Universal Law of Awareness


This is your card reading for Monday, October 24th/16.  Your card today spun 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 Awareness', and the author's message for the card is this:
"The Law of Awareness states that you are able to make conscious use of your inner power only to the extent you are aware that this power exists.  Individuals become aware of their innate inner power first by recognizing the source of that power: the infinite nature of self. You are the infinite experiencing individuality, but as a human being you are unique among all other creations on Earth because you have the ability to be conscious of your infinite nature.  When your awareness is focused entirely on your individuality, and you neglect to align yourself with your connectedness to all life, your power appears limited.  When you expand your awareness to account for the essence of you really are, your power is limitless. You are not just an individual: you are the infinite life force expressing individualization. Concentrate on the unlimited possibilities that are available to you because you are one with all existence.  The Law of Awareness encourages you to become aware of who and what you really are because you will experience your true power in direct proportion to your knowledge of your limitless nature."

My message for you today is this:
Yes...I am a lover of quotes!  I truly believe in the power of the WORD to inspire, comfort, support; and even to hurt!  I have collected quotes that have moved me ever since I can remember...and you will often see various quotes posted around my home, pertaining to what ever happens to be occurring in my life at the time.  This quote seemed to be appropriate for your message today:
"Individually, we are one drop.  Together we are an ocean."  ~Ryunosuke Satoro~
You are--beyond a doubt--a unique expression of the Divine.  Yet, you are 'an expression of the Divine', just as all other aspects of CREATION are!  We have honestly matured (and are continuing to mature) to where we CAN embrace the knowing that--on the deepest level--we are all ONE, and are expressions of that Source.  Rather than being LIMITING, this knowing is so EXPANSIVE in regards to your potential and possibility!  
You are being called right now to see that you have the ability to be so much more than you thought possible...think BIG!  Think of the power of the ocean!  You are apart of that field of infinite potential and your 'soul purpose' is to be an expression source as only you can.
Strive to be aware of all that is being offered to you in terms of opportunities to move into the fullest expression of yourself.  Know that sometimes these opportunities may appear as 'challenge's; but that these challenges are serving you.  They are causing you---from your place of awareness---to become clear about where you are meant to place your energies.  
Be open and aware to moments of inspiration and clarity, for they are coming at you powerfully at this time!
Blessed be...

Listen


This is your card reading for Friday, October 21st/16.  Your card today shot out out of the 'Spirit Messages' oracle deck authored by John Holland.  Your card is 'Listen', and John's message for the card is this:
"You have to be willing to listen if you want to really understand someone.  Now is not the time to be offering advice, but to be a compassionate listener.  To listen fully and intently means to pay attention, not just to what's being said, but to what lies beneath the words. 
We've heard and listened to your requests in the past, so we're bringing this card to you because someone around you needs to be heard now! They're not seeking advice, but they really need to express themselves about how they're feeling and what's going on in their life. What they're seeking is an open, compassionate and non-judgmental listener.
When you're intently engaged in conversation, there's an even energy exchange where both parties can benefit. Those who are talking express what they're feeling, and just by the process of talking, they will often solve the problem or issue by themselves.  Being present and listening to someone who needs your full attention will, in some cases, bring you the answers that you've been seeking for yourself."

My message for you today is this:
Perhaps there is indeed someone in your life at this time who needs to have you take on the role of compassionate listener for them.  Or perhaps you require this of someone in your life at this time.  I love this quote, and it is so applicable to your message today:
"LISTEN and SILENT are spelled with the same letters."  ~Alfred Brendel~
Your message today may also be in reference to your current need to place yourself in a state of active 'listening' in order to receive the messages that Spirit is striving to bring to you at this time.  As we are in the energy peak of the annual Orionids Meteor Shower, the veil is thin, and you are more readily able to access and receive messages from your Spiritual Advisors; including your Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels.  Take advantage of these energies and consciously LISTEN.  
The psychic sense of clairaudience (meaning 'clear hearing') can manifest in a variety of ways to bring us messages from Spirit.  Some ways to receive messages through clairaudience are:
~Hearing a song, or part of a song repeatedly, either on the tv or radio or 'in your head', or seeing the lyrics presented somehow.  Whenever the lyrics to the song, "I love you a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck..." run through my mind, I know it is my deceased Mom making her presence known to me.  This is a song that she sang to me as a child, and also to her grandchildren. Once, when I was in deep distress after receiving a phone call with upsetting news from my son, I walked into a home decor store which was FILLED to the rafters with decor.  Yet, what instantly drew my attention when I walked in the doors was a sign that read, "I love you a bushel & a peck & a hug around the neck"!  I KNEW that that was my Mom letting me know that everything would be ok, in the way that only a Mom can...and I bought that sign then and there, while giving silent thanks to my Mom for the gift of that message from her, when I most needed it!
~Overhearing a conversation between people who are strangers to you, and yet it feels as though what they are saying is exactly what you needed to hear. (This often happens when you are waiting in check-out lines, or are on public transit, etc.)
~When you 'randomly' turn on the tv or radio and the words being said 'speak' to you in regards to something you have been asking for guidance about.  You have the feeling of, 
'I really needed to hear that right now!'
~The phone or doorbell ring, and 'no one' is there.  This happens occasionally at our home on the farm, and our family always responds with "Hi Opa!"  My husband's Dad always loved to play a specialty horn he had installed in his vehicle to announce his arrival whenever he came over; so we just 'know' that Opa now uses the phone and doorbell in our home to make his presence known to us when he 'visits'.  (We have a very long driveway and there is NO WAY that someone could ring the doorbell and then make it out of the yard before we get to the door!)
~Ringing in your ear. This can serve as confirmation...if your ear rings while you are receiving guidance, it is confirmation that you ARE meant to 'hear' this guidance.  Ringing in your ear may also be incoming messages from the higher vibration of Spirit.  Don't get caught up in 'decyphering' what the ringing means; but rather give thanks for the incoming message and know that it will 'come to you' later, often in the form of an 'aha' moment! 
These are but a few ways in which to receive messages from Spirit through 'listening'.  
You are being advised--in whatever capacity applies to you in your life at this moment--to be an ACTIVE LISTENER.  Pay attention: be RECEPTIVE, rather than EXPRESSIVE at this time. 
Blessed be...

Apprehension~ Moving out into the world, Doubt, Fear


This is your card reading for Thursday, October 20th/16.  Your card dropped out of the 'Gaia' oracle deck authored by Toni Carmine Salerno.  Your card is 'Apprehension ~ Moving out into the world, Doubt, Fear', and Toni's message for the card is this:
"It's time to get going. There is nothing to fear.  Take the first step--just do it--and you will find that all will work out for you.  The longer you procrastinate, the harder it will be.  It's understandable that you feel unsure of yourself; the first step is always the hardest. You have much to offer and you will realize this as you move out into the world.  Be brave. Even if you initially make mistakes, you will be well received.  Treat every day as a learning experience.  As your confidence increases, so too will your self-esteem and success.
You are a sincere and beautiful person, do not doubt yourself.
AFFIRMATION:  
I surrender my fear and replace it with love
I surrender my doubt and replace it with confidence
I see myself moving out into the world with ease
I give thanks for all I learn and experience
Each new day is full of possibility."

My message for you today is this:
Today's message really speaks to me personally, as I have recently stepped back into working on the oracle card deck I will be publishing.  While I had been in judgment of myself for not moving forward with it these past MANY months; I now see that the hiatus was necessary so that I could look at all that I had written to this point with 'fresh eyes'.  I must share that I am honestly so excited with what I have completed thus far!  To compose and publish can be very daunting, and I can see that I allowed myself to be overwhelmed by the whole publishing process, for one thing!  I understand now that there were experiences that I needed to have before I was ready to move forward...Divine timing!
Perhaps you have a heart-centered project, or a life change that you are reticent about moving forward with at this time.  For some of you, this message will be in regards to a relationship issue that requires some sort of action on your part in order to bring yourself peace about it.  Whatever the particular issue that comes to mind for you, you are being advised today that some level of apprehension about this is absolutely normal! Yet, if below the apprehension, you hold a KNOWING that you are meant to take action anyways, then stop procrastinating about it and take action!  When you make the conscious decision to move forward with something, despite feeling some anxiety about it, you will find that the Universe will conspire to support you in doing so.  Choose to see the potential and possibilities, rather than the roadblocks.  Pay attention to the circumstances being presented to you that will give you the opportunity to take that step forward.  Do not allow your apprehension to hold you back from taking that step and the steps that will then follow!
Recite to yourself, "I am courage".   Know that you are meant to learn and grow along the way and that there is no such thing as 'the perfect path'.  There are no 'mistakes', only 'learning experiences'---let this knowledge seep in and relieve your apprehension that you might possibly make a 'mistake'.  Let this quote be your mantra for today:
"Remember there are no mistakes, only lessons.
Love yourself, trust your choices, and everything is possible."
~Cherie Carter-Scott~
Blessed be...

Blessings


This is your card reading for Wednesday, October 19th/16.  Your card spun out of the 'Healing With The Angels' card deck, the first angel oracle card deck that Doreen Virtue ever published, in 1999!  Your card is 'Blessings', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"CARD MEANING:  God and the angels are helping you right now.  Continue to ask for their help, and then accept it when it comes (and it always does).
ADDITIONAL MESSAGE:  The angels want you to know that you have extra blessings around you right now.  Perhaps you have recently experienced some challenges, or maybe you are currently asking for extra help.  Either way, the angels surround you now with more Divine love than ever.  Additional angels are with you, giving you an added cushion of love and light.
Sometimes you may feel as if God and the angels have abandoned you.  This card seeks to remind you that they are not gone and that they CANNOT leave you ever.  It is only our fear that makes us blind and mute to the presence of our angels.  Yet your angels can lift away your fears if you will ask and then let them.  You are truly blessed and very, very loved by God and the angels."
  My message for you today is this:
You have certainly been receiving messages of support of late! This does not necessarily mean that you are currently experiencing challenging life circumstances, although you may be. This may simply serve to remind you of the connection that you have with your Spiritual Advisors and that it is important to utilize them in your life.  We have been, and continue to be, in some intense energies.  These energies are urging you to embrace your worthiness and to be the fullest expression of WHO you came here to be.  Likely, you HAVE been experiencing some life-altering events that have been moving you in the right direction (even if it may not always seem so!).  In times of strife AND in times of triumph, it is important to acknowledge the Divine influence in our lives and the support made available to us. Pay keen attention to your inner voice...you are in a powerful place of receiving messages at this time.  The veil is thin.  How have you been experiencing your Spirit Guides,  Guardian Angels, and the Angelic Realm?  Perhaps it is a simple as having the inner knowing that 'all is well' despite current extenuating circumstances. Or perhaps you have witnessed clear signs (such as number sequences, feathers, coins, orbs in photographs, seeing sparkles or flashes of light, angel clouds, lights flashing on and off 'inexplicably', etc.).  Just KNOW that your team is with you...they NEVER leave you! Continue to encourage their ACTIVE presence in your life by being open and aware, and expressing gratitude.  Recall that we humans have free will, and the Spirit world cannot intervene in our lives without our consent, as they are governed by the Law of Free Will. So, you must ask to commune with them.  Your request can be as simple as 'Help!', or you can invoke their presence through prayer and meditation.  There is no wrong or right way---it is all about having the intention to do so.  It is your Spiritual Advisor's mission to be of support to you as you walk your Earthly path. They WANT to commune with us, and it is we who block their communication. Choose now to be open and receptive. You are SO loved!
Blessed be...

All Is Well ~ Archangel Jeremiel


This is your card reading for Tuesday, October 18th/16.  Your card today shot out of the 'Archangel' oracle card deck authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is 'All Is Well ~ Archangel Jeremiel', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"ARCHANGEL JEREMIEL: Everything is happening exactly as it is supposed to, with hidden blessings you will soon understand.
ADDITIONAL MESSAGE:  Sometimes what appears to be a problem is actually an answered prayer in disguise.  When we ask for help, Heaven may dismantle the old to make room for the new.  During this time of change, practise relaxation methods such as yoga, deep breathing, exercise, and meditation. Ask me to make your transition smooth and harmonious for everyone involved.  And know that this change is for the better!
WORKING WITH ARCHANGEL JEREMIEL:  Each archangel has a specific aura color. Jeremiel's is deep eggplant purple. When you see sparkles of dark purple light, this is one way to know that Jeremiel is with you.  Each archangel has a particular type of crystal aligned with their energy, and for Jeremiel, that crystal is the amethyst.  When you wear an amethyst you may feel even closer to Jeremiel's kind and loving energy."

My message for you today is this:
You have received so many messages along this same line, of late!  Clearly, the Divine wishes you to really 'get' this message!  Change is inevitable, as life just does not remain stagnant; but we are currently experiencing an accelerated tempo of change. This is going to continue for the next while, and the best that we can do is to first know that this change is for our greater good--no matter how 'uncomfortable' some aspects of it may feel, at times. We can also call upon the support that is made available to us by the Divine in moving through this time of transformation with greater ease and grace.  Archangel Jeremiel, whose name means 'mercy of God', has stepped forward for you today to bring the vibration of 'harmony' to all that is transpiring in your life experience.  That is this Archangel's vibration, and specialty.  I personally also refer to the crystal, Amethyst, as the 'harmony' stone, because of the energy that it shares with us.  No coincidence, then, that Doreen finds that the Amethyst crystal aligns energetically with Archangel Jeremiel's energy.  You are being advised today to hold the knowing that 'all is well' firmly in your heart; and from that stance to follow the guidance being given to you by your Spiritual Advisors.  Call upon Archangel Jeremiel to be with you also, at this time of powerful transformation and evolution.  Recall that the Archangels have the ability to bi-locate, and can be with multiple Souls simultaneously; so you are not taking Jeremiel away from another, by calling her to you. 
Today may feel like a 'cocooning' day for you, where---despite where you are physically---you feel very introverted and 'internal', and as though it is challenging to be fully engaged in the world and what is happening around you.  Allow yourself to 'go with this', and do not attempt to pressure yourself into interacting if you don't have to.  Archangel Jeremiel is wrapping you in her calming energy.  Allow yourself the quietness you may crave today, and take some time to 'rest in the stillness of your breath' (I LOVE this phrase, shared with me years ago by my yoga instructor!).  The impending change need not be feared, but rather welcomed...in truth your Soul has been 'working' toward this, and you are so supported! 
All is well...
Blessed be...

Rebirth


This is your card reading for Monday, October 17th/16, the day following that intense Super Full Moon!  Your card today slipped out of the 'Path of the Soul' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  Your card is 'Rebirth', and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"Now is the time for quiet retreat and rest.  It is a wonderful opportunity to nourish your heart, mind and soul.  The Universal Mother has taken you into her womb in preparation for a rebirth.  You are being called to rediscover yourself.  Take a clear evaluation of your life, relationships and your own self worth.  Take time away in solitude. During this time of reflection, you may notice things that no longer serve you simply fall away. Things will change during this powerful process. It's OK. Everything is exactly how it should be."

My message for you is this:
WOW!  This is the PERFECT card to present for you in the prevailing energies!  I have said here many times that energy is in FLOW, and therefore we feel the energies of New and Full Moons on either side of the day that they actually occur.  We remain today in the residing energy of yesterday's Super Full Moon, and what a powerful catalyst for change it was! 
Know that the birthing process requires an element of 'letting go'.  When in the physical act of giving birth there is the parallel action of 'pushing' and 'letting go' simultaneously.  Such a powerful dynamic!  No wonder giving birth has such a sacred feel to it; when such supposedly 'opposing' actions (as pushing and letting go) actually compliment one another in the creation of something that is miraculous! 
Having been so supported in the energies of Super Full Moon and the other cosmic influences yesterday in RELEASING what no longer serves our highest and greatest good, we are now inviting in that which WILL serve us in this way.  This means that you will likely be experiencing some profound change happening in your life over the next while...a 'rebirth' of sorts, as Cheryl Lee puts it.  Know that this will not occur without some 'birthing pains', and that your role is to continue with the birthing process regardless, knowing that, as Cheryl Lee shares:  "It's OK. Everything is exactly as it should be."  When the physical process of giving birth has begun for a woman, for example, she cannot decide part way in that she doesn't want to continue with it (although many have expressed that while in childbirth, for sure)!  What she CAN do is turn to the assistance and support that is available to her to give birth.  And so it is for you.  Your Guides and Guardian Angels---your entire Spiritual 'Team', in fact---are there to support you through this time of transition, and their omnipotent vision allows them to see that all is occurring for your greater good.  Yet, you must ASK for their assistance due to the Universal Law of Free Will.  This is a beautiful movement forward for you.  In truth, we are actually rebirthing as a collective, although that may not seem evident in all that is occurring on the world stage---part of the 'birthing pains' alluded to earlier.  Today, step courageously into your own self worth.  You are moving toward the authentic expression of WHO you came here to be.
Blessed be...

Moonlight Goddess


This is your card reading for Friday, October 14th/16.  Your card today skimmed out of the 'Gaia Oracle' card deck, authored by Toni Carmine Salerno.  Your card is SO aptly 'Moonlight Goddess', on this day leading up to the Super Full Moon this upcoming Sunday!
Toni's message for the card is this:
"~Repressed Emotions, Healing, Reflection~
The Moonlight Angel depicted on this card is here to reflect back to you the repressed emotions you have stored inside you.  She is here to heal you through your dreams. But in order for this healing to take place, you must pour out your heart and express how you truly feel.  Do this for yourself and for others.  Remember that all that you repress not only affects you, it also affects those around you, especially those you love the most.  It is safe to acknowledge your feelings, it is alright to cry---just surrender and let it all go.  You are surrounded by love and healing energies of the Goddess. You are externally loved and eternally protected.  In the coming month, you will reflect on the past, you will give thanks and let go of old hurts and disappointments.  Only the loving memories you will keep inside your heart.  Then, once the chambers of your heart are yet again full of light, a new season begins---a new journey, a new joy, a new passion!
AFFIRMATION:
I give thanks for the healing
that is taking place now in my life
I express all I feel honestly and lovingly,
without fear or apprehension
I am safe---I am loved 
I am one with the Goddess
I am one with the Earth and all creation."

My message for you today is this:
This is an EXCELLENT card and message to present for you as we head into a very powerful Super Full Moon on Sunday, October 16th.  You may very well be thinking as you read the message above, 'WHAT??? MORE RELEASING? REALLY?!?'  It is certain that we have done A LOT of releasing in 2016---the 'year of completion', numeroligically speaking. 
Being advised to be open to releasing, yet again, in no way implies that you haven't been making movement forward!  Your messages this past week have indeed indicated that you have been moving ever closer toward your desired goals. We are now clearing at the DEEPEST levels.  Remember that I have stated here previously that energy is not 'clap on/clap off'---energy is in FLOW.  Therefore we feel the New Moon and Full Moon energies on either side of the day that they actually occur, and this Full Moon is a particularly intense one, being the first of 3 consecutive Super Full Moons to close out 2016 (a Super Full Moon occurs when the Earth is at it's closest monthly proximity to the Earth at the same time as it is Full, which means that we feel the energies more intensely here on Earth).  We ourselves are energetic beings who are always in a state of evolving, and so we will never be totally 'done' with releasing...it is part of the pattern of our evolution and growth.  Yet, each and every time that we DO consciously release, we absolutely make room for more Light and we increase our vibration and thereby our potentiality for authentic expression of WHO we came here to be. 
I SO appreciate Toni's message above: "Remember that all you repress not only affects you, it also affects those around you, especially those you love the most."  This is so very true, and something that we rarely think of!  We often assume that 'working on ourselves', and taking care of ourselves is a 'selfish' act.  The perspective that Toni shares about this is the actual Truth of it---those we love are absolutely positively impacted also, when we strive to be the best version of ourselves!  If you take on no other part of the message today, please receive this and know it to be true! 
I encourage you to acknowledge any residual pain and hurt that may present for you over these next few days, and to consciously release it---perhaps in some form of ceremony, if that feels right for you.  I know that I will personally be taking part in a releasement ceremony on Sunday, as the energies of the Super Full Moon will support and encourage my releasement.  Honour yourself by giving yourself some time in solitude, when you can. 
You are preparing for, and 'making room for' some wonderful things to come into your life!
Blessed be...
