Have you ever taken the time to list things you LOVE to do?

Things you can do indoors, outdoors, by yourself, with others, when you have lots of "extra" money, when you don't, when you have lots of "extra" time, or when you don't...etc?

If you do have a list...do you do at least one thing on it everyday?

Some of us don't even know what we enjoy doing or being!!!!

This sounds overly simple but knowing and doing the things that you Love opens up an energetic space to bring in more things and opportunity for us to be in JOY.

Be, Do, Have, Give, or Create one thing today that you LOVE!

Make this a healthy habit and see what unfolds and expands in your life :)

Let's see what card energetically supports this message today...

Playful Voice!!!! How Divinely Perfect!

Q:  What is most beneficial for this collective group to be aware of for the month of February 2016? 

A:  This month, and I kid you not, is about saying Yes to Love.  It is about opening up your Heart, letting the walls that you have built up down, and  being ready to give and receive love.  This goes far beyond romantic love and encompasses a depth of Love that transcends this human experience.

And while it transcends this human experience, it is also very intricately weaved into it because we are here to experience all aspects of the physical world as we bring the Divine Essence of who we are as Spiritual Beings into it, and express that as our physical self.

This is a good thing!  Challenging at times for sure, but such an honor to have this experience all the same ;)

This first card we see is The Empress.  She is about Nurturing and Mother Energy.  She represents growth and this is a card of nurturing in all its forms  While there are many more meanings to this card...the purpose she serves in this reading is one of Nurturing your Heart.

The second card we see is the Six of Pentacles.  This is an interesting card and can suggest Co-Dependency.  I have to admit while I kind of get what it means I am also at the age where I was just a bit too young when there was so much talk about it and it was the focus of so much therapy. 

When we look at it in relation to Saying Yes to Love, we can see there is a giver and a receiver.  We don't have to beg for Divine Love in our lives, it is the Nature of what we are. 

Can we tap into that Universal Love and say yes to it and know that we are worthy of not only receiving that love, but Being that love? 

Yes we can!!!  We are both a receiver and transmitter of Universal Love by our birthright. 

The 3 of Swords Reversed is our Helpful Energy Card.  The card shows a picture of a heart with 3 swords going through it.  It is a card of Wounding.  In the reversed position it symbolizes us protecting our hearts and then when ready,  letting go of the pain.  Forgiveness of self and others becomes a healing salve.

We protect our hearts for as long as we need to and then at a certain point we are called to release that wall of protection so we can give and receive love freely.  Because this card is reversed we can see that we are in the process of reversing the wounds of the heart.

If we keep the walls of protection up for longer than it serves us, we begin to shut down and can feel our life force energy diminishing and a restrictive feeling or emptiness in our chest. 

The obstacle card is the reversed 6 of wands.  Upright it is a card of Triumph.  Reversed it is a card of self-doubt, fear of falling short and I'll add what Spirit is showing me:  fear of not being worthy.  Yes I know...I'm tired of this unworthiness issue that tends to show up so often, and I guess it is around until it isn't anymore.  Hopefully sooner than later right!

The final card is 8 of Wands and this is a card of movement.  Simply put this means you are at a position where you can move that wall of protection energy around your heart and, in fact, most likely are already in the process of dong that either consciously or subconsciously. 

I've had a significant increase in the amount of private clients this month and this reading gives me an indication as to why that is:  Humanity as a whole is ready to open their Hearts even more, and February is a great month to do that!!!

What can you do to help remove that wall around your Heart? 

1. Choose to live in your Spirit and Soul.  Simply making a choice is very powerful and opens you up to receiving guidance and insight from the Universe.

2.  Notice any imbalances in your life as far as giving and receiving love in all its many forms.  Awareness builds Consciousness.  As a Chiropractor I used to work with would often say:  "See it for what it is and it must change." 

Pay attention to any Forgiveness work that you may need to do.  The Universe always supports you during forgiveness work and this month it is especially powerful to do this type of work.

3.  Be willing to live your life in peace, freedom, love and cheerfulness.

Take some deep breaths in and exhale as you focus on your Energetic Heart radiating Love to every cell of your Being and back out into the Universe ;)

                                                      ***Please excuse any typos :)***

Q:  What is most beneficial for this collective group to be aware of for the month of December 2014?

A:  I used several decks for this reading and used no fixed positions.  The first clear message is:

 Structure and Order are a big part of life here on planet Earth..  Within that Structure is room for Ease, Flow and Grace but the container is important to the Flow...keep the container itself pliable so it can expand but strong enough for it to provide structure.  

The first card is The Sisters of the Seasons from Colette Baron-Reid's Wisdom from the Hidden Realms deck.  

We see a tree with a woman fairy sitting on a branch playing a flute and three beautiful women listening in awe and reverence.   The keywords are Cycles of Growth, Natural Law and Divine Order.

Being connected with our Divine Self is essential this month.  Typically this is a time of year to be focused outward with all the "things" that need to get done for those that celebrate the Holidays.

For those that have more of a low key time this month..keep in mind that if you are an empath that you may be affected by the overstimulated energy of the collective.

 There is lots to do for many, a time of being with extended family and friends, presents to buy, food to purchase and prepare, travel plans to be made either for yourself or as you help your children get back home for the Holiday and for the sacred ceremonies of the different religions and spiritual practices.

It is important to remember to take time in the morning and throughout the day to connect with your Heart and Soul ~ with your Divine Self.

The next two cards are from the deck I co-created with 38 amazing women from around the world, Awakening to your Divine Self Oracle Deck.

We see the cards Restore and Cracking Open.  These correlate with the Sisters of the Seasons and confirm that there is a cycle of growth here for you.  Take the time to balance your Body, Mind and Spirit as much as you can ~ because from this place of centerdness and balance you are more prepared to "Crack Open" and expand your Consciousness.  At this time your heart chakra and throat chakra are expanding. You are doing some releasing in these two chakras specifically.  

Now would be a GREAT time to incorporate simple Yoga into your life.  If you are an avid Yoga person...be sure to not let your practice slide during this month.  If you have practiced Yoga in the past and have not for awhile...consider adding it back into your daily practice.  If daily is too overwhelming consider 3 times a week.  

Know that you are fully supported by your Angels and Guides during this month.  Well...always actually but they want you to remember to call on them and you are never alone especially during this month.

There may be tears this month but know that the courage and willingness to take good care of yourself is of the utmost importance.  If you need to "go to your room" and have some alone time...do it.  That is your Soul calling you to connect with your Sacred Self and remember...Only Love is real (from a Course In Miracles.)

A major clue that you need to take a time out is if you are having a hard time making a decision.  Use this as your Connection Meter.  If you can't make a decision know you are being called to connect with your Divine Self and fill yourself up with that Life Force Energy and listen for the message your Inner Wisdom is whispering to you.

The Universe is offering you the gift of Grace this month.  All you need to do is open to receive :)

To go one step further...Breathe the energy of Grace into your Heart Chakra and Throat Chakra once a day for the month of December.

Additional Decks used:  Life Purpose deck by Doreen Virtue, Archangel Raphael Healing Deck by Doreen Virtue, and The Soul's Journey by James Van Praagh.

Insight From The Heart
                                                   5 Card Cross of Truth Reading 

Q:  What is most beneficial for this collective group to be aware of at this time?

A:  The first energies we see that overlay the Reading are:  

                              Clarity and New Beginnings.  

That is kind of cool as it seems that with the Back To School energy of September, it has always been full of New Beginnings :)

As we go through the reading keep these two energies in mind.

In the first card we see the Strength card in its reversed position as the basis for our reading.  This would suggest that we will get some clarity around where we have poor impulse control in our lives.  where we might be showing up as timid, or having weakness of Spirit.  Also depression energy may make itself known,  and also where you may be yielding to temptation.  

Seeing this with clarity will lead to new life affirming beginnings so while it might look like "oh no, this is going to be difficult.", it is actually leading to something beneficial.  It is important to keep that in mind.  

Here are some good questions to reflect on this month:

1.  What makes me feel vital and alive?
2.  When have I been surprised by my own strength and courage?
3.  Where in my life do I most need strength?

The second card we see is the 9 of Pentacles.  This is the card of Fruition.  Being successful, prosperous, efficient, independent, and disciplined.  It's about thriving, appreciating your accomplishments, living an ordered life, enjoying Nature, beautifying or upgrading a property or business.  

In its shadow aspect this energy carries perfectionism, and an intolerance for physical imperfection or emotional messiness. 

Do some reflection on this and see the amazing energy available and see if any of the shadow aspects affect you.

 Life is a journey and it doesn't always look very pretty.  How  you move through those moments is just as important as how you move through the joyful times.  

Do you judge yourself or others harshly in the less than ideal, less than perfect moments of life?

If you do, then  ask yourself how that is working for you.  Is that serving you?  Do you get upset with yourself and then start judging yourself and making yourself wrong?

Look at what serves you and what doesn't.  That clarity aides in changing it.  A Chiropractor I used to work with would often say, "See it for what it is and it must change.".  The Ministers at the Spiritual Center I used to attend would say "Awareness builds consciousness."  

Life itself provides feedback with each action we take.  It is up to us to pay attention and be aware of how things feel.  If it doesn't feel good...make a different choice.

In the 3rd card, the helpful energy position, we see The World card in the reversed position.  This again shows us we are in the energy of "becoming", entering a New Beginning.  As we are co-creators of our life within the framework of our being, we have infinite possibilities available to us.  This is exciting for some and a wee bit overwhelming for others.  

Tune into your True Essence and let your Divine Heart lead the way.  When you live and follow a Soul-Inspired way of being...life is much more in a joyful flow.  Pay attention and see if the fearful ego leads the way or the flow of the Soul.  

As the painter of the landscape of your life...are there areas that you will benefit from being more specific in what you want to experience?  Now would be a good time to get specific and tend to the details.

The fourth card is potential obstacles, challenges to be aware of and we see the Hierophant reversed.  

It is very important to see if you are acting in ways opposite to your values and also if you aren't speaking your Truth.

 Now that doesn't mean telling people what to do or being intentionally hurtful...but the true coming from your heart of hearts and speaking your truth with as much kindness and compassion as possible.  

 It can also mean that you are being guided to follow your own path which may be outside your family of origin, or cultural or societal norm.  And that you are too afraid to do that.  So take a peek at what and where your heart is calling you but you might feel like your loved ones or society will judge you.
Good questions to ask yourself are:

1.  What long held beliefs or values no longer serve me?

2.  Do I feel pressure to conform in any areas of my life?

The last card we see is the Outcome/Answer/Advice.

We see the card of the 4 of Swords.  This is a card of resting and recuperating.  Of going within and being meditative.  A time to lay low for a bit and de-stress.  It is time to re-store and re-charge your batteries for as you are entering into a New Beginning you will want to do it well rested.  Then it is much easier to gain clarity and prepare yourself for your new adventure, one that is co-created by you in Harmony with your Soul.

To sum up the reading:
September is a great time for you to take some YOU time and go within, do some great self-care, and allow yourself to be filled up with Life Force Energy.  

• Be sure to include meditation/reflection/contemplation time.
• Take a sea salt/essential oil bath.
• Get a massage 
• Do a mini cleanse
• Take some naps.
• Create a special sanctuary if you don't already have one, and if you do be sure to spend time there daily.
• Go out in Nature daily when possible.
• Have an energy healing session to clear, release and balance your system.
• Take more off time from social media.
• REST in whatever way that looks like for you.

Once you are feeling more rested you will want to begin getting clearer on where you are now and where you are being called to go.

• Journal answers to the questions posed.  
• Do some automatic writing or go into your Akashic Records.
• What is working in your life and what is ready to be let go of?  Do some release work as guided.
• Start getting some goals/dreams/desires written down and see what authentic soul-inspired action steps are shown to you.
• Since at this point you will have re-charged your batteries...begin decluttering your physical space as well as your inner mental space.  
• Refresh, update, upgrade areas of your home or business that no longer reflect you and where you are going.
• Refresh your website to reflect who and what you are now.
• Review your personal values and see what no longer serves you or where you are ready to go deeper.

This month you will gain clarity and you will be better prepared for your New Beginnings :)

You got this!

I had so much fun being interviewed by the amazing Lyn Thurman from www.lynthurman.com.  Lyn is a writer, inner goddess unleasher and  spiritual guide.  

We talked about living a Soul Inspired life, trusting your Inner Wisdom, the healing arts, and how life isn't always sunshine and rainbows, and how to be with that.

We laughed a lot and got a wee bit silly :)  Enjoy!

5 Card Cross of Truth Reading 

Q:  What is most beneficial for this collective group to be aware of at this time?

A:   Within our lives there are cycles within cycles within cycles.  Astrologically at this time there is some intense stuff going on and within that we all have our own cycles of time.  Plus we are all at different years within the 9 year cycle as well, so while this reading is done based on the Collective Energy of this group it will have different meanings for each of you as well as some similarities.

Take what resonates with you and leave the rest on a mental shelf.

 For this reading I used the Awakening To Your Divine Self Oracle Deck that I co-created with 38 other amazing, incredible intuitive artists, healers, coaches and teachers from around the world.  For those that own the Deck already I invite you to pull the cards that have come forth and lay them down before you and see what extra messages are revealed for you.  If you don't already own a deck and would like to learn more you can purchase them on my website here or go to our group site and see if there is an Artist near you :)  Our group site is www.fearless-sisters.com

The cards are:  Intention, Incubate, Birthing Wild, The Mystery and Angel Gratitude and they reveal a beautiful story:

The first card is all about Intention.  

Do you take the time to set Intentions in your life?  

How do you feel about them?  

Do your Intentions come from you heart or your mind?

 Do you become frustrated when it appears that you are out of alignment or not connected with your Intention?

Intentions are different than goals though both will guide you on your journey to living a life you love.  Going with the flow of life is great but even that in and of itself is an Intention, so pay attention to what Intentions you are bringing into your awareness and life events.  Why not choose ones with purpose and consciousness that bring you great joy in your life?

The second card is Incubate:  This card tells you to give your full attention to your body and moods.  It suggests that by doing so it allows you to discover your own natural cycles.

 Tie this into what was written the first paragraph and we see a deeper message...one that tells us to not compare ourselves to others.  We can admire people and have that help motivate us and show us what is possible for us...but when we compare our personal and/or business success to others that leaves us in a less than life-affirming state of being and can even lead to a downward spiral.  

Honor your personal ebb and flow between feeling energized and creative and sluggish and uncreative.  On those less than energized days spend more time going within and replenish and restore yourself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

The third card is Birthing Wild ~ This card talks about the constant movement of Life and even talks about "recycling" of Energy.  It also has this sentence in the message:  "The eternal amniotic ocean of blue creates magical moments."  That is important because in the cardIncubate it is actually a little mermaid fetus in the amniotic sac which is surrounded in an ocean of blue!!!!!  

Soooooooooo...what is incubating for you and ready to be birthed?  Do you know?  Or do you have no idea?  Has your mind been so busy that you need to take some literal "time out" and enter that period of incubation, of stillness before you bring forth your next creation?  Astrologically this is a GREAT month to bring something new to life.

The next card we see is The Mystery and it is in the "obstacle, challenge" position of the reading.  

Why would The Mystery be a Challenge?  

Could it be because you are letting impatience or frustration of not fully knowing what is wanting to come forth get in the way?  

Or if you do know what is incubating that it isn't coming forth fast enough to your liking?

 Or does The Mystery cause fear of the unknown details?  

Do you need to cultivate your faith in the Creative Process and Cycles of the Universe? 

Reflect on these questions and see what comes up for you.

The final card is the Answer/Outcome/Advice and it is Angel Gratitude ;)

This card reminds you that you are fully supported, to listen to your Intuition, and that you are held in Angel wings.  It also reminds us to  immerse ourselves in the Energy of Gratitude.  

This is an exciting time for you as you create and stay focused on your Intentions.  They are incubating and getting ready to be birthed out into the world of physical form.  Be patient and have faith and remember that you are fully supported.  Enter into the energy Gratitude often as you go about your day.

Enter the stillness if needed to help you get centered and focused and connected with your Divine Self.  If you can be by water to enter into a reflective mode you may want to do so.  If you are not able to go to an actual body of water...then consider taking a bath once or twice a week for the rest of the month.  Or do both!

If Angels are a big part of your life you may want to spend some time with your Angelic Team.  See if you can  feel their love and hear their messages on a deeper level.

Lastly we see that their are three green cards:  This tells me that Love is in the air.  Either romantic love or love of self.  Either way be sure to pay attention to your heart this month.

 If you have been thinking about looking into HeartMath...now is a good time to do so.

 There may be some serious heart healing going on, on a physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual level.  Remember you are fully supported by those that love you, and if you need extra help reach out.

With Heart,
