Universal Connection

This is your card reading for Wednesday, November 15th/17. Your card today drifted out of the 'Path of the Soul' fractal art deck authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. Your card is 'Universal Connection' and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"The guidance you are now receiving is truly Universal. Take time daily to connect with your guides and Angels. They wish to connect with you as much as you wish to connect with them. They are working very closely with you and you are being encouraged to journal at this time. This is a Great story you are writing. It is your personal story and it is unique to you and only you. Write poetry to express the emotions you are feeling. Write down your dreams and synchronistic events that occur. This card calls for putting your connection and experience with Spirit into writing."

My message for you today is this:
Recently a couple of my friends brought to my attention a 'writing meditation' called 'Morning Pages'.  As described by Julia Cameron—the creator of this writing meditation—on her web site:
"Morning Pages are three pages of longhand, stream of consciousness writing,
done first thing in the morning. *There is no wrong way to do Morning Pages–
they are not high art. They are not even “writing.” They are about
anything and everything that crosses your mind– and they are for your eyes
only. Morning Pages provoke, clarify, comfort, cajole, prioritize and
synchronize the day at hand. Do not over-think Morning Pages: just put
three pages of anything on the page...and then do three more pages tomorrow."
I have long been a journaller—I have always loved to write and have found writing to be a source of release and comfort during challenging and painful times in my life; as well as a place to express my joy.  Yet, I had gotten away from journalling and so when my friends both synchronistically spoke about this writing technique, I knew I had to look into it.  I began this journalling process on Oct. 18th. It hasn't always been possible to journal every morning, but I do it when I can, and I understand how it can become a form of meditation.  I see how it has become a place for me to express honestly—without fear of judgment or retribution—my thoughts and feelings and to then look at them from a more objective viewpoint, from my Higher Self. Automatic writing has long been a means by which we can connect with Spirit, and this is a form of automatic writing, in my opinion. 
Perhaps you will find that some form of journalling will support you in making the connection to your guides and Angels, and your Spiritual Advisors.  Perhaps you will simply write about your goals and dreams, thereby 'anchoring' them into the physical realm and consciously putting the Universe on notice as to your desires for yourself. Perhaps you will utilize inspirational quotes that you post in places where you will see them often; to remind you of who you wish to be and how you wish to be in this world.  You are being reminded today that you may use the written word as a means of making a conscious connection to your Higher Self and to the guidance that is available to you.  
Blessed be...
