There will be no card readings on Monday, July 20th/15 or Tuesday, July 21st/15, as I will be joyfully teaching my 'Empowering Yourself Through the Akashic Records' course to amazing, beautiful Souls! I am so excited, and looking forward to our time together!
Feeling grateful!
This is your card reading for Friday, July 17th/15. Your card dropped to the floor from the 'Healing Cards' deck, authored by Caroline Myss and Peter Occhiogrosso. Your card is 'Perform every act as if it were your last'. Caroline and Peter's message for the card is this:
"All the spiritual masters tell us to make every decision and choice as if our whole life could be changed because of it. Today, be mindful only of who you are in each and every action...
Marcus Aurelius was a pantheist and Stoic philosopher who believed in the Divinity of the cosmos as a vast, intelligent being with a soul. He stressed the harmony of all things and the importance of resigning oneself to whatever occurred. As Emperor of Rome from 161 to 180, he was also a remarkably moral philosopher-king who hated war and corruption, was magnanimous toward his enemies, and freed many slaves. But his most lasting achievement is probably his 'MEDITATIONS', brief snippets of wisdom, many of which were written while he reluctantly led his army against hordes of invaders. Some of his one-liners sound like they could have been written yesterday: 'Stop talking about what the good person should be, and just be that person.' The maxim on this card is timeless, and captures the goal of putting yourself fully into each moment that all the mystics acknowledge."
My message for you today is this:
How often do we hear from the spiritual mentors/teachers of our time, 'Be in the moment'?
How fascinating that the very words and ideologies that we view as CURRENT were often proclaimed by philosophers and spiritual leaders so very long ago!
Yet, it is my belief that we are, and have been, undergoing a massive shift in consciousness that implies that we, as a collective, are better able to receive and HEAR what is being shared than we were in the past. We are maturing, spiritually.
Due to the heightened energy that we are now experiencing---many have referred to it as a 'quickening'---this reminder to live CONSCIOUSLY is key at this time. This does not in any way imply that we live our lives without taking any perceived missteps, or making any 'mistakes'. It means that we live our lives 'on purpose'---that we pay attention to what is being presented to us and then we consciously choose to ACT rather than to REACT. Can you sense the difference in the underlying energy behind 'action' and 'reaction'? That is what is being brought to your attention in your message today.
You are so supported on this amazing journey of self-discovery and self-determination! The opportunities for this are being offered to us now as they have never been offered before. But we still need to step into it. It takes courage and conviction to live your life in a conscious way that honours who you are at your core. Embrace the opportunity being offered you!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Thursday, July 16th/15 (my awesome hubby's birthday)! I chose the 'Mary, Queen of Angels' deck for your reading today, and didn't 'realize' until I was typing just now about it being my husband's birthday, just WHY I was guided to this deck. Both my husband and I have had experiences during traumatic times in childhood, when Mother Mary has made herself known to us; and we both feel a strong affinity with her gentle, yet strong, maternal energy. So...'naturally' I would be drawn to her deck and her energy on my husband's special day! We are also in the energy of the New Moon, and today is a 22 Master Day numerologically! Wow! (More about this later). The card that flipped out of the deck for you is 'Patience', and the Doreen Virtue, who is the author of this deck, has this message for this card:
"I trust in Divine timing...
God's timing is perfect, as this card reminds you. When you pray for help, that request IS heard and answered. If your prayer involves other people, their freewill decisions influence the timing of the outcome. Heaven knows this, and devises ingenious solutions that arrive at exactly the right moment.
You received this card as a reminder to have patience with God's plans and solutions. If you try to control, force, or push your own agenda, you may miss out on an infinitely better alternative. Ask Mother Mary to help you demonstrate her infinite patience and trust in God's timing."
My message for you today is this:
The current New Moon and 22 Master Day energy is literally propelling you to take action and strive toward manifesting your Soul-based desires. Here is what Elizabeth Peru advises us about 22 Master Days in her 'Tip-Off Global Energy Forecast', that you can access through her website: www.elizabethperu.com:
"22 MASTER DAY: 1+6+0+7+2+0+1+5=22 and 2+2=4
Over the six months from March 29th until late September we are experiencing a period of seventeen 22 MASTER DAYS. This span of 22 Master Days signifies a QUICKENING has arrived on Earth. The months of April to September will be significant for developing new and strong foundations in your life.
...The 22 Days are here to help us BUILD LIVES OF GREATER MEANING, PERSONAL REWARD, DIGNITY AND RESPECT. In this week, where the theme is 'Life Re-Set', today's 22 Master Day is aptly timed, so take great advantage.
The 22 energy is a high master energy, being Angelic (and highly responsible) in nature. The Angelics invoke the energy of 22, which asks for temperance and justice in all ways.
The 22-day also breaks down to a 4 day. The four vibration asks that you utilize a slow and steady approach, applying DILIGENCE AND PATIENCE with all of your tasks. Four is the number of trust and solidarity often challenged by taking a healthy risk from time to time, that's where the 22 comes in to push us along."
I SO APPRECIATE Elizabeth's 'down to Earth' perspective and insights into the prevailing cosmic energies that I have always absolutely FELT AND EXPERIENCED, but do not have the background or knowledge to UNDERSTAND! I was so grateful to have been introduced to Elizabeth's site, which offers the 'Tip-Off Global Energy Forecast' that she publishes weekly, and that can be accessed for a nominal annual fee! I highly recommend her site, if you are highly sensitive to energy and would appreciate guidance and understanding about how best to utilize, rather than 'fall victim to' those energies.
So...again...beautiful validation as to the message that Mother Mary has brought forth for you today! Even as we are being pushed to 'walk our talk' and truly step onto our heart-centered path; we are also being advised that the Universe holds a bigger dream for us than we could even imagine for ourselves! Call upon Mother Mary to assist you in navigating your way through this energy of 'urgency' and to temperate it with a healthy dose of 'patience', in terms of how your dreams and desires will all play out! Just as a Mother sees the great potential in her child, so too does Mother Mary hold that vision of you!
Think back to situations in your past, where you had become frustrated with how life was not moving in the direction or timing that you felt it should; only to see later that the actual outcome was better than what you had been pushing for. Mother Mary is here for you on this day of magnificent potential, to envelop you and gift you with patience and trust in Divine timing, even as she appreciates your enthusiasm!
This is a powerful day of manifestation! Allow yourself to feel and be inspired! By all means, make plans and take action steps! Yet, surrender as to EXACTLY how your plans will play out...hold the knowing that the Universe is INDEED conspiring in your favour.
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Wednesday, July 15th/15. Your card flipped out of the 'Angel Tarot Cards' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine. Your card is a major arcana card (one of 22 cards within the deck that deal with the major themes in our lives), 'The High Priestess ~ Archangel Haniel'. Doreen and Radleigh's message for the card is this:
"You drew this card because the answers you seek lie in your feelings and emotions. Trust your intuition and the power of your natural psychic abilities! Also, pay attention to your dreams and any intuitive messages you receive, as they're accurately guiding you.
There's no need to race into action right now, however. Instead, take time to gain more insight, since things may not be as they appear on the surface. Withdraw from the noise of daily life and ask for guidance from your angels and guides. Everything you need to know will be revealed to you in time; just have patience.
ADDITIONAL MEANINGS OF THIS CARD: Silence is golden. Study spiritual topics. Keep your dreams and desires to yourself. Learn from emotional situations.
ARCHANGEL HANIEL is the goddess-like angel of grace and feminine spirituality (such as intuition and clairvoyance). Like a true high priestess, Haniel will act as your spiritual teacher and advisor to aid you in discerning which feelings and ideas to follow as trustworthy guidance. Call upon Haniel to increase your clarity in connecting with the angels."
My message for you today is this:
As we head into the powerful manifestation energy of tomorrow's New Moon---which will be encouraging us to embrace and honour the intuitive aspect of ourselves---Archangel Haniel presents to support us in this. Haniel's name means 'Glory of God'. Many experience her aura as bluish-white in color, and a crystal said to align well with her energy is Moonstone. How beautifully synchronistic that she has offered her energy to us at this time of the New Moon! It is time to get CLEAR on what your intuition and Higher Self are directing you to do! We will be held in strong manifestation energy, so focus your attention upon what you wish to draw into your life. Yesterday, you were asked to release at the deepest level, what no longer serves you, in order to create the space to invite in what will now serve you. Trust in your emotions as guideposts as to how to best move forward. The pervading energies ask you to acknowledge your deepest desires and longings with clarity and intention. DO NOT doubt in your potential or the possibilities that will be offered you. As a friend and I discussed the other day, to set an INTENTION is much like planting a SEED, while understanding that we cannot orchestrate exactly how that seed will grow...that is for the Divine to determine! So...plant the seed, and nurture it by taking guided action and tending to it, but surrender to exactly how and when it will fully bloom!
We are impacted by the lunar energy of New and Full Moons on 24 hours either side of it's actual occurrence, and each New and Full Moon holds it's own unique qualities. In preparation for the peak of the New Moon tomorrow, begin today to set clear intentions for yourself and focus upon the POSITIVE. You will witness the seed that you have planted sprout and reveal itself to you in ways that you could not even imagine; if you continue to hold positive expectations and TRUST, ALLOW and BELIEVE in a magnificent outcome!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Tuesday, July 14th/15. Your card slipped out of the 'Healing With the Angels' card deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is 'Surrender & Release'. and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"CARD MEANING: Let go, and allow God and the angels to help you. Everything that you release will either be replaced by something better, or will be returned to you healed...
When you hold on tightly to a part of your life that's not working, it has no room to heal. Whether you're unhappy with your love life, finances, career, home, or health, this card asks you to let go. If you hang on to these aspects of your life because of fears such as 'What if I can't find someone or something better?' then the situation will only worsen.
However, if you're willing to open your hands and allow the situation to be freed, one of two situations will occur: Either it will be washed away from you and replaced with a better situation, or the situation will heal in a miraculous way. By drawing this card, the angels ask you to try not to control the outcome of your troubling situation. Let go, and let God help you!"
My message for you today is this:
You may be like me, and prefer to use 'Creator' or 'Source', rather than 'God', in reference to the Divine. 'God' holds such varying connotations imposed by certain factions of humanity and religious sects, over time. The Divine is actually unconditional Love energy, and is present to support us...not to judge or control or punish us...as we navigate our way through this physical experience. So, you will see me use 'Creator' or 'Source' or the 'Divine', rather than 'God', in reference to the 'All'.
The message for you today, as we head into the New Moon on Thursday this week---which will hold the energy of new and empowered beginnings---is to release that which no longer serves you at this juncture of your life, in order to make room for that which will! The extended message is that you are supported in doing so---cosmically and etherically, by the pervading energies and by your Spiritual 'team' of Spirit Guides, Guardian Angels and the Angelic Realm. Consider this analogy: Why struggle to carry a load when there is a wheelbarrow available to you? It is not necessary that you suffer and agonize when moving forward in your life. Allow yourself to be supported, just as a wheelbarrow would support you in carrying the load. In 'carrying that analogy further' (pun intended!), be sure to 'dump' the load that you have carried in your wheelbarrow, when the contents of your wheelbarrow have served their purpose for you. THAT is the energy of the day!
You may find yourself saying: 'But I have done so much releasement work already!' Know and understand that there are levels of releasement, and you are being asked to release at the deepest level at this time. Don't try to 'force' anything---notice that the word 'surrender' is also part of your message today.
As Elizabeth Peru states in her 'Tip-Off Global Energy Forecast' for today:
"The focus now is on personal freedom.
Personal freedom comes when we lovingly and openly look upon our past and any hurts in a reflective and non-judgmental way.
Right now you are recognizing, acknowledging and therefore, releasing any guilt or shame that binds and holds you back.
Simply focus on who you are in this moment with all your glorious soul's potential fully intact. Then use this potential today. Use it your way."
Perfectly stated!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Monday, July 13th/15. Your card slipped out of the 'Manifesting Wealth & Wisdom' oracle card deck, authored by my dear friend, Jaden Sterling. Your card is 'Signs', Jaden's message for the card is this:
"The Universe is reminding you that signs come in many different forms and will come more often when you ask.
ACTION: Ask the Universe to show you signs that you are on the right track regarding your question or situation.
Look for the creative ways the Universe answers your questions.
Acknowledge a sign when you receive it by recording it in a journal.
Be grateful when the signs come and for the information they bring."
My message for you today is this:
Spirit communicates with us in a myriad of ways---as unique as the individuals with which Spirit is communicating! The Divine WANTS to support us here in our Earthly embodied experience---be open and aware of that support being made available to you. Once you consciously open yourself to receiving signs and messages, you will often be in awe of how Spirit makes itself known to you.
My dear friend, that I was so happy to spend time with yesterday, is a highly VISUAL person, and so she 'sees' signs more than anything. Someone who is highly AUDITORY will likely experience signs from Spirit through hearing, primarily. And someone who is CLAIRISENTIENT, or a 'feeler' may receive signs through physical sensations for the most part. Regardless, the key is to TRUST, ALLOW and BELIEVE the signs when they are presented to you.
As Jaden states in his message, you can absolutely ASK for a sign. Then what you must do is SURRENDER into how Spirit will bring that sign to you. This past March, I asked Spirit to give me a CLEAR AND UNDENIABLE sign regarding a venture that is VERY close to my heart. It was integrally essential that I receive validation from Spirit that I was moving forward in the way that I was meant to, as this was a HUGE step for me. I then surrendered myself as to when and how this sign would be delivered. A couple of days later, I went down to the room in my home that is my personal sacred space and is where I conduct my consultations with clients. I had burned incense in the room when I was last in it, and the incense holder was sitting on my reading table. As I sat down, I saw a beautiful red leaf, about an inch tall, standing (stem down) at the end of the burnt incense stick! This was the beginning of March in Alberta, and in winter! We have a walk-out basement, and my room has a large window by my reading table, but the windows in our home had all been long closed up against the snow and cold and there was no 'logical' means of explaining how this real (and still supple) red leaf had found it's way to rest in my incense holder! I couldn't help but see it, also, because I would be moving my incense holder off my table and back to it's usual place in the room. AND my primary Spirit Guide's name is RED LEAF! Not only had Spirit orchestrated a beautiful validation for me that I WAS on the right track, I also understood the message that my Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels were supporting me in this undertaking! I sat and cried in deep gratitude for this perfectly delivered message and sign from Spirit that I could not have imagined into being! That amazing red leaf is now displayed in a small glass jar in my sacred space. It is dry and 'shriveled', and no longer supple; but it serves as a beautiful reminder for me that Spirit will find incredible ways to communicate with us if we ASK and are open to RECEIVING! I say 'Thanks', I say 'Amen'!
Understand that often times the signs that you receive will be subtle, and it is up to you to pay attention. When something draws your attention in the course of your day, such as: a phrase on a billboard as you drive by; a song on the radio; a conversation that you overhear in the check-out line that relates to something you have been 'wondering about'; certain number sequences; the appearance of a feather or a coin (or a leaf!) in an unexpected place; a cloud formation in the sky; an animal in a natural setting; a phone call from someone just as you were thinking of them; or any synchronistic event. These, and others, are the 'signs' that Spirit will employ in communicating with you. How do you know that it is indeed a 'sign'? It draws your attention and focus in the context of your busy day, and you simply have a 'knowing'. Always express gratitude to Spirit for the signs as they present. Gratitude is a powerful manifesting energy, and by expressing gratitude you let Spirit know that you have received and are open to receiving.
I would love to hear from you the ways in which Spirit has made itself known to you...
Your sharing will allow others to see the multitude of ways in which Spirit will relate to and support us here in the physical...
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Friday, July 10th/15. Your card flew out of the 'Spirit Messages' deck, authored by John Holland. Your card is 'Be Proud', and John's message for the card is this:
"It's time to celebrate all that you've achieved, all that you are, and all that you will become! Every once in a while, it's important to stop and acknowledge what you've achieved and to be proud...
We are so proud of you. The Spirit World wants you to stop right now and listen! We want you to honour the hard work you've done and pat yourself on the back. Whether you've moved through a difficult or painful situation, achieved significant success at work, conquered a new skill, learned a favorite sport, or simply that you just let go of everything that was holding you back for your highest good, this card is letting you know how vital it is to honour and acknowledge yourself by feeling proud.
Pause for a few minutes and hold this card. Enjoy the moment while you bask in your own pride, as you let the warmth of that feeling wash over you; and as you do, you feel the sense of accomplishment and smile for the whole world to see. Right now it's all about celebrating your successes. Once again, be proud of how far you have come and have faith in how far you can go!"
My message for you today is this:
This message from Spirit is a beautiful way to close the week! Rather than 'hold this card', as John suggests in his message above, you may lay your hand upon the card in the image here; or simply gaze upon it for a moment, and allow yourself to bask in appreciation of SELF.
Some may say that to take pride in yourself and your accomplishments is 'self-serving'---you bet it is! It is important to honour yourself! Having a healthy attitude of self worth is crucial in approaching your life from an empowered and loving place! How can you TRULY love and honour others if you don't first love and honour yourself? Frankly, too often we spend our time in self-criticism and judgment; rather than in realizing and recognizing our accomplishments and successes. We attempt to keep ourselves small, so as not to seem too 'full of ourselves' or 'conceited'. There is a considerable difference in the energy behind being PROUD and being CONCEITED. Pride is energetically fuelled by self-worth; and conceit is energetically fuelled by a lack of self-worth. When you hold pride in yourself you are confident and positive in your approach to life and your endeavors. When you are boastful you are actually attempting to compensate for a lack of confidence and self-esteem.
So...BE PROUD and do so unashamedly! Take some moments today to pay tribute to YOU and all that you bring to the world! The world would not be the same without you in it and that is the TRUTH! The Divine views you as perfect, in all your imperfections! Afford yourself that same perspective.
Just for today, set aside those niggling little self-criticisms that you sometimes place upon yourself. Set aside any disappointments and even any hurts. Allow today to be about the positives that you have experienced, and reside in that energy. Choose today: to celebrate all that you are, all that you have been, and all that you will become! Honour YOU!
Blessed be...
