This is your card reading for Monday, DECEMBER 1st/14 (yes...it is DECEMBER, already)!
Your card flew out of the 'Path of the Soul' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. Your card is the 'Intuitive Arts Guide', and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"There are many forms of intuitive work being done on the planet today. Using your intuitive gifts has a large role in the work you are really here to do. There are many tasks that are undertaken which actually involve the intuitive process. Whether you paint, write music, design, raise children, waitress, or give psychic readings, you are operating from an intuitive source. This guide is here to help you see that your role is important. The work you do is needed. You are in service and your intuitive knowing is strong. You are helping others to acknowledge and accept their intuition."
My message for you today is this:
Once again, Spirit is reminding you of the important contributions you are making just by being who you are and your own unique expression of SELF in this world. We are shifting away from the masculine/competitive paradigm that we had been firmly entrenched in as a people; and are shifting toward the feminine/cooperative paradigm that will better serve us, moving forward. This SHIFT is not without moments of discomfort and even angst! Many who are particularly sensitive to the energies of the time have been experiencing self-doubt of late, even as we feel compelled to 'make a difference'. Spirit is telling you today that you DO make a difference and to 'relax about it, already'! Your intuition is strong, and is leading you in the right direction, as you follow where your Soul and heart desire to take you. Cease any 'comparisons' you may have been making between yourself and others! The time for that is long past! The Divine supports each and every Soul in it's own inimitable expression and you are not MEANT to be like those around you! Know that even those who seem firmly rooted in who they are, have moments of self-doubt and lack of confidence, also. Acknowledge your feelings, rather than deny them, and then look for the messages that these feelings hold for you. Maybe they are steering you in a different, more authentic direction. Choose not to RESIDE in self-doubt, but to use it as a guidepost and an opportunity to be REAL with yourself as to whether you are being guided in another direction or simply that you may be intimidated and uncomfortable with the direction that you are headed. Trust in your intuitive feelings (even if we feel nervous about certain circumstances, we can still KNOW that we are meant to pursue them, for our greater good).
Your 'Higher Self', or intuitive self, always wants what is in your greater good---trust in that!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Friday, November 28th/14. Your card slid out of the 'Crystal Ally' card 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 that you have created.
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.
CHAKRA: Sixth (Third-Eye)
AFFIRMATION: I allow my inner voice to guide me on my path."
My message for you today is this:
Sodalite is a great crystal for activating the Third-Eye Chakra, while simultaneously bringing in a sense of calm---what a beautiful energetic combination!
We truly are in compelling energy that is leading us into 2015, where we are feeling the need to get to the 'heart' of why we are here at this time! As I have stated on numerous occasions here in your readings: you have ALWAYS been in your 'purpose' just by being here! What some members of humanity are experiencing, in their spiritual maturation and evolution at this time, is the DESIRE to live more CONSCIOUSLY and SOULFULLY in their purpose! In other words...to make the contributions to humanity, both great and 'small', that they are here to make...to make a difference! You will know that you are 'soulfully in your purpose' when you feel that natural 'high' of pure joy and love. You know what I mean...you have already felt it. What the Divine and Spirit are calling us to do is to reside in that place more consistently and to choose more consciously, because we have matured to that place where we can!
Perhaps you are meant to do readings or healings for people; perhaps you create beautiful paintings or write books with inspiring messages; perhaps you own and operate a crystal shop where you have consciously selected and displayed what you offer there; perhaps you 'have the voice of an angel' and share your gift of song; perhaps you create unique pieces of jewellery that resonate with the love that you created them from; perhaps you are the SUPPORT system that allows any of the former creative contributions to be made! Do not think for one moment that being an accountant; or a teller at a bank; or a clerk in a store; or a house painter; or a housekeeper; or any other such 'mundane' occupations means that you are not coming from a CONSCIOUS and SOULFUL place! You can approach ANY activity consciously and soulfully, and when you do, the energy of that will be felt and will ripple out in ways that you cannot even begin to imagine!
So...where to begin your journey? Sodalite is here to remind you that you have ALWAYS been on it, and that you are now to embark on just another phase of your journey. Remember that where you have been has brought you here, and honour that, but you can not look ahead if you are constantly looking backward. Employ your beautiful Third Eye Chakra to help you to 'see' your way into this next exciting leg of your journey, and call upon Sodalite to support your conscious approach to taking the next steps!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Thursday, November 27th/14. Your card today skipped out of the 'Magical Mermaids and Dolphins' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. I chose this deck because my friend, Patti---who will be assisting me at the 'Your Wellness Expo' this Saturday---is on her way home today to wintry Alberta, from their winter refuge by the ocean in Florida. Patti LOVES her dolphins, and she sees them frequently while at their place in Florida! Welcome back, Patti---can't wait to see you on Saturday, my friend!
Your card is 'Empowerment', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"You're more powerful than you realize. It's safe for you to be powerful.
This card confirms that your inner power wants to surface. You'll use this power appropriately, and you're incapable of abusing it. Your true friends, and the people who really love you, will be happy that you've taken your power back.
Empowerment means that you're no longer willing to see yourself as a victim in any way. It means letting go of all blame with respect to other people, past conditions, or present circumstances. Know that you can be powerful and gentle simultaneously---and still be very effective.
Affirm frequently: "It's safe for me to powerful! I accept my God-given power to be used in the service of light and love.' Then, enjoy the shifts you see around you. Instead of worrying what others think about you, use your power to make the world a better place. You may never feel self-conscious again!"
My message for you today is this:
As Marianne Williamson shares with us in her book, 'A Return to Love'---her reflections upon the teachings shared in 'A Course in Miracles'---embracing self-empowerment can be challenging for many. Her inspiring quote regarding self-empowerment is enlightening:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
~Marianne Williamson, from 'A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course in Miracles~
What if Marianne had said to herself, "Why me? Who am I to write a book reflecting upon the teachings of 'A Course in Miracles'?" Perhaps then, these teachings would not have been brought to the attention of our present-day society, to our great loss! The teachings within 'A Course in Miracles' are relevant and enlightening, even today, and have served us in so many ways---including with the quote above which resonates so strongly for many of us at this time.
We are being compelled and urged, at this time to shine our Light...to present our best selves to the world through revealing and implementing our unique talents and abilities which have been Divinely impressed within us. When you express the best of yourself out into the world, you inspire others to do the same. Realistically, you may encounter those who attempt to dim your Light, but that is their journey, NOT yours! If you are coming from a heart-centered place of loving service; and not from a self-serving Ego; then you are fully representing the Divine aspect of yourself and NOTHING can undermine or dim that Light. To be truly self-empowered means to stand firmly in your own empowerment and NOT in undermining---but rather, in celebrating---the self-empowerment of another.
Step into it, Dear One! Remind yourself that you are here for a REASON. Drop the fear, and make the valued contributions that the Divine intended for you to make!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Wednesday, November 26th/14. Your card is 'Making a Difference', which flew out of the 'Gateway Oracle' card deck, authored by Denise Linn.
Denise's message for the card is this:
"My inner light shines far and wide.
Card meaning: You are making a difference in the lives of others. In ways that you may not even know, many benefit because of you. Your light radiates far and wide.
The Universe wants you to know: Sometimes the smallest actions can have the greatest impact. Perhaps it's a smile shared with a stranger, a kindness extended to an acquaintance, or a favor done for a friend. This is akin to the story about the man who returns beached starfish to the sea. Although he knows that he cannot possibly save them all, he continues his work because it makes a difference to the few he can save. You CAN and WILL change lives. Take steps today that will make a difference in the life of another.
Questions to ask yourself: How can I make a difference? Whose life is positively impacted because of me? What can I do to make even more of a difference in the world?"
My message for you today is this:
The message that Denise shares with us today is a powerful and empowering one. Sometimes we get caught up in the notion that only those standing on a stage in front of a huge audience; or the author of a best selling book; or that person conducting healing sessions or readings for another; are truly making a difference in the world. NOTHING IS FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH! Many have labelled it the 'ripple effect'---that even what would seem to be the 'smallest' of actions then ripple out to have a huge impact. Do not ever discount the effect and impact you can have on the world---you are here for a reason and you matter! Interesting, how we can readily observe how others influence the world in which we live, but it is so difficult for us to see how WE influence those around us! Choose consciously today, to share the best of yourself is some way. When you shine your Light, as only you can, it serves to illuminate and Light the way for those around you to also shine!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Tuesday, November 25th/14. Your card burst out of the 'Goddess Guidance' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is 'Lakshmi ~Bright Future', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Stop worrying. Everything is going to be fine.
Message from Lakshmi: 'This is a kind Universe, and everyone within it is working in your favour. There are no tests, blocks, or obstacles in your way, except your own projections of fear into your future. Take a moment and hush your mind, quieting it from worries and fears. Feel me brush your brow with a new energy of faith, hope and optimism. These energies fuel your exciting present time, as well as all future moments. Why would you wish darkness upon yourself when light shines all around you? Step into this brightness by lightening your thoughts and feelings. You must stop worrying, as this anxiety squelches the goodness that seeks to find you! Clear your heart of fear, and replace those energies with ones that will serve you and your family instead. Refuse to think of anything except your bright today and tomorrow, and I promise you that it shall be so.'
Various meanings of this card: *You and your loved ones will be protected and provided for. * Hold positive thoughts and intentions. * Know that you'll always have your needs met, now and in the future. * Don't worry about money, but instead, visualize abundance. *"
My message for you is this:
The Hindu Goddess, Lakshmi (pronounced LOCK-schmee), is closely aligned with Ganesh; the Hindu deity that presents as an elephant-headed God whose specialty is in assisting us to overcome obstacles. Lakshmi assists us in receiving abundance in our lives in all ways: money, time, knowledge, health, etc. Lakshmi reminds us that the Universe is an abundant one, and that any fears of 'lack' that we may have, are our own. Lakshmi is most often depicted in her favoured environment of lotus flowers and water, which are meant to represent fertility and faith in the abundance available to all; and with elephants, in representation of her strong connection to Ganesh.
Lakshmi has presented today to remind us that 'all is indeed well'. Hold only positive thoughts and expectations as you move forward, knowing that the Universe is here to support you and that the Divine holds only the best of intentions for you. It is up to you how you will approach your current situation---with faith and optimism or with lack of trust and pessimism. We are human, and even if we choose to be optimistic, we may endure moments of worry and anxiety---in those moments, call upon Lakshmi to remind you of the Divine support available to you. She will ease and alleviate your woes, if you ask for her assistance. Your future is bright---focus upon that and know that you are WORTHY of that!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Monday, November 24th/14. Two cards dropped together out of the 'Divine Guidance' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish, to begin your week. Your cards are 'Angelic Being' and 'Alignment'. Cheryl Lee's messages for the cards are these:
~Angelic Being~
"Your Angelic Being has been with you since the day of your birth, and will continue to be with you when you cross through the veil and return home. Your angelic guardian is asking you to look for signs and synchronicities. They are trying to communicate with you now. In a whisper of gentle guidance, you may hear your name being called, or feel the subtle touch of a feather or a tender tickle. You may see a sign on a billboard, a magazine or even on TV. Keep your awareness open to the message they are bringing to you."
~Alignment~
"This is the beginning of a very powerful shift, both spiritually and energetically. This is a complete connection and alignment of your higher-self and physical self. Sometimes this alignment can cause chaos and confusion, but there is no need to worry or feel alarmed with what is happening in your life right now. Everything is moving into perfect order as your spiritual and physical selves align into perfect balance. Once complete, your daily life will be more in harmony with your spiritual path."
My message for you today is this:
How beautiful that these two cards presented together for you today! They both truly support the current cosmic energy that we are in, as outlined by Elizabeth Peru of DeltaWaves.com.au, in her 'Tip-Off Global Energy Forecast', in which she says:
"There is a distinct energy of evolving and ascending to new heights right now. Can you feel it? I advise that you run with this, if you are tuning in. Do whatever you need to and shift your life to one where you get to be more like the eagle or hawk. Rise up and look around at the big picture. When you do, what is life telling you right now? Write it down and then follow and act upon your own sage answers as the week begins..."
Just as Cheryl Lee shared in her message for you about the 'Angelic Beings' card, I LOVE how the Universe employs synchronicity to inform and guide us!!! I had intuitively selected the Divine Guidance deck, and your cards for today had presented before I even 'thought' to look at Elizabeth's message for the cosmic energy of the day---but the cards and Elizabeth's message align brilliantly!
We are, indeed, in a time of alignment and I know that I have been feeling this personally.
I have been feeling urged and guided to 'take it to the next level'---in taking care of my physical Self, and in making the commitment to honour my spiritual Self consistently. My husband and I have travelled extensively in 2014, and while I am certainly not complaining about that; I have come to realize that I need to ALIGN how I will balance and incorporate caring for my physical and spiritual selves when I am not in my usual space and I am out of 'routine'. I need to develop an exercise/nutrition regime; and a spiritual practise; that will 'travel with me', in order to be my best self.
What is so wonderful about the cards that presented for you today, is that the 'Angelic Being' card joined the 'Alignment' card---thereby reminding us that we are supported by the Angelic Realm, including our Guardian Angels, as we strive to live our lives as our best selves!
In what ways are you being urged to bring 'alignment' into your life at this time? Be conscious and be honest with yourself about this! You will likely feel a little 'uncomfortable' when you consider making the changes that will serve you in this way, because coming into alignment requires shifting and adjusting. Keep your vision on your desired outcome, and call upon the Divine support which is ALWAYS available to you, if you just ask! Feel the excitement of shifting into this next phase of your life! Many of the spiritual teachers/advisors/mentors of our time have been saying that we are NOW setting the stage for 2015, which looks to be a time of great spiritual advancement for those who are open and aware. How exhilarating is that?
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Friday, November 21st/14---the day prior to the New Moon. Your card is 'Ear Chakras', drawn from the 'Angel Therapy' card deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Notice messages that appear as sounds, music, and words, from both external sources and within your mind. These messages are real answers to your prayers.
You received this card because the angels have been trying to get your attention. They've heard your prayers and are giving you information and instructions so that you can take appropriate action. You are hearing the angel's messages in various ways: repetitive songs, an overheard conversation, a stranger's out-of-the-blue reassurances, or words that you hear in your mind. The angel's messages are always loving, positive, trustworthy, and constructive.
ACTION STEPS
In a quiet place, where you'll be undisturbed, say the following to Archangel Michael:
'I now ask you to vacuum and clear any lower energies in my physical ears or ear chakras. I am willing to release anything painful that I've ever heard, in exchange for clarity in my ability to hear the voice of love and the angels."
My message for you today is this:
I am so grateful to Doreen for bringing the Ear Chakras to our attention! Although there are a multitude of chakras (energy centres) in our body, most only refer to the seven major chakras centres: the Root, the Sacral, the Solar Plexus, the Heart, the Throat, the Third Eye, and the Crown. Your Ear Chakras lay on either side of your head, just above your eye brows, at a 30 degree angel. They are violet-purple in color, and particularly for those whose major psychic means of receiving information is clairaudience ('clear hearing'), it is important to recognize this chakra. I have always acknowledged the 'power of words' and the Ear Chakras validate this. So, when you are clearing and balancing your chakras, include the Ear Chakras as you do so (they are typically addressed after the Third Eye and before the Crown chakra). Doreen's chakra clearing and balancing meditation CD does include the Ear Chakras, as does mine.
As Doreen pointed out, there's a myriad of ways that your Guides and Angels, and also crossed-over Loved Ones will communicate with you through the Ear Chakras. I would like to share a personal experience I had recently, to illustrate this...
My husband and I were in Arizona on our way to a home decor store that I love to shop at there, when my cell phone rang with a call from our oldest Son back in Canada. Our Son had received some sad news and he called to talk to me about it, feeling hurt and disappointed. Of course, I shared in his pain and was feeling hurt and disappointed also, after the call. Just as we entered the store, which was FULL to the brim with Thanksgiving and Christmas themed decor items, particularly; my attention was drawn to the plaque which is pictured with your card for today's reading. The words on the plaque are a phrase from a song that my beloved deceased Mom (who was also an integral, loving person in my Son's life) used to sing to me as a child, and also to her Grandchildren. I just KNEW that this was my Mom's way of giving a message to me and my Son that everything was going to be alright, and that she still watches over us and loves as, just as she said she would at the time of her passing. I felt such deep gratitude and of course I purchased that plaque, and see it as reminder of my Mom's continued presence in my life and that love never dies.
This is an example of how your Ear Chakras act as messengers in your life---do not restrict yourself to believing that you actually have to 'hear' something in order to receive a message---it may be that something important that you have heard will be called to mind in a number of ways (like a plaque in a store!).
Your role is to be open and to TRUST, ALLOW, and BELIEVE the messages that are being sent to you. And as I have stated on so many occasions, give GRATITUDE for the messages being expressed! It takes work for our crossed-over Loved Ones to lower their vibration in order to communicate with us here in the physical---acknowledge and appreciate that! Gratitude holds a very high vibration, and so to express gratitude places you in a higher vibration also.
Your Ear Chakras are being brought to your attention today for a reason. Pay attention to how your Guides, Angels and crossed-over Loved Ones may be communicating with you through this chakra; and when you receive and acknowledge their message, give thanks!
Blessed be...
