This session’s topic is: Seasonal Vibrations

Every season offers new and exciting lessons, challenges and ways to help broaden your life.  This session, I will present a spread on how to tap into the season’s vibrations to learn what that season has in store for you and how to use those energies wisely.  When we align ourselves to the natural flow of life, we are better equipped to triumph over the challenges in our lives and rise above the fears that keep us from achieving our life’s purpose and dreams.  I will lead us through a brief meditation and then share a new spread for us to try out on each other.

This summer brings a lot of new energy for creation, manifestation and shifts in vibration.  As the summer progresses, allow your spirit to flow with the energy and not fight against it.  There are many challenges that are coming this summer, to strengthen you and strip away anything that is keeping you from fulfilling your life purpose.

 

Seasonal Vibration Spread – to understand the gifts that this season can bring into your life, how the season’s energy will affect your life and how to triumph over the season’s challenges, lessons and fears.  When shuffling the cards, allow your mind to focus on the current or upcoming season.  Ask for guidance, wisdom and support for the season so that you may use that time wisely and for the greatest benefit of all.

Card  #1 – lesson  – what is the lesson for the current season, what lessons do you need to be made aware of

Card # 2 – fear – what fears are blocking your path this season, what fears will the season help you to release

Card #3 – challenge – what challenges are you facing this season, what will you need to look out for

Card #4 – outcome  - what is the outcome for this season

Up to 2 additional cards can be drawn to find helpers or guides for the season.

Angel Reading for Summer 2011

This summer brings a lot of new energy for creation, manifestation and shifts in vibration.  As the summer progresses, allow your spirit to flow with the energy and not fight against it.  There are many challenges that are coming this summer, to strengthen you and strip away anything that is keeping you from fulfilling your life purpose.  Allow the new vibrations to free you from past regrets, past hurts and past mistakes.  Allow the higher vibrations to raise your spirits, encourage your heart and ease any worries that may cause you to think that you cannot overcome the current challenges in your life.

The Angel Cards for this summer are:

Crown Chakra – Pay attention to your ideas, as they are messages of true Divine guidance sent in answer to your prayers.  Allow the light to flow down through your Crown Chakra, let it help in manifesting your heart’s desires and find new ways to solve the challenges in your life this summer.

Shield Yourself – Protect yourself from harsh or fear-based energies by envisioning a cocoon of healing light surrounding you.  Call upon Arch Angel Michael to assist in protecting you, your family and your home this summer.  Ask that you are protected from all negativity, whether it is from people, entities or vibrations that may cause harm to your life.  If you plan to take a vacation or weekend trip away from home, be sure to shield your home and property so that it is protected while you are away and that you are kept safe from harm while you travel.

Earth Angel – You are a lightgworker who has come to Earth to teach about love.  Summer weather allows us to plant flowers, grow fruits and vegetables and enjoy the splender of Mother Earth.  Whether you are planting flowers or enjoying the summer weather, take time to share your love and appreciation with the Earth.  She enjoys the beauty of the flowers, the laughter of children as they play games in the park or families swimming in the ocean.  Allow yourself to be filled with love and peace this summer.

May Day Angel Card Reading

Happy May Day! Celebrate spring and fertility! Tap into the primal energy and allow it to fuel your power to manifest new creations in your life.  Accept abundance into your life today.

Today’s Angel Cards are:

Manifestation Power - Use your spiritual gifts and natural abilities to attract your desired outcome.  Allow your heart’s desire to be forefront to your mind.  Picture and visualize what you want to accomplish this season.  Plant the seeds to grow happiness, abundance and success this summer.  You are the co-creator of your life.  Work with the divine to create a life that fulfills your life purpose.

Ear Chakras - Notice messages that appear as sounds, music and words, from both external sources and within your mind.  These messages are real answers to your prayers.  Your ear chakras help you to hear the truth and divine guidance that the angels and your spirit guides want to share with you.  They also help your throat chakra to open to speak the truth from your heart so you can share the wisdom that you receive.

Mediumship - You have the natural ability to connect with departed loved ones.  If you follow the card above and open your ear chakras, you will awaken your ability to hear from those who have passed on and spirit guides.  These cards go together, to help you find out about your spiritual gifts.  Claim your abilities to lead a spiritual life.  Allow your spirit to communicate with you on a deep healing level.

Take time to spend in nature today to help you connect with the Earth and awaken your spirit to the spirituality and divinity that surrounds you in every moment of the day.

Earth Day Angel Card Reading 04.22.11

Celebrate Earth Day with the Angels! 

Take time to be outside and celebrate the day and connect with the Earth.  Allow yourself to be one with the Earth and all creation.  Remember that you belong on Earth, and that you are a gift to the Earth with all of your wonderful vibrations, love and beautiful soul!

Card 1:  Arch Angel Michael – “I am with you, giving you the courage to make life changes that will help you work on your Divine life purpose.” 

Today, call upon Arch Angel Michael to help you connect with the Earth, feeling surrounded in protection, love and support.  Ask Michael to clear any barriers that keep you from being at peace on the Earth.  He will help you to remember your life’s purpose and remove the fears that keep you from living it out each day.

Card 2: Angel Zanna - ”You are protected from all types of harm.  The worst is now behind you.  I ask you to relax and feel safe.”

Allow your spirit to feel at peace today.  When you heal your spirit and feel at peace, the Earth can also heal and be at peace.  Release any negativity, fear and anger that you may be holding onto and allow your spirit to be filled with light and love.  Spread peace around the Earth today, every one you meet bless them with peace and harmony from your spirit.  You are protected and there is nothing to fear, allow yourself to be a peace every moment of the day.

Card 3: Arch Angel Haniel – Sensitivity - ”You are extra-sensitive to energies and emotions right now.  Honor yourself and your feelings.”

Have you been feeling extra sensitive to criticism and negative energies?  Don’t allow mercury retrograde to cloud your judgement.  Remember that you can control your thoughts and that no one is truly out to harm you or hurt you.  Often times it is only in your mind that others are putting you down.  Believe in yourself and remember that you have something amazing to offer the world.  Be gentle with yourself today, honor your feelings, remember that you can choose how you react to others and can remain at peace no matter what is going on in the world around you.

If you have a chance today, go sit out in nature.  Walk in the forest, stroll on the beach and take in the sunset.  Celebrate the beauty of the Earth!

Angel Card Reading – 3.31.11

Angel Card Reading for March 31, 2011

Remember who you are and embrace the love that surrounds you in every moment of every day.

Earth Angel – You are a lightworker who has come to Earth to teach about love.  Do you consider yourself a lightworker?  If you are reading this message, you are probably a lightworker.  Allow your heart to open to possibilities beyond your current job or life situation and realize that you have an amazing love and gifts to share with others.  Do not be afraid to share your soul with the world.

Shield Yourself – Protect yourself from harsh or fear-based energies by envisioning a cocoon of healing light surrounding you.  Remember to shield yourself every morning and before you go to bed at night.  Surround yourself in a golden white light that will allow in only that which is of your highest and greatest good and allow out only the highest vibrations of love and light.  If you would like to learn about shielding, please contact us.

Archangel Raphael – Arch Angel Raphael comes forward to offer you healing at this time.  Be wrapped in his wings of love, healing and peace.  Let yourself be free of pain, discomfort and troubling emotions.  May Arch Angel Raphael’s wings of love provide a safe haven when life gets too stressful and remind you that you are loved unconditionally just for being you.

 

Tarot Reading for Mercury Retrograde (3.30.11 through 5.11.11)

Mercury Retrograde begins today, March 30 and will continue through April 23, 2011 with final release from the effect on May 11, 2011.  Mercury Retrograde can be a great time to release old habits, heal old relationships and let go of old hurts.  However, if you fight the energies, it can be a frustrating time of technical difficulties, miscommunication and challenging relationships and planning troubles.  Often during retrograde, people who you haven’t talked to in years will come out of the woodwork, old relationships that need to be resolved step forward.  Do not allow ‘what ifs’ to cloud your judgement, enjoy the time that you have with them during retrograde, but realize that they will be gone just as soon as retrograde is over and you will have to reclaim the life that you were trying to escape from with new consequences to be paid!

With this retrograde period being in Aries, people who have Aries as their sun sign or part of their natal chart may be particularly affected.  Aries brings the following lessons to this retrograde period: learning to put yourself first, standing with your truth and taking charge of your life with firey creative passion.

Kerry and I pulled 3 cards for this Mercury Retrograde Period:

1. Four of Pentacles

The Four of Pentacles brings with it the lesson to reflect on what you need to let go of and what you need to balance in order to bring your physical affairs back into order.  With Mercury Retrograde, it is about bringing both your spiritual life and physical life into harmony.  Neither side should be pulling you off balance.  Allow the beneficial energies of this period to assist you in letting go of what keeps you from having a firm foundation in your life.  Although you may dream of your castle in the sky, you have to build the ladder to take you from the ground to the sky.  Take time to build your wealth, security and be grounded to the earth.

2. King of Swords

The King of Swords will assist you in discerning the truth in situations that you face during this period.  Be honest with yourself, what have you been thinking about yourself or others that isn’t true or an outright lie?  Are you really seeing all sides of a situation or are you jumping to conclusions?  Mercury Retrograde often causes people to jump to conclusions because communications are so troubled.  Don’t jump to a conclusion that isn’t true during this time period.  Allow yourself time to breath, sort out the situation and remember the truth of who you are and the person you may be about to have a fight with.  The King of Swords will help you cut through the fog to see the truth and save you from making a fool of yourself.

3. Eight of Wands

The Eight of Wands will help you to accomplish your goals during this time period with speed and efficiency.  Often Mercury Retrograde will create obstacles in your way, allow the Eight of Wands to assist you in finding creative solutions to those problems.  If there is so much going on, be sure to take a break.  Use this time to streamline all areas of your life.  Take time to be aware of the synchronicities that could be showing up in your path with people from your past.  Perhaps there is an opportunity for healing, business or an old goal that could be achieved by talking with a friend from the past.  Do not allow pride or ego to keep you from speaking with an old friend simply because you became too busy to talk with them regularly.  Pick up the phone and make that connection.  Eight of Wands will help you to travel with ease, start up new projects and receive positive news during this retrograde period when it would otherwise be difficult.

 

Upcoming Event: Saturday 4/2, 12-2pm at UCCL

 I hope you will be able to join me there.  Cathy Mason leads Tarot Illuminations and it is a wonderful circle of spiritually active adults who support one another as we explore the tarot and other spiritual topics. 

This session’s topic is: Awakening Intuition

Having an open third-eye chakra will help you take your readings to the next level. Intuition plays a key role in reading tarot and helps you to pick up any deck with confidence, knowing that your intuition will help guide you to read the cards effectively and provide deeper insight and guidance to the ones you are reading.  I will present a guided meditation designed to open your third-eye chakra and expand your awareness beyond the physical dimension.  Fun exercises will open you up to experience psychic connection with another person to gain insight, wisdom and guidance to help that person on their spiritual journey.

Winter’s Dark Night

Many people seem to be experiencing great shifts and changes this winter.  They seem even more extreme than usual.  The vibrations surrounding the Earth right now are very chaotic, they are filled with revolution, freedom and breaking away from patterns of behavior.  This energy can seem extremely disturbing and downright irritating as it brings to the surface old fears, doubts, anger, rage, sorrow, grief and despair.  Work with the energy by claiming the light within your heart and soul.  Remember that the light shines into the darkness and does not fear what it sees in the shadows. You have more power to claim this energy and use it to build your dreams than to cower in fear from the velocity of the energy.

The dark night of the soul waits for no one to place a date on the calendar to deal with it.  The dark night comes when the soul is ready to see into the deepest, darkest depths and come out as a shining light, braver, stronger and bolder than before.

Cave of Despair and Grief

This winter provides a great time to experience the dark night of the soul.  Winter is the time to reflect, review and release all of the past year and often times, years of pain, mistakes and regrets.  This winter seems to have taken the darkness to a whole new level.  With weather extremes and energetic vibrational extremes forcing many of us to take refuge and hide away.

Go with the natural flow of the season.  Take time to relax, give yourself the freedom to review your life without prejudice or criticism.  It is ok to have made mistakes and it is ok to forgive yourself and others for pain that has been caused in your life.  Let go of the pain, release the regrets and reclaim your power.

If you feel as though you are overwhelmed by the darkness of the season, make sure to keep light around you.  Light candles, turn on the xmas lights if they are still up and replace light bulbs with full-spectrum light that will reflect the sun. 

Be gentle with yourself and take time to nurture your soul at this time.  Plan activities that will boost your spirit, feed your soul and renew your energies.  Surround yourself with friends and family who support you and let go of those that don’t.

Winter can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to drag you down to the depths of despair.  You will survive the winter, allow this time of reflection to help you clear the path to a brighter spring.  Reflect on new goals, new ideas and new creations to birth this spring.  What do you want to plant? 

In order to plant anything, you will have to let the ground rest and regain the vital nutrients the soil needs to allow any new life to grow.  Nourish the soil of your soul’s garden.  Clear away the debris that will threaten the new growth and weed out all that zaps your garden of vitality.   Allow yourself to sit in the mud, let it soak into your pores and cleanse away the toxins that have built up.  You will feel so much better when you are done and wash it all away in the rain.

Fucking Perfect to Me

 

I saw the video the other day for Pink’s new song Fucking Perfect.  Some of the lyrics really tapped into part of my psyche and reminded me of how much pain people are feeling.  That we are built in such a complex way, our minds can be filled with so many traps to drag us down into darkness, depression and despair.  Many times these thoughts stem from childhood where we were beat down, broken down and made to feel less than the magnificent masterpieces that we are.  We are each a masterpiece, miracle creation that is waiting to shine the special light that is inside.  Don’t allow fear from childhood or stress from life keep you from being who you came to the Earth to be.  You are more than the darkest thought or fear that hides in the depths of your mind and the doubt that hides in your heart of hearts.

 ”You’re so mean

When you talk

About yourself, you were wrong

Change the voices in your head

Make them like you instead”

Change the voices and thoughts in your head that say you aren’t good enough, you aren’t strong enough or you aren’t pretty enough.  Whatever it is, there is never ‘enough’ to make you perfect.  YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT – BE YOU! Be who you came here to be.  Be proud of who you came to the Earth to be. 

Who you are is enough, just as you are right now.  Every time a negative thought or fear pops into your mind, cancel and delete it.  Replace that thought with one that affirms your beauty, intelligence, charm, love, kindness, generosity, creativity…the list is endless.  The negative back talk is so limited, don’t get trapped in the cave of darkness simply because it is comfortable.  Be brave and enter into the light, enter into the world with the faith that who you are is enough just as you are. 

If you need help with affirmations or letting go of negative thoughts, please contact me.  I would be more than happy to help  you heal and release negative thoughts that keep you trapped in pain, hurt and fear.

I realize that for some of my readers that this video may be triggering, especially the images of suicide.  Please if you need help, support or feel triggered, reach out for help.  If you are triggered by images of suicide, I would recommend not watching the video.

Pink – Fucking Perfect  – (Suicide Trigger Warning!)

I copied the below warning signs from www.save.org

Warning Signs of Suicide

• Ideation (thinking, talking or wishing about suicide)
• Substance use or abuse (increased use or change in substance)
• Purposelessness (no sense of purpose or belonging)
• Anger
• Trapped (feeling like there is no way out)
• Hopelessness (there is nothing to live for, no hope or optimism)
• Withdrawal (from family, friends, work, school, activities, hobbies)
• Anxiety (restlessness, irritability, agitation)
• Recklessness (high risk-taking behavior)
• Mood disturbance (dramatic changes in mood)

If you or someone you know have any of the above signs, please reach out.  Seek medical attention immediately, call 911 if you are tempted to harm yourself or know of anyone else who wants to hurt themselves.  If you see the signs, don’t wait for someone else to figure it out.  Those precious moments could be what changes into a mircale that is transformed by help, healing and recovery.
