No card reading Monday, October 31st/16...I have been happily busy with family time, including time spent with our grandson!
I wanted to share, while we are still 'in the Light' of yesterday's powerful Black New Moon, this quote with you... Take time to set your intentions, so that you can live your life on purpose!
Blessings to you,
Linda
(PS...Here's a picture of our little Ninja Turtle for Halloween today...his Daddy was also a Ninja Turtle for Halloween, when he was little! <3)
This is your card reading for Friday, October 28th/16. Your card slipped out of the 'Goddess Guidance' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is 'Ostara ~ Fertility', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"It is the perfect time for you to start new projects, access new ideas, and give birth to new conditions.
MESSAGE FROM OSTARA: Springtime is any time when the light increases within your mind and entire system. If you feel dark, heavy, or depressed, then you can lighten up by fueling yourself with positive intentions, nutritious foods, and anything that sparks your feelings of love. Surround yourself with beautiful flowers, brighten the colors in your wardrobe and home, and draw back the curtains to let in natural light. You can paint a sunnier outlook within yourself, which will give rise to all sorts of new opportunities, since like attracts like. Feel more energized and powerful as you spruce up your inner and outer worlds. Then capitalize on the increased vigor by starting a new project that really makes your heart sing with excitement!
ABOUT OSTARA (pronounced Oh-STAR-uh): She's the Teutonic goddess of fertility and springtime, who's sometimes called 'Eostre'. The words 'East' and 'Easter' were both named after Ostara, because of the reference to the sun rising in the east, and the increase in sunlight beginning in the Celtic springtime. She's celebrated during the spring equinox as the bringer of increased light and the balance between nighttime and daytime hours. Call upon Ostara to increase your fruitfulness, fertility, or to help you embark on new ventures."
My message for you today is this:
I feel that the goddess Ostara is presenting for you today because we are headed into the Black New Moon on Sunday, October 30th/16. As the goddess of fertility and increased 'light', her energies align with the energies offered by this Black New Moon (being the second New Moon to occur in a month). New Moons typically hold the vibration of manifestation and 'new' beginnings, while Full Moons are about releasement.
And each New or Full Moon then holds it's own unique 'themes' according to the current cosmic alignments. While I have no personal understanding of the cosmic 'workings'; being extremely sensitive to energy all of my life, I absolutely 'feel' the effects of prevailing cosmic energies. Some people are particularly sensitive to the lunar (moon) energies...maybe you are one of those people. I am grateful to those who share their understanding of the prevailing cosmic energies to help us to utilize these energies and to better navigate our way consciously through the energies. According to Gregory Scott Astrology, the Black New Moon this upcoming Sunday is ". . .powerful, it's transformative, and it's potentially life changing. . ." Gregory says that a New Moon is a great time to ". . .plant seeds of intention, to look at what you want to achieve in the next 30 days, and to rest and become reflective, and to look at what's ahead. . ." Gregory shares that this particular Black New Moon is even more intense in that regard, and that it holds the energy of going even deeper and long term with your intentions at this time... He also states that we are in a highly creative time, with this Black Moon. He advises that we use this time of the Black New Moon to move forward with our life in many ways; it is a time of deeply letting go of something that has long been holding you back and making room for the new to come in, especially by setting INTENTIONS (and you MUST know by now how I feel about the power of intention)!
This is where the goddess Ostara and her theme of 'fertility' come into play, and why her presenting for you today is so synchronistic. Call upon Ostara to be with you in the energies of this intense Black New Moon this weekend in setting those intentions and in drawing to yourself at this highly fertile time, the abundance and richness that awaits you in all aspects of your life experience. Due to the intensity of the cosmic energies of this particular Black New Moon, you may experience some strong emotions periodically over the next few days. Do your best to recognize what is at the root of these emotions, and use your emotions as guideposts that mark the path you are now meant to take. It is no accident that your cards this week were 'Universal Law of Awareness', 'Footprints' and 'Journey'! Utilize the energies being offered you at this time! The goddess Ostara offers her support and encouragement, so call upon her!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Thursday, October 27th/16. Your card today gently revealed itself from the 'Crystal Ally Cards' deck, authored by Naisha Ahsian. Your card is 'Sodalite ~ Journey', and Naisha's message for the card is this:
"Sodalite is signalling you to begin a journey. It is time to take stock of where you have been, where your choices have led you, and where you want to go. Then, set foot upon the path and begin to move forward toward your new experiences. Exploration and adventure are crucial to one's inner work. Explore your interests and intuition, and go where they lead. Sodalite is signalling you to a new and exciting phase of your life.
This Ally also reminds us that in order to know where we are going, we must know where we are. Perhaps you have been past or future tripping so much that you have forgotten where you are on your journey right now. Sodalite is reminding you to take note of the landmarks around you. Explore and experience this place that you have come to on your journey. Honor yourself for all you have created.
What are the patterns, beliefs, and desires that you are living with at the moment? These are road signs along your path that indicate what may be coming. Are you headed in the direction you want to be going? Only you can decide where your journey takes you, and in each moment you can choose to continue the path you are treading, or change your course. . .Each moment, each step on the journey, we have an opportunity to create ourselves as the person we truly want to be. Choose a direction, and allow Sodalite to guide you down the proper path. Sodalite also reminds us that we are on a larger journey as well. It is not only the courses of of our own life that we are pursuing. By choosing to be born into this time, we are also choosing to affect the total journey of humanity.
CHAKRA: Sixth (Third Eye)
AFFIRMATION: I allow my inner voice to guide me on my path."
My message for you today is this:
How beautifully synchronistic that your card yesterday was 'Footprints' and then your card today is 'Journey'! Love it when Spirit presents us with a clear theme for the messages of the week! The arms of the angel in the photo for your card today are draped with a Sodalite multi-strand bracelet that I own. Perhaps you have a piece of Sodalite that you could wear or have with you today as a reminder that your life experience here on Earth is a journey, and that we are meant to experience and learn as we travel the Earthly plane. Even if you don't have a piece of Sodalite crystal in your physical presence, you can still call upon the energies offered you today by this beautiful crystal Ally.
When you choose to walk your path consciously, understanding that you are the co-creator of your experience, you will likely feel greater satisfaction with the footprint that you leave.
This does not imply that you stand in judgment of yourself for where your path may have led to in the past...the energy of Sodalite being offered you today is about honouring yourself and the learnings. Sodalite shares with us the vibration that we are on a journey of self-discovery. Sodalite also aligns with the vibration of the Third Eye chakra, and so you are being reminded to trust in the guidance you receive in best navigating your way through your life. Every single one of us has ignored what our intuition was saying to us at one time or another in our lives and have then regretted doing so. No self-judgment about that, either! Instead, use those instances as having illustrated for you that it is important to trust in your intuitive guidance. Sodalite is a crystal that is so supportive in this! I share with you this popular quote:
"Life is a journey, not a destination." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
Blessed be...
My apologies for not posting your card reading yesterday (Oct. 25th)...my day was a full one (in a good way)! Included in that was attending an evening event in downtown Calgary with Lee Harris---energy intuitive and channeller---accompanied by my dear friend, Cheryl. Wowza! So grateful for the synchronistic way that this event happened for us, and for the opportunity to share it with my Soul Sista! DEFINITELY want to spend more time in the presence of this gifted teacher! Excited to read his books, now...'Energy Speaks' and 'Energy Speaks - Volume 2'! Feeling blessed!
This is your card reading for Wednesday, October 25th/16. Your card sprung out of the 'Path of the Soul' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. Your card is 'Footprints', and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"You have beautiful intentions of doing well in this world and having a lasting and positive effect on the planet. This was a part of the Divine plan you created for yourself before you came here. Those inner aspirations you feel and the daydreams associated with them are the whisperings of your Soul calling you to your purpose. This is all part of your journey. The time has come to take the steps necessary to set this dream in motion."
My message for you today is this:
Absolutely NO COINCIDENCE that part of what Lee Harris spoke about last night was the power of INTENTION (anyone who knows me at all knows about my core belief in the power of intention); and how we can best bring our visions and dreams for ourselves into form by first WRITING THEM DOWN, which brings them from the etheric vibrational plane into the 3D world that we reside in. I personally refer to the process of using the written word to create an affirmation or declaration of our dreams and visions as 'anchoring it in', and you will have heard me use this phrase frequently if you have taken classes with me! The power of the written word already came up for you in your reading on Monday, and that is no 'accident' either!
We are in a powerful time of manifestation currently, wherein what we 'call in' manifests more readily than usual. So, utilize this prevailing energy to CONSCIOUSLY reflect upon the FOOTPRINT that you wish to make during your time here on Earth. Write down specifically what it is that you wish to draw into your experience in the form of an affirmation or declaration...you may even use a quote that you have come across that reflects what you desire, as was shared in your Monday reading. Doing so sets your INTENTION, and--as Lee shared with us--it can also shift your own energetic vibration. By shifting your own energetic vibration around a certain desired outcome, you can then become a vibrational match for it, thereby drawing it to you. Yet, you must surrender as to 'exactly how' it will be drawn to you...the Universe and the Divine have a far more omnipotent viewpoint of what is in our best interest! Take the steps presented to you, understanding the footprint that each step will make... Follow your heart!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Monday, October 24th/16. Your card today spun out of the 'Universal Laws of Conscious Creation' fractal art deck, authored by Lara Solara, Dana Da Ponte, and Marlene Chapman. Your card is 'Universal Law of Awareness', and the author's message for the card is this:
"The Law of Awareness states that you are able to make conscious use of your inner power only to the extent you are aware that this power exists. Individuals become aware of their innate inner power first by recognizing the source of that power: the infinite nature of self. You are the infinite experiencing individuality, but as a human being you are unique among all other creations on Earth because you have the ability to be conscious of your infinite nature. When your awareness is focused entirely on your individuality, and you neglect to align yourself with your connectedness to all life, your power appears limited. When you expand your awareness to account for the essence of you really are, your power is limitless. You are not just an individual: you are the infinite life force expressing individualization. Concentrate on the unlimited possibilities that are available to you because you are one with all existence. The Law of Awareness encourages you to become aware of who and what you really are because you will experience your true power in direct proportion to your knowledge of your limitless nature."
My message for you today is this:
Yes...I am a lover of quotes! I truly believe in the power of the WORD to inspire, comfort, support; and even to hurt! I have collected quotes that have moved me ever since I can remember...and you will often see various quotes posted around my home, pertaining to what ever happens to be occurring in my life at the time. This quote seemed to be appropriate for your message today:
"Individually, we are one drop. Together we are an ocean." ~Ryunosuke Satoro~
You are--beyond a doubt--a unique expression of the Divine. Yet, you are 'an expression of the Divine', just as all other aspects of CREATION are! We have honestly matured (and are continuing to mature) to where we CAN embrace the knowing that--on the deepest level--we are all ONE, and are expressions of that Source. Rather than being LIMITING, this knowing is so EXPANSIVE in regards to your potential and possibility!
You are being called right now to see that you have the ability to be so much more than you thought possible...think BIG! Think of the power of the ocean! You are apart of that field of infinite potential and your 'soul purpose' is to be an expression source as only you can.
Strive to be aware of all that is being offered to you in terms of opportunities to move into the fullest expression of yourself. Know that sometimes these opportunities may appear as 'challenge's; but that these challenges are serving you. They are causing you---from your place of awareness---to become clear about where you are meant to place your energies.
Be open and aware to moments of inspiration and clarity, for they are coming at you powerfully at this time!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Friday, October 21st/16. Your card today shot out out of the 'Spirit Messages' oracle deck authored by John Holland. Your card is 'Listen', and John's message for the card is this:
"You have to be willing to listen if you want to really understand someone. Now is not the time to be offering advice, but to be a compassionate listener. To listen fully and intently means to pay attention, not just to what's being said, but to what lies beneath the words.
We've heard and listened to your requests in the past, so we're bringing this card to you because someone around you needs to be heard now! They're not seeking advice, but they really need to express themselves about how they're feeling and what's going on in their life. What they're seeking is an open, compassionate and non-judgmental listener.
When you're intently engaged in conversation, there's an even energy exchange where both parties can benefit. Those who are talking express what they're feeling, and just by the process of talking, they will often solve the problem or issue by themselves. Being present and listening to someone who needs your full attention will, in some cases, bring you the answers that you've been seeking for yourself."
My message for you today is this:
Perhaps there is indeed someone in your life at this time who needs to have you take on the role of compassionate listener for them. Or perhaps you require this of someone in your life at this time. I love this quote, and it is so applicable to your message today:
"LISTEN and SILENT are spelled with the same letters." ~Alfred Brendel~
Your message today may also be in reference to your current need to place yourself in a state of active 'listening' in order to receive the messages that Spirit is striving to bring to you at this time. As we are in the energy peak of the annual Orionids Meteor Shower, the veil is thin, and you are more readily able to access and receive messages from your Spiritual Advisors; including your Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels. Take advantage of these energies and consciously LISTEN.
The psychic sense of clairaudience (meaning 'clear hearing') can manifest in a variety of ways to bring us messages from Spirit. Some ways to receive messages through clairaudience are:
~Hearing a song, or part of a song repeatedly, either on the tv or radio or 'in your head', or seeing the lyrics presented somehow. Whenever the lyrics to the song, "I love you a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck..." run through my mind, I know it is my deceased Mom making her presence known to me. This is a song that she sang to me as a child, and also to her grandchildren. Once, when I was in deep distress after receiving a phone call with upsetting news from my son, I walked into a home decor store which was FILLED to the rafters with decor. Yet, what instantly drew my attention when I walked in the doors was a sign that read, "I love you a bushel & a peck & a hug around the neck"! I KNEW that that was my Mom letting me know that everything would be ok, in the way that only a Mom can...and I bought that sign then and there, while giving silent thanks to my Mom for the gift of that message from her, when I most needed it!
~Overhearing a conversation between people who are strangers to you, and yet it feels as though what they are saying is exactly what you needed to hear. (This often happens when you are waiting in check-out lines, or are on public transit, etc.)
~When you 'randomly' turn on the tv or radio and the words being said 'speak' to you in regards to something you have been asking for guidance about. You have the feeling of,
'I really needed to hear that right now!'
~The phone or doorbell ring, and 'no one' is there. This happens occasionally at our home on the farm, and our family always responds with "Hi Opa!" My husband's Dad always loved to play a specialty horn he had installed in his vehicle to announce his arrival whenever he came over; so we just 'know' that Opa now uses the phone and doorbell in our home to make his presence known to us when he 'visits'. (We have a very long driveway and there is NO WAY that someone could ring the doorbell and then make it out of the yard before we get to the door!)
~Ringing in your ear. This can serve as confirmation...if your ear rings while you are receiving guidance, it is confirmation that you ARE meant to 'hear' this guidance. Ringing in your ear may also be incoming messages from the higher vibration of Spirit. Don't get caught up in 'decyphering' what the ringing means; but rather give thanks for the incoming message and know that it will 'come to you' later, often in the form of an 'aha' moment!
These are but a few ways in which to receive messages from Spirit through 'listening'.
You are being advised--in whatever capacity applies to you in your life at this moment--to be an ACTIVE LISTENER. Pay attention: be RECEPTIVE, rather than EXPRESSIVE at this time.
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Thursday, October 20th/16. Your card dropped out of the 'Gaia' oracle deck authored by Toni Carmine Salerno. Your card is 'Apprehension ~ Moving out into the world, Doubt, Fear', and Toni's message for the card is this:
"It's time to get going. There is nothing to fear. Take the first step--just do it--and you will find that all will work out for you. The longer you procrastinate, the harder it will be. It's understandable that you feel unsure of yourself; the first step is always the hardest. You have much to offer and you will realize this as you move out into the world. Be brave. Even if you initially make mistakes, you will be well received. Treat every day as a learning experience. As your confidence increases, so too will your self-esteem and success.
You are a sincere and beautiful person, do not doubt yourself.
AFFIRMATION:
I surrender my fear and replace it with love
I surrender my doubt and replace it with confidence
I see myself moving out into the world with ease
I give thanks for all I learn and experience
Each new day is full of possibility."
My message for you today is this:
Today's message really speaks to me personally, as I have recently stepped back into working on the oracle card deck I will be publishing. While I had been in judgment of myself for not moving forward with it these past MANY months; I now see that the hiatus was necessary so that I could look at all that I had written to this point with 'fresh eyes'. I must share that I am honestly so excited with what I have completed thus far! To compose and publish can be very daunting, and I can see that I allowed myself to be overwhelmed by the whole publishing process, for one thing! I understand now that there were experiences that I needed to have before I was ready to move forward...Divine timing!
Perhaps you have a heart-centered project, or a life change that you are reticent about moving forward with at this time. For some of you, this message will be in regards to a relationship issue that requires some sort of action on your part in order to bring yourself peace about it. Whatever the particular issue that comes to mind for you, you are being advised today that some level of apprehension about this is absolutely normal! Yet, if below the apprehension, you hold a KNOWING that you are meant to take action anyways, then stop procrastinating about it and take action! When you make the conscious decision to move forward with something, despite feeling some anxiety about it, you will find that the Universe will conspire to support you in doing so. Choose to see the potential and possibilities, rather than the roadblocks. Pay attention to the circumstances being presented to you that will give you the opportunity to take that step forward. Do not allow your apprehension to hold you back from taking that step and the steps that will then follow!
Recite to yourself, "I am courage". Know that you are meant to learn and grow along the way and that there is no such thing as 'the perfect path'. There are no 'mistakes', only 'learning experiences'---let this knowledge seep in and relieve your apprehension that you might possibly make a 'mistake'. Let this quote be your mantra for today:
"Remember there are no mistakes, only lessons.
Love yourself, trust your choices, and everything is possible."
~Cherie Carter-Scott~
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Wednesday, October 19th/16. Your card spun out of the 'Healing With The Angels' card deck, the first angel oracle card deck that Doreen Virtue ever published, in 1999! Your card is 'Blessings', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"CARD MEANING: God and the angels are helping you right now. Continue to ask for their help, and then accept it when it comes (and it always does).
ADDITIONAL MESSAGE: The angels want you to know that you have extra blessings around you right now. Perhaps you have recently experienced some challenges, or maybe you are currently asking for extra help. Either way, the angels surround you now with more Divine love than ever. Additional angels are with you, giving you an added cushion of love and light.
Sometimes you may feel as if God and the angels have abandoned you. This card seeks to remind you that they are not gone and that they CANNOT leave you ever. It is only our fear that makes us blind and mute to the presence of our angels. Yet your angels can lift away your fears if you will ask and then let them. You are truly blessed and very, very loved by God and the angels."
My message for you today is this:
You have certainly been receiving messages of support of late! This does not necessarily mean that you are currently experiencing challenging life circumstances, although you may be. This may simply serve to remind you of the connection that you have with your Spiritual Advisors and that it is important to utilize them in your life. We have been, and continue to be, in some intense energies. These energies are urging you to embrace your worthiness and to be the fullest expression of WHO you came here to be. Likely, you HAVE been experiencing some life-altering events that have been moving you in the right direction (even if it may not always seem so!). In times of strife AND in times of triumph, it is important to acknowledge the Divine influence in our lives and the support made available to us. Pay keen attention to your inner voice...you are in a powerful place of receiving messages at this time. The veil is thin. How have you been experiencing your Spirit Guides, Guardian Angels, and the Angelic Realm? Perhaps it is a simple as having the inner knowing that 'all is well' despite current extenuating circumstances. Or perhaps you have witnessed clear signs (such as number sequences, feathers, coins, orbs in photographs, seeing sparkles or flashes of light, angel clouds, lights flashing on and off 'inexplicably', etc.). Just KNOW that your team is with you...they NEVER leave you! Continue to encourage their ACTIVE presence in your life by being open and aware, and expressing gratitude. Recall that we humans have free will, and the Spirit world cannot intervene in our lives without our consent, as they are governed by the Law of Free Will. So, you must ask to commune with them. Your request can be as simple as 'Help!', or you can invoke their presence through prayer and meditation. There is no wrong or right way---it is all about having the intention to do so. It is your Spiritual Advisor's mission to be of support to you as you walk your Earthly path. They WANT to commune with us, and it is we who block their communication. Choose now to be open and receptive. You are SO loved!
Blessed be...
(Isn't this amazing photo a perfect example of the Divine making itself evident to us? I call this a BLESSING! <3)
This is your card reading for Tuesday, October 18th/16. Your card today shot out of the 'Archangel' oracle card deck authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is 'All Is Well ~ Archangel Jeremiel', 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!
WORKING WITH ARCHANGEL JEREMIEL: Each archangel has a specific aura color. Jeremiel's is deep eggplant purple. When you see sparkles of dark purple light, this is one way to know that Jeremiel is with you. Each archangel has a particular type of crystal aligned with their energy, and for Jeremiel, that crystal is the amethyst. When you wear an amethyst you may feel even closer to Jeremiel's kind and loving energy."
My message for you today is this:
You have received so many messages along this same line, of late! Clearly, the Divine wishes you to really 'get' this message! Change is inevitable, as life just does not remain stagnant; but we are currently experiencing an accelerated tempo of change. This is going to continue for the next while, and the best that we can do is to first know that this change is for our greater good--no matter how 'uncomfortable' some aspects of it may feel, at times. We can also call upon the support that is made available to us by the Divine in moving through this time of transformation with greater ease and grace. Archangel Jeremiel, whose name means 'mercy of God', has stepped forward for you today to bring the vibration of 'harmony' to all that is transpiring in your life experience. That is this Archangel's vibration, and specialty. I personally also refer to the crystal, Amethyst, as the 'harmony' stone, because of the energy that it shares with us. No coincidence, then, that Doreen finds that the Amethyst crystal aligns energetically with Archangel Jeremiel's energy. You are being advised today to hold the knowing that 'all is well' firmly in your heart; and from that stance to follow the guidance being given to you by your Spiritual Advisors. Call upon Archangel Jeremiel to be with you also, at this time of powerful transformation and evolution. Recall that the Archangels have the ability to bi-locate, and can be with multiple Souls simultaneously; so you are not taking Jeremiel away from another, by calling her to you.
Today may feel like a 'cocooning' day for you, where---despite where you are physically---you feel very introverted and 'internal', and as though it is challenging to be fully engaged in the world and what is happening around you. Allow yourself to 'go with this', and do not attempt to pressure yourself into interacting if you don't have to. Archangel Jeremiel is wrapping you in her calming energy. Allow yourself the quietness you may crave today, and take some time to 'rest in the stillness of your breath' (I LOVE this phrase, shared with me years ago by my yoga instructor!). The impending change need not be feared, but rather welcomed...in truth your Soul has been 'working' toward this, and you are so supported!
All is well...
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Monday, October 17th/16, the day following that intense Super Full Moon! Your card today slipped out of the 'Path of the Soul' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. Your card is 'Rebirth', and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"Now is the time for quiet retreat and rest. It is a wonderful opportunity to nourish your heart, mind and soul. The Universal Mother has taken you into her womb in preparation for a rebirth. You are being called to rediscover yourself. Take a clear evaluation of your life, relationships and your own self worth. Take time away in solitude. During this time of reflection, you may notice things that no longer serve you simply fall away. Things will change during this powerful process. It's OK. Everything is exactly how it should be."
My message for you is this:
WOW! This is the PERFECT card to present for you in the prevailing energies! I have said here many times that energy is in FLOW, and therefore we feel the energies of New and Full Moons on either side of the day that they actually occur. We remain today in the residing energy of yesterday's Super Full Moon, and what a powerful catalyst for change it was!
Know that the birthing process requires an element of 'letting go'. When in the physical act of giving birth there is the parallel action of 'pushing' and 'letting go' simultaneously. Such a powerful dynamic! No wonder giving birth has such a sacred feel to it; when such supposedly 'opposing' actions (as pushing and letting go) actually compliment one another in the creation of something that is miraculous!
Having been so supported in the energies of Super Full Moon and the other cosmic influences yesterday in RELEASING what no longer serves our highest and greatest good, we are now inviting in that which WILL serve us in this way. This means that you will likely be experiencing some profound change happening in your life over the next while...a 'rebirth' of sorts, as Cheryl Lee puts it. Know that this will not occur without some 'birthing pains', and that your role is to continue with the birthing process regardless, knowing that, as Cheryl Lee shares: "It's OK. Everything is exactly as it should be." When the physical process of giving birth has begun for a woman, for example, she cannot decide part way in that she doesn't want to continue with it (although many have expressed that while in childbirth, for sure)! What she CAN do is turn to the assistance and support that is available to her to give birth. And so it is for you. Your Guides and Guardian Angels---your entire Spiritual 'Team', in fact---are there to support you through this time of transition, and their omnipotent vision allows them to see that all is occurring for your greater good. Yet, you must ASK for their assistance due to the Universal Law of Free Will. This is a beautiful movement forward for you. In truth, we are actually rebirthing as a collective, although that may not seem evident in all that is occurring on the world stage---part of the 'birthing pains' alluded to earlier. Today, step courageously into your own self worth. You are moving toward the authentic expression of WHO you came here to be.
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Friday, October 14th/16. Your card today skimmed out of the 'Gaia Oracle' card deck, authored by Toni Carmine Salerno. Your card is SO aptly 'Moonlight Goddess', on this day leading up to the Super Full Moon this upcoming Sunday!
Toni's message for the card is this:
"~Repressed Emotions, Healing, Reflection~
The Moonlight Angel depicted on this card is here to reflect back to you the repressed emotions you have stored inside you. She is here to heal you through your dreams. But in order for this healing to take place, you must pour out your heart and express how you truly feel. Do this for yourself and for others. Remember that all that you repress not only affects you, it also affects those around you, especially those you love the most. It is safe to acknowledge your feelings, it is alright to cry---just surrender and let it all go. You are surrounded by love and healing energies of the Goddess. You are externally loved and eternally protected. In the coming month, you will reflect on the past, you will give thanks and let go of old hurts and disappointments. Only the loving memories you will keep inside your heart. Then, once the chambers of your heart are yet again full of light, a new season begins---a new journey, a new joy, a new passion!
AFFIRMATION:
I give thanks for the healing
that is taking place now in my life
I express all I feel honestly and lovingly,
without fear or apprehension
I am safe---I am loved
I am one with the Goddess
I am one with the Earth and all creation."
My message for you today is this:
This is an EXCELLENT card and message to present for you as we head into a very powerful Super Full Moon on Sunday, October 16th. You may very well be thinking as you read the message above, 'WHAT??? MORE RELEASING? REALLY?!?' It is certain that we have done A LOT of releasing in 2016---the 'year of completion', numeroligically speaking.
Being advised to be open to releasing, yet again, in no way implies that you haven't been making movement forward! Your messages this past week have indeed indicated that you have been moving ever closer toward your desired goals. We are now clearing at the DEEPEST levels. Remember that I have stated here previously that energy is not 'clap on/clap off'---energy is in FLOW. Therefore we feel the New Moon and Full Moon energies on either side of the day that they actually occur, and this Full Moon is a particularly intense one, being the first of 3 consecutive Super Full Moons to close out 2016 (a Super Full Moon occurs when the Earth is at it's closest monthly proximity to the Earth at the same time as it is Full, which means that we feel the energies more intensely here on Earth). We ourselves are energetic beings who are always in a state of evolving, and so we will never be totally 'done' with releasing...it is part of the pattern of our evolution and growth. Yet, each and every time that we DO consciously release, we absolutely make room for more Light and we increase our vibration and thereby our potentiality for authentic expression of WHO we came here to be.
I SO appreciate Toni's message above: "Remember that all you repress not only affects you, it also affects those around you, especially those you love the most." This is so very true, and something that we rarely think of! We often assume that 'working on ourselves', and taking care of ourselves is a 'selfish' act. The perspective that Toni shares about this is the actual Truth of it---those we love are absolutely positively impacted also, when we strive to be the best version of ourselves! If you take on no other part of the message today, please receive this and know it to be true!
I encourage you to acknowledge any residual pain and hurt that may present for you over these next few days, and to consciously release it---perhaps in some form of ceremony, if that feels right for you. I know that I will personally be taking part in a releasement ceremony on Sunday, as the energies of the Super Full Moon will support and encourage my releasement. Honour yourself by giving yourself some time in solitude, when you can.
You are preparing for, and 'making room for' some wonderful things to come into your life!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Wednesday, October 12th/16. Your card slid to the floor out of the 'Wisdom of the Oracle' card deck, authored by Colette Baron-Reid. Your card is 'Time to Go', and Colette's message for the card is this:
"ESSENTIAL MEANINGS: Endings; completion; walking away from something because there is nothing else to learn or experience.
THE ORACLE'S MESSAGE: You are at the end of one journey and have not yet begun the next. This is the moment to bless your experience thus far. Take stock of what you've learned. It's time to move on to new experiences and a new way of being. There is nothing left for you to do, be, or experience in your present circumstances. Take the risk and move on even if you need to be in transition for a time. Your destiny is calling you.
PROTECTION MESSAGE: Even if it appears that you've reached the end of the line and all is lost, it isn't. You're in a situation that will resurface again later, so consider this a break rather than an ending. Destiny is in charge here. You lose nothing and gain everything when you surrender to that fact. Your soul knows that your Destiny is unfolding with perfect timing and synchronicity. Your small self has doubts, but that is natural, as IT doesn't have the map of your destiny---the SOUL does! Spirit loves you. Trust that."
My message for you today is this:
When this card dropped out of the deck and I picked it up, I had the distinct impression that the woman pictured on the card was moving TOWARD something more powerfully than she was moving AWAY from something. The energy is very much about forward momentum; rather than in giving time and attention to what is in the rearview mirror, so to speak. It holds a very optimistic energy to me, as though the 'releasing' aspect of something has come to completion and you are now in the process of moving toward the new door that awaits being opened. She is also appears to be 'floating' down the wooden pathway to the door in the picture on the card. This implies that you need to 'surrender' somewhat and allow yourself to be carried by the prevailing energies that are guiding you toward the 'next best step' for you. It may feel at times as though you are indeed 'floating' and that you are not 'grounded'. Yet you must trust that all is happening according to plan and that your primary role at this time is to trust and take guided action, even if doing so sometimes feels vulnerable and 'scary'. You will KNOW, amidst your fear, that what you are doing feels 'right' all the same...it will sit well in your heart. Do not resist when 'well laid plans' take a detour and you are presented with a whole new scenario. What may APPEAR to be a roadblock is actually steering you back in the right direction. Spirit's 'got your back'! Know this to be true!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Tuesday, October 11th/16. Your card flipped to reveal itself within the 'Energy Oracle' card deck, authored by Sandra Anne Taylor, as I was shuffling. Your card is 'Contract', and Sandra's message for the card is this:
"~Partnership, Legal Commitment~
This card shows a contract in the background, ready to be signed, indicating a committed connection of some sort. This union may be a business deal, the sale of a home, a new job, or even a commitment in marriage. Whatever the connection, this card is more than a casual agreement. It's usually something that requires a document that's binding--at least for the time being.
The scales of justice also indicate that if a legal action is underway, it is likely to turn out in your favour. This card shines a light on potential new opportunities, so remain aware and receptive to what may be coming your way.
AFFIRMATION: I am attracting wonderful, beneficial connections that support and honour me and bring me great happiness and abundance."
My message for you today is this:
It is key that you ensure that any partnerships or alliances that you engage in at this time feel in alignment with you vibrationally. First and foremost, you must be aware and responsible for your own personal VIBRATION...for the energy that you are bringing to what matters to you (and what most 'matters' to you now is whatever it is that 'pops' into your mind as you read this message...whether that be relationship, career, lifestyle or health).
'Like attracts like' and that is SO TRUE energetically and vibrationally! Perhaps you need to adjust or lift your own vibration, in order to attract what it is that you desire. We are indeed vibrational beings, and you CAN shift your vibration in a number of ways. The primary and most efficient means of shifting your vibration is through the breath. Why do you think that when you are experiencing some intense emotion, you are often advised 'to breathe'? It isn't as though you WEREN'T actually breathing, but you are being advised to breathe CONSCIOUSLY and to utilize your breath to calm or center or focus yourself.
Trust and know that you are worthy of the union, partnership, or opportunities that will best serve you being drawn to and presented to you. Focus upon all the good that is coming your way, and employ an 'attitude of gratitude', even if what you desire 'seems' as though it has not manifested yet. Then trust in your inner guidance and 'gut feelings' about what feels in alignment or not. Doors are opening for you right now. Pay attention and choose with intention, courage, conviction, and faith the door that you will walk through at this time, knowing that your guidance is steering you in the right direction.
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Friday, October 7th/16. Your card shot out of the 'Divine Guidance' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. Your card is 'Rewards', and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"We have lift off! Energetically and physically, things are about to take-off in your world. Hold on to your hat. All your hard work is about to pay off. Whatever your venture is right now, there is a great movement coming. Things are about to sky-rocket for you. Good things do come and this is your time to enjoy them. You have done the work, now it is time to reap the rewards. Congratulations!"
My message for you today is this:
One of my core beliefs is that there is no such thing as 'coincidence'---only synchronicity. And as I was typing up Cheryl Lee's message for your card today, I realized how synchronistic it was that I was guided to choose the quote that I shared with you yesterday:
"The bridge that you still don't see will be visible once you start walking with courage and determination towards it." ~Roxana Jones~
Many times in our lives, the Universe is conspiring in our favour energetically, even before what we desire has come into physical manifestation for us to witness. As I lay my hand upon the Rewards fractal art card, I could literally feel the powerful uplifting energy! 'Acceleration' is the word that comes to mind for what I felt. While it may feel as though you have been 'plugging away' at something, with no real results (of course that is only an illusion); you will now see things move forward in what feels like an accelerated way. Allow yourself to believe in this and continue walking with courage and determination toward your desired goal. Embrace the energies being offered and give thanks for the opportunities and situations that present to you now. The 'Rewards' card is the perfect card for you as we head into this weekend of THANKSGIVING and traditional celebration of HARVEST.
Openly express your gratitude for all the current blessings within your life now; and open your arms to those you are about to receive. You have laid the groundwork and are about to 'reap the rewards'! The energy of gratitude welcomes these rewards into your life.
I have a beautiful sign that I place at the exterior entrance to our home during the Autumn season that says:
"Let our lives be full of both THANKS and GIVING." That is my wish for you...Happy Thanks/Giving!
Blessed be...
There will be no card reading Thursday, October 6th/16---it is a 'taking care of business' day for me!
Blessings to you,
Linda
This is your card reading for Wednesday, October 5th/16. Your card today shimmied out of the Ascended Masters oracle card deck authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is 'Peace Offering ~ White Buffalo Calf Woman', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"This card heralds the resolution of an argument or misunderstanding. Those involved in the situation are ready to forgive and forget. Be open to seeing the other person's point of view to soften any hard feelings. As you allow compassion into the situation, love's healing power ensures that everyone's needs are met harmoniously. Leave the details about how this situation will be resolved to the infinite wisdom of Spirit.
ADDITIONAL MEANINGS FOR THIS CARD: Be willing to forgive. * Have compassion for everyone involved in this situation, including yourself. * Accept another's apology. * See the humour in the situation. *
WHITE BUFFALO CALF WOMAN is a prophetess who appeared to the Lakota Native Americans. She presented the Lakotas with a special pipe to amplify the power of their prayers and to bridge a connection between Earth and Heaven. As she turned to leave the tribe, she turned into a buffalo of different colours to signify the unity of all races of humanity. She promised that she would return to help bring unity and peace to Earth. The sign of her return would be the birth of a white buffalo calf. Call upon White Buffalo Calf Woman to instill harmony into your relationships and for world peace."
My message for you today is this:
One of the traditional Native American songs that Jolynn Daisy is often inspired to share when she is conducting ceremony is the song, 'White Buffalo Calf Woman'. We drummed and sang this song when I attended Jolynn's Fall Equinox ceremony this past September 25th/16, and so it is running through my head as I type up my message for you today! Jolynn explained to us that White Buffalo Calf Woman's energy is that of COMPASSION, and we definitely felt that energy in our circle as we drummed and honoured this sacred Ascended Master in song during that ceremony! Aho!
The energies that we have been in of late have been strongly encouraging us to stand firmly in our own personal Truth. To stand in your personal TRUTH at the highest spiritual level means to do so from a place of COMPASSION, rather than aggression. This DOES NOT mean that you need agree with another, but neither must you insist that they agree with you. Sometimes you just need to agree to disagree. To reach a harmonious conclusion doesn't always mean that the two parties involved will walk the same path...sometimes the harmonious conclusion is that they will part ways, and that is ok. The key here is that you may sometimes need to speak or express your Truth, whereas in the past you may have held your tongue to 'keep the peace'. Yet it is not necessary to do so from a place of 'attack'. The ultimate personal power place is to express your Truth from a stance of compassion; and the powerful Ascended Master, White Buffalo Calf Woman, has presented for you today to assist you in this. Strive to honour yourself and your Truth, while also employing empathy, understanding and compassion---including toward YOURSELF!
We are in a time when many of our close relationships are experiencing a 'realignment' of sorts, in response to the prevailing energies and the shift that we are undergoing in regards to standing in our Truth. Rather than see certain situations in relationship as 'challenges', instead choose to see them as 'opportunities'---opportunity to approach these situations from your new, enlightened place.
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Tuesday, October 4th/16. Your card slipped out of the 'Universal Laws of Conscious Creation' card deck authored by Lara Solara, Dana Da Ponte, and Marlene Chapman. Your card is 'Universal Law of Least Effort', and the author's message for the card is this:
"The Law of Least Effort states that the Universe always moves along the path of least resistance. As an individual, you can follow the path of least resistance by concentrating your efforts on your internal world of thoughts and feelings until the conditions are right for you to take action. If you choose to act before the Universe has aligned conditions to support your actions, you must expend great effort. Your job in the creation process is to live in the vibration that matches your ideal, to act upon opportunities that come your way, to notice the signs and synchronicities, and to be open, detached, and trusting. The Universe's job is to work behind the scenes to attract to you what it is you are creating. Once you've decided what it is that you want, your first tendency may be to act on that desire. Use the wisdom of this law instead: stop and wait. Allow opportunities to come to you. This does not mean that you will not have to act; it means that when it is time to act, your next steps will be obvious and harmonious. When opportunities present themselves, synchronicities abound, and everything seems to be coming together effortlessly, the time is right for action. And when the time does come to act, always give 100%. This card is reminding you that when you are putting in a lot of effort but getting very few results, it is time to align with the Law of Least Effort. Concentrate your efforts on mastering your thoughts and feelings first, and let the Universe take care of the HOW."
My message for you today is this:
There have been A LOT of messages coming forward for you of late, with this general theme. 'Go with the flow' is another way to express the how the Universal Law of Least Effort can be implemented in your life. As shared in the message above, the Law of Least Effort DOES NOT imply passivity!! To live the life that your Soul desires for you requires that you be a conscious and active participant in the creation of that. The message that is presenting for you today is to step out of attempting to orchestrate every detail of how your dreams will come into being. As Oprah shares in relation to this:
"All of us need a vision for our lives and even as we work to achieve this vision, we must surrender it to the power that is greater than we know. It's one of the defining principles of my life that I love to share: God can dream a bigger dream for you than you could ever dream for yourself. Success comes when you surrender to that dream--and let it lead you to the next best place." ~Oprah Winfrey~
Seldom are ALL of the steps necessary in moving toward a dream we hold for ourselves evident all at once! It can be overwhelming when this happens! Typically, when we strive to move consciously and deliberately toward a certain goal or dream for our life experience, we do so one step at a time. Those steps are presented by the Universe to us, often in ways that we least expect or could have ever predicted. Yet, when we strive to be aware and to take advantage of the opportunities and synchronicities that present for us, it feels as though we move forward with ease and grace...it just 'feels right' (even if it challenges us, such as when I was asked to speak at IAD this past September). Understand that the Law of Least Effort doesn't mean to employ laziness; but rather the most effective use of your effort! It means being EFFICIENT with your effort and working in symphony with the Universal energies that are always conspiring in your favour!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Monday, October 3rd/16. Your card today drifted out of the 'Return of Spirit' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. Your card is 'Assistance', and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"We all need a little help at one point or another in our lives. Rest assured, help is on the way for you. There is a huge in-pouring of Divine and angelic assistance coming to you now. This card appears for you today to let you know that your need for help has been acknowledged. Whether you have directly asked for aid or not, the Universe is stepping forward on your behalf.
This assistance can come in many forms. Sometimes it comes in the form of another person. We do not necessarily have to know them personally for them to influence our lives. Through a series of divinely organized coincidences, a complete stranger can make their way into our personal world, providing the help we so greatly need. At other times, it may be our closest friends who lovingly step forward to assist us.
However, we can also experience a sudden shift in circumstances, which occurs for no logical reason. This can happen to certain individuals who we may be having difficulty with. Either something energetically shifts in them, or we suddenly understand how we are to deal with that person.
No matter how it happens, it is Spirit working in your life. So let this be fair warning. Help is coming! So don't do something silly, such as say, 'No thank you", when help is offered to you. Do not let feelings of not being worthy or deserving get in the way. Do not allow your pride, or need to be the giver, interfere with this Divine offering of assistance. You most certainly deserve it. Allow yourself to receive it. Just smile, and say thank you.
Just as this assistance comes to you, sometime soon Spirit will call on you to provide a loving hand of help to someone else."
My message for you today is this:
The 'helping' energies are very strong today! After the turbulent, 'stir things up' energies of September, we are moving into a 'take action' month in which we are being hugely supported in moving in the direction of our truest expression. In hindsight, we can now see that some of that turbulence was necessary to bring stagnant energies and patterns to the surface so that they could be released at the deepest level.
Note the gorgeous sky blue color that is prevalent in the fractal art card for today's reading--the colour of your Throat Chakra--the energy center of communication and expressing your Truth. Any actions that you take, or words that you speak must be in alignment with your personal Truth and belief system now---it will feel as though you just have no other choice! Recall that standing authentically in your own power never takes another's personal power from them---this is the highest integral level of self-empowerment that you have been shifting toward. Yes...the path there may have felt rough and rocky at times, but pat yourself on the back for taking that path, regardless of the potholes and detours you have had to navigate! The Universe applauds your conscious Soul work, wherein you have chosen to break old patterns of behavior that you have grown past...as vulnerable and scary as it felt, at times! The old competitive paradigm that we lived under as a collective that caused such a stature of 'separateness'--and therefore suffering--is shrinking away and YOU know and feel this to be true. Yet, this shifting is still occurring, and so people and situations may still present in your life that challenge you and this knowing. Approach these 'challenging' people and situations from your new understanding and personal Truth. Acknowledge within yourself that the Universe is providing you the opportunity to integrate your Soul growth on the deepest level by affording you the circumstance and opportunity to approach these people or situations from your new enlightened standpoint and place of personal power. Now, embrace the assistance being offered you, as you continue to move into that truest expression of who you came here to be.
Blessed be...
