This is your card reading for Wednesday, November 9th/16. Your card skipped out of the 'Awakening of the Divine' oracle card deck authored by Velva Dawn Silver-Hughes. Each of the cards in this deck is aligned with a goddess and a crystal. Your card today is 'Isolt ~ Infinite Self-Love' and Velva Dawn's message for the card is this:
"Crystal: Turquoise
Do you love yourself? Do you completely trust the wisdom that can guide your path?
Do you see the beauty in others but not in yourself? Are you ready to fall in love with YOU? Do you really know who you are? What do you love to do?
Isolt is a Celtic goddess. She is associated with true undying eternal love for yourself that can be amplified when you are outdoors in nature among the tree and flower spirits. She can also help you connect with any deceased loved ones whom you are wishing to communicate with.
Our heart chakra is a vital energy center that naturally closes down when it is wounded. Many of us receive wounds through the many different experiences in our lifetime from birth until death. If our heart chakra becomes clogged with scars from our wounds, then this energy center can't flow properly and you will develop a dis-ease associated with the organs and systems that are in the chest area, arms and hands.
Isolt is inviting you to begin falling in love with the depths of your soul. She is asking you to begin falling in love with the depths of your soul. She is asking you to begin looking into the mirror each day and to say one positive thing about yourself for 21 days. This will begin to create a new cycle of deep self-love to awaken within. Isolt wants you to get a dozen pink roses and put them by your bed. Give Isolt permission to work on your heart chakra each night to begin removing the mask of self-doubt, self-judgment, lack of self-beauty, and any pain connected to your infinite self-love.
Our heart is like a rose, it has many petals to open, connecting you to the center of your own origin and finding your path to enlighten yourself and others on this planet Earth. As you release the pain, fear and lower energies you will begin to see yourself and others from a higher perspective. You will be able to see the light within their soul connecting to yours and to the infinite source.
AFFIRMATION: My true essence is complete and the love that I have for myself is infinite and abundant. Breathe in love and breathe out any negative thoughts that I am storing in my heart. I am love."
My message for you today is this:
I took the picture of your card today with 2 of the crystal singing bowls that I have in my sacred room. The pink bowl is infused with Rose Quartz and the blue bowl is infused with Turquoise. These are beautiful energetic tools and I always play them in my sacred space when I prep the room for Akashic Records consultations that I am doing, or other spiritual work. The Rose Quartz bowl is toned to the Heart/High Heart Chakra, and Rose Quartz being the crystal of unconditional Love, this is an amazing vibrational pairing. The Turquoise bowl is toned to the Throat Chakra...our communication center and it's light blue color is the color of the Throat Chakra, so this is another amazing vibrational pairing. There is also a raw piece of Rose Quartz and a raw piece of Turquoise pictured with your card today.
While Velva Dawn has intuited that the crystal Turquoise aligns well with the goddess, Isolt's vibration; I believe that Rose Quartz would align well with her vibration, also, being the crystal of unconditional Love. The combination is dynamic! You are being supported by these crystals in embracing self-love and in communicating this from a place of self worth.
You may feel guided to lay quietly with a Rose Quartz crystal on your Heart Chakra and a Turquoise crystal on your Throat Chakra and to ask that these crystals and the goddess Isolt assist you in moving any blocks you may have in these 2 chakras to being fully open to expressing love of Self. To love yourself is NOT egoic; but rather serves all that you are in relationship with. True authentic self-love means honouring the Divine within you and all that you came here to be...including those aspects of yourself that you may consider 'less than'. We have been, and will continue to be, in some pretty intense energies. Love yourself through all that may be coming your way---the 'good' and the 'bad'. Love is the highest vibration of all. You are a spark of the Divine. You ARE love...
Blessed be...
There will be no card reading Tuesday, November 8th/16...I will be happily busy with Akashic Records Consultations.
I am sharing with you a synopsis of 'The Four Agreements', which is an impactful book written by Don Miguel Ruiz, that I read early on in my spiritual journey. These are powerful tenants to strive to live by in living a conscious life.
I have ALWAYS held the WORD as powerful, energetically and so that tenant feels natural to me, although I admit in being human I have not followed this tenant without fail.
The most challenging for me, has been 'Don't take anything personally'. I used to feel that if someone directed something TOWARD me, then it was ABOUT me, and so then how could I NOT take it personally? I now understand (and have had some painful learnings in this, I must say) that often what others project upon you speaks more to who they are and where they are coming from, than to who you are. This is true in regards to loving actions sent your way as well as challenging or hurtful actions.
Which of these agreements do you feel in greatest alignment with in your life and which do you find most challenging? No self-judgment here...we are all on a journey to being our best selves. It is doing so from a conscious place of self-discovery and self-empowerment that we best honour the journey and the Divine who created us...perfect in our imperfections!
Love and blessings,
Linda
This is your card reading for Monday, November 7th/16. Your card today floated out of the 'Wisdom of the Oracle' deck, authored by Colette Baron-Reid. Your card is 'A Change in the Wind', and Colette's message for the card is this:
"ESSENTIAL MEANINGS: A sense that unseen change has been initiated; preparation for a storm; awareness that your plans are not on firm ground; feeling a shift; uncertainty about which direction the winds will blow.
THE ORACLE'S MESSAGE: It's human nature to yearn for certainty and resist change---to want the world to remain consistent like a zebra's stripes. Yet nothing in human experience is black and white, nor will anything remain static. The one thing guaranteed is change. Now is a time of transformation as outer conditions are temporarily moving out of sync with your desires and expectations. Stay the course and even storms serve to clear the air, scatter seeds, and nourish the soil for better things ahead. Life is about to get interesting. Anticipate it with curiosity as you wonder what is coming in on the shifting winds. The unknown is where the magic lies."
My message for you today is this:
Change is always occurring. Yet, we definitely go thorough periods in our lives where the change seems to happen at a more accelerated pace than usual. Typically, the winds of change have been actively happening around us, even if we don't 'see' the shifting of the sands. Then suddenly it seems as though we are in the midst of gale force winds and that massive changes are occurring; when in fact the undercurrents of change were occurring all along.
We seldom consciously affect change in our lives unless we are uncomfortable in some way. Even if we are unhappy or dissatisfied with a particular aspect of our life, we don't take action to change things consciously until we have reached a motivating level of frustration or even rage, in some instances. And then, once we energetically get the ball rolling to affect the change we desire, we don't always 'see' the physical manifestation of that change in the time frame we had thought we would, even though there is underlying change occurring.
You are being advised today not to take on the role of 'victim', but to understand that even somewhat stormy times in our lives serve us, as Colette shares in her message. I love her analogy to how storms 'clear the air'...we have all experienced this...how lovely the air smells after a rain storm; and how clean and cleared and open to the new everything feels.
I have shared with you in the past a favorite quote that I fall back on when I am in times of rapid change in my life: "May my Spirit flow freely down the river of change." To me this quote is about surrender, while still being the 'captain of my vessel'.
Change is inevitable and is what keeps life dynamic and interesting. I took a picture of your card today with a beautiful piece of Petrified Wood that I picked up at Holbrook, Arizona, where there is an incredible Petrified Wood Forest. Petrified Wood holds a very 'grounding' vibration, and this piece in particular---with the red colors (the color of your Root Chakra, which is the energy center of safety and security)---is VERY grounding. I share this with you to support you in feeling grounded and centered if you are experiencing some type of shift or change within your life or have that soon coming into your experience. Even if we ourselves have initiated a change in our lives, it can still feel a little 'shaky' when it happens. Petrified Wood is a powerful stone to support and assist you in feeling solid and connected, rather than that your feet are being swept out from beneath you! It's all good. This is POSITIVE movement forward! While it may seem as though we are never fully in control of what is happening around us; we are absolutely in control of how we will choose to experience and navigate our way through it all! The Universe IS conspiring in your favour, when you strive to live your life consciously.
Blessed be...
There will be no card reading for Friday, November 4th/16.
I will be spending the morning with a beautiful Soul and a Light in my life, doing an Akashic Records Consultation for her. I so appreciate any time we spend together! Grateful!
As you may know, this past year and a half has been a happily hectic---and at times, intense---year in my personal life. I am blessed to be the mother of 3 adult children. Our oldest son and his wife gifted us with becoming grandparents in August/15. Our second son and his Brazilian wife moved back to Canada in the spring of 2015, after having lived over 4 years in Brazil. Our youngest daughter married her Brazilian fiancé in June 2105 in a small civil ceremony, and my husband and I flew to Brazil to witness this beautiful event. Then our daughter and her husband made the decision to move to Canada, also, and we hosted their Canadian marriage celebration here on our farm in July of this year. Those who moved back from Brazil have lived with my husband and I as they transitioned into their new lives in Canada. So, our family has been through a year of huge, wonderful changes--including intense preparation (building a ceremony deck and ceremony pergola and a reception building, etc.) for the wedding celebration; and hosting the guests who traveled here from Brazil and stayed with us. It's been a very busy time in our family's life!
This meant that I did not often have the time or space available to offer Akashic Records Consultations or teach the courses that I love to teach. That is all shifting, and I am now able to devote more of my time to my spiritual teachings and to Akashic Records consultations.
So here is what I have been inspired to offer to you:
I have been doing Akashic Records consultations for 5 years and I have been advised that it is long past time to increase what I charge for this service that is joyful for me to provide. The fee was $95/hour and will be $115/hour. If you book an Akashic Records Consultation with me in the month of November, the fee will remain $95/hour...this is until the end of 2016 only. As I have a limited number of appointment times available for the month of November, your appointment booked in November may fall in December at the old rate. If you book in December for a December (or later) appointment, the fee will be $115/hour.
Remember that I offer Gift Certificates that can be applied to products and/or services, also.
You can contact me through email at: ccwithlinda@gmail.com or by private messaging me on my Facebook page: Conscious Connections With Linda.
I so look forward to our time together!
Love and blessings to you,
Linda
This is your card reading for Thursday, November 3rd/16. Your card today flipped forcefully out of the 'Energy Oracle' card deck, authored by Sandra Anne Taylor. Your card is 'First Chakra, Archangel Michael' and Sandra's message for the card is this:
"First Chakra, Archangel Michael
~Stability and Security~
Michael holds a beautiful globe of red energy at the first chakra, which is located at the base of the spine. This is the place where your sense of stability and security is stored. When this card is upright, it reveals that your energy is flowing freely regarding these issues. Even if you've had problems with feeling secure in the past, these challenges are beginning to be resolved at this time.
Archangel Michael is with you, bringing you strength and personal stability. You are capable of taking action and moving forward on your path, so allow yourself to feel increasing faith in your own power and security now and always.
AFFIRMATION: My first chakra is open to its perfect, healthy state. I am strong, stable, safe, and secure. The Archangel Michael guides and supports me always."
My message for you today is this:
The photo of your card today is taken with a beautiful Amethyst crystal piece that I have that is overlaid with Calcite. Notice the natural white Calcite heart formation to the left of the card, and the Calcite 'spike' formations above the card. I personally have always felt an energetic affinity between the crystal Amethyst and Archangel Michael, which is why I pictured the card with this piece today. Many say that the crystal Sugilite aligns very well energetically with Archangel Michael's energy and so I have draped my Sugilite pendant over the right hand corner of the card here. Archangel Michael's name means 'He who is like God' and Archangel Michael is considered the supreme protector. I call upon him to protect myself and my family when we are traveling, and I call upon him to protect me energetically. It is Archangel Michael who assists us with cutting etheric energy cords. I personally use Archangel Michael as my 'gatekeeper' in regards to the clients and students who come to me. I ask that 'those whom I may serve and who will also serve me, come before me', and trust that he will guide this to be so. You can also call upon him to bring you courage and strength and to assist you with your life purpose.
Recall that the Archangels are light-beings and have the ability to bi-locate---to be in multiple places at once---so you are not taking them away from another by calling them to you.
We have been experiencing some chaotic and powerful energetic times and cosmic events, so perhaps you have found yourself feeling a little 'shaken', or 'off-kilter', or unsure. Know that you are not alone in this and that there is support available to you. Those who are sensitive to prevailing energies and who share with us their knowledge and understanding about cosmic energies have been advising that we are truly moving toward a greater self-empowered place of being---even though it may not feel that way currently! Archangel Michael has presented for you today to assist you with that Root Chakra (First Chakra) need to feel safe and secure. He recognizes that we may require additional support with that right now and is letting you know that he is there for you. Call upon Archangel Michael to lend you courage and the knowing that you are safe in moving forward on the path of authenticity and self-empowerment that you have been consciously walking toward in this 2016, '9' year of completion.
Blessed be...
There is no card reading Wednesday, November 2nd/16.
I will be spending some time today with friends who are just what this quote that I am sharing with you are to me! One of them has been an incredible Spiritual mentor in my life since I began studying the metaphysical almost 2 decades ago! LOVE my tribe of Soul Sisters and Brothers who LIGHT up my life. In deep gratitude!
Love and blessings,
Linda
This is your card reading for Tuesday, November 1st/16. Your card today revealed itself from the 'Divine Guidance' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. Your card is 'Infinite Possibilities', and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"Your daydreams are the creation of your deepest desires and wishes. While they do hold guidance as to what you are wanting and needing on your path, they also carry a creative force for manifestation. The Universe is asking you to allow yourself to dream, to allow the idea that the impossible can be possible. Your greatest wishes in life are a big key to your path and the entire Universe is working with you right now to bring those dreams to fruition. The possibilities of what can be manifested are infinite."
My message for you today is this:
You were advised in the message here, preceding the Black New Moon on Sunday, that the energies are ripe for powerful manifestation, and that is your message as we begin the month of November. Pay attention to your dream state at this time, and to the 'thoughts' that 'come into your head' in terms of possibilities for yourself in moving forward. There are messages there for you.
We are moving toward the end of 2016, which is a '9' year, and therefore a 'year of completion' numerologically. It is time to pay attention to where you place your focus and attention. To take responsibility for being a co-creator of your life experience. As Wayne Dyer has said: "We expand what we focus on." Choose CONSCIOUSLY what you will focus on. Focus upon the positives! Doing so will draw into your life experience more positive. We are vibrational beings, and focusing upon only what is going 'wrong' in your life affects your vibration, and thereby what is drawn to you. Focusing upon what is going 'right' in your life (and there is ALWAYS something that is going 'right', regardless of your current circumstances!) also shifts your personal vibration. The Universe dreams a bigger dream for us than we could often imagine for ourselves...infinite possibilities, in fact! Know this to be true, and be open to the potential and possibility that lies within you. The Black New Moon at the end of October has been ushering in this possibility energy in a powerful way. How will you utilize it as we begin the month of November?
Blessed be...
