Spread Your Wings

Your card today is drawn from the 'Archangel Oracle Cards' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is the 'Spread Your Wings!' card, and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Archangel Ariel:  Do not hold back right now. The timing is perfect, and you are ready to soar!"

My message for you today is this:
Quite honestly, initially, I felt that this card was NOT the intended card for today, when it dropped out of the deck, because the energy of today feels a little more 'laid back' and less 'pushy' than it has in recent weeks...  Then I realized that Ariel's energy is such that, even when you are being compelled or propelled to embrace 'all that you are', it still has a feeling of 'gentle encouraging' about it, as her energy is so gentle in nature (DO NOT misinterpret 'gentleness' as meaning 'lack of strength'!)  I JUST realized the pun in having said 'gentle in nature' when referring to Ariel's energy, because she is often referred to as the 'nature angel'!  (I just love how the messages come forward in a way that I couldn't script if I tried!!!)  Ariel means 'Lioness of God', her aura is experienced by many as pale pink and a crystal said to align well with her energy is rose quartz (the stone of unconditional Love).  Ariel is encouraging you today to 'spread your wings', and to acknowledge to yourself that you DO have your own unique contribution to make to the betterment of your own personal environment and therefore, the environment at large. (The 'ripple effect').  It is by accepting that you CAN and DO make a difference that you begin to affect change. Ariel is reminding you that having such an attitude DOES NOT mean that you are residing in EGO.  If you focus on coming from a 'heart-centred place of service' in sharing your gifts with others, you are thereby HONOURING THE DIVINE for having blessed you with your own unique gifts.  It is not coincidence that the crystal associated with Ariel is rose quartz...the crystal of UNCONDITIONAL love, thereby also associated with the HEART CHAKRA, and that acts of service truly come from the heart!  Just residing in the energy of, 'How may I serve?' invites so many opportunities into your life for you to do so. Today, Ariel is asking you to KNOW that you have wings, and to be brave enough to take flight when you are guided to do so, understanding that you are completed supported by the Divine!  You are safe, and you are loved!
Blessed be...
