Honesty


This is your card reading for Friday, February 27th/15.  Your card is from the 'Mary, Queen of Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is 'Honesty' and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"I am in touch with my true feelings regarding this situation.
You received this card in answer to your question, because Mother Mary sees a need for self-honesty if you are to proceed. What do you have to admit to yourself about your current situation?  When you think about it, what feelings arise?  Why?
It's important to take stock of your emotions and thoughts about anything that confuses or annoys you.  Otherwise, you're reacting instead of taking charge.  Although the ego is threatened by looking deeper, it's an essential component of healing this situation. This card guides you to take some time to evaluate and understand your feelings. Remember:  you are entitled to them, and they are neither right nor wrong.  Very often, your feelings are the voices of angels delivering God's guidance to you."

My message for you today is this:
A spiritual mentor that I have been strongly drawn to, and have been studying with these past few years~Panache Desai, who describes himself at as a 'vibrational catalyst'~says that emotions are 'energy in motion'.  He advocates that there are no 'good' or 'bad' emotions, but that emotions are simply energy and we are MEANT to experience the myriad of emotions while we are in this physical experience.  His teachings are that, when we seek to deny or 'squash' an emotion rather than to experience it and allow it to flow though us, we create energetic blockages.  He advises that our emotions act as 'guideposts' in our life and can serve to direct us in living a Soulful life, when we acknowledge and embrace them. 
Mother Mary has presented for you today with that same message.  I would add to her message that, "It's important to take stock of your emotions and thoughts about anything that confuses or annoys you", to include ALL of your emotional experiences.  You FEEL what you are feeling for a reason!  Whether you feel happy, satisfied, fulfilled, frightened, anxious, angry, hurt...ALL feelings are here to serve you when you acknowledge them as a guiding force.  If you are feeling frustrated, rather than try to deny your frustration, ask yourself WHY you are feeling that way.  Frustration is not a BAD emotion---it is simply 'energy in motion'.  What is your frustration seeking to indicate to you about something you may need to change or perhaps quit attempting to change?  We have been taught in our culture that anger is a BAD emotion, as well.  Let me tell you that your anger can actually serve you!  It is the actions that you take as a result of feeling anger that determine whether it is a detriment in your life.  Anger can be a powerful motivating force for making necessary change and for positive movement in your life. It is often not until we reach the stage of feeling ANGRY that we are willing to step out of our 'comfort zone of being uncomfortable'. The next time you feel angry---rather than dismiss that feeling because you feel guilty for feeling it; or worse yet, simply venting and spewing irrationally in an attempt to release that energy---consciously acknowledge that you feel angry and ask what the anger is there to show you.  Then take conscious action around that.  Listen...we are here in this physical experience and there will absolutely times and circumstances in your life when you will not handle your anger or other emotions in a 'conscious' way!  The message today is to STRIVE to do so, and to see just how effective your emotions can be in assisting you in navigating this life experience. 
Mother Mary is asking you to acknowledge ALL of your emotions and then to take CONSCIOUS ACTION, rather than to simply be reactionary.  See your emotions as indicators and 'guideposts', as Panache describes them.  Step out of self-judgment for feeling certain emotions and utilize them, instead, to steer you in the best direction.  Be HONEST with yourself about what you are feeling and WHY you are feeling it---what is the underlying message that this emotion is sharing with you?  Mother Mary's nurturing maternal energy will assist you in this self-discovery.
Blessed be...

Time to Decide


This is your card reading for Thursday, February 26th/15.  Your card dropped out of the 'Life Purpose' card deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is 'Time to Decide', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Make a decision based on your heart's true desires.
The angels ask you to be very honest with yourself (and them) about your dreams and desires.  What do you want?  What do you wish to change?  What are you waiting for? Allow yourself to acknowledge your genuine feelings.  Have the courage to admit your dreams.
This card indicates that if you can dream it, you can do it.  The angels are encouraging you to explore your options and take charge of your life.  After all, your work comprises a major portion of your daily activities.  You (like everyone) deserve to spend your time in meaningful and enjoyable ways."

My message for you today is this:
Your message today is not only in regards to the career aspect of your life.  It speaks to any aspect of your life where you have felt a calling to make a change or have felt a spark of inspiration.  Why are we often reluctant to admit or---Heaven forbid---SPEAK ALOUD our deepest desires and aspirations for ourselves?  It is because these heartfelt desires and aspirations are Soul-based and therefore precious to us. To reveal them may make us feel vulnerable to ridicule or to potential negative responses that could discourage us in our vision.  To be honest, just as an infant is cocooned in the womb for a gestation period---protected and yet nourished as it grows and develops---it is often beneficial to hold our deepest dreams, desires and aspirations close to our heart until the time is right to 'birth' them. Yet, so many of us allow our fear to hold us back and remain too long in the 'gestation' period, attempting to protect ourselves from the risk of revealing and sharing that integral part of us.  The angels are encouraging you today to begin by authentically acknowledging TO YOURSELF your sincere feelings and desires and aspirations. Trust and know that these aspirations are, in part, the means by which the Divine wishes to see you express yourself out into the World.  You were given your own unique attributes, talents, and abilities for a reason---that reason is so that the Divine could be expressed through you. To understand and embrace this is NOT being in EGO...but rather, acknowledging the Divine spark within you.  When you are coming from what I call 'a heart-centered place of service' (which means expressing your abilities and talents from a loving, giving place; rather than from an Ego-gratification place) you are in symphony with the Divine.  It is far from a selfish act to pursue and express your dreams and aspirations---quite the opposite. When you follow your dreams you serve to inspire and lift the world up, in a true expression of the Divine.  The angels are urging you to decide to live your best life, and this begins by acknowledging your deepest desires and dreams for yourself...then making the decision to actively strive for that in your life.
Blessed be...

Athena ~ Inner Wisdom


This is your daily card reading for Wednesday, February 25th/15.  Your card is from the 'Goddess Guidance' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is 'Athena ~ Inner Wisdom', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"You know what to do.  Trust your inner wisdom, and take appropriate action without delay.
MESSAGE FROM ATHENA:  I'm happy to assist you; however you'll be most thrilled when you first consult your own inner bank of knowledge.  For I assure you that this situation is already resolved and that you have access to all the wisdom that the universe supplies.  To access this wisdom, you must quiet your mind.  Surrender all worries and other concerns to the loving and almighty power of the universe.  Close your eyes, and note the thoughts and feelings that come streaming into your consciousness.  If you like, you can ask me to give you a signal that you've heard your inner wisdom correctly.  But have faith.  I assure you that you HAVE heard, and that the guidance brings you and your loved ones very good news indeed.
VARIOUS MEANINGS OF THE CARD:  Stop procratinating. * Stop giving away your power to others. * Trust your gut. * Don't second-guess yourself. * You are correct. * Notice recurring ideas, and take action on them."

My message for you today is this:
Athena, the daughter of Zeus, is a well-known Greek Goddess.  She is often depicted with the White Owl---one of her Power Animals.  This powerful goddess is known as a warrior; but battles with her wits rather than physicality.  She is also recognized for assisting us with matters of a creative nature: including writing, arts and crafts. 
Athena has presented for you today to remind you about your own self-empowerment and to trust in that 'gut feeling' that you have in regards to a certain situation in your life experience at this time.  There is nothing wrong with seeking the advice and counsel of others; but when it comes right down to it, you must do what feels RIGHT with your Soul. As Athena has advised in her message through Doreen: to reach this place of inner wisdom, you must go within and set aside any distractions.  Allow yourself a quiet moment and the sanctity of simply sitting quietly with yourself.  Then pose the question or reflect upon the situation that you seek 'knowing' about, and pay attention to the thoughts and feelings that arise around that.  Your emotions are serving you as a guidepost---do not judge them or try to alter them---pay attention to the emotions that arise within you.  You will KNOW the answer, even if it makes you feel slightly uncomfortable to embrace it!  The RIGHT thing to do is not always the EASY thing to do!  Keep in mind that this is for your greater good, and move forward from a self-empowered stance!  Call upon Athena to support you in standing in your power---recognizing that to be a 'warrior' on your own behalf, does NOT imply disempowering another!  True self-empowerment serves to inspire others to stand in their power, also.  To truly stand in your power exudes 'gentle strength' that is undeniable, and you have this within you.  Utilize it today!  Athena will stand with you.
Blessed be...

Friendship


This is your card reading for Tuesday, February 24th/15.  Your card skimmed out of the 'Healing With the Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is 'Friendship', and Doreen's message for the 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 mentioned in previous postings here that it took me some time to come out of the 'psychic closet', even though I have been actively studying various metaphysical modalities for close to two decades now.  It was difficult for me to open up and be authentic about my psychic self, even with my close friends, because I had a long held pattern of keeping my abilities 'hidden away' for fear of being 'different', although I have felt 'different' all my life. In time, my hesitation to share that part of myself was more because I held it as sacred, and I feared judgment of what was such an integral part of me.  Let me say that when I finally took the courageous (yes---it felt courageous) step to reveal (to only a few select friends, at first) my spiritual, authentic Self, my life and friendships were enhanced in ways I could not have foreseen!  Not only did my special friends lovingly embrace and accept me and my revelations about my Spiritual path; I have witnessed the blessing of seeing some of them move forward in expanding and developing their own Consciousness in their own way and how their lives have been significantly improved because of this.  I have had the great pleasure of sharing experiences with them that I had previously shut them out of, and what I had already considered to be important friendships have deepened all the more!  Joyful!
I have also come to understand that there are friendships and relationships which no longer 'resonate'---those friendships and relationships were a blessing and I am in gratitude for having had them. Yet we have chosen this physical experience, which involves growth and change...not always in the same direction as those we once traveled with.  Sometimes it's healthy and necessary to say good-bye.  
Also, I know that you have all experienced those people who you felt a close connection with as soon as you met...there's an instant familiarity and it's as if you have already had a long history together.  Well, I believe that you HAVE shared a history, if not in this physical lifetime.  I call these 'Soul connections', wherein your Soul recognizes the Soul in another because you have had past lifetime experiences together.  I am so blessed to have what have come to be known as 'Soul Sista' relationships that transcend this physical lifetime, but that enhance it in such profound ways.
Finally, it is important to understand that we have what I call 'pockets of friends', who bring their own blessings to our life experience in their own ways.  Although all of my close friends and the significant people in my life now know about my psychic abilities; not all of them are interested in being actively involved in that aspect of my life.  That's okay, because while it is not 'for them', they honour that it is an integral part of who I am and they accept me in my totality.  We do not have to be exactly alike in every way, in order to enjoy each other's company!  In fact, our differences are sometimes what draws us together in exposing each other to new and exciting experiences.  For example, I have a friend who is a bit of a daredevil and who 'enjoys feeling scared'...she has lovingly pushed me outside my comfort zone to have experiences that I actually found exhilarating and I wouldn't have had, were she not there to 'push' me.  She has informed me that there will be an experience with a combination of 'repelling and zip-lining' in my future...yikes...I am afraid of heights...but feel sure that if she lines it all up, I will be right there with her, and will be so grateful that I was a part of it  (I have informed HER, however, that I will NEVER bungee-jump or sky-dive...and I MEAN that)!
In order to be a TRUE FRIEND, you must begin by being true to yourself and honour yourself by being your authentic self.  Only then can you share in the deepest form of friendship, and the joy that that brings to your life!  As in all aspects of your life, your Angels are there to support and encourage, every step of the way, and that includes regarding your friendships.  Ask your Angels to help you have the vulnerability to share your authentic Self within existing friendships and relationships; to have the courage to walk away from what no longer serves you, even as you bless how it served you in the past; and to be open to the new friendships and experiences that await you on your journey.
Blessed be...

All Is Well


This is your card reading for Monday, February 23rd/15.  Your card is from the 'Archangel' oracle card deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is 'All Is Well', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"ARCHANGEL JEREMIEL:  Everything is happening exactly as it is supposed to, with hidden blessings you will soon understand.
ADDITIONAL MESSAGE:  Sometimes, what appears to be a problem is actually an answered prayer in disguise. When we ask for help, Heaven may dismantle the old to make room for the new.  During this time of change, practise relaxation methods such as yoga, deep breathing, exercise, and meditation.  Ask me to make your transition smooth and harmonious for everyone involved.  And know that this change is for the better!"

My message for you today is this:
Archangel Jeremiel's name means, 'Mercy of God'.  He assists us in healing our emotions and his energy is of 'gentle strength'.  Many experience his aura as violet.  A crystal that aligns well with his energy is Amethyst, which is no surprise, as I think of Amethyst as the 'harmony stone'.  Implement Amethyst to assist you in bringing in Jeremiel's energy.
Jeremiel has presented for you today to remind you that you may not understand all that the Universe conspires in answer to your prayers.  The Divine often has a higher perspective than we do here in the physical, and so even when things are not playing out for us as we believe they should, they are STILL playing out for us in our best interest.  That is when we require FAITH and the knowing that 'all is well', even as we find ourselves in what may be challenging times.  Perhaps you are not exactly in challenging times, but you feel a sense of frustration that things are not progressing as you believe they should.  If you have set an intention, and taken guided action toward your goal, then trust that things ARE progressing even though you may not be witnessing that yet in your experience.  Your doubt and fear energy may hold you back, so step instead into the knowing that 'all is well' and implement that energy to carry you forward.  Jeremiel is reassuring you today that your prayers have been heard!  Call upon him to support and assist you with having faith in that!  All is well!
Blessed be...

Kuthumi ~ Stay Focused


This is your card reading for Friday, February 20th/15.  Your card is from the 'Ascended Masters' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is 'Kuthumi ~ Stay Focused', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"You drew this card as a reminder to stay focused upon your intentions, desires, and priorities.  Don't allow yourself to be distracted by short-term situations, dramas, or other people's demands.  Keep a positive outlook about your dreams, and imagine that they've already manifested into reality.  Devote regular amounts of time toward your projects and priorities.  Say no to distractions and you will see results.  
ADDITIONAL MEANINGS FOR THIS CARD:  Be assertive with demands upon your time. * Keep your promises to yourself. * Commit to your priorities. * Spend time each day devoted to projects that are dear to your heart. * Detoxify your diet to help your mind to be clear and focused. *

My message for you today is this:
The Sikh spiritual leader, Kuthumi (pronounced Koo-THOO-mee, and also known as 'Koot Hoomi'), resided in India in the 1800's.  Madame Helena Blavatsky, a co-founder of the Theosophical Society in New York City in 1875 (theosophy, meaning 'knowledge of the Divine'), met Kuthumi during his lifetime, and---following his death---channeled messages from this Ascended Master.  This Ascended Master assists us with motivation and in attaining focus regarding our Divine life purpose. He reminds us that there will often be 'distractions' and even some hurdles to overcome, but if we remain focused upon our goal and have faith in the outcome, then it can and will be achieved.  
Call upon Kuthumi to bring a sense of peace if ever you are feeling overwhelmed by extenuating circumstances; or even frustrated about what would appear to be 'blocks' in moving toward your goals and desires.  He will assist you in moving through these perceived distractions and to deal with detractors with ease and grace. Kuthumi will shore up your 'knowing' that if you 'keep your eye on the prize', then your goals will be reached.
Blessed be...

Receiving from Angels


OOPS!  ALTHOUGH I THOUGHT THAT I HAD POSTED THIS ON TUESDAY, APPARENTLY I HAD NOT HIT THE 'PUBLISH' BUTTON!  HERE IT IS NOW...

This is your card reading for Tuesday, February 17th/15.  Your card is from the 'Gateway Oracle Cards' deck, authored by Denise Linn.  It is the 'Receiving from Angels' card, and Denise's message for the card is this:
"Shimmering wings of angels embrace me with love...
CARD MEANING:  Blessings from above are showering over your life.  Angels are real, and their presence is near---they are only a thought away.  Messengers from the Creator, they come to you with the immense blessings and love.  All is well.  Spread your wings and soar!
THE UNIVERSE WANTS YOU TO KNOW:  Angels are watching over you.  They love you deeply and profoundly.  Be still and open you heart to their wisdom and healing.  They will come to you in soft breezes, rainbows, and feathers that seem to magically appear.  These signs let you know that you are going in the right direction and that all is unfolding exactly as it should.
The angelic energy within you is expanding.  Know that you are an angelic healing force for others.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF:  How can I access the angelic energy within me?  What is the most important thing that my angels want me to know?  How can I accept and receive even more from the angelic realm?"

My message for you today is this:
We are all blessed with Guardian Angels in our lives---our own personal, loving advocates who are with us ALWAYS, whether we consciously acknowledge them or not.  My belief and experience is that we each have at least 2 Guardian Angels that we incarnate with, who remain with us throughout the course of our Earthly experience, and then additional Guardian Angels may join us---at various junctures of our lives---depending upon life circumstance and life purpose or mission.  
Guardian Angels are Light Beings, who have never been in physical form.  Their vibration allows them to be with us, and accessible to us, AT ALL TIMES.  They view us from that elevated perspective of unconditional LOVE that is the energy of the DIVINE.  They do not judge us and will NEVER denounce us, but of course, always want what is best for us.Their ability to 'see the bigger picture' for us, means that they can offer us guidance and support that is lovingly objective and progressive for our Soul.  Your Guardian Angels WANT to communicate with you---it is their greatest desire to be in conscious communion with you and to serve you in this way.  Having said that, all Angels are governed by the 'Law of Free Will'.  This Universal Law determines that any Angel, including your Guardian Angels, may not intervene in your life without your permission to do so.  To ask for Angelic assistance or support is NOT a complicated matter...simply ASK!  You need not recite some formal prayer (although it's fine to do so, if that feels right for you)---all that is required in seeking communion with your Guardian Angels is the INTENTION to do so!  Your request could be as simple as 'help'!  Simply set the intention and then express your desire to communicate with your Guardian Angel in whatever way feels right for you at the time. There are a number of guided meditation CD's available to assist you with this, if you feel drawn to that, also.  The key is to TRUST, ALLOW, and BELIEVE!  Once you have asked for support and guidance, be OPEN to receiving that guidance, in whatever way it is expressed.  Be conscious and aware.  The signs will be there, and it is up to you to relax into receiving and BELIEVING them!  
There are those who will say that our crossed-over Loved Ones are our Guardian Angels. While our Souls DO take on a higher vibration than our dense physical vibration when we cross-over, that vibration is NOT of the very high vibration of the Light Beings that are our Guardian Angels.  Simply put, crossed-over Loved Ones have to WORK to lower their vibration to be with us here in the physical, and it requires effort on their part to be in our vibration, so they are not able to be with us consistently and at all times, as our Guardian Angels are.  In addition, our crossed-over Loved Ones continue to work on their own Soul development and progression while on the Other Side, and so they are not accessible to us 24/7, as our Guardian Angels are.  Having said that, our crossed-over Loved Ones CAN and DO visit us and can be said to act in a 'Guardian Angel capacity', when their visits occur 'just when we need them'; to support us through a difficult or dangerous situation; or to celebrate a joyous event in our lives with us.  
The Angelic Realm---all facets of it---Guardian Angels, Archangels, Nature Angels and Fairies, etc, are a gift from the Creator and are messengers of that Divine source.  Just as everyone has Guardian Angels, everyone holds the ability to commune with their Angels, and you are being lovingly reminded of that today.  Embrace this gift...
Blessed be...

Faith


This is your card reading for Thursday, February 19th/15.  Your card pitched out of 'Manifesting Wealth & Wisdom' oracle card deck, authored by my friend, Jaden Sterling. You can purchase a deck of these awesome oracle cards at Jaden's website page:
www.jadensterling.com.
Your card is 'Faith', and Jaden's message for the card is this:
'The Universe is reminding you how important it is to have faith at this time.  
Having faith in yourself and in the Universe, especially now, is paramount and will assure a positive outcome for you.
ACTION:  Make a list of the areas in your life where you lack faith.  Ask yourself; by not having faith is this helping me reach my goals?
Next, make a list of the areas in your life where you already have faith.
Lastly, make a list of five steps you can take today toward increasing your faith, then follow them."

My message for you today is this:
Wow!  The card and message that presented today SO relates to a conversation that I had with my dear friend, Lynda, yesterday during her visit!  I personally resonate strongly with Jaden's message for this card today, and I trust that it will serve those who feel drawn to visit this reading, as well. I love the synchronicity of the Universe, and how the support and guidance is truly there for us if we strive to be conscious and aware! 
There is a powerful quote by Rabindranath Tagore, an Indian author who became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913, that says:
"Faith is a bird that feels dawn breaking and sings while it is still dark."
Faith holds a powerful energy, but we must FEEL it---not just SPEAK it---regardless of our current situation or circumstances.  The Universal Law of Attraction requires that we have faith...the faith to believe that we are truly drawing to ourselves what we may not be currently experiencing.  
I appreciate that Jaden suggests ACTION steps to take, as FAITH is not a sedentary experience!  Faith gives us the motivation to take action, in order to achieve our desired outcome.  Another quote by Rabindranath Tagore that speaks to this is:
"You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water."
Metaphorically, you must first have faith that you CAN cross the sea; then take the steps to make it happen, even if there are those who would have you believe that it is not a possibility for you.
We remain in the powerful energy of last night's Super New Moon, yet today, and so utilize that energy in carrying you forward by choosing to have FAITH.  Faith is the underlying element of any endeavor, and of all our manifestations. To quote the song lyrics of Limp Bizkit:  "I gotta have faith, faith, faith!"  Let THAT be your mantra today!
Blessed be...

Worthy ~ Super New Moon!


This is your reading for Wednesday, February 18th/15---and today is Super New Moon! 
Your card shot out of the fractal art 'Return of Spirit' deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. How appropriate that your card is 'Worthy', on this Super New Moon day!  Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"You are one of the loving spirits who has come to be in service to humanity this life time. This strong desire and need to give to your fellow man is embedded deep within your soul's blueprint.  You play an important role in the cosmic plan.  This card has come to you today as Spirit's way of giving you a much needed reminder---that you hold a great worth and value.  
You can no longer question whether you are worthy or if you have value in this world.  We all look to our physical world for confirmation.  We question whether we are good enough, wanted, and needed.  We want the world to tell us that we are doing well and that it wants what we have to offer. But your value and worth cannot come from anyone or anything outside of you.
Just as you are, right now in this moment---you are enough.  It is time for you to begin to understand you own worth and value.  Spirit is asking that you start now, to understand just how important you are.  Begin by asking yourself:  How much would you value someone who was as kind to you, as you are to others?  If you met a person whose inner heart was as caring and loving as yours, would you value them in your life?  If someone gave to you, as you give to others, would you value it?  Of course you would.
You need to see yourself.  See just how valuable you really are.  Your worth does not come from what you do or how you behave.  Your worth comes from the fact that you are part of the God-Source.  Once you fully realize this, you will play an invaluable role in helping others to discover their own worth too."

My message for you is this:
Super Moon' denotes that the Moon is at it's closest approach to the Earth for the month, in conjunction with the Moon being Full or New.  This is NOT a common cosmic occurrence, and the fact that we will be experiencing 3 Super New Moons in this 'conscious action year' of 2015 is significant!  While the energy and impact of New Moons is generally that of 'manifestation' and focusing upon what it is that you wish to 'pull into' your life experience; each New Moon also holds it's own unique energies, as influenced by the surrounding cosmic energies at the time.  As Elizabeth Peru, of DeltaWaves states:
"This New Moon is asking for a RE-SET ON A VERY PERSONAL AND YET GLOBAL LEVEL.  You will be breaking free, feeling independent and drawing forward the highest vision for your life.  Where in your life could you trust your instinct and create what you desire...Simply know that you are being asked to make big gestures right.  Follow through with what feels important for you."
The image of your card was photographed purposely today with 3 Rose Quartz hearts---the stone of unconditional Love; and with a Clear Quartz sphere---a stone of Light and a natural amplifier of the energies of crystals that it is in proximity with. The Divine wants you to know that you are WORTHY, simply by BEING.  Yet, so often we allow our struggles with worthiness to hold us back from seeking out and reaching for our greatest potential.  Trust me...every person on the face of the Earth---including those who have seemingly achieved great things---has had moments of feeling unworthy or having self-doubt.  Your message today is not to suggest that you will never again experience such feelings, but that you may no longer RESIDE in those feelings. The energy of this Super New Moon is offering you the opportunity to sit fully in your WORTHINESS---if only for today---and to allow yourself to experience how that feels for you.  You are being asked to 're-set' your vision of and for yourself and to embody the knowing that you ARE WORTHY. Not only are you worthy, but you are being called to action to follow through on those things that feel important to you.  In the future, when you encounter those moments of self-doubt and unworthiness, consciously acknowledge them and see them for what they are...an illusion.  To embrace and embody your WORTHINESS does not mean that you stand in EGO---quite the opposite.  When you embrace your worthiness, you honour the Divine who created you, just as you are.  
As you gaze upon the Super New Moon tonight, allow yourself to feel it's rays permeate and 'enlighten' you; and encourage you, in turn, to 'shine your Light' as the Divine intended you to.
Blessed be...

Messenger of Action


HAPPY FAMILY DAY!  This is your card reading for Monday, February 16th/15.  Your card today is from the 'Guardian Angel Tarot Cards' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine.  Your card is the minor arcana card, 'Messenger of Action'.  Doreen & Radleigh's message for the card is this:
"Something new and exciting related to creativity or your career comes to your attention. You feel an eagerness to learn, and you're ready to get going, although you may feel insecure.  Do it anyway!  This card represents someone in your life (or maybe, YOU) who is creative, enthusiastic, and fascinated by life, and who wants to try everything.
SITUATIONS:  Something new and exciting has caught your attention.  Now it's all you can think about.  Your passions are fired up, and you can't wait to learn all there is to know about this topic.  New information regarding your favorite project or subject has just come to your attention.  You want to take action, but you're a little unsure if you're ready.  Have no fear---you're totally ready to go, and you shouldn't delay a single day.
PEOPLE:  Someone who shows no end to his or her creativity and enthusiasm.  A person who loves to study new things, especially of an artistic or athletic nature.  Someone for whom the world is so full of amazing things that it may be difficult for him or her to stay focused.  Happy to be alive.  Fascinated by life.  Extremely talented.  Game to try everything, although sometimes lacking in self-confidence.  Easily distracted.
ADDITIONAL MEANINGS OF THIS CARD:  Career-related information or messages. Wanting to try something new.  Creative writing."

My message for you today is this:
So, I have stated many times that I see 2015 as the year of 'conscious action'.  I KNOW that you have been feeling the energy of that in some way in your life!  Your Guardian Angel is reminding you today of your own unique means of making a contribution to the World in which you live, and that it is time to take heart-centered action in that regard.
'Creativity' can be expressed in such a myriad of ways.  Drop any insecurities you may still carry about expressing yourself and just simply take steps toward manifesting your desires. What has you feeling 'fired up', if even mixed with a little trepidation?  Boldly follow that passion, and know that it is a guidepost leading you in a soulful direction.  In any endeavor, there is a time for reflection and planning and a time to take action---NOW is the time to take action!  Even baby steps will energetically 'get the ball rolling' and give you the confidence and self-assurance you need to continue moving forward.  Call upon your Guardian Angel(s) to support you, knowing that to witness you moving forward in such a passionate, creative way brings great satisfaction to the Divine! Take a courageous, excited step and wait to see what unfolds for you!
Blessed be...

CHECK OUT THIS SELENITE FROM MY TRIP TO THE TUCSON ROCK AND GEM SHOW!!!




I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THE SELENITE PIECES I HAVE TO SHARE WITH YOU!!!
Selenite is named for Selene, the Greek goddess of the Moon---so named because of its moon-like glow.  Selenite is such a beautiful, high-vibration crystal that draws Love and Light into any space it occupies.  It is a wonderful, protective, calming stone and is highly aligned with the Angelic Realm.
Selenite brings mental clarity; instills deep peace; quickly unblocks stagnant energy and is ideal for energetic cleansing and purification.  These energies that are inherent in Selenite make it ideal for use in healing wands.  Selenite wands are excellent to implement for Reiki sessions; massage; acupressure; reflexology; cutting etheric cords; and for scanning energetic and etheric fields.
Placing Selenite consciously in a space will impact the energy of that space. Specific pieces and formations of Selenite accentuate a space in various ways. Selenite lamps (skyscraper, twin-tower, polished and shaped); tea-lights and candle holders; towers (iceberg, spiral, obelisk, etc.); natural Selenite 'logs'; polished hearts, palm pieces and worry stones---all bless us in their own way when we implement them consciously.  Selenite is an excellent crystal to support us in 2015---the year of 'conscious action'!  Selenite also happens to be an aesthetically pleasing crystal that simply looks beautiful in a space!  I have numerous pieces placed around our home, and I love to gift this beautiful crystal to others!
I have some amazing Selenite for sale at very affordable prices!  Quantities are limited, so if you feel drawn to this incredible crystal, as I do, act quickly.
I will be posting more detailed photos of each item offered, so watch for that!
I will also be posting these photos on my website shortly, at: www.consciousconnectionswithlinda.com
Contact me by private messaging me on my Facebook page: Conscious Connections With Linda; by emailing me at consciousconnections12@gmail.com; or by calling me at (587) 329-7423.  Wholesale prices are available on most items...contact me for information on how to qualify for those prices.
Blessings to you!

It Is Safe For You to Love


This is your card reading for Friday, February 13th/15 (yes...Friday the 13th)!  As tomorrow will be Valentine's Day, I selected 'The Romance Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue for your reading today.  Your card is 'It Is Safe For You to Love', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Open your heart to give and receive the highest energy of all...
This card indicates that you're protecting your heart from hurt because of painful relationship experiences.  However, the angels can only bring as much romance as you'll allow inside.  If you have a shield around your heart, how is love to get in?  A closed heart repels the sensitive partner you're trying to attract.
Following your inner guidance will protect you and simultaneously allow you to feel loved and loving.  Trust your intuitive senses with respect to other people's trustworthiness, and open your heart to those who are kind and gentle.  Ask the angels to bring caring individuals (including a romantic partner) into your life, and they'll do so...provided that you listen and follow their guidance."

My message for you today is this:
The photo of your card today was taken with my Rose Quartz crystal singing bowl whose tone is that of the heart/high heart chakra. This amazing bowl resides in my sacred space and I play it prior to any consultations or teachings that I do, to bring in the energy of unconditional LOVE...the highest vibration of all!
Today's card does not only speak to romantic LOVE, but more importantly, to LOVE of SELF...and to your relationship with the Divine, which is pure unconditional LOVE.  We can get caught up in the thinking (which we have often been 'conditioned into') that we need to be WORTHY of Divine love. We believe that we must BE or DO our way to being deserving of being loved...NOT TRUE!  Just as a parent's love of their child is unconditional, so is the Divine's love of YOU.  Just by BEING, you are WORTHY!  Yet, we often unconsciously deny or block the receiving of this love.  Spirit is asking you to be open to it!  While it may seem to be an act of vulnerability to open your heart to the LOVE that the Divine holds for you, the opposite is true.  When you embrace the LOVE that has always been there for you, your life can change in ways you cannot imagine!  
Regardless of your current life circumstances, or the status of various relationships in your life experience at this time, take a few moments to sit quietly with yourself and focus upon your heart chakra.  Visualize your heart opening to receive an inflow of Divine LOVE, and feel the warmth and expansion.  Allow yourself to encapsulate this LOVE 'wholeheartedly' in the knowing that it is your God-given right to receive this.  It is from this place of LOVE and self-love that you will attract to you the people and relationships that will best serve you and nurture you.  It is from this place that you will authentically share the love that is within you. Whenever you drop into self-doubt about your worthiness, revisit this exercise (if only for a few moments), and allow yourself to embody the Love that awaits you, so that you can then express this LOVE out into the World.  
Blessed be...

Aurora



This is your card reading for Thursday, February 12th/15.  Your card today soared out of the 'Messages From Your Angels' deck (the very first deck I purchased, more than a decade ago), authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is 'Aurora' and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"You are flying high right now, which may threaten others.  But don't descend, because others will soon become inspired by your example...
Your intentions have created an upward trend in your life.  New opportunities are coming your way, and your inner and outer self radiates this positive growth.  You may worry that others will be jealous of your current and forthcoming success, so you will be sensitive about discussing your achievements.  You may also worry about the future, about where your new path is taking you.  You may wish for a guarantee of future success.
I am here to help you enjoy the present, and the process of your new venture.  Trust that each moment is taking care of itself.  God has always taken care of you, and He always will. Ask me to help you stay focused on the NOW, and to let go of the worry habit so that you can enjoy these gifts.  Gratitude is essential right now...to keep your flight at a high altitude."

My message for you today is this:
Wow!  I personally relate strongly to the message that has been brought forward today! You, too, may be feeling the 'purculation' of new and exciting happenings bubbling just below the surface in your life at this time.  You are aware that change is underfoot, and that you have been both consciously and unconsciously seeking and initiating that change.  You feel the underlying excitement as your Soul has been leading the way in this change---yet, there is also some trepidation about how it will all play out, exactly.  Your message today is to let go of the 'exactly' portion of the previous statement!  Allow yourself today, to reside in the energy of joyous anticipation and optimism...knowing that when you allow your Soul to lead the way and to guide you, the Universe rejoices and supports you, in ways that you may not anticipate or script if you tried!  Relax into the upward trend that you are experiencing and allow yourself to experience the elation of it!  Life is good and it is about to get even better, if you embrace the Universal energies being offered you at this time.  Regardless of your current life circumstances, you can sense and feel this impending progression. You KNOW that you are moving into a more Soul-filled way of being.  Call upon the beautiful angel, Aurora, who has presented for you today, to assist you with releasing any anxieties that may be holding you back. Just for today, set aside any residual concerns and allow yourself to BE and KNOW the absolute brilliance of who you are and who you are becoming!  SOAR!
Blessed be...

Power


This is your card reading for Tuesday, February 10th/15.  Your card shot out of the 'Return of Spirit' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  Your card is the 'Power' card, and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"The Power card rules the third chakra, the solar plexus chakra.  This is where we experience our own sense of personal power.  If you have drawn this card today, it is because Spirit is asking that you focus on your own sense of personal power---and claim it. Have you been hiding from your power or afraid to own it?  Have you been feeling powerless or fearing you aren't strong enough?  It's time to focus on your solar plexus, and start to build your sense of personal power.  
Sometimes there can be a drain from our solar plexus, because we are unintentionally corded to another person---most often in close relationships.  This energetic cord runs directly from our third chakra and attaches to the other person.  We unknowingly let others siphon off our power.  This can happen if we are enabling or trying to please someone.  It can also happen if we fear losing the love of that person or if we feel attacked in some way. It is time for you to look closely at why this has happened to you and to ask your guides and angels to assist you with cutting that cord.
This card also comes if we are in fear of claiming our power; of standing tall and showing the world exactly who we are.  Most often, we have had experiences in our early years where we personally witnessed the misuse of power or had someone attempt to diminish our own.
That was in the past though, and you know how power is not to be used.  You also know that not claiming your own power does not serve you.  It's time for you to claim YOU---to claim your life, and claim the fact that you are a powerful, incredible soul."

My message for you today is this:
Notice the light shining brightly in the photo taken of your card today.  Your Solar Plexus Chakra is the color of a beautiful yellow sun, and when you stand in your personal power you are literally a 'ray of sunshine' that illuminates the space you hold.  I have stated here innumerable times that to be self-empowered NEVER implies disempowering another!  To stand lovingly in your own authentic power actually encourages, motivates, and inspires others to strive for self-empowerment, also, because they witness the Light that can be shared.  Why do you feel drawn to certain people and literally feel 'uplifted' when you are in their presence?  What is it about that person or persons that is so compelling for you?  Have you, yourself, experienced others seeking out your company, or opinion, or advice---perhaps even a stranger in a store or some other public place?  I know you have.  They are responding to the Light that is emanating from you at that time.  You can consciously choose to be a 'ray of sunshine' as you move about your day.  Focus upon your Solar Plexus Chakra and strive to own your place of personal power.  You can do so from a loving place, and this is, in fact the most powerful energy there is...the energy of Love.  Notice how your day plays out for you---even in the minute little details of the day---when you choose to approach things from a loving place of power.
Blessed be...

Universal Law of Service


This is your card reading for Monday, February 9th/15.  Your card skimmed out of the fractal art 'Universal Laws of Conscious Creation' deck, authored by Lara Solara, Dana DaPonte and Marlene Chapman.  Your card is 'Universal Law of Service' and Lara, Dana & Marlene's message for the card is this: 
"The Law of Service states that serving the interests of the whole serves the interests of the individual as well.  You are part of something bigger than yourself.  Acknowledging your interconnectedness allows you to be in the service of all life.  When your intention is to serve others, you automatically align yourself with the Universe because you expand your awareness to include the interests of the whole.  This is one of the most powerful questions you can ask:  how can I serve?  No act of service is insignificant.  All positive actions ripple out into the Universe and affect the collective vibrations of humanity as a whole.  This card is guiding you to shift your perspective from asking what others can do for you to asking, instead, what you can do for others.  Take a look at the situations and circumstances in your life and ask yourself where you can find opportunities to be of greater service.  If there is something that you have been seeking but have not found, or if you are not sure what direction to take, it may be time to focus on service.  Remember, that the Universe is in perfect balance, and through service you will receive just what you need."

My message for you today is this:
I have a phrase posted on my bedroom mirror that states: 'Creator, how will you express yourself through me today?'  This is my way of striving to be of service.  The Creator sees in us potential and possibility that we often times don't see within ourselves, and so rather than attempt to 'script' exactly how I will serve, I simply open myself to be of service in whatever way Spirit deems would be of benefit on any given day.  At times, I have absolutely been lovingly pushed outside my 'comfort zone'---for example, the first time that I agreed to doing Akashic Records Readings at the Spiritual Farmer's Market at Vitality Crystals and Fountains.  If I told you the story of how this came to be, you would understand that it was Divinely ordered, regardless of my trepidation.  Yet, this definitely felt like an act of service that I was meant to undertake, and it was ultimately a very fulfilling experience for me, as well!  
When you are in service, you are expressing the Light within yourself out into the World, as only YOU can, and although you may not 'see' the overriding benefit, KNOW that you have impacted the collective in a significant way.  Even smiling in understanding and encouragement at the frustrated, disgruntled mother of a toddler in the grocery store line; or helping her to unload her cart of groceries at the till is a beautiful act of service.  This could change the trajectory of the rest of her day in ways you may not witness but are real all the same.  In the bigger scheme of things, you have your own individual talents and abilities that you incarnated with that you are meant to share for the greater good, as well.  Remember this:  your shining your Light only enhances the Universe, yet there may be those who are threatened by your Light and may attempt to dim it.  Shine your Light anyways!  Recognize that as long as you are coming from a heart-centered place of service, you are in the vibration of Love. 
Blessed be...
