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!

10 of Cups – Barriers to Abundance

10 of Cups, Rider-Waite-Smith

Many times in readings, there will be multiple cards in a spread.  It can be useful to look deeper into the reading to understand the connection between the many cards and how they can affect a situation or outcome.  Often the interplay between the cards represent certain lessons or conditions that have to occur prior to the final outcome of the reading. 

In combination with the 10 of Cups, these other cards can reveal lessons, challenges or increased blessings.  Sometimes the other cards represent barriers to receiving blessings, blocks to harmony or imbalances in your life. 

Below are just a few examples of how the 10 of Cups can be impacted by other cards in a reading.  Use them as a guideline for your

own readings for when other cards show up together so you can learn how the combination of cards can impact the true meaning of a reading. 

Devil	If the Devil shows up with the 10 of Cups it could represent a lack of joy or peace.  That you feel like your spirit is in bondage and you are unable to see blessings in your life.  Let go of the bonds that bind you in the feeling of lack and unworthiness to receive.  You are worthy to receive infinite blessings of abundance and prosperity! Infact, the Universe wants to reward you and bless you right now in an overflowing shower of love, joy and peace!
Tower	If the Tower shows up with the 10 of Cups it could represent that you are standing alone, afraid of success and receiving infinite abundance.  There could be a time of fear, chaos and upheaval prior to you receiving abundance in your life.  Allow the 10 of Cups to assist you in being victorious in these challenges.
3 of Swords	If the Three of Swords shows up with the 10 of Cups, it could represent disharmony and heartbreak in your life.  You could be experiencing a time of loneliness and having a guarded or closed heart.  Allow the energy from the 10 of Cups to assist you in opening your heart and healing past wounds through forgiveness and letting go of fear.
9 of Swords	If the Nine of Swords shows up with the 10 of Cups, it could mean that instead of infinite joy, you are at first experiencing a time of intense sorrow and perhaps depression.  Your spirit and life may feel tangled up in problems and bound to people or places that do not feed your soul.  Let the 10 of Cups assist you in connecting to the Divine for increased wisdom, support and grace to make it through these challenges in your life.
10 of Swords	If the 10 of Swords shows up with the 10 of Cups, it may almost mean that you are at the opposite ends of the joy/sorrow spectrum.  Your life may be filled with the deepest despair stemming from disconnection from the Creator.  This disconnection has resulted in a loss of hope and a feeling that your life is without any divine energy or blessings.  Allow the 10 of Cups to be your silver lining and light in the darkness, this card reminds you that you are always connected to the Divine and that the Divine wants to shower you in unconditional love, joy, and abundant blessings.  All is never lost and return to a state of peace and harmony by opening up to spiritual and emotional support in the world around you.
Lovers	If the Lovers show up with the 10 of Cups, it is a double blessing, reflecting abundance of love, particularly in family relationships.  This double blessing will allow for increased harmony and time to allow for bonding with family and friends in new ways.  The Lovers also reminds us to return to harmony and balance.  If there is any area out of balance in your life, the Lovers and the 10 of Cups will assist you in bringing balance back to all areas of your life with ease.
Star	If the Star shows up with the 10 of Cups, it means infinite shining blessings of bliss filling your life!  Overall you will experience an increase of joy, ecstasy, positive blessings to sparkle and shine in all areas of your life.  Let your own light shine as you will be receiving infinite abundance and prosperity now. Don’t hold back or fear anything, look for the positive energy in all areas of your life, as you are surrounded in the glow of light and protection at this time.
Universe	If the Universe shows up with the 10 of Cups, it can mean infinite physical and spiritual blessings on all levels.  With an increase in emotional and physical contentment and overall fulfillment in your life on Earth. Let yourself go with the flow of life and experience an inspired way to manifest abundance in your life.

Be Proud of Who You Are

Expanding Heart by Alicia Crystalus

 

Be proud of who you are!

No one sparkles or shines

like you do in the entire world!

Being proud of who you are is not about bragging or boasting. It is about knowing and accepting who you are with unconditional love.  Use your strengths to help yourself and others. 

Take time to meditate on the Expanding Heart above, let it gently remind you to expand your love outside of yourself.  Let your heart expand with unconditional love, mercy and compassion for yourself and all others.

Energy of the Earth

Energy of the Earth

  

The Earth is surrounded in its own bioelectric magnetic field.  Just as we are energetic creations, the Earth is an energetic creation.  There are many different vibrations that create the Earth’s energy.  These vibrations range from low, grounding vibrations (often seen as the color red) to higher vibrations that can lead to deep spiritual connections to the Earth (often seen as green).  Every vibration is available on the Earth, we just have to tap in and commune with Her.  There are thousands of planes and dimensions on the Earth.  People participate in only a few of these dimensions during their lifetime unless they learn to develop ways to astral travel either by meditation or shamanic journeys.  

While we go about our daily lives, we may often feel too busy to connect with the Earth in a meaningful way.  Driving our cars, working inside all day and most of the ways we entertain ourselves, keeps our focus off of the Earth and on man-made creations.  It is vital to your well being to connect with the Earth on an elemental level.  Your spirit longs to commune with the Earth, to ground and relax in your Mother’s warm embrace.  Nature revitalizes the spirit, bringing you back to a state of harmony and peace that often cannot be found in any other way.

When we connect our spirits with the Earth’s, we find that we are fully supported in our lives.  We remember that we belong here; we are loved and supported as children of the Earth.  We are able to return to the present moment, the now of our existence where all is at peace and all is well. 

The Earth wants nothing more than to provide love, nurturing and support to all that live upon her.  By bringing our spirits into harmony with the Earth’s vibration, we are easing her transition to the next stage of her development.  All of us, including the Earth are on a spiritual journey, evolving our own experiences in new and different ways.  The Earth is healing herself of all the years of mankind’s life on the planet.  

In areas where man has lived for thousands of generations, the Earth has taken on vibrations of fear, hate, control, rage, war, grief, and revenge.  Those areas where there has been the most build up are still in conflict.  The genetics of the Earth and the DNA of the humans that live there carry genetic changes that create new situations of conflict.  People are often filled with generations of hate for another culture without even understanding why.  A good example of this is the Middle East.  In order to clear that area of the human conflict, the Earth will need to be healed and brought back into harmony with us.  Do you ever come across areas where you feel sorrow, sadness or anger and don’t know why?  Perhaps you are picking up the emotions stored within the Earth.  

Anyone can help the Earth to heal and release lower vibrations of fear and hate.  When you become aware of an area on the Earth that you feel called to help heal, meditate on that area and send it love, peace and ask that it is brought back into harmony and balance.  The power of our intentions is amazing.  Never underestimate the miracle that focused love and peace can create.  

As more people become connected to the Earth and in harmony with the Earth’s vibration, it will be easier to heal not only the Earth but also ourselves.  Our peace is intertwined with the Earth.  As our peace increases, the peace on the entire Earth increases.  As your vibration spirals higher in love and light, the Earth spirals higher in love and light.  Your light will help raise the light on the planet in exponential ways; reaching out to transform hundreds if not thousands of others.  

Connect With the Earth Every Day  

 Some easy ways to connect with the Earth are: 

• Watch the sunrise/sunset and really take in all of the glorious colors
• Take a walk and focus on the energy you feel under your feet
• Meditate and connect with the Earth
• Clean up litter and trash
• Beautify the Earth by planting trees, flowers and other plants
• Interact with animals and birds that you encounter
• Seat with your back against a tree or rock and let your spirit connect with its energy
• Release stress, fear, hatred and anger to the creator for better use.  The Earth does not need to reuse this energy.
• Take part in global efforts to direct healing and peace to natural disaster situations that threaten the Earth, wildlife and humanity
• Develop your spiritual abilities to see the energy of the Earth flowing through trees, plants, etc.

Prosperity Mandala – What does Prosperity mean to you?

Last Wednesday night, a couple girlfriends and I got together for our weekly ladies’ night chat.  We often meet up to try a new place for dinner or grab a cup of coffee and discuss our lives.  Our chats often lead to spiritual discussions, reflecting on our dreams, visions, latest spiritual books we have read or methods we have tried.  Over the next few weeks we will be focusing on prosperity and abundance.  A topic we often reflect on.  Abundance comes in so many different forms from physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and materialistic wealth.  Our beliefs about prosperity and abundance can both bless us and hinder us, drawing to us what we need and blocking what we may feel we do not deserve.

One of the exercises we are performing at the moment is a Prosperity Mandala with Tarot Cards.  The first part of the Mandala is to pick out the cards that represent prosperity to you and meditate on why each of those cards represents prosperity.  If you want to do this too, shuffle your favorite tarot deck and then pick 3-5 cards that mean prosperity to you either by the picture or what you know the card represent symbolically. 

The PROSPERITY cards I chose were:

1. The Star – shining brightly, prosperity of time, relaxation, acceptance, brilliance
2. 10 of Cups – overflow of joy, blessings, prayer, praise, cup runs over with water of life, depth of hope, treasure, gifts, abundance in all things
3. 9 of Discs – abundance in the ability to do what I love, able to do the work I enjoy, soul’s purpose without the need for other work, time constraints or barriers
4. 9 of Wands – abundance of power, creativity, fire, passion, inner fire to create and manifest what I desire, life I want to live, overflow of inspiration to create ideas, paint, write, etc.

 

The next step was to figure out which cards represent items that require money and which ones require other factors besides money and why.

Cards that require money to be fulfilled:

• The Star, 10 of Cups and 9 of Cups

These cards all required money so that I can have the freedom to do the work and activities that I enjoy the most.

Cards that require more than money to be fulfilled:

• 9 of Cups, 9 of Wands, The Star

These cards require me to let my spirit be free, fully expanded and shining brightly.  They require that I set aside time to relax, enjoy myself and the world around me.  They require the belief and confidence in my self and my ability to complete my soul’s purpose.  Another factor that is required is to be at peace with myself and my life.  These cards represent abundance in spirit, infinite possibilities and courage to face my fears and live my dreams.

What cards did you pick?  What does prosperity and abundance mean to you?

Mapping Out Your Journey – Creating Your Map

This is the final part of the Mapping Out Your Journey series.  Now you will create your map to your future.  If you have completed every part of the process, you will have a good idea of where you want to go in life.  In this part of the process, you will create a vision board that will help you visualize and focus on your intentions for the future.

If you missed the other parts of the Mapping Out Your Journey series see the below links:

• Mapping Out Your Journey – Introduction
• Part 1: Journey to the Past

• Part 3: Journey to the Future

For this final part you will need the following supplies:

• Large Tag Board
• Magazine Clippings that reflect your life
• Markers, paints, pens
• Creativity, imagination

Review your answers to the questions on your past, present and future. Your tag board will be arranged in 3 parts.  A suggestion for how you can arrange your images would be: placing your images from the past on the left hand side, the middle will be the present and the right hand side will be the future.  To help create your path, draw the past and draw the future.  When you have completed each side, draw the present.  Fill in the blanks from your past and the steps you want to take to create your future.  As you connect your past to the future, fill the present with images and words that inspire you, motivate you and will empower you when you are afraid to make changes or feel unsure of your life’s path.  The future portion should reflect how you want your life to be next year, 5 years from now and overall vision for your life.  

 Don’t be afraid to create the map for your life.  You can decide where you want your life to go and set the intention of what you want to create.  The more detailed your vision the easier it will be for you to create it and the less mystery and fear there will be about your future.
