Wild Woman

This morning I wanted to share with you an image from the Wild Woman Sisterhood Facebook page.

I know our feeds are jam packed with inspiring images these days (which is great!), but how often do you really stop to read them and take in all that they have to offer you?

This image really caught my attention as it embodies everything that I believe.

This is YOUR time. You are READY.

The angels are here waiting to support you. All they need is your permission to clear the way.

Just sit with this image today and absorb what it has to share.

You are a beautiful being in this world. Love and happiness await you - in fact, they're already here, you just have to open your eyes to see them.

Eternal Love

Eternal Love

"Happiness, Harmony, Fulfilment"

What a beautiful card to start our morning with -  Eternal Love.

The efforts you have been making over the last few days are cultivating a happy and loving environment, both inside and out, for you.

As all rainbows signify the sunshine after the rain, you are moving through a rocky or unstable period into one of more calm and peace.

Today the angels are asking you to remember that you control the sunshine in your life. Whether it shines dimly, or boldy and brightly is all within your control. Continuing the positive, loving thoughts strengthens and nurtures the solar plexus, which is the chakra centre for our personal power and self esteem. The best way to visualise your healthy, vibrant solar plexus is to imagine a beautiful, bright yellow sun in the centre of your tummy, just above your belly button.

The more positive thoughts you send your solar plexus the healthier it will become. You may notice that you begin to have a quiet confidence in yourself, you feel more sure of your decisions and less likely to compare yourself to those around you.

Affirm to yourself today, "I am a lovable, worthy being. I deserve the best and welcome it into my life."

Prepare yourself for a wonderfully happy day today!

Goddess of Compassion

"Self criticism is diminishing your sense of self worth."

We all have things in our lives that we think we could do better - whether it be at home, at work or in our love life. The thing is, there is no 'perfect'. Did you hear that? THERE IS NO PERFECT.

When you focus on achieving and receiving from a positive mindset, that's great. You are working from a place of acceptance, love, and a knowing that you deserve the best in life. This is very different to punishing and berating yourself for not being good enough.

A great example of this is with exercise. If you exercise because you hate your body and you are disgusted at how much weight you've gained you are operating from a place of punishment, judgment and pain. More often than not, from this place you find it hard to motivate yourself to exercise, you don't enjoy it and you drop off the routine after a short space of time. When you exercise from a mindset of loving your body, appreciating it for all the work it does for you - the fact it carries you around EVERYDAY - then you see the joy in what you are doing for yourself and you feel more inclined to keep it up. It's a shift in mindset that makes all the difference.

If it's too much of a stretch to see your body as perfect and beautiful physically, you can begin by appreciating it for it's functionality. You can't deny that the fact you can walk, breathe and exist with ease is it's own little miracle. Celebrate and thank your body for that! Not everyone is born with functioning limbs and a healthy heart. Try to put into perspective the minor ailments that can distress you and focus on the overall positives that you have.

Once we begin to love and respect our bodies for all they give us we will start to choose healthier foods and lifestyle patterns. It's a win-win!

There is no perfect body - or perhaps, it is better to say that they are ALL PERFECT bodies. Yours, mine - everyones. We are all different and therein lies the beauty.

To quote the wise sage Fatboy Slim,
"If everybody looked the same we'd get tired of looking at each other."

I love my body

I love my body

"I create peacefulness in my mind, and my body reflects this peacefulness as perfect health."

Your mind and body are so intricately linked that when you treat one a certain way the other reacts in response to that treatment.

Your body is so sensitive to the way that you think about yourself that if you have negativity in your mind it can flow through to your body. For example, anxious thoughts (which are based on fears) can create panic attacks that produce real physical symptoms in the body; negative self image thoughts can bring on cravings and emotional eating that cause further weight gain. These are just two of many examples.

The angels encourage you today to try ingesting only loving and peaceful thoughts. If you are unwell, or injured, send love and care to those areas of your body that need to heal. Treat them like a small child - encourage them, appreciate them for all they do. By attaching negative, harmful thoughts to the situation you only prolong the illness or injury. When you support your own healing with your loving intentions you give your body permission to move on from the current situation it is stuck in.

Instead of thinking, "My stupid foot, I can't believe I've injured it, now I can't run. Why can't it just hurry up and fix." Think, "Thank you, foot, for carrying me as long as you have. I obviously need some attention and care at this time. Perhaps I need to slow down for a minute. Thank you for reminding me of that. I will support you while you heal and we will move forward together when we are both ready."

By loving and accepting yourself exactly as you are you remove the ability to think damaging thoughts about not being good enough. It is from this point that you are able to create more healthy and vital situations for yourself and your body.

All my relationships are harmonious

All my relationships are harmonious

"When we create harmony in our minds and hearts, we will find it in our lives. The inner creates the outer. Always."

The angels are encouraging you today to reflect upon your relationship with self. With the super moon passing over our skies last night it is a fantastic time to freely release old, unwanted patterns and thoughts you hold about yourself.

Think of your internal emotional and spiritual environment as a beautiful garden. All gardens need loving attention so that they don't become overrun by weeds and debris. Lovingly attend to your inner garden, watering and fertilising it with positive and affirmative thoughts. Weed away all the spindly negative 'weeds' that stop you from being able to enjoy the wonderful flowers that live there.

Picture how beautiful your inner garden can be. Imagine all the gorgeous flowers - so many colours, so vibrant, such delicious perfumes. Continue to visit there throughout the day, making sure that whenever you notice a weed you lovingly pluck it away and plant a lovely thought flower in it's place.

As you continue to tend to your inner garden you will find that your outer environment will respond. When you live in love and positivity the universe has no choice but to create a world for you that supports that.

Get gardening you gorgeous green thumbs!

Dreaming of you

Dreaming of you

Today the angels are reminding you that we are all connected energetically. Whether you are far away from someone geographically, or they are no longer here on Earth, you are still connected.

Have you ever had one of those instances where you have been thinking of someone you haven't spoken to for a while then out of the blue they call/text/email you? This is our energetic connection at work. Through our thoughts and loving intentions we send out energy to those people we care about, and the fabulous thing is - that love is actually received! Consciously or not when we send love to another being they receive that love.

This works wonderfully when someone is unwell. By taking the time to sit quietly and focus our thoughts on sending them healing energy or light we are giving them much needed assistance.

We can also connect energetically with someone who has passed away. We are all souls in essence and as such we never truly go away. If you are missing someone who is no longer here take the time to send them some love, talk with them and sit quietly to see what you receive in return.

We can all benefit from sending each other a little extra bit of love. Why not take a few minutes out of your day to focus your thoughts with love on someone you haven't spoken to for a while. Maybe even send an email or text message out of the blue. It is amazing how much this can contribute to someone having a wonderful day.

Moonlight

Moonlight

"Travel, Romance, Potential"

There's something in the air today, especially this evening. If you've been hiding under a rock lately the angels suggest that now is a good time to get out and show your face to the world. They are telling me that there are people in your life who love you dearly, and who want to share their love and happiness with you.

Don't underestimate the wonderful potential that shared energies can create. Maybe it's talking to someone about an idea you have and they amazingly have the next piece to your puzzle. Or perhaps there's someone that the universe would like you to meet. Make yourself available to the world, and the universe, so that you can receive everything that is headed your way.

June 23 is our next full moon in Australia and has been coined the 'super moon'. This is when it sits closest to the earth. For the next few days leading up, and the days after, there will be all sorts of crazy, wonderful energies flying around.

Free your spirit into the loving arms of the mother moon and see what destiny has in store for you!

Achievement

Achievement

"Keep focused on your dream"

We all have beautiful, wonderful dreams for ourselves. Today the angels are encouraging you to stay clear in your mind about what it is that you want, and to believe that you have the ability within you to achieve it.

If it is a dream that is being realised enough that you can take some action on it then spend at least 5-10 minutes today DOING something to achieve it. If you dream is still an idea in your heart and mind then spend 5-10 minutes visualising it coming true and ask for guidance as to what steps you need to take.

Every action and thought we direct towards our dream brings it closer to reality. We are sending a clear message to the universe about what we want and we hold a clear belief that we WILL receive it.

Don't fall into the trap of procrastination or negative self talk today. They are nothing but tricks by your ego to try and hold you back from releasing the power within your soul. Once you can identify these cheeky tricks you can brush them aside and get on with being the person you were always meant to be.

Keep a special little spot in your heart for your dreams. Protect them, keep them safe and look after them like a precious child. Give them all the encouragement they need in order to become your reality.

Dream big people!

Relationship

Relationship

"Your primary relationship is with yourself and God, and every other relationship follows from there. To attract, heal, or balance a relationship, then snuggle more closely with your loving Creator. As you feel safe and loved within, so shall your other relationships bloom and prosper."

Today the angels are reaching out to those of you who are having difficulty with a specific relationship in your life. The word they keep emphasising to me is "expectations". They are asking you to take a close look at the expectations you place in this relationship to determine whether they are reasonable.

It's easy to get so caught up in a relationship that we begin to expect things from our significant other that are actually things we are responsible for giving to ourselves. For example, have you ever found yourself in the situation where you are complaining, "I just wish he/she would show me more affection, more care - would make more effort to show that they love me."?

In this moment it is really important to take stock of our own ability to self love. Chances are you've been neglecting yourself, or paying too much attention to those negative and doubtful thoughts, which send you seeking affirmation and approval from someone else. If you can turn those requests back onto yourself, "I just wish I would show me more affection, more care - would make more effort to show that I love me.", you'll find that what others think of you becomes almost inconsequential.

So the key today is to first give yourself whatever it is that you are seeking from others in your life. This opens you up to be more accepting and understanding of their needs as well as your own.

In order to feel like you are first priority you need to treat yourself as first priority... then others will follow your lead!

Be your number one best friend today and allow the love from others to seamlessly flow your way.

Yemanya - Golden Opportunity

Yemanya - Golden Opportunity

"Important doors are opening for you right now. Walk through them."

Yemanya is the African / Brazilian goddess of the sea. Today she is with you to let you know that the sign / opportunity / opening you have been waiting for has arrived. She is a wonderful nurturer and Mother Earth goddess so whilst she is nudging you forward she is also lovingly and gently supporting you through the entire process.

Sometimes when we are told an opportunity has arisen we can get nervous and think, "But I'm not ready". Yemanya wants you to know that another doorway will always open later down the track if you can't step through this one today. This is also true for those of you who are afraid that you can't recognise the opportunity that is in your life right now. If it is aligned with your soul purpose it will persist until you can see the way. There's no need to worry.

For those of you who feel ready and who can see the gift in front of them - get to it! Today is the most wonderful day for realising your dreams and jumping on a universal wave that you can ride right into the shore.

The universe is constantly giving us gifts. It is our job to recognise and receive them.

Be wonderfully happy today people!

I release all fears and doubts

I release all fears and doubts

"I accept myself and create peace in my mind and heart. I now choose to free myself from all destructive fears and doubts. I am loved and I am safe."

Following on from yesterday, today is all about acceptance and love. Yes, you are worthy and yes, you are wonderful. It really is as simple as that. For all those negative, nagging thoughts that tell you otherwise? They are wrong.

Please sit with this for a moment. When you were born you were beautiful, pure and perfect. Events, experiences and actions may have happened to you, or around you, throughout your life but they cannot touch your soul. You will always remain beautiful, pure and perfect.

You will always remain beautiful, pure and perfect.

With this in mind release the unwanted stories that you tell about yourself. When they creep up just keep reminding yourself that your soul is untouchable. Nothing and no-one can change the perfect beauty that is within you. It is however up to you to choose to free that wonderful soul out into the world.

Today repeat to yourself: "I accept myself and create peace in my mind and heart. I now choose to free myself from all destructive fears and doubts. I am loved and I am safe."

Life is simple and easy

Life is simple and easy

"All that I need to know at any given moment is revealed to me. I trust myself and I trust life. All is well."

Before going to sleep last night I pulled this card, then I pulled it again for you this morning. 

The message from the angels is to relax. Sometimes we get so focused on trying to achieve our soul purpose that we turn it into a chore. We can be hard on ourselves if we perceive we're not doing enough, or we can feel a reluctance at working on ourselves because it feels too hard.

Life is about joy.

Do things because they feel good to you. Do them because they fill your heart with love and joy. Make choices and decisions based on the knowing that it will make you happy. 

That is all that is asked of you today. Let your actions and words be fueled by joy and watch how they multiply in your world.

Spiritual Connection

Spiritual Connection

"You are one with the Universal Source of Love. You are a spiritual being connected to a wellspring of vitality, strength, and inner power."

Today the image on our card is a beautiful mandala by Jo Thomas Blaine. It is the Mother Ocean mandala and it connects us in with our greater spiritual mother - the Universe. You are being reminded today that you are so deeply loved by the universal loving God, however you perceive it to be, and the angels. For me, the word God is synonymous with the Universal Loving Energy that is all around us, supporting us to be all that we can be. The angels are messengers that exist midway between here and the Universe, communicating and supporting all our wishes and needs.

Anything and everything that you ever need is held within the arms of the Universe. It is your job to love and respect yourself, to value the person that you are, and to know that you deserve all the love and happiness the world has to offer. It is your born right to be filled with joy.

There is no-one in this world who is more deserving than you. The Universe is built on an energy of abundance - it is limitless - it can cater for everything you need.

Tune into your beautiful, colourful soul and see the wonder that lies there. Listen carefully to the true dreams of your heart and take some time today to believe that they will come true.

Jewel within a Teardrop

Jewel within a Teardrop

"Appreciation, Spiritual & Emotional Reconnection"

A jewel within a teardrop. Such beautiful imagery; for in all release and letting go we bring ourselves closer to our true spirit.

Think about the image of a teardrop - delicate and perfectly formed. Now imagine in the centre of the teardrop a beautiful, glistening jewel. Like a diamond or a clear quartz, it is pure and gently sparkling. Feel the jewel growing larger and brighter until it eventually grows larger than the teardrop and it's light shines so brightly that it's all you can see.

This is a beautiful metaphor for whenever we face sadness, pain or loss. To see that within the hurt that there is a wonderful new beginning, a true gift that will, in it's own time, shine brighter than any of the pain you have felt. The positive in every negative. Try to hold this vision with you whenever you need help to get yourself through a difficult situation. Even if the jewel is only tiny to begin with, trust that it will grow bigger and brighter the more faith and trust you place in it.

By trusting and believing in the jewel we are in fact trusting and believing in ourselves - in our soul / spirit / true self - whatever you wish to call it. We are trusting that everything has a purpose and we are aways divinely guided and supported in everything that we do.

You are never alone. The angels are always walking beside you - waiting for you to invite them to help you. Ask for their assistance and you will receive it. All you need to do is trust and believe that the help will come, and perhaps most importantly, believe that you DESERVE the love and guidance. You are perfect just as you are and need only feel love and compassion for yourself.

Trust and believe in the jewel existing within the teardrop - it is always there for you.

Ganesha

Ganesha

"Clearing away obstacles, Protection, Guidance"

Today's card is one of my all time favourites - Ganesha, the beautiful elephant headed god. He is one of the five prime Hindu deities.

Work with Ganesha to remove any obstacles that are in your path, call upon him to make the way clear. Sit with the beauty in the imagery of this card. Stare into Ganesha's eyes and feel the burdens being lifted away from you. Whenever you are feeling stressed or blocked you can call upon Ganesha to help you - to protect you and give your guidance where needed.

The angels are telling me that they pick Ganesha in particular today to focus on the element of guidance. For those of you in Melbourne, this weekend is the Mind, Body and Spirit Festival. If you get the chance it's a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the healing world, learning about different modalities and perhaps finding some of the guidance you need. Wander around the stalls and ask yourself what you are drawn to. Trust your inner voice and go discover more. The angels will be whispering in your ear telling you just what you need!

One stand close to my heart is the Blue Angel stand, with my fantastic Master Teacher, Martine. If you like the Gaia Oracle and Angels, Gods & Goddesses cards that I often use, you'll be able to find them there plus many more!

Perhaps over the weekend you could also take some time to read up on some topics that have interested you, but you've never taken the time to know more about. The internet is such a wonderful resource that enables us to learn and grow.

Angel of Relaxation

Angel of Relaxation

"Let go of desired outcomes and you will get what you want."

The last few days have been a lot about putting your intentions out into the universe. Today is about taking a foot off the pedal and resting in the reassurance that everything is going to plan and you needn't stress over it.

Remember the analogy of putting in your order for dinner? Well you have placed your order and now it's time to enjoy the chit chat with friends while you wait for the meal to be cooked. Enjoy life - live a little, laugh a lot and remember how fantastic it is to be a human being!

We are here to experience joy, in whatever form it takes. If for you at this time joy looks like sitting on the couch watching a crappy tv movie then go ahead and do it! But maybe your joy is taking a long walk in nature, through some beautiful trees - or maybe by a creek?

Today do whatever it is that is going to make you feel relaxed and at ease. Be gentle with yourself and recognise how hard you have been working. That trip to the masseurs might just be in order for this afternoon? The more we look after ourselves through nurturing and loving the better human we become!

Angel of Finances

Angel of Finances

"Honour, give thanks and value the blessings you are about to receive."

As anyone who works with abundance will tell you, the key factor to you leading an abundant life is believing that having an abundant life is possible. In order to receive you must be open to receiving.

Are you someone who is always searching for that little bit more but deep down has the belief that you'll always be stuck in the same position? In holding the belief that things won't change (despite you desperately wanting them to), the universe receives the message that things shouldn't change. So they don't. It's very common but something that with a little effort we can adjust.

Take some time to meditate upon today's image. Feel yourself absorbing the luscious gold light that surrounds the angel in this picture. Drink it in, let it fill your being. Breathe deeply in the knowing that you already have great wealth inside of you. Feel the gold light unlocking all those blocks within you that say there's never enough, or you don't deserve more. Release them to the universe.

Be grateful for the wonderful things that you do have in your life, and imagine how fantastic it will feel to have even more. Hold onto this feeling as if you already have these things. For today imagine that you are the wealthiest person in the world. That's not to say go and spend more money than you have, but live from the energy that you are an abundant being who has everything that they need and more.

Start giving the universe the messages that you want it to follow: "I am abundant" "Money flows to me easily""I always have more than enough money to buy the things that I want and need"

Thank the universe for providing: "I thank the universe for the wonderful gifts it always provides me with" "I am grateful to have the loving support of the universe and all the angels"

Begin living your abundant life today!

Release your fears

Release your fears

"It is time to challenge the fear that is limiting you. Confront the fear, and the power it holds over you will disappear."

Today I was guided to pull a card from a pregnancy deck, with the reassurance that the message would be for all of you out there, not just the mums to be. Of course those of you who are pregnant may want to relate this message more directly to your pregnancy.

The mandala on this card features beautiful butterflies, symbolising the metamorphosis that we are all going through. Each time we are faced with a new challenge in our life a new metamorphosis occurs as we inch closer to the soul being we were born to become.

Today's challenge is not an unfamiliar one, as it something that we have been doing some work on over the last few weeks. It's that pesky fear that is trapping us into being our mediocre self. It's important for me to make it very clear here that mediocre is not a label for particular things - i.e. "If I work a desk job instead of being a movie star I'm living a mediocre life." In this context being mediocre refers to being less than your full self, hiding behind fears that tell you that you're not good enough and settling for feeling 'ok' but not truly happy. It's time to stop letting the fear trap us in our mediocrity.

Be like the caterpillar today - it doesn't know when it enters the cocoon exactly what it's going to come out the other side like, but it does it anyway. It's a scary thought to take away all that's familiar and just trust that if you release the fear and keep on going something beautiful will occur. But it will. It always does.

So trust today. Release your fears and trust that what's to come will be bigger and more beautiful than you could ever imagine.

My Life Story and the Law of Attraction...

My Life Story and the Law of Attraction...

"Each and every component that makes up your life experience is drawn to you by the powerful Law of Attraction's response to the thoughts you think and the story you tell about your life. Your money and financial assets; your body's state of wellness, clarity, flexibility; size and shape; your work environment, how you are treated, work satisfaction, and rewards - indeed, the very happiness of your life experience in general - is all happening because of the story you tell."

It's Monday and let's start the week with a fresh perspective and a loving outlook on life. Everything that has happened up to this point is part of the past, and everything that is in front of us is a future that we have yet to create.

The angels are empowering you today to create the mental framework from which you can build all the wonderful things you want in your life. But don't just think these positive, creative thoughts - FEEL them. Louise Hay explains it perfectly - it's like ordering a meal at a restaurant. We read the menu, put in our order to the waiter and then we wait for the meal to arrive. We don't panic or doubt that the meal will come to our table, we just trust that when the time is right and the meal has been prepared and cooked, it will be brought out to us just as we requested.

It's the same with the universe. Dream your life, your hopes, wishes and goals. Put in your order to the universe and trust and believe that it will come to you. Don't panic if it isn't there instantaneously, don't get into that dark space thinking "it's too impossible, it can't really happen." Just put your order in and go about the rest of your day, knowing in your heart that once the universe has cooked it all up for you it will arrive.

So let's start today by loving and dreaming, knowing that anything we can think we can create.
