There will be no card readings from Wednesday, November 16th/16 until Monday, November 21st/16. I am now prepping for, and will be involved in, an intense 3 day course.
In the meantime, I wanted to share this quote with you...
Love and blessings,
Linda
This is your card reading for Monday, November 14th/16---the day of the Super Full Moon (being heralded as a 'once in a lifetime moon', as it will be at the closest proximity to Earth for 68 years)! Your card today glided out of the 'Universal Wisdom' deck, authored by Toni Carmine Salerno. Your card is 'Love' and Toni's message for the card is this:
"This love card relates to the relationship you have with yourself, a lover, friend or your family...
Love is the ultimate creative power. Embrace it and you will find that your relationships, including the one you have with yourself, will be enriched.
Close your eyes and feel your spiritual connection to every living thing on the planet--every person, animal, bird and fish, insect, butterfly, each blade of grass, tree and flower all swaying to the eternal motion of creation, the eternal flow of love. Feel the life force at one with your own. Allow your mind to merge with the Wind, the Sun, the Moon and the Stars. Flow with the streams and rivers and merge with the Ocean, Clouds and Rain.
Hold the vision and feeling of all that exists within creation, remembering that the life force that flows through all these things is the same energy that flows through you. As you breathe, so too do Nature and the Universe.
Feel yourself in unison with all creation and whisper "I Am."
My message for you today is this:
The Beatle's song, "Love is all there is..." keeps running through my head. You are being reminded that you ARE connected to all Divine creation, and that because Divine Source energy IS that of unconditional Love, then 'Love is all there is...' Allow yourself to take that in...it is not so esoteric as it sounds.
As I was typing up Toni's message for this card, I noticed that the next card in the guidebook was 'Luna' (in Latin, 'Luna' means 'moon'), and I found myself wondering why that card hadn't revealed itself for your message today, considering the significance of this very rare Super Full Moon. Let me say that I can't ever recall having the 'next' card in the guidebook draw my attention before, when posting your readings. I then realized, as I read the message that Toni had written for the 'Luna' card (which was written in prose, rather than as a 'message' per se), that it tied in perfectly with the 'Love' card and so I will share the message for the Luna card here also (Spirit often works in mysterious ways!)...
"~Luna~ This card is a blessing from the Universe, feel each word resonate inside your heart:
Believe in yourself---for you are a wonder of creation.
Let go of fear---and you'll discover a shining star.
Trust in the healing power of love, for you are an ocean of light,
reflecting the light of the sun, universe and stars.
The flame of love resides in your heart,
it engulfs all in its path.
Through this light, new stars are born.
Explosions of love.
A glowing heart that moves the ocean tide.
One eternal heart forever bathed in light.
The night sky a tapestry of jewels.
Dew drops form an ocean.
Starlight fills your heart with the glow of ancient Suns.
Through trees, mountains and valleys
You shine eternally bright."
Do your absolute best to bask in the light of the moon this evening, and to utilize the energies being offered you for releasement on the deepest levels; thereby making space for that which will now best serve you to enter in. Notice the beautiful glowing on the Third Eye chakra of the woman in the picture on your card---your intuition and psychic abilities will also be heightened at this time. Pay attention to the messages that you are being given...Spirit is taking advantage of these potent energies to communicate with you. Be conscious and aware!
Remember that I have said on many occasions that energy is 'in flow' and not 'clap on/clap off'. You have likely already been feeling the inflow of this profound Super Full Moon energy and you will reside in it as it then flows out. Therefore, be mindful not just today, but also over the coming days. Know that even if circumstances are not such that you can enjoy a good visual of this evening's Moon, you will still be in the powerful energies of it.
Place your crystals out to be infused with this rare Moon energy. If you can't place them outdoors, then place them in a window sill where they can catch the Moonlight. This will be a beautiful resetting for them.
Enjoy...we are being blessed at this time!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Friday, November 11th/16---Remembrance Day---
LEST WE FORGET! And as we honour our veterans on Remembrance Day, let us remember to honour and give thanks to their family members who also made the supreme sacrifice, in watching their loved ones head off to war! Sacrifice was made in so many ways and on so many levels to ensure our freedom and quality of life. With deepest gratitude to the veterans who served on our behalf; and to the family members who loved, prayed for, and who sometimes sadly had to mourn them... In our hearts, WE REMEMBER... <3
Your card today revealed itself from the 'Gateway' oracle card deck, authored by Denise Linn. Your card is 'Revealing Radiance', and Denise's message for the card is this:
"My light illuminates the world...
CARD MEANING: There is a luminosity within you that's expanding. It illuminates others and brings light to the darkness. Your radiance also acts as a sacred beacon that calls the bounty and support of the Universe to you.
THE UNIVERSE WANTS YOU TO KNOW: Even if you've been feeling lackluster lately, know that there's a vibrant, shimmering light radiating within you. Take time to be still and welcome the light revealing itself to you. Own your radiance, and the rays will expand into the farthest reaches of time and space. When you shine brightly from your heart, the bounty of the Universe showers you with blessings. You are the light.
QUESTIONS TO ASK: How can I shine even more brightly? Who helps me shine, and who dims my light? What do I need to clear out of my life so I can shine even brighter?"
My message for you today is this:
This is an 11/11 day, numeroligically (11th day of the 11th month), and thereby is an energetic portal to the 'higher self'---it is no 'accident' that this is the date that is designated as Remembrance Day, as on an 11/11 day we often look to deeper meaning and the underlying lessons in moving forward in a positive way.
Add to this the current prevailing cosmic influences---including the Super Full Moon, upcoming---and we are in a time wherein we are being literally urged to embrace our unique radiance (Divine inner spark) and gifts. Know that you are on the right path. Doors are opening for you in ways that you may not have anticipated...pay attention! Spend some time today in simply contemplating how you could see yourself 'doing good in the world'. This is a perfect day for that! And then relax into 'what that looks like'. Understand that it is not only the 'grand acts' (such as the acts of heroism that we are honouring and remembering on this Remembrance Day) that can impact the life of another. Simply revealing your radiance through the 'simple' act of smiling at a stranger; or allowing a mom and her toddler to precede you in the check-out line; or giving an encouraging word to someone who is struggling with something; etc. etc. etc. There are a MULTITUDE of ways in which to reveal the Light within you! What is truly wonderful is that when you reveal your radiance, it expands and grows within you, also! How beautiful is that?
Opportunities to reveal your radiance will abound for you today...in both large and small ways. Be aware and be proactive in sharing your Light whenever the opportunity presents!
Know that you are in an energetic portal of authentic self-expression of the highest vibration.
This is no day to 'play shy'---own your own brilliance, as an expression of the Divine within you! If we are to truly honour the courage and sacrifice of others to give us our freedom, then we must thereby be brave and show courage in being all that we came here to be!
Blessed be...
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
