Look for your Daily Card Reading on my Facebook page...Conscious Connections With Linda...while I am away on our bike trip!

Sooooo...after consulting with my 'tech guy' here in Arizona, I find that it will be very easy for me to post your daily card reading from my Ipad onto my Facebook page, but not so easy to post to my website.  Therefore, I will be posting your Daily Card Reading on my Facebook page ONLY, while we are away on our motorcycle adventure, beginning April 28th/14.
Once we return to Canada May 28th, I will resume posting your Daily Card Reading to the website page, also.
Thanks for your understanding...
Blessings to you,
Linda

Your reading for Monday, April 28th/14 ~ Archangel Gabrielle

As we are leaving on our motorcycle adventure early tomorrow morning, I am posting your reading for Monday, April 28th, at this time.  I am used to using my laptop, which my 'tech friend' has set up beautifully for me to post from; but I am going to attempt to post using my Ipad while we are off on our road trip...
Your card was drawn from the 'Messages From Your Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is the 'Archangel Gabrielle' card, and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"You have an important life purpose involving communication and the arts.  Please don't allow insecurities to hold you back.  I will help you."

My message for you today is this:
Acting as an impactful communicator takes on many roles and is expressed in a myriad of ways.  You do not have to be addressing a large group of people in order for your message to be of consequence in the World.  I have spoken before of the 'ripple effect' and how we don't always witness the significance our words and actions may have on another. Archangel  Gabrielle is known as the 'angel of communication' and she assists us in such matters.  Her name means, 'Messenger of God'; many experience her aura as copper in color; and a crystal said to align well with her energy, is citrine.  Remember that Archangels are of a high vibration and have the ability to bi-locate---to be with multiple Souls at once---and therefore you are not pulling her energy from another, by asking that she be with you.
Your message today is not necessarily about sharing your words or creative endeavors with the masses; but rather to understand that what you say and do absolutely effects those around you.  Choose, in expressing yourself out into the World, to do so from a place of Love (and that means Love of self, also!).   However, if you ARE currently involved in producing or creating a means of communicating that you intend for a wider audience, KNOW that you are completely supported in doing so, and that this is indeed an aspect of your life purpose.  Set aside any fears or insecurities and step lovingly and confidently into your act of service!  Ask Archangel Gabrielle to assist you in moving forward with ease and grace.
Blessed be...

Abundance

Your card today is drawn from the 'Manifesting Wealth & Wisdom' oracle card deck, authored by my friend, Jaden Sterling.  This is a very accurate deck to work with and, as Jaden is an 'action oriented' person, he has 'Action' steps indicated on each card. Jaden is an amazing intuitive and wonderful Soul, whose life mission is to assist others .  Check out his 'Jaden Sterling Wealth Mastery' Facebook page, where his website is also posted.
The card that dropped out of the deck for you today is no surprise to close out this week!  It is a powerful card within this deck---the 'Abundance' card---and Jaden's message for the card is this:
"Drawing this card serves as a reminder that abundance is a spiritual condition, in fact, it is your birthright.  Being open to the many forms abundance takes such as, gifts, friendships, money, opportunities and creative ideas make your tomorrow even richer.
Action:
If feeling fear around abundance, breathe into your heart chakra; this is where you connect with Source.

Self love + Purpose x Passion = Abundance

Having an attitude of gratitude is essential for you to experience true abundance."

My message for you today is this:
This was the perfect card to bring all the messages of the week together for you!  Thank you, Universe!  So many Lightworkers---and those who desire to live their lives in service to others---struggle with RECEIVING abundance in its many forms. We even seem to deflect a compliment when it is expressed to us, at times.  We hold the belief that, if we are meant to be 'givers' or 'helpers', we are not meant to be 'receivers'...as if to be one negates being the other!  We are learning a very important lesson during this SHIFT that we are in; that a fulfilled and productive life is a BALANCED life!  To achieve balance means both giving and receiving.  I have said it before...you cannot offer another a drink from your glass, if your glass is empty.  We all deserve abundance, and to allow yourself to receive DOES NOT take away from another!  We are thankfully shifting away from that competitive energy way of thinking and being; and moving toward a cooperative energy (understanding that there is ENOUGH for ALL) way of thinking and being.  We support each other, even as we LOVE AND SUPPORT OURSELVES!  
I appreciate how Jaden reminds us, also, about the importance of gratitude in attracting abundance into our lives...I have expressed to you many times in the messages shared for you here, that the energy of gratitude is a powerful element to manifestation.  We used to believe that we expressed gratitude only once we received our desired object or outcome...we now understand that by expressing gratitude for our current abundance (in whatever form it takes), we energetically attract greater abundance to our life through the 'Law of Attraction' and the 'Law of Vibration'.
You DO exist in an abundant Universe...how will you consciously draw that abundance to yourself today (and in the days ahead), knowing full well that you are absolutely deserving?
Blessed be...

New Beginnings

I am SO EXCITED to have my 'Conscious Connections With Linda' Facebook page up and running, as of last evening!  I will be posting your daily card reading there, as well as on this page of my website; so you will have 2 means of accessing your Daily Card Reading now!
If you feel so inclined to 'Like' my Facebook page, that would be awesome!  I will also be posting about events that I will be attending; courses I am offering; and whatever feels pertinent to share!  My sincere, heartfelt gratitude for your support; as it is my greatest desire to support you, also!  Each time any of us shines our Light, we enlighten the World---and THAT'S what we are here for!  Blessed be...

Your card today was drawn from the 'Healing With Your Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is the 'New Beginnings' card, and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Embrace the new in your life, including new opportunities, people and projects.  The angels know that change can be frightening, and they surround you now with loving energy.  Call upon them whenever you feel afraid of facing novel situations.  They will boost your confidence and energy so that you can enjoy your new beginnings."

My message for you today is this:
Change is not always easy, and in fact, we sometimes remain in old patterns of behavior, simply because to change feels too daunting.  I love the quote by Anais Nin that says, "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."  Often times we need to get really uncomfortable before we are prepared to face the need to change.  What we need to understand at such times is that there IS support and assistance available to us; and that, once you take the steps toward making a change, it is typically a  lot easier than you had imagined it would be.  Change can even be exciting and invigorating when you choose to approach it with such an attitude!  We have definitely been very strongly in the 'pushing you out of your comfort zone' energy of late, and we will continue to be so.  So choose to move WITH that energy, and to UTILIZE it; rather than to RESIST it, as you consciously make changes in your life that are for your greater good (and therefore, the greater good of All).  In the northern hemisphere, we are in the season of Spring and thereby, new beginnings. Allow that energy to be expressed in various areas of your life.  Ask your guides and angels to assist and guide you and to bring to you the people, situations and opportunities that will best bring about your growth and change.
Blessed be...

The Dreamer

Your card today was drawn from the 'Angel Tarot' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine.  A tarot deck has two components:  the major arcana and the minor arcana.  I have always worked with this deck intact, but today, I was guided to separate the major arcana cards from the minor arcana cards.  Your card was drawn from the 22 major arcana cards within this deck---each card being aligned with an Archangel's energy.  Major arcana cards tend to address the major themes within our life circumstances, while minor arcana cards speak to the details within our lives. Perhaps it is because of the very powerful cosmic energy that we are currently in that Spirit guided me to work exclusively with the major arcana cards for you today.  Your card is 'The Dreamer', which is aligned with Archangel Metatron.
Doreen & Valentine's message for the card is this:
"The angels bring you this card because you're entering a new and exciting phase of your life.  It's important that you believe in yourself and know that the benevolent Universe wants you to succeed.  Now is the time for faith, and commitment to your dreams!  Take any necessary steps to move forward with confidence."

My message for you today is this:
Archangel Metatron is one of only 2 Archangels who lived a life here on Earth, as the prophet Enoch.  He lived his life in such an exemplary manner that he was ascended to Archangeldom.  He is the perfect Archangel to step forward with your message, because he HAS experienced life here in the physical and understands that it is necessary to navigate your way through some mundane tasks in order to bring your dreams to fruition.  Call upon him to guide and assist you through the action steps necessary in fulfilling your dreams. Metatron is also known to work closely with children, particularly those viewed as 'different' or 'special' or 'spiritually gifted'.  He will help you to not only take the action steps needed but to follow the path that leads to your dream with an attitude of child-like wonder!  Many experience his aura as green and pink stripes and therefore a crystal said to align well with his energy is watermelon tourmaline.  Remember that Archangels have the ability to bi-locate---to be with multiple Souls at one time---so you are NOT pulling Metatron away from another Soul, when you ask him to work with you!
Encapsulate the cosmic energies being offered to you at this time---as well as the support of Archangel Metatron---to propel yourself forward in achieving your long-held goals and dreams.  YOU ARE SO SUPPORTED AT THIS TIME, BECAUSE YOUR LIGHT IS SO NEEDED!  DREAM BIG FOR YOURSELF!
Blessed be...

Creation

HAPPY EARTH DAY!
We are being told to watch the skies tonight, particularly in the early hours, as the Lyrid Meteor Shower will be most visible with 20 meteors per hour!  These meteors will appear as very dusty with bright lingering 'tails' of light.  The Lyrid Meteor Shower can be seen April 16-25th.  Two evenings ago (April 20th), my husband and I were amazed to see 3 'falling stars' during a half hour period, and one of them had a distinctive 'tail of light'.  Little did we know, we were witnessing a meteor shower!  Can't wait to see what we can see this evening here in the Arizona sky!

Your card today was drawn from the fractal art deck, 'Path of the Soul', authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  Your card is the 'Creation' card, and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"You are a creator!  When this card appears, it signifies a strengthening in your energetic field to bring those things which you require into physical manifestation.  Creation is happening quickly, from thought to form.  Be conscious of what thoughts you are having. The time between the thought and its appearance in the physical will be quick.  Now is the time to get clear about what you desire in your life.  The universal energies are working with you to bring your desires to fruition."

My message for you is this:
The image on this card is a beautiful representation of the cosmic energies that are colorfully and powerfully impacting us here on Earth at this time!  
As I lay my hand upon this card, the message that came to me is that we are not meant to drop into FEAR when we think of ourselves as the creators of our own experience...  Do NOT fall into worrying that, 'oh no, if I allow this negative thought to come into my head, then that may be what the Universe brings to me!'  Yes...we ARE in a time of accelerated manifestation and potent manifestation energy, but it is what you FOCUS upon that will manifest...not the fleeting thoughts that take up temporary residence in your mind!  
Just as you were advised in your reading yesterday, that you can shift your vibration through manipulating your breath; you can also shift your vibration and thereby what you draw to you by consciously manipulating your thoughts.  You are being called to take that next step in manifesting your reality today.  Take responsibility for the thoughts that you FOCUS upon, and allow the thoughts that do not serve your greater good to simply 'pass on through'.  Do not waste precious time and energy on 'fighting' what you may feel are 'negative thoughts'...simply acknowledge such thoughts, give them no attention, and focus upon the thoughts and ideas that are in your highest and best interest.  You've no doubt heard some version of this quote by Esther Jno-Charles, "What you focus on expands. So focus on what you want, not what you do not want."  There are many strategies and tools to assist us in focusing our thoughts upon our desired outcomes, such as; vision boards, guided meditation, journalling (gratitude journals are great for this...remember that the energy of gratitude is amazing manifestation energy), affirmations, etc. Also ask that your guides and angels support and assist you in focusing upon your desired outcomes.  This Creation card is the number 1 card in this deck.  According to Doreen Virtue's 'Angel Numbers' book, the number 1 means, "Stay positive.  Everything you're thinking about right now is coming true, so be sure that you're only thinking about what you desire.  Give any fears to God and the angels."  So, as I said earlier in my message for you today...do NOT drop into fear or self-judgment over any 'negative' thoughts...simply acknowledge them and ask that the angels and your spiritual assistants assist you in focusing upon what you desire. Then take guided action!  Creation is a verb---an action word!  Notice all the brilliant colours represented in the image on this card...there are so many 'colorful' opportunities and possibilities awaiting you as a conscious creator. You are being asked to get clear about and focus upon what it is that you desire.  What will you choose to paint upon the canvas of your Life?
Blessed be...

Universal Law of Vibration

Wow!  We are in some really potent cosmic energies this week!  The Grand Cardinal Cross that is forming means intense cosmic energy.  Elizabeth Peru, of Delta Waves, has this to say:
"The Grand Cross has nearly formed in our skies.  It's intense.  So many planetary squares means lots of pressure for us to get sharp and not 'wishy-washy' on what we desire in our life...know you are not going crazy if you feel life has turned up about a 1000 notches, cause it has!"
Elizabeth publishes an e-newsletter, 'The Tip-Off Global Soul Report', that I highly recommend as a resource about cosmic energies.  You can access it at her site:
www.deltawaves.com.au/aboutelizabeth_newsletter.html

Your card today dropped to the floor from the 'Universal Laws of Conscious Creation' deck, authored by Lara Solara, Dana DaPonte, and Marlene Chapman.  Your card is the 'Universal Law of Vibration' card, and the authors' message for the card is this:
"The Law of Vibration states that everything in the Universe---in its purest and most basic form---is vibrating energy.  Your thoughts and feelings have their own vibration, or frequency...As a result of the Law of Attraction, the vibration of your thoughts and feelings will attract into your life the circumstances that correlate with that vibration.  You have the power to change your vibration by changing your thoughts and feelings.  Once you do, a change in your external circumstances will inevitably follow.  The Universe is asking you to be who you want to be now.  Align your thoughts, feelings, and actions with your ideal self...Assume the vibration you want and you will become it."

My message for you today is this:
What an awesome reminder the message above is for us, during the heightened cosmic energies we will be in this week!  Those who are sensitive to energy (and even those who would not consider themselves so, will most likely feel the energies this week!) will be experiencing the 'pressure' that the Universe is directing at us to 'get real' and to 'step up to the plate' regarding our Soul's purpose and desires.  The 'Vibration' card has come forward for you today to affirm that you are not 'at the mercy' of the cosmic energies we will be experiencing.  When you are aware of the energies being offered to you at this time, you can UTILIZE them, rather than fall victim to them!  I have stated so many times that 'everything is energy'!  You have the ability to CONSCIOUSLY shift your vibration energetically and to incorporate the powerful energies of this week to propel you forward in an escalated way!  
How do you shift your vibration?  Your breath is an effective tool in shifting vibration.  Breath and manipulating your breath is an integral component of yoga, for example.  I incorporate breath in shifting my vibration in preparation for and during doing an Akashic Records consultation.  Think about how you breathe when you are feeling calm and secure.  Think about how you breathe when you are feeling anxious, and even panicked.  We are often advised, during moments of stress, to adjust our breathing in order to calm ourselves...
So, how do you shift your vibration?  Just breathe.  Strive to be in high vibration this upcoming week and you will be amazed with the possibilities that you attract to yourself; as well as how efficiently you are able to achieve the goals you set for yourself.  Here we go!  
Blessed be...
