Release your power!

Dress of Alchemy - Release your power!

I haven't used these cards for such a long time and the illustrations on them are so beautiful. These cards remind us that there will always be darkness alongside the light, and to accept those darker parts of ourselves with love.

The card that the angels guided us to today is the Dress of Alchemy - Release your power!

We consistently and constantly undervalue what it is that we have to offer the world. Often we are too busy comparing ourselves to others and ruminating on what we don't do well enough that we forget about the things that we do brilliantly.

Every single one of us is special and unique. The universe designed us this way so that we would all have something to offer the larger community of love and energy. Each of us see things with a slightly different perspective (sometimes very different!) and this is a gift we have to share with the world.

Acknowledge and embrace who you are today. Stop standing behind the exhausting negative mind chatter and allow the true you, the one that lives in your heart, to step forward.

Honour everything you know you are today. Side step the thoughts that tell you, "oh, I don't do that better than the next person" or "why would anyone want to hear what I have to say". Be brave.

A great way to overcome the doubt, nerves and second guessing is to focus on the service of your actions. Remind yourself that you are being your best and truest self so that the world can be a better place for everyone.

By living in your heart, and giving from your spirit you are contributing to something bigger.

It is an honour for us to receive your energy in this world.

Open Your Heart to Love - Jesus

Open Your Heart to Love - Jesus

You may or may not know that Jesus is considered one of many Ascended Masters in the realm of the angels. An Ascended Master is someone who has lived here on Earth, and through their loving and compassionate actions have been elevated into the spiritual realm to continue their healing work in the afterlife.

Regardless of your religious beliefs, and I deal here only in spiritual beliefs, Jesus is a master healer who brings the message of love and acceptance.

How often in your day do you feel your heart closing it's doors - out of fear, protection, anger or rejection?

Today the angels are encouraging you to allow the doors to your heart to remain open. For everyone. Don't be afraid of what might come if you allow yourself to be open. As love is the most powerful emotion there is, when you are living in love it isn't possible for other emotions to enter your heart.

Focus on the outflow of love. Some of you may sense it as a feeling, others may see it as a colour - perhaps soft pink. However you experience love, let it flow from your being today. Bathe everyone you come into contact with in your loving energy.

Don't be attached or concerned with how others receive your love. That is not your journey. Your purpose is only to give the love that lives freely inside of you.

Make sure you remember to bathe yourself in your pure, beautiful love. For it is you who needs it most.

Imagine if we could all open our hearts to one another, without fear, and in the knowing that the love was being received and equally returned to us with peace and gratitude. We are the only ones who can make that possibility a reality.

Open your heart to love. Let it fill you with light. Be happy.

Notice the signs

Notice the signs

"Yes the signs you've been receiving are heaven-sent. We drop feathers, coins and other signs upon your path to remind you that you're loved and never alone."

The angels are constantly communicating with us; the way we live our lives determines whether or not we hear them. Sometimes the noise and busyness of life makes it difficult to hear the soft and gentle messages that they are sending us.

Today the angels are encouraging you to sit still for a minute, to be quiet and listen. For it is in those quiet moments that we are best placed to hear their whisperings. They are also reminding us that repetition is often a sign of the angels. If the same thing keeps happening over and over again - the same dream, the same issue, the same feeling - pay attention to it and look into what it is trying to tell you.

For me, I often get these messages in a way that I need to translate. My computer hard drive keeps telling me that there isn't enough disk space. No matter how much I clean out or delete it just keeps popping up. So I think, maybe this is not about the computer (or not ONLY about the computer). Perhaps there are other areas in my life where I need to make space? Perhaps things are a bit over full at the moment and something needs to be let go in order for things to function more easily?

By listening and paying attention to these signs in the every day moments of our lives we are creating a conversation with our angels that will only expand and grow. The more we listen the more they have to tell us.

If you are feel you are in need of some guidance at the moment, take some time to listen.

Look around you for all the little signs that the angels have placed along the way.

Notice the signs. xx

Remembrance

"Resurfacing of past feelings and emotions"

Yesterday the angels spoke to us of the wonderful shift that is occurring at this time. Today they are letting you know that any tricky feelings you are experiencing as a result of this change are perfectly normal and all part of the process.

It's the philosophy that in order to gain something new in our lives we must first make space for it, and often that requires us letting go of something old, something that we no longer need. This isn't a process to be afraid of - the angels would never encourage you to release something that is precious to you. They will help you to find those things that truly are old to you, the things that have held you back up to this point, and encourage you to set them free. Sometimes it is a person that we need to release from our energetic space, and that can feel much harder to do.

A great way to release someone from your energetic space with love and care is to create a little visualisation - a farewell ceremony if you like. This can be used whenever you are feeling hindered by someone else's opinions, beliefs or energy.

Take some time to sit quietly to gain some peace. Take three deep breaths in...and out. In your mind picture yourself standing in front of the person you wish to release from your energetic space. If you like you can hold their hands, if that doesn't feel comfortable that's fine too. Just stand there facing them. As you stand there facing this person, in your mind say the following, "It is with gratitude and love that I farewell you in this moment. I thank you for everything that you have given me to this point and I wish you love, peace and harmony. May the universe receive you lovingly with open arms." You may like to visualise them being wrapped in a cocoon of soft pink light.

At this point you can let go of their hands and take a step to the side. You are not stepping backwards, but across, into your new path with nothing obstructing your way. Take a moment to feel the air around you, feel the freedom that creating this new path brings. When you feel ready, in your mind say the following, "I now release you into the greater cosmic universe. May you be free to continue on your own journey, as I am now free to continue on mine. With love, goodbye."

When you feel ready, allow yourself to take some steps forward until the person is no longer in your sight and you feel detached from their energy. Open your eyes whenever it feels right.

It's always beneficial after something like this to drink lots of water and if possible take the time to do something nice for yourself. A loving gesture that gives your spirit a bit of a hug!

Remember, this process is part of a bigger whole. One where you feel fulfilled and excited about the life you have. A life where you are surrounded by others who love you wholly and completely. You deserve nothing less.

"This is a wondrous time of exploration, romance and creativity"

There is a big shift occurring in your life right now and it is most definitely a positive one. I don't normally get such strong feelings about the importance of a change, so I know that this one is significant for you.

The angels are telling you today to allow yourself to be fully open to everything the universe is attempting to offer you. You are on the cusp of moving into a higher state of consciousness, where you feel much closer to your spirit and further along your path. You may notice it in the form of easy interactions in your life - things will seem to just fall into place. This level of synchronicity will highlight the change and give you an opportunity to embrace it with an open heart.

You are bubbling full of life and excitement. If you don't feel it right now, trust me, it's there, bubbling right beneath the surface. It may require you to let go of a few old things in order to allow the flow in of love and guided energy. Take it as a cleansing opportunity to finally release those old energies and beliefs that have been keeping you from taking that important step forward into your new life.

You hold the keys, dear one.

You are standing at the door with your toes gently nudging against the wood.

All that is needed is for you to raise your hand and unlock the door.

You can't possibly imagine what lies in store for you on the other side, because it is too beautiful. It's like nothing you've ever seen before and it is going to change your life forever. This is a wondrous and monumental time in your life. Your world is about to change for the better and you won't ever look back.

Embrace the excitement that comes with this change and know that you are fully supported by the universe and the angels. They are with you, and guiding you, every step of the way.

I'm so excited and happy for you! xxx

Thinking Of You

Thinking Of You

"A loving thought, serendipity"

The angels are sending a strong message today. After guiding me to post the Dr Emoto water crystal video on the power of our loving thoughts and words, they have now given us this card to focus upon.

Most of us have people in our lives who we love dearly but that we don't get to see anywhere near as often as we would like to. The angels are reminding you that you can connect with these loved ones no matter how far away they are. Dr Emoto's video shows the impact our focused thoughts have on the physiology of a water crystal, and given our bodies are well over half water, we can know that these thoughts have the same effect on our bodies.

By spending some quiet time today thinking of someone you care about and sending them love in your mind and heart, you are in fact giving them a healing and blessing of your own.  This is something very real and something that they will feel and benefit from. Why not try it?

You are being reminded today to always believe that you can make a difference to your life, and the lives of those you love. You can't control the outcomes of the lives of others, but you can give them love for their highest good. Your care and loving intention will make a difference.

Imagine how much healing and love we could create if we all took some time each day to send love and blessings to those we love - and also to those who need it most.

What a beautiful world we would be creating! xxx

Enthusiasm

Enthusiasm

"Live today with zest and gratitude, explore what excites you, and let your enthusiasm flourish!"

None of this should be hard. When it is hard it's a good indication that you're not quite on the right path. Synchronicity works when you allow yourself to follow the guidance of your soul.

You know those things, that no matter how long you spend doing them, you never get tired of? That's your passion - your purpose - your soul's delight. Seek out those things and honour them as the purpose of your life.

Today the angels are encouraging you to give yourself permission to love your life. Yes, we all have commitments and things that 'need' to be done. But when we are working on the bigger picture of our lives we need to think with joy and excitement.

Anything is possible.

You are the sole creator of your experience here.

You are the soul creator of your experience here.

Life is wonderful, in all its shades of colours and emotions. Sometimes they feel hard to be in and other times they feel light. When you are living in connection with your spirit everything seems perfect - whether perceived good or bad. It all serves a purpose and writes a page in the intricate story of our lives, and indeed our soul's journey.

Write some pages with joy today. xxx

Sense of self

Sense of Self

"It is vital that you honour your sense of self now" (...and after the baby is born.)

Today the angels are acknowledging the journey that you are on and encouraging you to place yourself front and centre. It can become difficult to keep track of the end goal when there are so many competing priorities, but they assure you that by putting your needs first everything else will fall into place.

Acknowledging and owning your needs and wants sends a clear vision to the universe of what you would like to achieve. When we put ourselves last and act only to fulfil the needs and wants of others we send a confused message to the cosmic energy, making it difficult for them to know what needs to be done.

Remember that your intentions act like a shopping list for the universe. You need to be specific. Not so much in detail, but in how you want to FEEL. "I want a home that feels peaceful, light and protected" "I want a new job that is satisfying, engaging and rewarding". The universe will then figure out all the details and will work out what the best option is for you. That's when you've just got to pay attention to the signs they send you - the random call from out of the blue from a friend who thought you might be interested in a job going...or the open house you just happened to notice as you were driving home from work.

Today, 'own' your wants. Don't feel selfish or ungrateful for wanting things another way. Give thanks for the things you already have in your life and know that you will be a better person to those around you if you are on your path and living the life you have chosen for yourself.

Creativity

Creativity

I am so drawn to the mandalas in this deck at the moment. They are so complex yet beautifully simple in their message.

The angels are today asking you to connect in with your creativity. They are encouraging you to seek out those things that reignite your passion and get you excited about life. For some of you it might be reading a good book, taking up an old hobby or sitting down with a colouring book, some crayons and connecting with your inner child.

Feeding and nourishing your creativity is often something that we forget to do. We wonder why we are feeling a lack of inspiration but rarely reflect upon how we got to this lacklustre space. Nourishing creativity is like feeding a plant - the more water, sunshine and love we give a plant the better it grows, the more it flowers and the more beautiful it becomes. Think of your creative spirit as the plant. Actively and lovingly do those things that 'water' it. Give it the sunshine through activities that resonate with you and; love it by reminding yourself that you are a wonderfully creative being.

You are a wonderfully creative being.

Nurture your creative flower. Allow it to grow.
