Manifest

This is your card reading for Tuesday, May 12th/15.  Your card skimmed out of the 'Yoga Inner Spirit Reflection' card deck, authored by Angela Wiens. I met Angela, who was conducting the daily yoga sessions, out at the Vancouver Island retreat with Panache Desai that I attended in August, 2014 and we felt a strong connection to one another!  I selected Angela's deck for today's reading because I will be gifting a copy to my dear friend today for her birthday!  Your card is 'Manifest', and Angela's message for the card is this:
"All is possible when I manifest from spirit.  I observe and release my limiting beliefs so I can imagine more than I thought possible.
REFLECTION:  What do I want to manifest in my life?"

My message for you today is this:
'Change your thoughts and your change your world.'  I have this quote displayed on my wall downstairs.  I have long held the belief that what we focus upon expands and that we have the ability to manifest what we wish to draw into our lives through the power of thought and focus and INTENTION.  But I have to share with you an adjunct to that perspective that Panache Desai has revealed for me, that resonates with me, also.  Panache expounds in the 'Tracking Our Thoughts' chapter of his book, 'Discovering Your Soul Signature', that:
"If our thoughts created our reality, we'd all be in very big trouble.  Just imagine if your every thought became real. 'I hate myself and wish I were dead. I hate this other person and wish she were dead.  I think I have cancer.  I don't have enough money to pay the bills'...
But the truth is that our thoughts---without being backed up by emotion---have no power. They have no juice.  Only when a thought is consistently accompanied by a feeling does it yield any control over your life."
Panache says that emotions are energy in motion.  It is the energy that you attribute to the thoughts that empower them and that is how you utilize them in assisting you to manifest. That is why we are advised to FEEL the joy, satisfaction, pride, etc. of having drawn into our life that which we wish to manifest BEFORE it is being experienced in our reality here in the physical.  The energy of the emotions that you attach to your thoughts and desires is what actually draws that experience to you.  It sounds complicated, but it is very simple.  As you sit with the thoughts about what you desire to bring into your life experience, allow yourself to FEEL that experience in the present moment.  
Do not become your own 'thought police' as Panache describes it...that is futile.  It does not serve you to be self-critical for the thoughts that enter your mind and to do so is just a waste of energy.  There is another popular idiom these days that says, 'What you resist persists'. The more you try to deny certain thoughts, the more they pop into your head.  Rather than resist them, just allow them to float on through, without self-recrimination.  Then, when you desire to manifest, consciously choose where you will place your attention and spark that attention with the fuel of the emotion that accompanies it for you.  That is the best recipe for manifestation right there! As you create your vision board, for example (if you choose to do so), feel the emotions that the images evoke for you.  As you plant the seed of manifestation, feel as you will feel when your seed is fully grown and in radiant bloom.  You get the picture...  
The Universe is abundant and it is working in your favour.  Be open and accepting of that.
Your thoughts and your emotions are a gift from the Divine and are not meant to be 'conquered', but rather utilized, in assisting you to best navigate this Earthly experience for your own greater good!
Blessed be...   

Nemetona ~ Insight

This is your card reading for Monday, May 11th/15.  I am excited to be using my new deck, authored by Velva Dawn Silver-Hughes, which she launched at the Spring Fling event I attended this past Saturday, hosted by my dear friends Cindy Smith & Jaden Sterling! Velva Dawn was a speaker at this event and I felt an instant connection to her!  Her deck is entititled 'Awakening of the Divine', and there are 45 cards in the deck---each aligned with a Goddess.  Your card today is 'Nemetona ~ Insight', and Velva Dawn's message for the card is this:
"CRYSTAL ~ Azurite
Do you have a sacred space in your home?  Do you have an altar in your home?  Have you connected to the sacred space within your heart?  Do you feel called to protect sacred lands on Earth for environmental health?
Nemetona is the goddess who will help you connect with the Divine so that you may gain insight in your life.  She is a Celtic goddess whose name represents 'sacred land.'  She watches over and protects sacred sites around the planet.  Nemetona is very connected to nature, the elements, and the Divine.  She will also help you create a divine altar to represent your dreams and goals.
You may have drawn this card as Nematona is affirming that it is important that you have your own sacred space in your home.  This can be an altar where you have your own special crystals, photos of loved ones or animals that you are praying for health.  In this space you may wish to place candles that you can light with intention.  You may also place sacred objects that you have gathered from sacred sites around the world, and much more.
Your sacred space can be an entire room in your home that is intended for you to have a supported environment to become still and go into your heart space.  This space can be gridded with crystals, divine energy and fresh flowers to lift the vibration when you are releasing.  
Nemetona is also inviting you to connect with the sacred space within your soul.  Connect to your inner wisdom, divine light and sacred blueprint to begin manifesting a life of ease and grace.
This can also be an affirmation to take action and protect sacred lands on the Earth from being overpopulated and overused in any way that isn't supportive of our divine Mother Earth.
CRYSTAL HEALING ~ Please place the blue azurite crystal on your third eye, closing both of your physical eyes which allows your inner sight to adjust and become focused.  Please turn your energy within and invoke the essence of the Azurite to help to see what it is that you are ready to see.  This crystal will also lend us the inner sight to perceive where our motives are based.  This is a very powerful crystal for awakening your clairvoyance.
AFFIRMATION ~ I am divinely connected to my intuition, honoring and trusting all that it is trying to tell me.  I am a divine being who is clairvoyant, clairaudient, clairsentient, and claircognizant."

My message for you today is this:
When you consciously create a sacred space---whether within yourself, or outside yourself--you are honouring the Divine.  You are notifying the Universe and Spirit that you desire to make that CONSCIOUS CONNECTION.  It's the difference between having fleeting thoughts run through your mind about a friend that you'd really like to connect with, and actually picking up the phone to call him/her.  When you consciously choose to create sacred space, you are in essence 'making the phone call'!  You are taking action!
Understand that in creating sacred space, you are not only honouring the Divine, but you are also honouring yourself.  When you strive to live your life consciously, and to utilize all that the Universe and the Divine offers you in terms of support and guidance, you will find your life enhanced in unbelievable ways!  
I had a small altar in my bedroom for many years...although I would not have called it an 'altar' at the time.  It was my late paternal Grandmother's old Singer sewing machine and stand that we had had refinished and I had placed on it items that were significant to me. These included: my late paternal Grandfather's tobacco pipes (their scent still brings back beautiful memories of him), a framed photo of my 3 children, a black bear (my power animal) candle holder, a stuffed bear that my husband gifted me to honour my power animal, a large dish of my collection of crystals (I was very private about my love for and interest in crystals at that time, so I kept them hidden away in my bedroom...now you will see crystals EVERYWHERE in my home!), an etched wooden box gifted to me by my late father-in-law that I filled with special notes from my children over the years, a small bouquet of red leaves to honour one of my Spirit Guides, and a 'Dreams and Wishes' box that I placed notes in occasionally.  All that is required when you create your 'altar' or place of honouring, is that you CONSCIOUSLY choose what you place there.  Understand that your place of honouring will morph and change and evolve, just as you will...  I now have a room in our basement that is my sacred space and it is where I conduct readings for others and it is also my retreat when I want to get centered.  Having said that, the ABSOLUTE BEST place for me to make a conscious connection is out in the coulee on our farm amidst the trees and grass, the wildflowers, the water in the dug-outs and creek...and there is a grouping of large rocks on the hillside that I often stop at on my walks to spend some time in peaceful reflection. Mother Nature offers us a multitude of opportunities to experience sacred space...she provides the incredible backdrop, and all that is required of us is to take some moments to BE in that space!  Call upon the goddess Nemetona to assist you in consciously connecting and in tapping into the insight that is always available to you.  Utilize the crystal, Azurite, to assist you, also...
Blessed be...

Kyanite ~ Inner Bridges

This is your card reading for Thursday, May 7th/15.  Your card skimmed out of 'The Crystal Ally Cards' deck, authored by Naisha Ahsian.  Your card is 'Kyanite ~ Inner Bridges', and Naisha's message for the card is this:
"Kyanite has come to you to aid you in making those inner and outer connections that are necessary for your development.  Perhaps a new relationship or opportunity is moving your way which will aid you on your path.  Or perhaps you are being asked to 'make the connection' between disparate aspects of your life.  
All events and circumstances in our lives are a silent dance that the Universe orchestrates for our highest good.  Every coincidence or happenstance is actually a carefully planned event that connects you to your next level of learning.  Beneath every event and circumstance is the hand of the Divine, co-creating with you in your life.
Kyanite is sending you a message that the obstacles that you see on your path will soon be overcome.  New bridges will be built that will carry you over difficulty, and will allow you to perceive your connection to the Divine.
CHAKRA:  Sixth and Crown
AFFIRMATION:  The Universe is working to connect me with my highest good."

My message for you today is this:
Kyanite is a very high vibration crystal that is aligned with the Third-Eye and Crown Chakras...it will support you in accessing your 'Higher Self'...the intuitive aspect of you.
Now is the time to pay keen attention to what your 'gut' is telling you.  The cosmic energy is very hectic these days and you may be feeling overwhelmed with 'what is on your plate' right now.  You feel intensely that change is about and perhaps you are feeling a lack of direction as to what your next step should be.  Be your own calm amidst the storm.  Allow yourself to just get still and be aware of what the Universe is presenting to you. Just BREATHE...  Rather than feel overwhelmed, allow the synchronicities and 'coincidental events' to lead the way.  You may not notice these synchronicities if you allow yourself to become embroiled in all the external noise.  If you have a piece of Kyanite, carry it or wear it today to assist you in 'being in the moment' and in sorting through all the perceived 'pressures' that you may feel today.  Allow yourself to step out of the chaos (because the chaos is really only an illusion that you have created in your mind) and know that that there is time enough to deal with all that you feel that you must deal with, one task at a time.  It is when we compile an extensive 'to do' list, that we can feel overwhelmed.  Focusing upon 'the list' itself, actually detracts from working your way step by step through the list!  Allow the energy of Kyanite to assist you in understanding that the Universe is indeed working in your favor, and to relax into that.  Take guided action...one step at a time... In this way, you work WITH the energies that are there to support you, rather than fighting against the tide.
Blessed be...

Universal Law of Abundance

This is your card reading for Friday, May 1st/15.  Your card sailed out of the 'Universal Laws of Conscious Creation' fractal art deck, authored by Lara Solara, Dana Da Ponte and Marlene Chapman.  Your card to close out the week is 'Universal Law of Abundance', and the author's message for the card is this:
"The Law of Abundance states that supply is unlimited because the source of all life is infinite.  The abundance of the Universe is easily witnessed in nature: the countless variety of animals, plants, birds and bugs, the abundance of stars in the sky, and the never-ending circle of life all demonstrate infinite supply.  Although nature constantly and consistently produces more than enough, an individual must harmonize with abundance to partake in it. Thoughts and feelings of abundance align you with the abundance of the Universe. Thoughts and feelings of lack block you from the abundance of the Universe.  This card is reminding you that abundance is always present, and the Universe is ever ready to offer an unlimited supply of whatever you desire.  If you are experiencing lack in an area of your life, it is because you have consistently believed there isn't enough of whatever it is you want. 
Conceptualize the abundance the Universe has to offer and watch your belief in limits vanish. "

My message for you today is this:
In the words of author, teacher and lecturer, Esther Jno-Charles: 'What you focus on expands. So focus on what you want, not what you do not want.'  In order to draw abundance on all levels and in all aspects (love, health, relationship, finances) into your life, you must first believe that abundance is available to you.  This sounds so simple and yet we often unconsciously block the abundant Universe through our beliefs about our own worthiness or the energy we give to believing that all that we desire is actually available to us.  It's as though we are frightened that if we 'dare to dream' then we may suffer such deep disappointment.  Your message today is that it is IMPERATIVE that you 'dare to dream', in order to attract the abundance of the Universe to you!  The seed in the ground doesn't doubt that the soil surrounding it is nurturing, nor that the sun and rain will be sufficient to nurture it's growth and eventual bloom.  Your optimism and trust that there is enough for ALL, and that you are WORTHY of receiving is what will energetically allow that abundance to come to you.  Everything is energy, and the Universe responds to the energy that you emit.  It is NOT EGOIC to expect abundance in your life...when you live an abundant life, you inspire and encourage others to reach for that abundance, also.  When you come from the place of understanding that your receiving Universal abundance in no way diminishes the potential for others to also receive abundance (quite the opposite, actually), you help to create a beautiful energetic cycle of positive expectations and interaction. As stated in the card message, Nature is a perfect example of the limitless potential and abundance of the Universe.  One solitary apple seed can potentially create a whole orchard...how amazing is that?  Consciously choose to see the world as abundant, and 'focus on what you want'. 
TRUST, ALLOW, BELIEVE!  
Blessed be...
