This is your daily card reading for Monday, November 10th/14. Your card is from the 'Universal Laws of Conscious Creations' fractal art deck, authored by Lara Solara, Dana LaPointe, and Marlene Chapman. Your card today is the 'Universal Law of Purpose' card, and the author's message for the card is this:
"The Law of Purpose states that all life has a purpose. You are who you are for a purpose, and your individuality serves the whole. Your existence serves life, whether or not you are consciously aware of how you do so. The Law of Purpose is reminding you that who you are today is perfect and serves a higher purpose. A common purpose of life is to grow and expand, to become more in quality and quantity. Part of growing and becoming more is to expand your consciousness and awaken to who you really are: oneness experiencing individuality. As an individual, you also have the power to consciously choose a purpose.
Perhaps you feel your purpose is to inspire others or heal the environment or be the best parent you can be. Choose a purpose that serves the whole and you will align with the Universe. Whatever purpose you choose, hold it in your heart and mind as you go about your day. Infuse your thoughts, feelings, and actions with your purpose. Hold your purpose in mind as you act, and put the feeling of your purpose into each action. The Universe will support your purpose with ease, grace, and synchronicity.
HOW TO HARMONIZE WITH THIS LAW:
Find a word or a symbol that reflects your purpose. Write or draw this symbol on several pieces of paper and put these in places that you will see often. Think about your purpose upon waking and before falling asleep. The more you make a habit of being conscious of your purpose, the stronger the impression you will make upon the Universe."
My message for you today is this:
One of the most common questions that comes up in the Akashic Records Consultations that I do for others is, 'What is my life purpose?' Your Akashic Records are an excellent place to explore that question. This is what I have learned personally, as I move along my spiritual path: while our PURPOSE holds a theme, how it is expressed into the world morphs and changes throughout the course of our lives. For example, I have come to understand that my purpose in this lifetime is as a TEACHER---this has been exhibited in various roles already in my life. Having been a student of dance since I was 3 years old, I began to teach dance classes in the basement of our home as a young teenager (my parents set up a rudimentary 'dance studio' for me); when I took figure skating lessons in our small town, I was selected by the primary instructor to teach some of the 'learn to skate' classes; while in high school I earned high school credits by assisting the speech therapist in working with elementary school children; I earned my Bachelors of Education degree following high school, and enjoyed my teaching career, focusing on elementary education; I believe that MOTHERS are among the most important and impactful teachers and I am proud and honoured to be the mother of 3 amazing people; I now teach and share my learnings and experiences of a metaphysical nature with courses I have created; and I see this daily card reading and the Akashic Records Consultations I do for others as a form of teaching, because it is my intention that they will serve to enlighten you in some way.
You get the picture---your life purpose, whatever it may be---will be expressed out into the world in various ways at different times.
Do not attempt to box your self in or go into self-judgment by believing that you have not been in your purpose before now! This card has presented for you today to encourage you to CONSCIOUSLY be in your purpose and to recognize that you are here for a reason! You were created in your beautiful individuality as a powerful expression of the Divine. How will you reveal that? The possibilities are infinite, so choose consciously and intentionally. The Universe supports you!
Blessed be...
This is your daily card reading for Friday, November 7th/14. Your card to close out this impactful week floated out of the 'Saints & Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is the 'Reward' card, which is aligned with your Guardian Angel. Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Your guardian angels are rewarding you for all your concerted efforts, hard work, and dedication to helping others. You've been giving so much, and now it's time for you to receive.
Your reward comes to you in an unexpected and happy way. It helps you know that you're not alone, and that you're being watched over. Allow this to boost your faith even further.
This is also a message for you to treat yourself with a few goodies. You've been expending so much energy that there's a need for a retreat and rejuvenation. Indulge yourself with a massage, a pedicure, or a long soak in a warm bathtub. Rewarding yourself helps you keep going and feel appreciated for all your hard work, and it balances all the giving that you've been doing. You deserve this reward, and remember: The more you allow yourself to receive, the more you have available to give to others."
My message for you today is this:
My friend and a wonderful spiritual teacher/mentor, Jaden Sterling, teaches that we should give from an overflowing cup, in order to be most effective. What he means by this, is that it serves NO ONE if you give to the point of depleting yourself and your resources.
It is a common theme---especially among Lightworkers---to be excellent at giving, and to find it challenging to receive. How many times have you deflected a compliment; or attempted to deny a tip that a client has offered you in appreciation; or 'thanked' someone for a gift with the words 'you shouldn't have'? Your Guardian Angels are reminding you today that you are WORTHY, and that an exchange of energy is NECESSARY, in taking care of yourself energetically---you can't just keep pouring water out of the glass, without replenishing it, or the glass will run dry and have nothing to offer!
Your Guardian Angels are also reminding you about how good you feel when you give in some way to another. Why would you SELFISHLY deny another the joy in doing the same for you? Doesn't that other person deserve to experience how good it feels to be GIVING, also? If you don't receive graciously, you rob the gifter of the joy of giving...now THAT'S a shift in perspective, isn't it? By RECEIVING from another, you are GIVING them the opportunity to feel great about giving! A beautiful, reciprocal cycle of LOVE!
Living consciously means to be aware of your life in the physical on ALL LEVELS...body, mind and Spirit. When you have expended a lot, be aware of how best to replenish yourself, and then DO SO!! It is not selfish to care for yourself in this way---in order to give the best of yourself, you need to come from a balanced place of abundance within yourself.
What comes to mind for yourself when you think of a lovely little 'reward'? Is it alloting yourself a quiet time to sit with a favorite book and a cup of your favorite tea? Is it making a 'date' to spend time with a cherished friend? Is it sitting with a bowl of popcorn and watching a favorite movie? Is it cranking up the music in your home and 'dancing like no one is watching'? Is it going for a hike/walk/run in nature? WHAT comes to mind when you think of indulging yourself and recharging your batteries? Your Guardian Angels are URGING you to do this for yourself and to RELISH in the experience! Don't simply indulge yourself...celebrate yourself and all that you are; and truly ENJOY the experience as you do so! Your Guardian Angels want you to REWARD yourself!
Blessed be...
This is your daily card reading for Thursday, November 6th/14. HAPPY FULL MOON THIS EVENING! Your card glided out of the 'Path of the Soul' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. Your card today is the 'Light Within' card, (PERFECT as this Full Moon is in Taurus!) and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"You are awakening to your Inner Light and opening to new levels of spiritual understanding and awareness. Guides and teachers are working with you to assist you in this awakening. Support is coming in the human form as well. Those who are knowledgable and experienced will be there to offer their support as needed.
The main color of green in the card shows that, to know our own Inner Light is to know our own heart. Enjoy the experience, stay connected and the rest will happen naturally."
My message for you today is this:
As I lay my hand upon this fractal art card, it was a gentle, pulsing energy that I felt in my hand; and the words, 'basking in the glow' came to mind. The current Full Moon energy is powerful and transformative---make no mistake about that---but it feels like more of a 'smooth transition' type of energy, rather than a 'knock you off your feet' type of energy.
This is because you have already done the work...October was a month where the energy of transition was palpable and somewhat disorienting at times! You have received clarity about how you truly wish to express yourself out into the world in a Soulful way. This is not only in relation to career---it speaks to ALL aspects of self-expression, including personal relationships and spiritual commitment/Soul path.
The green within the fractal image of this card, does relate to Heart Chakra, as Cheryl Lee states in her message, but it also relates to HEALING energy and honours the work you have been doing to heal aspects of yourself that were no longer in resonance with the higher vibrational being that you have been becoming at this time of the great Shift. The indigo color, also prolific in this image, relates to your Third Eye Chakra, and reminds you that it in following your heart and your intuition that you are best able to lead a Soul-filled life.
'Bask in the glow' of the Full Moon energy (which resides 24 hours either side of the actual event). Focus upon what MATTERS---what AUTHENTICALLY MATTERS---to you, and give thanks for all that you hold dear in your life at this moment in time. Gently release any residual that no longer serves you in moving forward in the best possible way, knowing that the Full Moon will assist you in doing so. You are SO READY, as we move into 2015, to share your Light Within, and to help illuminate the world!
Blessed be...
This is your daily card reading for Wednesday, November 5th/14. Your card today wafted out of the 'Mary, Queen of Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. I LOVE this deck! I have often felt the grace of Mother Mary at pivotal points in my life---her nurturing, maternal strength is a true blessing! Your card today is the 'Integrity' card, and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"I trust my ability to know what is true for me...
You drew this card because the situation you're asking about involves someone's integrity. This card comes as guidance to pay attention to your body's signals, because you can sense whether someone is being honest. Mother Mary is a wonderful role model of gently and lovingly demanding that others live truthfully. You can do the same with the people in your life. You can also avoid those who aren't acting with integrity. Either way, trust your gut feelings to steer you toward individuals who tell the truth and who 'walk their talk'.
This card also asks you to tell the truth yourself, even if you're uncomfortable with the possible reaction. Prayer can guide your words, give you courage to speak up, and help create a healthy atmosphere of honest communication."
My message for you today is this:
INTERESTING how the cards for you this week, drawn from 3 completely different decks, are all IMPORTANT 'I' words: INTENTION, INTUITION and INTEGRITY! There is NO such thing as coincidence...only synchronicity...and so it is with the cards that presented for you this week!
I am getting a slightly different message for today's card than Doreen had in the guidebook, however. As soon as the card wafted out of the deck, I had the knowing that Mother Mary was communicating to us today about trusting in our own intuitive messages---not just in regards to another's integrity, but rather, to live in our OWN integrity by being true to ourselves.
Of course, this does at times mean being selective about whom we include in our lives, which is not always as easy as it sounds. I seldom 'share' things on my personal Facebook page, in terms of 'quotes', etc.; but just yesterday I did share a quote that I could relate to: "I'm guilty of giving people more chances than they deserve but when I'm done, I'M DONE." Mother Mary is reminding us that we need not remain in close personal contact with those who compromise our own personal integrity---choose to spend your precious time with those who lift you up, rather than attempt to drag you down. You CAN approach such situations from a loving place---beginning with LOVE for yourself! Call upon Mother Mary to guide and assist you in how best to approach such situations. Honour yourself in this way.
Mother Mary is also gently reminding us that, just because someone has psychic abilities, does NOT guarantee that they are always operating from a place of integrity. This was a HUGE lesson for me, personally! I assumed that all the people in my 'community', as my son calls it, also held to the same beliefs and standard of ethics as I hold---not necessarily true! Of course, I have my own challenges as a spiritual being having a physical experience; but I ALWAYS hold any conscious connection to the Divine and to Spirit as SACRED. I have witnessed that this is not the case with all who have an aptitude for making the connection for themselves and others. Trust in what your intuition is telling you in regards to this in your life, and honour it. No need to go into judgment, but be selective about whom you align yourself with in this way.
Mother Mary's primary message for us today is just as the message on the card states:
'I trust in the ability to know what is true for me.' At times, even when we 'know', we still deny our 'knowing'. Set the intention today to truly listen to what your intuitive self is communicating to you, and to stand firmly in the integrity of that! Mother Mary is with you and supporting you in this!
Blessed be...
This is your daily card reading for Tuesday, November 4th/14. Your card today sprung out of the 'Return of Spirit' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. Your card is the 'Intuition' card, and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"There is a focus right now on your intuitive and clairvoyant abilities. This card usually signifies an amplification of this functioning. You may find yourself feeling more tapped-in to the cosmic energy field of information. This can include the sudden channeling of information from Celestial beings, an increase in predictive dreams, or sensing information from objects or your surroundings.
Stay open to this flow. It is happening for a reason. You are being attuned with higher ascension energies which are affecting the planet at this time. And yes, this will be a permanent enhancement. These gifts are intended to work in this way. It is part of the awareness, which the rest of humanity will experience when they are ready to move into this higher frequency field. But for now, just relax as you adjust to it.
The Intuition card also comes to those whose intuitive gifts are strong, but underdeveloped. It is important for you to trust that you are indeed intuitive and this is an important part of who you are. Be open to learning about your intuition and how it works. Take classes, read information on it, and speak to those you know who are actively using their gift. You may be very surprised by how easily and naturally your intuition blossoms for you.
The main thing is to trust the process of what is happening for you. Trust any information you receive. The more you acknowledge and focus on your intuition, the stronger it will be. It will become clear soon, how to use your gift in service."
My message for you today is this:
As I lay my hand upon this fractal art card, the energy emanating up my arm and to my crown chakras was intense! I have personally pulled this card for myself previously in layouts, and I have not experienced such intensity---it was almost 'dizzying'. This indicates to me that we are presently in a POWERFUL time of amplification for 'consciously connecting' to the Divine and to Spirit. Utilize the cosmic energies; and in fact, the evolutionary time that we are in spiritually; to recognize, identify, acknowledge, and DEVELOP your own unique psychic gifts. While you may have an inherent aptitude or ability for ANY skill (be it psychic, intellectual, or physical); it is NECESSARY to practise and develop that skill in order to take it to its potential---otherwise, it just lays dormant. Such a waste of possibility!
We ALL have INTUITION---yet we, as individuals, have varying aptitudes, abilities, and capabilities. You were given your own unique gifts for a reason! Get clear on how you were meant to embrace your intuitive self and to develop and utilize your abilities for 'the greater good of All' (including YOURSELF)! You are supported at this time in a MAGNIFIED way. Step up and step into it...even by taking 'baby steps'...it is ALL movement forward! Understand that you may feel periods of 'adjustment', and what I call 'integration', as you strive to align with the new energy and vibration. It IS possible to move through such transition with ease and grace, if you ALLOW and flow with the shift. You chose to be here on planet Earth at this time for a reason---your Soul knew that you were ready, and that you have actually longed for this. Know that in your heart, and trust in your INTUITION.
Blessed be...
This is your daily card reading for Monday, November 3rd/14. Your card flew out of the 'Universal Laws of Conscious Creation' deck, authored by Lara Solara, Dana LaPonte, and Marlene Chapman. Your card is the 'Universal Law of Intention' card, and the author's message for the card is this:
"This law states that this is a Universe of infinite possibilities, and within every intention there lies the possibility for its fulfillment. When intention is clear and focused it becomes a power that attracts the means necessary for its fulfillment. Strengthen the power of your intention by focusing more energy and attention into it. Create a detailed vision of what you want. Ask yourself what it is that you REALLY want and discover the deeper the reason that underlines your intention. The Universe responds to your authentic intentions, whether or not you are consciously aware of what they are. Experience the self-discovery that is gained by looking more deeply into your desires and motives. Ask yourself this question and be honest with yourself; why do you want what you want? You may be surprised at the answers. The authentic intention behind a thought or action will ultimately determine the outcome that results. This card is bringing your attention to your intentions. It may be time to re-evaluate your intentions. Or perhaps it is time to recommit to an intention you valued in the past. Fuel your intentions with your belief, energy and vision. Let go of the notion of limits. The Universe is reminding you that where there is a will, there is a way. It is time to set your intentions, believe in yourself, and boldly move forward."
My message for you today is this:
I LOVE that this card came forward for you today!!! Anyone who has come to me for a consultation; or has taken any of my courses; or has even been in a discussion about the metaphysical with me; will most certainly KNOW how POWERFUL I believe the word INTENTION to be!!! I have said, time and time again, 'it is ALL about INTENTION'! One way that I use to illustrate the power of intention, is in making a conscious connection to Spirit/Divine. I believe that Spirit/Divine responds to the energy of intention---therefore, if it is your sincere intention to make the connection, you will. You could recite the most beautiful prayer ever written, but if you are merely reciting the words and not consciously INTENDING to connect with the Divine; then you will struggle in making the connection. Yet, if you merely utter the words 'help me', and infuse those words with the heartfelt desire and intention to communicate; then the power of intention will ensure that it happens.
I had an interesting exchange with Panache Desai, a spiritual leader whom I have mentioned previously (I attended a seminar with him in Sedona, Arizona last November, and an Immersion with him on Vancouver Island last August). Panache was speaking to us about 'letting go of our intentions, because we will only be disappointed and suffer when we don't get the results we had planned on'. WHOA!!! 'LET GO OF INTENTION???' Are you kidding me??? To my mind, it is IMPOSSIBLE; and indeed UNDESIRABLE; I would go so far as to say MEANINGLESS; to attempt to live a life here in the physical without INTENTION! Can you sense how strongly I feel about that?
True spiritual leaders/mentors challenge us to clarify and deepen our own spiritual understanding, which is what happened here. I came to understand, through discussion with Panache, and fellow students at this Immersion, that my disagreement with Panache's stance on intention was really all about SEMANTICS---what the word 'INTENTION' truly meant to each of us. I came to realize that Panache views the word 'intention' in an 'end-result' way; whereas, I view the word 'intention' as an 'energetic seed that you plant', or the energy you infuse into something, without placing expectations on exactly how that seed will grow. I pointed out that Panache had to set the intention to hold the Immersion; his friend had to set the intention to provide the space for it to happen and to facilitate the accommodations; the 'students' had to set the intention to attend the Immersion; otherwise none of it could happen! Yet, once I set the intention to attend the Immersion, I honestly had no concrete expectations about what would transpire during my time there, and I surrendered to that. Panache viewed 'intention' as the 'students' coming to the Immersion with the expectation of certain outcomes. Trust me...if there's one thing I've learned it's that the Universe will play things out in ways that we couldn't even begin to imagine for ourselves! The point in all of this is that we must be aware of the way in which we personally label and define things; knowing that a certain label or word may not have the same meaning to others, as it does to us.
Today, you are being reminded of the power of SETTING INTENTIONS, and being clear and honest with yourself about the underlying energy that you are infusing your intentions with. We are energetic beings...the Universe responds to the energy you put out. Choose to consciously employ the 'Universal Law of Intention' in creating what your Soul-ful desires are---plant the seed! Then, surrender into exactly how the Universe will provide for you. Simply said: set your intention(s) and relax into how it all plays out, knowing that the Divine dreams a bigger dream for you than you could ever dream for yourself!
Blessed be...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! This is your card reading for Friday, October 31st/14. Your card today was drawn from the 'Saints & Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is the 'Steady Progress' card, which is aligned with the Saint, St. Therese of Lisieux (Little Flower).
Doreen's message for the card is this:
"You've been making steady progress, and it's important for you to recognize that this progress (not perfection) is what's important. This is a message for you to appreciate how much you've already achieved and how many people you've helped along the way. Keep your focus away from any lapses that you think you've made. Guilt and regrets never helped anyone, so let them go today.
You're also asked to forgive yourself for what you think you've done or not done. St. Therese didn't live a life of spiritual perfection (she often fell asleep or was distracted during her prayers, for example). Yet, she insisted that it's 'the little way' of steady progression that connects us with God and Heaven. She wrote: 'Learn and grow from your challenges, but don't let them stop you from your devotion or spiritual path."
St. Therese was born in Lisieux, France, in 1873 and became a Carmelite nun along with two of her sisters. Therese began having mystical experiences, which she wrote about (only because her mother superior ordered her to do so) in an autobiography called 'The Story of a Soul'. Many miraculous of ailments, such as ulcers, tuberculosis, and arthritis are attributed to St. Therese's intercession. Upon her deathbed, she promised to send roses as a sign of her presence and devotion, so she's often referred to as 'Little Flower'."
My message for you today is this:
At times in our life---and on our spiritual path---we will experience periods of accelerated growth and progress. Awesome! Yet, we sometimes have the expectation that this period of accelerated growth must CONTINUE in the same way, in order to be effective or 'worthwhile'. Not true! Periods of accelerated growth and progress are most effective when followed up by a period of 'integration', as I call it. Slow down, integrate and adjust to the shift that you have experienced; so that you can best incorporate the positive changes that have occurred. In this physical existence, it is impossible to maintain a CONSTANT rapid trajectory of transition, without incorporating periods of lull, or rest, or adjustment. Simply said, you can not be moving forward at 'mach one' constantly! You only need to observe Mother Nature to see the truth in this. Trees that grow too quickly or plants that bloom to prolifically tend to 'burn themselves out' and do not survive.
Panache Desai, whom I had the privilege of learning from at an Immersion on Vancouver Island last August, admitted to having gone into a 'tailspin' of sorts following his world-wide interview with Oprah Winfrey on Super Soul Sunday. The exposure that this televised interview brought to him and to his spiritual work, hugely impacted his world and sent him reeling for a time---even with his advanced understanding of energy and what he calls our 'Soul Signature'. As an acclaimed spiritual mentor/teacher; or rather, 'energetic catalyst' as he defines himself; Panache was still 'off-kilter' and required a period of adjustment and integration to the huge shift that followed his global interview experience. The point in this is that we are MEANT to have periods of rest and integration, in order to enjoy STEADY PROGRESS, in our lives and on our spiritual path.
St. Therese has presented to remind us of that today. Take the pressure off! Celebrate the periods of rapid growth and ALSO the perceived 'steps backward' that have brought you to where you are. It is ALL GOOD! We are not MEANT to be PERFECT here in this physical experience. When you choose to live your life CONSCIOUSLY, however, you will find that the growth and periods of integration flow with greater ease and grace; that the steps 'backward' will be seen as progress in their own way, also; and you will understand that you are so supported by the Divine as you make your journey here on Earth!
Blessed be...
