Happy Halloween

The World

This is your card reading for Monday, October 30th/17. Your card flipped over to reveal itself from the 'Energy' oracle card deck, authored by Sandra Anne Taylor. Your card is 'The World' and Sandra's message for the card is this:
"~Expansion, Opening Up~
The man in this picture is looking out over a bay, above which the beautiful sphere of the earth is rotating. This card is reminding you to expand your vision and contemplate some much broader options. The world is wide, so there's a lot out there to consider.
In the modern age of technology, this could specifically be referring to creating or expanding to a more global network through the Internet or social marketing.
Drawing this card also lets you know that you have unlimited resources available to you, and now is the time to think big. As they say, the world is your oyster, so get ready to gobble it up.
AFFIRMATION:  My life expands into boundless horizons with unlimited, powerful energy. A world of possibilities is open to me now."

My message for you today is this:
For many of us in my age group (50's), the advent of social media and the internet has been daunting, at times!  While we understand the positive aspects of it, we also see the detriment; and above that, we are intimidated in learning to navigate our way through it! 
This powerful means of connecting on a more global or 'worldly' scale has definitely served us; but  has also sometimes meant that we don't give enough time or attention to connecting on an interpersonal level, which has honestly become a social problem, in my opinion. 
Choose to CONSCIOUSLY employ social media and the internet to expand your horizons and to share your gifts with others.  Understand that this is a tool made available for you to use, rather than the 'be all - end all' of communication. (I am smiling as I understand the irony of that statement, since you are receiving this card reading through either my website or my Facebook page! Yes—Spirit also sees the humour in our physical experiences!)
The other aspect of your message today is in the regards to the vision that you hold for yourself.  We often times keep ourselves 'small', rather than to confidently and courageously express our own grand potential (which Spirit absolutely sees in each one of us!). Dare to dream!  Dream big!  Hold your vision and know that the Universe is conspiring in your favour.  When you've been through a trying time, you may believe that that's when you need to set your dreams aside, but THAT'S exactly when you need to hold onto your dreams and embrace them all the more diligently!  Your world is a reflection of what you believe it to be. 
There is power and responsibility in that.
Blessed be...

No card readings Thursday, Oct 26th and Friday, Oct. 27th as I teach Akashic Records course

There will be no card readings on Thursday, Oct. 26th and Friday, Oct 27th—I will joyfully be teaching my Empowering Yourself Through the Akashic Records course on these days! (Soulful for me! <3) I wanted to share the words of someone I follow in the email I received from her this morning. Tania Gabrielle is an Astro-Numerologist and I receive emails from her speaking to the prevailing astro-numerological energies. Here's what she had to say about today:

"On Thursday we are blessed with a once-a-year astrology event:
The Sun conjuncts Jupiter, which is considered one of the luckiest days of the year!
Sun and Jupiter joined as one infuses you with Light and Joy – unbridled optimism! Pay close attention to opportunities and blessings.
In these next few days…
You can easily turn your visions and goals into reality and create something magical.
You feel lit up, happy to be alive and filled with exuberant joy.
You will find it easy to see obstacles as opportunities.
It’s the perfect moment to reframe a challenging situation and experience it in a new light.
Jupiter is not only about joy and fortunate blessings, but also brings wisdom and spiritual healing.
It doesn’t matter whether you feel it’s the worst or best timeto be alive – Jupiter teaches you, what matters is how you live right now.
Obstacles are actually not real.
They are how the lower mind perceives (or avoids) growth experiences.
Obstacles only exist in the past (you are remembering a past situation as challenging and using it to reframe a current one as an obstacle)… or they exit the future (you are worrying about something that may happen based on past experience).
But, be completely present right now, and there can be no obstacle.
There is just living, breathing… being.
Listening, noticing, engaging…
Jupiter governs gratitude and your higher mind. Jupiter likes to see the big picture – it EXPANDS your perception. Watch your lower mind - if it gets distracted, breathe and tune into something that makes you grateful.
Don’t wrap your head around why something is happening to you. Or what it means, or represents.
Look not at the obstacle, but the opportunity hidden inside.
No matter what you are handed, no matter how negative it may initially seem – look at the fortunate benefits. What is the real value?
After all, it HAS happened – now it’s your role to discover the benefits.
Clear your mind so it tunes into the higher Jupiterian mind.
Be bold! Act deliberately and persistently. Jupiter is the master builder of positive outcomes."
Thank you, Tania Gabrielle, for sharing this astro-numerological wisdom with us today!
Blessed be...

Universal Law of Attraction

This is your card reading for Wednesday, October 25th/17.  Your card today propelled 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 Attraction', and the author's message for the card is this:
"The Law of Attraction states that like attracts like. Thoughts and feelings have energy frequencies that attract from the Universe the people, things and circumstances that are of similar frequencies. The Law of Attraction is a magnetic power that will draw to you the external experiences that correspond with your internal state of being. The Law of Attraction is always operational: you cannot expect that you will attract people and conditions to you only when you are meditating or visualizing. The thoughts and feelings you entertain as you move through your day also direct the Law of Attraction. It is important to remember that the Law of Attraction will direct to you the quality and content you focus on, whether or not this is ultimately what you want for yourself. To consciously control what you attract, first define clearly what it is you really want and then spend time each day visualizing your desires as manifest. Second, move through your day in a state of gratitude, detachment, and positive expectation. Instead of trying to make everything happen, know that the Law of Attraction will naturally draw people, events, circumstances, opportunities, ideas, inspiration, and synchronicities to you. This card reminds you that the things you have been focusing on are on their way."

My message for you today is this:
Often times, when people are reminded about the Law of Attraction and that what they think about has impact on their life, they are intimidated by that!  It's been said that we have between 50,000 and 70,000 thoughts every day! Imagine if we were to attract into our lives every thought?  That IS intimidating!  You are a vibrational being.  Your vibration is not impacted by what we would call 'fleeting thoughts' that cross your mind on occasion.  Your vibration is impacted more so by what you focus upon. Being aware of this is what we mean by living your life 'consciously'.  In the words of Robin Sharma: "What you focus on grows, what you think about expands, and what you dwell upon determines your destiny."
Or the words of Oprah Winfrey, in this same vein:  "What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it."  There is ALWAYS something good to focus upon, even in challenging times. 
You are being reminded today to CHOOSE consciously what you will place your attention upon.  What thoughts will you notice and expand upon and what thoughts will you notice and allow to just float on by without giving any of your time and attention to?  This does not mean that you need try to control your thoughts—who wants to be in such a constant battle throughout your day? Instead, simply decide what thoughts you will FUEL. Your feelings and emotions fuel your thoughts, and gratitude is one of THE most powerful manifestation activators!  When you focus with gratitude upon what you LOVE about your life, you will draw more of what you love into your life—this is the Law of Attraction at work.  And as was stated in the message for this card by the authors, it is how you conduct yourself throughout the course of your day, and what you place your focus on that truly impacts what you will draw into your life experience.  Utilize the tools of meditation and visualization to gain clarity about what it is you wish to attract; but then carry that clarity forward with you as you actively live your life and consciously choose where your focus will be.  The Law of Attraction is a universal law that is at play whether you choose to consciously utilize it or not.  Empower yourself by making the choice to employ this law in drawing that which you desire into your life.  We have been on a journey of uncovering our deepest inner Truth. Take what you have learned about WHO you are and WHO you came here to be, and apply the Law of Attraction to assist you in courageously expressing that.
Blessed be...

The Message

This is your card reading for Tuesday, October 24th/17. Your card today flipped over and out of the 'Gaia' oracle deck authored by Toni Carmine Salerno. Your card is 'The Message' and Toni's message for the card is this:
"~Positive News, Positive Outcome~
The anxious wait is nearly over and a time of celebration is near. You will soon receive good news. This may come from a land far away or it may come from someone close to you. In any case, an issue of major importance has a positive outcome. This may relate to you or someone dear to you. What a relief! You can now rest easy in the knowledge that all is well. Thank the universe for this blessing and give thanks to the Earth and stars also. Remember, that our lives are forever held in their eternal embrace. Whether we know it or not, we are surrounded always by unconditional love.
AFFIRMATION:
I thank the Earth and stars for every blessing
I give thanks for the love that fills and surrounds me
I am loved unconditionally by a benevolent universe
My mind is full of light
My heart it forever grateful."

My message for you today is this:
The prevailing cosmic energies are such that our manifesting abilities are amplified and our connection to Spirit or the Divine or however you choose to label Source, is strong and true. All that is required of you in making the connection is to trust, allow, and believe. I have said here on many occasions that the vibration of GRATITUDE is a powerful manifestor.  Express gratitude even if what you desire may not 'seem' to be with you yet—feel gratitude for that which you desire as though you are already experiencing it. Trust, allow and believe that it is on it's way to you or to your loved one. Today is an empowering day energetically, so why not utilize that?  Your sixth sense (psychic sense) is very strong today and the lines of communication are clear and open. Trust in what you are receiving and give thanks as you take guided action.  Pay attention to your dreams, for it is in this receptive state that many receive messages.  Reside in the knowing that 'all is well'. 
Blessed be...

Dragon Guide

This is your card reading for Monday, October 23rd/17. Your card today soared out of the Divine Guidance fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. Your card is 'Dragon Guide' and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this: 
"Dragon is here to help you take a stand in your life. Others may have strong opinions about what you should be doing or how you should be doing it. It could also be that others are interfering when they should not be.  Dragon has come to help you stand firm for what you believe is right, even if that means breathing a little fire to get your point across. Don't worry, it will be ok. Dragon is here to help you claim your power and your right to live your life as YOU see best."

My message for you today is this:
This is about standing in your own personal power and isn't so much about challenging others as it is about being clear with yourself about WHO you are and what 'lights you up', or gets you 'fired up'!   You need not be confrontational, because true self-empowerment is foundational and doesn't disempower another, but neither does it allow another to disempower you.  Those who tend to 'bully' others or who are antagonistic are truly coming from a very disempowered and insecure stance.  Those who stand firmly in their own Truth have no need to proclaim their Truth, because they are LIVING it. Can you see the difference? 
Dragon Guide has presented for you today to assist you with recognizing that 'fire in your belly' that is indicative of WHO you are and WHY you are here.  Take empowered steps in living your life from that enlightened place and hold an attitude of knowing that YOU are in charge of YOU, ultimately.  To place blame upon another for choices and decisions that you make for yourself does not serve you.  We are talking about the 'big scheme of things' here.  That fire in your belly is the vision you hold for yourself—it is a journey comprised of many steps.  Stand firmly in your own power and take some action steps that serve the Light you came here to share, and pay no attention to those who would strive to dim your Light. They cannot do so without your permission.  'Know thyself and honour thyself' is the term that comes to mind for your message today.
Blessed be...

New Moon in Libra

There will be no card reading today, but I wanted to share this very important information about today's New Moon in Libra on Thursday, October 19th/17.
New Moon's typically hold manifestation energy, with each holding it's own unique vibration in accordance with the other prevailing cosmic energies at the time. This New Moon is powerful in regards to relationships and personal connections.  In that regard, I'd like to share the words of Wealth Astro-Numerologist, Tania Gabrielle, about the energies of this particular New Moon:

"It can be scary to be deeply intimate with someone - sharing all of you, especially parts you’ve protected.... But Uranus exactly opposite the New Moon is urging you to take that risk, let yourself be seen – fully. 

And Mercury with Jupiter encourage you to speak your truth, use your voice to express your hopes.

It’s time to go out on a limb, take a leap of faith.

The same goes for attracting prosperity. Take that leap of faith into the unknown. That’s where the real treasure is!

Jupiter encourages you to give it a go! 

Riches, honor and prosperity are yours when you welcome the unexpected, adjust gracefully to rapid change and remain patient about outcomes. Uranus certainly will inspire you to seek freedom – so just remember to breathe deeply through any restlessness you may encounter.

Something completely unpredictable can shift your life to the core...

You’re feeling really articulate now and confident about sharing your prosperity plans with others.

So take that step. Expect amazing results!"

I have intuited that 2017 is the year of 'courageous expression' and this is coming to the forefront at this time. Utilize the energies being offered you in moving forward in a positive way now. What seeds will you plant and ask the Universe to nurture along with you? Be clear and confident!

Blessed be...

Om

This is your card reading for Wednesday, October 18th/17. Your card today wafted out of the 'Universal Wisdom' oracle deck authored by Toni Carmine Salerno.  Your card is 'Om' and Toni's message for the card is this:
"~If we were to trace creation back to its source, it would lead to a point of light from which all creation stems. This point of light also exists inside your heart. It emanates a sound or vibration which resonates through all creation.~
This card has appeared in your reading today to remind you of the unlimited creative power, healing and wisdom that can be accessed through this sacred sound. Try the following meditation any time you feel low on energy or out of balance in any way.
Sit quietly. Focus on your breath. As you relax, you will feel a point of light within your third eye area, the point between your eyebrows. Feel its vibration and sound flow through your mind and body. There are seven main energy centers: Crown Center—on top of your head, Third Eye—the point between your eyebrow, Throat Center, Heart Center, Solar Plexus, Sacral Center, and Base Center—at the bottom of your spine. Focus on each energy center one at a time and feel each center being healed and balanced by the vibration of the eternal sound Om. Feel your energy levels rise as you align with the sacred sound of the Universe.

This meditation, practised daily, will help heal and inspire you."

My message for you today is this:
What Toni refers to as 'centers' in his message are more commonly referred to as 'chakras'. Chakras are the energy centers in your body. Chakra means 'wheel' in the Eastern language of Sanskrit, as many 'view' these energy centers as spinning wheels within the body.  There are 7 major chakras that run up the spinal cord, and to the crown of your head. Each chakra has a different color vibration, to do with the speed that they vibrate at. Each chakra is also associated with certain glands within your body and carry various qualities and functions.  Chakras are highly sensitive and it is important to care for your energy centers in order to feel optimal—particularly when you have been exposed to highly charged energy around you, including emotional trauma. Here's a synopsis of the 7 major chakras:
1)  Root or Base Chakra ~ Located at the base of your spine and ruby red in color. Think of this chakra as 'I have', because it is issues of security and safety from a physical perspective that are associated with this chakra.
2)  Sacral Chakra ~ Located just below your navel and orange in color. Think of this chakra as 'I feel', because it is issues of relationship, creativity, appetite, sexuality and desire that are associated with this chakra.
3)  Solar Plexus Chakra ~ Located above the navel and below the chest, in your mid-section and is sunshine yellow in color. Think of this chakra as 'I can' because it is issues of personal power and action that are associated with this chakra.
4)  Heart Chakra ~ Located in the center of your chest and is emerald green in color. Think of this chakra as  'I love' because it is all issues regarding giving and receiving love that are associated with this chakra.
5)  Throat Chakra ~ Located in the throat area and is sky blue in color. Think of this chakra as 'I speak' because it is all issues regarding communication and personal truth that are associated with this chakra.
6)  Third Eye Chakra ~ Located at the center of your forehead between your eyebrows and indigo purple in color.  Think of this chakra as 'I see' because it is issues regarding personal insight, clairvoyance and intuition that are associated with this chakra.
7)  Crown Chakra ~ Located at the crown (top) of your head and is violet in color. Think of this chakra as 'I know' because it is associated with divine wisdom and purpose and universal consciousness and enlightenment.
What Toni has shared in his message with you for this card is essentially a means to clear and balance your chakras by sitting quietly and saying aloud the sacred sound 'Om' (pronounced OH-MMMMMM—really drawing out the 'm' sound). Om is commonly referred to as the 'universal sound' and is believed to be powerfully energetically charged.
We have been in some very challenging and trying energies and chaos has resulted in the life experience of many.  During such times, it serves you to keep yourself centered energetically so that you can come from a balanced place in what you are dealing with. 
You are being STRONGLY encouraged to see the LIGHT today! This is a CHOICE. 
We are honestly moving into a time of significant support in manifesting what we desire, as we move toward the New Moon tomorrow.  Make a conscious decision to do so from a balanced place so that you can be the fullest expression of who you came here to be.
Blessed be...

Deep Knowing

This is your card reading for Monday, October 16th/17. Your card today flew out of the 'Wisdom of the Oracle' card deck, authored by Colette Baron-Reid. Your card is 'Deep Knowing' and Colette's message for the card is this:
"ESSENTIAL MEANINGS:  Intuition; listening to the oracle within; empathy; hypersensitivity.
THE ORACLE'S MESSAGE:  Intuition is the faculty that allows you to enter into a dialogue with Source, the Consciousness that you are a part of but cannot see with the naked eye. It's perplexing that people are taught to ignore this natural capacity to navigate their journeys, to access their inner guidance. Know that you have an ability to read between the lines and find all the truth that was missing when the story was told. This deep knowing allows you to open the door to wisdom far greater than what is available in the limitations of human experience. You're given information that may make no sense whatsoever to the logical mind or five senses but which is 100 percent correct and true.  The trick is to listen and then to act accordingly. You're now invited into this sacred dialogue of deep knowing, so tune in and trust your vibes—they will be right. Ask and you will receive answers from unusual sources."

My message for you today is this:
You have been undergoing a vibrational upgrade, although it may not feel at times like that was what was happening! Such adjustments can sometimes leave you feeling very fatigued and you may even experience some bodily aches and pains or flu-like symptoms. Relax into it, and understand that you are literally just 'recalibrating'.  You are an energetic being. You are impacted by the energy within and around you–and there have been some INTENSE energies around you lately (note that 'intense' doesn't always have to mean 'challenging', just that you will feel them strongly, particularly if you are very sensitive to energy).  Take some time to rest today as you are integrating your recent vibrational shift.  Today is a day when you may feel very introspective and attuned to your intuitive self.  Time spent in meditation would truly serve you today. Know that 'meditation' means different things to different people—it need not be sitting in silence in the 'don't think, don't move, don't talk' means of meditating. Perhaps your favored form of meditation is taking a walk in nature, or your yoga practise, or even listening to a guided meditation. Whatever meditation means for you, DO try to spend some time in that practise today—it will really serve you to do so. Trust in the messages that are incoming!  You are indeed experiencing deep knowing!
Blessed be...

No card readings Wednesday, Thursday, Friday...

Sorry that I didn't get your card reading posted yesterday—and there will be no card reading today or tomorrow either.

It's been a busy week and now I am leading into teaching my Akashic Records Course, Levels 1 & 2 this upcoming weekend! Yay! I am beyond excited to spend time with the beautiful Souls who will be venturing into the Records with me—this is so heart-centred and sacred to me! 

This quote speaks to the intense journey we have been on and the energies we've been in that have been encouraging (urging!) us to stand in our own power and to acknowledge that where we've been has led us here—even as we release what no longer serves us in moving forward. We are being guided to take the next best step and to take things to the next level—the shifting has been significant! The Universe HAS been conspiring in your favour! You are a brave Soul!  Take the next best step!
Blessed be...

Path of the Soul

I trust that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! <3 
This is your card reading for Tuesday, October 10th/17. Your card spun out of the 'Path of the Soul' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish, and the card that revealed itself for you today is the card that the deck was named for—'Path of the Soul'!  Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"This is a complete opening of the Heart Center. Your will and the Divine Will are merging. This is the next step in the journey to Ascension, operating fully from a place of Love. Trust each and every step you are guided to take, even if you do not understand it in this moment. There may be times that you feel overwhelmed with all you've been given. You are in full flow with intuitive guidance, creative ideas, tasks and undertakings. You may experience a mix of emotional and physical occurrences, but know that this is a natural part of the process."

My message for you today is this:
Such a powerful card (the card that this deck was named for!) to present for you on the 10th day of the 10th month in a 10 universal year (2+0+1+7=10)!  Numerologically, this denotes new beginnings, but embracing the new beginning from a perspective of completion, which holds a unique energy.  What I mean by that is that this new beginning is encompassed in the perception of the cycles of life.  Having brought something to completion you are now ready to bring in something new—it's taking the next great step and taking something to the next level, whatever that 'something' happens to be for you. Think of it this way:  It's moving on to your Masters degree, having completed your Bachelors degree, so to speak.  Your Soul is calling you now to move to the next level.   You may find yourself feeling deeply inspired at this time. Perhaps you are being called to take a course that has been calling to you; or to read that book that has drawn your attention; or to go to an event that you know will somehow shift your perspective or enlighten you; or to create a meaningful daily spiritual practise for yourself; or to begin honoring your physical body through conscious diet and exercise.  We had been in energies that were promoting releasing at the deepest levels with the recent Full Moon and the prevailing energies around it. It is in acknowledging our shadow side that we can better reveal the Light within.  This releasement was clearing the way to take our next best step, while also honoring the journey that brought us to this place—all of it, even what you may have deemed as your shadow side. We needed to integrate and accept all aspects of ourselves with Love. "When you know better, you do better," was the mantra for that time.  We are now being urged to move into courageous expression of WHO we came here to be, because we know better who that is! 
Whatever is inspiring you at this time, trust that you are being guided and step into it, as by doing so, you will be following the path of the Soul.
Blessed be...

(The photo of your card today was taken with my Rose Quartz crystal singing bowl whose tone aligns with the Heart/High Heart chakra, and with a piece of raw Rose Quartz—the crystal of unconditional Love. <3)

Why?

This is your card reading for Friday, October 6th/17. Your card today flipped over within the deck to reveal itself as I shuffled, and is from the 'Wisdom of the Oracle' deck, authored by Colette Baron-Reid. Your card is 'Why?' and Colette's message for the card is this:
"ESSENTIAL MEANINGS: Motives driving intention; the power of knowing the 'why'.
THE ORACLE'S MESSAGE: There is a great power in understanding your motives right now. The Oracle asks you to be very clear about WHY you're asking this question, looking for this answer, behaving in this way, and, most important, making this choice. Knowing your 'why' is the key to fulfillment. When you are clear about it, your intention will then be a magnet for miracles. Motives define the nature of your experience—when you think about something, feel it, and then act on it. This invisible 'why' is the life force energy within the seed, which brings it to life and holds the potential for growth."

My message for you today is this:
We remain in the energies of yesterday's Full Moon, and a powerful one it was! Recall that I shared with you that some were calling this Full Moon the Truth Full Moon—that the energies of this Full Moon were urging us to go within and to honest with ourselves about the whole Truth of who we are—including the shadow aspects of ourselves. We live in this physical dimension of duality, and so where there is Light there is also shadow. What shadow beliefs or ways of being were drawn to your attention that you desire to shift as you move forward? What no longer serves you?  The energies of this Moon are serving to release the obstacles that are real or perceived in keeping you from experiencing your heart's desires. These were being brought to the Light so that we could shift such old patterns, thereby further empowering ourselves.  No self-judgment; only releasement and the intention to move forward in a new, empowered way.
Your card today has presented because it is key that you now stand fully within the INTENTION of WHY you choose to do what you do.  You have seen me write here on many occasions that to me to set an 'intention' means to 'plant a seed'—it does NOT mean that you are attempting to control exactly how the seed with germinate and grow—it is the underlying ENERGY you bring to something.  How wonderfully synchronistic that Colette also uses the analogy of the 'seed' in regards to intention and motive!  It is time to be clear and truthful with yourself about the 'why' (the intention) of your actions toward your dreams and desires.  Understand that it is your intention that is fuelling the outcome. When your intention (motive) is in alignment with your greater good, and thereby the greater good for others, the Universe will support you in what seems to be miraculous ways. 
If you have been experiencing a 'road block' of some kind, be still and ask yourself "What is the honest underlying intention I am bringing to this?  Is the underlying intention I am bringing to this coming from a place that honors my Higher Self? If not, how can I shift this?"
Perhaps you 'thought' that your intention was to be of service, but when you really look at the choices you have been making your underlying intention was that you didn't want to disappoint someone who held an expectation of you.  Can you feel the difference in the underlying energies of each of these motives, even though they might 'seem' to be similar?  When you understand the 'why' of your intention, you fuel it!  The Universe is urging you to move forward and to do so from an empowered place!  Know your 'why'!
Blessed be...

Harvest Full Moon

There will be no card reading today, Thursday, October 5th/17—the day of the Harvest Full Moon, also being referred to as the Truth Full Moon. It's referred to as the Harvest Full Moon because it happens so close to Fall Equinox. It has been referred to as the Truth Full Moon because of the prevailing energies that are encouraging us to own our personal Truth and to take action based on that. Full Moons are typically about releasement, and you are to release what no longer serves you, being honest with yourself about what that may be. Be aware that some aspects of yourself and certain patterns of behaviour that may be holding you back are rising to the surface. This is a good thing. Now you can move more effectively toward your personal goals. Utilize the energies being offered you and the guidance that is so available to you at this time.
Blessed be...

Aquamarine ~ Release

This is your card reading for Wednesday, October 4th/17. Your card today dropped gently out of the 'Crystal Ally' deck, authored by Naisha Ahsian.  Your card is 'Aquamarine ~ Release' and Naisha's message for the card is this:
"Aquamarine is a lovely blue crystal in the beryl family. This stone resonates at a frequency that opens and clears the throat chakra, facilitating communication and enhancing one's ability to perceive the energy behind the words of others. It is a Water element stone, and so it reflects Water's energy by promoting clarity, movement, and especially release. The act of release is a vitally important act in the process of growth. The act of release allows room to be made in your life and heart for those things that you wish to create. . . While it is important for you to develop ideas about what you would like to create, it is not necessary for you to obsess about them in order for them to manifest. Sometimes, focusing too much upon the form that a manifestation will take can actually inhibit the Universe's ability to aid you in your creation. . . If we attempt to control everything too tightly, we lose our ability to experience the essence of our experiences. It is only through the act of release that we are able to find our true path and receive the gifts that the Universe has for us. 
Aquamarine has appeared today as a reminder that it is only by releasing the old that we can make way for the new. . . The Universe will always create that which is for your highest good—if you allow it to.
Aquamarine is asking you to take inventory of your life and possessions, and to release that which no longer fits who you are. Create a give-away ceremony in which you release those aspects from your life; giving away the energy of control, and allowing yourself to have faith that the Universe will use that energy to create what is in your highest good. Clean out your closets, both inner an outer, and create space for the new to take form. Allow the light of Spirit to enter and fill your body and mind.
CHAKRA: Throat
AFFIRMATION:  I release that which no longer serves, and accept Universal abundance."

My message for you today is this:
Wow!  I couldn't script these things if I tried! The synchronicity of this card presenting today is incredible!  Archangel Gabrielle, the archangel of communication presented for you yesterday and now this beautiful crystal, which also supports and facilitates clear communication has presented!  Tomorrow will be a powerful Full Moon in Aries, which some are calling the 'Truth' Full Moon.  Full Moons typically hold the vibration of releasement, while New Moons hold the vibration of manifestation. Yet, each Moon cycle also holds its own unique vibration according to the other prevailing astro and planetary influences at that time.  Tomorrow's Full Moon is about having released any falsehoods and getting very REAL with yourself about who you are authentically.  Essentially, it is about owning your Truth, so that you can then take action toward the fullest expression of that. Do not allow outside influences paint the picture of WHO you are in Truth. To do so is giving your personal power away, and that serves no one! 
Trust me, I completely understand—considering the recent chaos and upset that has occurred in many people's personal lives and also on the global stage—how we as individuals and as a collective are feeling that we are literally 'reeling' with the impact of it all!  Aquamarine holds a gentle yet highly effective vibration in encouraging us to release what doesn't serve us in moving forward in the best possible way.  Understand that to 'release' DOES NOT imply to DENY.  You acknowledge and then you make the conscious choice/decision to release, which is how we then experience profound breakthroughs so that we can move forward in a positive way. Give the best you have to give. That is how we all heal.  The Divine is making itself highly accessible to us at this time, if we are willing. Trust, allow and believe in this. 
(I intentionally took the picture of today's card in front of the Selenite lamp in a darkened space—a beacon of Light in the dark. That is what is so needed now and you can be that beacon when you express the Truth of who you are!) 
Blessed be...

Archangel Gabrielle

This is your card reading for Tuesday, October 3rd/17.  Your card today glided out of the 'Messages From Your Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is 'Archangel Gabrielle' and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"You have an important life purpose involving communication and the arts. Please don't allo insecurities to hold you back. I will help you.
ADDITIONAL MESSAGE:  I am with you as one of your angels. You may wonder why an archangel is with you. I help many people simultaneously, and you are among them. I help those whose life purpose is in the arts or communication. I will help you polish and trust in your natural talents. Then I will open doors for you to express those talents in a way that will help others. 
What I need from you in return is honestly and cooperation. Tell me about your fears, your hopes, your confusion, your insecurities, and your dreams. Ask me to help you. And then, please walk through the doors of opportunity that I open for you. I am on your side completely! My function is to be your coach, and as such, I may prod you along. Please know that I am only pushing you because I know that you need a little boost from above."

My message for you today is this:
Every Archangel has a 'specialty'. Archangel Gabrielle is often referred to as the Archangel of communication. Some experience this Archangel's energy as more masculine in nature and so you will sometimes see this Archangel's name spelled 'Gabriel'. I personally experience this Archangel as more feminine in nature. Her name means 'messenger of God' and many experience her aura as copper in color. A crystal said to align well with her energy is Citrine.  For me, Archangel Gabrielle's aura is more blue/turquoise and I equate crystals such as Aqua Aura Quartz and Blue Topaz with her energy, because these are crystals that assist us with communication. There is no right or wrong way to experience the energy of an Archangel. Simply trust, allow and believe the way in which you experience them.  They WANT to assist you—it is their mission!  
You need not be involved in communication or the arts on a large stage for Archangel Gabrielle to be working with you. Those who deal with the public in their careers: such as teachers, nurses, receptionists, clerks, etc., can benefit from calling upon Archangel Gabrielle to assist them.  I now understand that Archangel Gabrielle has been with me throughout my life, even when I didn't have the understanding to consciously invoke her to be with me. Yes, you must ASK for any Angel to be with you because they are governed by the Law of Free Will and therefore cannot interfere in our lives without our permission.  The way in which you ASK need not be a formal prayer, however—it can be as simple as 'help'!  Now I consciously call upon Archangel Gabrielle to be with me whenever I am teaching; when I am posting these card readings; when I am giving a reading; when I am giving a speech; when I am writing an important letter; when I am creating a new course—you get the idea.  You can call upon Archangel Gabrielle to be with you and to assist you when you know that you are about to have an important conversation; when you are making what you may consider to be a difficult phone call; when you find that the 'lines of communication' are off between you and someone you care about.  This Archangel has presented for you today to remind you that she is here for you to assist you in all aspects of communication and that her ability to be with multiple souls at once means that you aren't taking her away from someone else by calling her to you.  There is definitely something that you need to say or express at this time and this is also being called to your attention. Perhaps there is a conversation that you need to have. Perhaps you will be approached about speaking publicly or doing some kind of presentation. It is no coincidence that this card presented for you at this time, so pay attention and don't allow fear to keep you from doing what you need to do. Whatever the situation is for you, you DO have a gift for communicating, and you are supported in that!
Blessed be...

Towering Magnificence

This is your card reading for Monday, October 2nd/17.  Your card today flipped out of the 'Journey of Love' deck, authored by Alana Fairchild (messages and Rassouli (artwork). Your card is 'Towering Magnificence' and Alanna's message for the card is this:
"You are entering the presence of the truly great and sublime divinity. It is without form yet exists within all forms. It is humbling and yet asks nothing of you. It just is when we encounter it, we are moved beyond words, beyond mind, and into realms of the heart that we may never have experienced before. It takes a brave soul to meet the towering majesty of divine presence.  It can be a terrifying experience as limitations, preconceived notions and identities crumble in the wake of its light. You are being brought to this place out of love because you are ready. Your soul has been craving connection to something so much larger than itself, to find something worthy to which it can devote itself entirely.  This greatness is becoming available to you now, to be witness to the extent that is helpful, so that you may find the greater purpose of service which your heart craves. You are ready.
This oracle brings you comfort that your inner path, you opening up to the divine presence is happening now, according to divine timing and grace. This is also confirmation that you are connecting with your spiritual guidance more consciously now and that any sense of self that appears to be falling away from you now is because your divinity has outgrown it and a new awareness is taking its place."

My message for you today is this:
Simply put, Alana's message for this card means that you are growing in your ability to make a conscious connection to the divinity that is within and around you.  I know that each person reading this can call to mind a time when you experienced the grace of Divinity in your life. It feels like a love that is almost overwhelming in its intensity. It's as though you can feel your heart overflowing with Love. The warmth of it is all encompassing.  Allow yourself to reflect on a time when you experienced this.  I recall having that feeling at the birth of each of our children...feeling the magnitude of the miracle of new life and a love that was almost terrifying in it's intensity.  I also recall having this feeling during a very challenging time in my life when I simply and innocently prayed for strength in handling a very difficult and heart-wrenching situation. I honestly felt the grace of divinity flow into me to give me strength and its warmth filled me.  
We are currently in a time for humanity, wherein as a collective we are maturing spiritually and seeking to make a personal and conscious connection to the divine and to the divinity within each of us.  We feel urged to be the fullest expression of who we came here to be.  We understand that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience, and that we have guidance and support available to us beyond the physical.  We are learning and growing exponentially in our understanding of how to connect to that higher knowing.  Trust in this.
Blessed be...
