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.
