HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! This is your card reading for Friday, October 31st/14. Your card today was drawn from the 'Saints & Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is the 'Steady Progress' card, which is aligned with the Saint, St. Therese of Lisieux (Little Flower).
Doreen's message for the card is this:
"You've been making steady progress, and it's important for you to recognize that this progress (not perfection) is what's important. This is a message for you to appreciate how much you've already achieved and how many people you've helped along the way. Keep your focus away from any lapses that you think you've made. Guilt and regrets never helped anyone, so let them go today.
You're also asked to forgive yourself for what you think you've done or not done. St. Therese didn't live a life of spiritual perfection (she often fell asleep or was distracted during her prayers, for example). Yet, she insisted that it's 'the little way' of steady progression that connects us with God and Heaven. She wrote: 'Learn and grow from your challenges, but don't let them stop you from your devotion or spiritual path."
St. Therese was born in Lisieux, France, in 1873 and became a Carmelite nun along with two of her sisters. Therese began having mystical experiences, which she wrote about (only because her mother superior ordered her to do so) in an autobiography called 'The Story of a Soul'. Many miraculous of ailments, such as ulcers, tuberculosis, and arthritis are attributed to St. Therese's intercession. Upon her deathbed, she promised to send roses as a sign of her presence and devotion, so she's often referred to as 'Little Flower'."
My message for you today is this:
At times in our life---and on our spiritual path---we will experience periods of accelerated growth and progress. Awesome! Yet, we sometimes have the expectation that this period of accelerated growth must CONTINUE in the same way, in order to be effective or 'worthwhile'. Not true! Periods of accelerated growth and progress are most effective when followed up by a period of 'integration', as I call it. Slow down, integrate and adjust to the shift that you have experienced; so that you can best incorporate the positive changes that have occurred. In this physical existence, it is impossible to maintain a CONSTANT rapid trajectory of transition, without incorporating periods of lull, or rest, or adjustment. Simply said, you can not be moving forward at 'mach one' constantly! You only need to observe Mother Nature to see the truth in this. Trees that grow too quickly or plants that bloom to prolifically tend to 'burn themselves out' and do not survive.
Panache Desai, whom I had the privilege of learning from at an Immersion on Vancouver Island last August, admitted to having gone into a 'tailspin' of sorts following his world-wide interview with Oprah Winfrey on Super Soul Sunday. The exposure that this televised interview brought to him and to his spiritual work, hugely impacted his world and sent him reeling for a time---even with his advanced understanding of energy and what he calls our 'Soul Signature'. As an acclaimed spiritual mentor/teacher; or rather, 'energetic catalyst' as he defines himself; Panache was still 'off-kilter' and required a period of adjustment and integration to the huge shift that followed his global interview experience. The point in this is that we are MEANT to have periods of rest and integration, in order to enjoy STEADY PROGRESS, in our lives and on our spiritual path.
St. Therese has presented to remind us of that today. Take the pressure off! Celebrate the periods of rapid growth and ALSO the perceived 'steps backward' that have brought you to where you are. It is ALL GOOD! We are not MEANT to be PERFECT here in this physical experience. When you choose to live your life CONSCIOUSLY, however, you will find that the growth and periods of integration flow with greater ease and grace; that the steps 'backward' will be seen as progress in their own way, also; and you will understand that you are so supported by the Divine as you make your journey here on Earth!
Blessed be...
I HAD SUCH FUN ON CINDY SMITH'S RADIO SHOW LAST EVENING!!!
We were on the air for 1 1/2 hours, and time flew by! If you were unable to listen to the show live, you can access it on at www.True2YouRadio.com, by clicking on 'Archives' and selecting 'Angel Empowerment'. I am in deep gratitude for sharing this experience with my friend! Thank you to the callers who took the time to call in; and to all who listened! Joyful!
This is your card reading for Thursday, October 30th/14. As Cindy works closely with Archangel Michael, I chose the 'Archangel Michael' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue, for your reading today. Two cards sailed out of the deck together---the 'You created this situation, and you have the power to change it' card; and the 'Use your imagination...and you'll see the answer' card. Doreen has posted a prayer from Archangel Michael on each card in this deck, and then has the meaning for the card in the guidebook. Doreen's messages for the cards are:
~You created this situation and you have the power to change it.~
"My Prayer: Thank you for letting me lean on your strength and for reminding me of my personal power. Please guide me to manifest and heal according to Divine will, creating peace and blessings for everyone involved.
Message: This card is a reminder that YOU are a powerful creator, made in the image and likeness of the Divine Creator! You're not a passive victim; you have the right and skills to rise above and change everything in this situation and relationship. However, as long as you blame others or believe that they're controlling you, you'll remain stuck. But by calling upon God and Archangel Michael, and then taking charge according to your guidance, you can change everything in miraculous ways.
Possible specific meanings: *Let go of blame toward yourself or others. * Write down a list of action steps and then follow through with one or more per day. * Have an honest discussion with the other person in this situation. * Take one or more steps today toward turning your dreams into reality. * Give yourself permission to make healthful life changes. *
~Use your imagination...and you'll see the answer.~
"My Prayer: Dear God, thank you for granting me the wisdom and creativity to see your miracles in new and unexpected ways. I gratefully and gracefully accept and appreciate your help [describe the situation].
Message: The angels are giving you guidance and answering your prayers, yet their messages may seem out of the ordinary and unexpected, so you'll need to use your imagination to understand them. Let go of preconceptions or old beliefs of what won't or can't happen. The angels have unlimited resources, and they've orchestrated a solution that you can see if you believe that everything is possible.,
Possible specific meanings: *Sit down with pen and paper and start brainstorming. * Move forward with your idea, no matter how far-fetched it may seem. * Your ideas are the answers to your prayers. * You've fully supported as you pursue your dreams. * Jot down a list of what you believe can't or won't happen, and then burn it as a way of opening your mind to all possibilities. * Know that you deserve to receive Heaven's guidance and gifts. *
My message for you today is this:
Archangel Michael's name means 'He who is like God'. Archangel Michael is the supreme protector and he also assists us with issues pertaining to our life purpose. Many experience his aura as royal purple in color, and a crystal said to align well with his energy is Sugilite. The Archangel's vibration is such that they have the ability to bi-locate---to be with multiple souls simultaneously---therefore, you are not pulling Archangel Michael from another when you call upon him to assist you. My friend, Cindy Smith, whom I mentioned above, works very closely with Archangel Michael and has asked him to be with her at all times to assist her in her spiritual work and her own life experience, as well.
Archangel Michael's messages for you today remind you of your self-empowerment and that you are a powerful manifestor. Michael also reminds you of the Divine support and guidance that is available to you, so that you can seek out what is in your greater good and in fact, for the greater good of All. His message is a very positive and uplifting message about you as the co-creator of your life experience. When you strive to CONSCIOUSLY CREATE, you invite in the experiences and situations that are of the highest vibration. Trust in your connection to the Divine, where unconditional Love resides for you. Step into your power and receive the guidance being offered you. Call upon Archangel Michael to assist you in receiving and discerning what your next empowered step(s) will be toward manifesting your desired outcome.
Blessed be...
Well.....it would seem that we have TWO Wednesdays in this week, since this is your card reading for WEDNESDAY, October 29th/14, and I posted yesterday's reading as Wednesday, also! Ha! My apologies for the confusion...
I chose Doreen Virtue's 'Healing With Your Angels' card deck to draw your card from today. This is the very first angel oracle card deck that my friend, Cindy Smith, acquired and I will be spending time with her as her guest on her radio show this evening---so I wanted to honour the amazing journey that this deck of cards initiated for Cindy! I have stated many times that in regards to the cards that reveal themselves for your readings here---I couldn't script it if I tried---I am often in awe of how Spirit brings forth the messages. Therefore, when the 'Friendship' card wafted out of the deck for your reading today, on a day when I will be connecting on the radio with a dear friend who has been so impactful in my life, I just had to smile... I hope that you will join Cindy and I this evening on True 2 You Radio at 8 pm MST, for a half hour show entitled 'Angel Empowerment'!
Now, in regards to your reading for today (yep...Wednesday!), Doreen's message for the 'Friendship' card is this:
"Changes in your friendships are occurring. Be lovingly honest with yourself and your friends right now, and appreciate the healing benefits of a true friend.
Not only are you changing on the inside, but your life is changing on the outside as well! Among these changes are your relationships with friends. Perhaps you fear that you no longer have common interests with old friends. Or, maybe you wonder if you'll meet new friends with whom you'll share close bonds.
Changes in friendships are natural, and the angels ask you to surrender your relationships to them. Know that God and the angels watch over you and your friends. They will lovingly help all of you during these transitions. This card also signifies that you are ready to receive new friendships with people who mirror your interests and ambitions."
My message for you today is this:
I have been blessed with some wonderful friendships in my life. I'm sure that you've heard or read the poem about 'a season, a reason, or a lifetime', which speaks to the time-frame that certain people are in our lives. Some friendships span the course of our entire life, and other friendships may be a brief interlude in our life---yet, even the brief friendships can be impactful and meaningful regarding our journey here on Earth. Today, the angels are asking you to contemplate and celebrate the friendships that have touched you in a significant way---even those that may have had some painful experiences associated with them, because those friendships also served you, in the big scheme of things.
The cosmic energy that we have been in, including Mercury Retrograde, has been urging you to be AUTHENTIC! Fully embrace all that you are and be genuine in your relationships. The time for 'hiding' is over---shine your Light. The angels will support you through the changes that may occur in your relationships as you step into your authentic self. Always keep in mind that YOU draw certain people into your life, and you don't always know at the time the significance of that relationship until you have 'hindsight'. For many years, I kept my 'psychic self' hidden away and shared this part of myself with precious few. When I finally chose to reveal myself, I was pleasantly surprised at how most of my friends responded and embraced me for all that I am... In fact, my honesty inspired some of my friends to seek and learn about their own spiritual selves, and it has brought me great joy to witness their spiritual growth and to share in their experiences! Of course, there have also been friends that I no longer share the same connection with, but that's ok.
I know that you have had the experience of meeting someone and having the feeling that you 'have known each other forever'---the connection between you is a powerful one and is instantaneous. I believe these to be Soul connections---that in such cases you have shared a past-life with one another---and the intense bond between you has carried over into this lifetime. I share this type of connection with Cindy Smith, and although we seldom have th opportunity to spend time together in our currently busy lives, we both feel a deep bond of friendship that transcends this lifetime. I am so grateful for having that bond with Cindy and with other valued friendships in my life!
Today is a day of HONOURING the special friendships that you have been blessed with---for ALL that they have brought to your life. The angels ask you, also, to HONOUR yourself, by being brave enough to be authentic in your friendships. Share who you truly are...be a TRUE friend...to yourself and others! I took the picture of your card today with the Autumn gourds that are representative of 'harvest' and 'bounty. Give gratitude for the bounty of friendship in your life!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Wednesday, October 28th/14. Your card today wafted out of the 'Messages From Your Angels' card deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. This was my very first card deck that I purchased well over a decade ago, and so it holds a special place in my heart! The Angel who has presented for your reading today is 'Francesca', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"What do you desire right now? Visualize it, and it will come about. Negativity will block your progress...
You have been asking God and the angels, 'What is next for me?' Yet we have been waiting for you to make that decision for yourself! That is why you have felt stuck lately. This impasse occurs because you are afraid of making a 'wrong' decision. We can help you to decide, but ultimately the next chapter of your life is up to you. This is a period of your life that is unscripted.
Your desires are like a painting that you create upon the canvas of your life. Like an artist, you must decide what the theme, background, and foreground will be within your picture. Take some time out to meditate, pray upon, and contemplate this important decision. Be creative, and maintain standards for yourself. But remember: If you don't make a decision, that's the same thing as deciding that everything shall remain the same."
My message for you today is this:
We are in a powerful time of manifestation energy; having just exited Mercury Retrograde, which is excellent for 'clearing things up' and bringing to the surface what needs to be released or dealt with. In addition, we had the New Moon with the partial solar eclipse last week. The time is ripe for focussing upon and striving toward your dreams and desires! The angel, Francesca, has stepped forward for you today to encourage you to GO FOR IT! The Universe is an abundant Universe, but during this potent time of creative energy, it is KEY that you be clear with yourself about what your desires truly are. Allow yourself some time of quiet contemplation, and then write down what your Soul desires for you in moving forward. Understand that the WAY in which your desires come to fruition may not happen exactly as you have imagined---this is where FAITH and TRUST come in. The Divine has a greater perspective than we do here in the physical---you may be surprised by the people, opportunities and situations that are brought to you in pursuit of your Soul's desire! Yet, you will have a 'knowing' that such things are all part of the 'greater plan' for you! Consciously commune with your Guides and Angels, and also with Francesca, in moving forward in the way that you are meant to at this time! To doubt will only hold you back---trust and take a leap of faith! Now is the time!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Monday, October 27th/14. Your card floated out of the 'Archangel Oracle Cards' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is the 'Clairvoyance' card, which is aligned with Archangel Raziel. Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Archangel Raziel ~ 'I'm helping your spiritual sight to awaken fully so you can clearly see Heavenly love.'
Additional Message ~ Your clairvoyance may come in different forms: as fleeting mental images in your mind's eye; as dreams; as recurring sights in the physical world; as auras and energy; or as apparition experiences. All of the facets of clairvoyance are beautiful and varied. Enjoy and trust them. Hold the intention of seeing only love, and that is what you'll see."
My message for you today is this:
Due to how it is portrayed by the media, clairvoyance is the least understood of the psychic senses. Television shows and movies have made is 'appear' (pun intended!) as though, when you receive psychic information clairvoyantly, it happens as if you are viewing a movie screen in front of you. Granted, some clairvoyants DO receive information in that manner, but that is not typically the case. The word 'clairvoyant' means 'clear seeing'---and the ways in which we can receive information using sight are varied and powerful in their own way.
Doreen lists some of the means by which we receive information clairvoyantly, in her message for this card. I would like to expand on the forms of clairvoyance that Doreen mentioned:
~Psychic-Medium John Holland, uses an excellent exercise when teaching others about clairvoyance. John says to close your eyes and imagine the kitchen in your home and all that you are familiar with---it is very easy to 'pull up' an image of your kitchen 'in your mind's eye'. This is one way in which you receive and will envision clairvoyant messages---you will 'see' an image or scene 'in your mind's eye'.
~There is an aspect of dreaming called 'lucid dreaming'---this means to be 'aware' that you are dreaming. We receive psychic messages and information clairvoyantly when we lucid dream; and often just prior to falling asleep or just upon waking, before the conscious mind has a chance to take over! In such instances, quickly jot down what you have received before you are fully awake and the information/message is lost.
~When messages on billboards or newspapers or magazine covers, etc. grab our attention, that can be a message that Spirit is sending our way. Perhaps you have been thinking about a situation that you wish to have clarity on and then your attention is drawn to a bumper sticker on the vehicle in front of you with words that relate to the situation. Or you are thinking of a loved one who has passed, and a butterfly, feather, coin, or whatever symbol you may associate with that Soul appears before you.
~Some people are adept at 'reading' and seeing the auras of objects, animals and Souls. An aura is an energetic field. Because we are energetic beings and energy is always in motion, some aspects of our aura fluctuate according to what is happening in our lives. Our aura responds and reacts to the surrounding energy, and in turn, our aura impacts the space that it occupies, also. There are clairvoyants whose gift is in accessing psychic information through another's aura. This is just another means of 'seeing'.
~When I 'see' a Guardian Angel or Spirit Guide for a client who has come to me for a consultation, I typically see what I think of as 'vibrational waves'---something like the heat waves that would come off of the hot desert---rather than a clear image. I have the understanding that our Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides are Light Beings of such a high vibration that they are not in physical form, but that they only present themselves to us in physical form, so that we can better relate to them. That is why I believe that I usually see them as a 'vibration', sometimes with a few physical details, like hair color, or style of dress.
On some occasions, I have received a clearer image (what Doreen refers to as an 'apparition') of a Guardian Angel, Spirit Guide or crossed-over---most often in relation to myself---but sometimes it is just the 'energy field' that I see.
The point here is to understand the myriad of ways that you can receive information clairvoyantly, and to trust in the information that Spirit is sharing with you!
Archangel Raziel, whose name means 'Secrets of God', is the Archangel who assists us with spiritual and psychic blocks. Many experience his aura as all the colors of the rainbow, and so a clear quartz crystal (which can exhibit all the rainbow colors through refraction) is a crystal that aligns well with Raziel's energy. Archangel Raziel has presented for you today to remind you that you ARE clairvoyant and able to receive information from Spirit in this way. Call upon him to assist you with the psychic sense of clairvoyance and then, TRUST, ALLOW, and BELIEVE!
Blessed be...
Good morning from Anthem, Arizona! We have arrived to our place in Arizona from our trip to Brazil, and I will be posting your daily card readings (Monday through Friday) on a regular basis, once again!
This is your daily card reading for Friday, October 24th/14---the day following the New Moon lunar eclipse last evening. Your card floated out of the 'Universal Laws of Conscious Creation' fractal art deck, authored by Lara Solara, Dana LaPointe and Marlene Chapman. Your card is the 'Universal Law of Gratitude' card. Lara, Dana and Marlene's message for the card is this:
"The Law of Gratitude states that the feeling of appreciation is a powerful vibration that attracts further good and generates more conditions in your life to feel grateful about. Gratitude puts you in harmony with what you want . In order to attract more of what you want into your life, you must be grateful for what you already have. Things are good and desirable because we value them; other things are considered worthless and undesirable because we do not appreciate them. Even the circumstances you judge to be bad and undesirable have value. Challenge yourself to appreciate both the good and the bad that you encounter. This card is telling you that the power to create better conditions lies within your ability to appreciate your current conditions. The attitude of gratitude makes the current moment enjoyable---it also draws more good toward you. The Universe is reminding you that you can speed up the creative process by focusing more attention and energy on gratitude. Keep appreciating the good that already exists, and watch how more good things flood into your life."
My message for you today is this:
How serendipitous that this card presented for you today! The New Moon lunar eclipse last evening---and the cosmic energies leading up to and out of that event---highly encourages letting go of what no longer serves you and setting firm intentions for what you wish to draw into your life. This 'season' of eclipses that we are in, is conducive to manifesting what you desire for 2015, so be cognizant and conscious of where you place your thoughts and your intentions at this time. As I was sitting this morning (due to traveling, I was unable to carry out this exercise yesterday, but we still remain in the New Moon eclipse energy into today regardless) composing my list of what I wish to consciously and intentionally release; and then what I consciously and intentionally wish to draw into my life circumstances in the upcoming year; I realized that it is necessary to feel gratitude for ALL that led me to this time and place. This is also the message that your card today brings forward for you. As you CONSCIOUSLY release what no longer serves you; do not drop into self-judgment or regret regarding past experiences that you may deem as 'negative'. Rather, employ the powerful manifestation energy of the Universal Law of Gratitude with the understanding that ALL experiences lead you to where you are today. Choose consciously and intentionally to feel grateful for the learnings; and now employ the lessons and learnings that you have from the past to carry you forward in a new way. We truly are in an INTENSE time of conscious manifestation! You are so supported in expressing your SOULFUL SELF out into the world!
Utilize the Universal Law of Gratitude to keep your intentions and self-expression in the highest vibration.
Blessed be...
BOM DIA!!! (Good Morning!)
This is your card reading for Friday, October 10th/14 from the beautiful coastal city of VILA VELHA, BRAZIL, where we are visiting our son and daughter-in-law! Your card flew out of the 'Return of Spirit' fractal art deck authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. Your card is the 'Birthing' card, and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"When we are in the process of creating something new in our life, we are actually calling on our Divine force, and mastering our gift as creators, to bring something new into this world. Trust yourself in all that you are doing at this moment. Your instinct and intuition will guide you. The goals, projects, or ideas you are working on are important in the cosmic plan. There are many higher energies working with you, and through you, to help you complete what you are working toward.
Remember though, the process of giving birth involves going through labour. You may be feeling a lot of pressure at the moment. But discomfort during labour is natural. Don't give in or lose hope because of it. You are doing the right thing. Don't let small disappointments or upsets lead you to thinking you are not on the right track. You are. Pain is just a natural part of labour.
You may also be feeling the urge to push, even though it is not time to. Do not allow your impatience to get the best of you. Allow everything its own time and trust the process. You do not want to start things prematurely. Completing the gestation period is vital. So be mindful not to rush. Gestation always happens before the labour begins.
The Birthing card also comes to those who are symbolically giving birth to the higher aspects of their selves. Usually, this period involves its own set of growing pains, as you learn to move out of old ways of being, and outdated limiting beliefs. Trust that the challenges you are facing at this time are essential to this process. You are evolving, growing and changing into more truthful version of you. Stay strong---you are nearly there."
My message for you today is this:
We have just experienced a full 'Blood Moon' eclipse this week and we are also in Mercury Retrograde at this time---cosmic energies are powerful and conducive to encourage self-reflection; self-improvement; and self-development. We have been advised by those who understand cosmic energy---and it's effect on us here on Earth, energetically---to look back to April of this year as to what we were focussed upon at that time. You will likely see that it is close to reaching it's gestation point in the near future---the time of birthing that which you sought to create is close at hand. In addition, this season of eclipses that we are now in, are related to the major themes occurring in your life in 1996. This IS indeed a time of 'Birthing'! Choose to do so consciously---consciously create! You have done the work to get you to where you are now... These are exciting times---continue to move forward with courage, determination, conscious intention and faith!
Blessed be...
