I’ve pulled a card from Toni Carmine Solerno’s Ask an Angel oracle cards…

Divine Justice

As I reflect on this card, I am reminded that even when we feel unbalanced or agitated, there is always Divine Order from the larger perspective. Everything is in balance, even when we perceive it as unbalanced. It does sound like a contradiction but let’s explore this more deeply.

The issue is that when we see something as a negative experience, we judge it as bad and then we start to fight it. We don’t want to feel anxious, frustrated or in pain. We just want those feelings to go away. However, THAT is where we struggle the most. The struggle is not in experiencing agitated feelings, but in fighting against them. Our focus ON the ‘negative’ feelings increases and it generates momentum like those cartoon snowballs rolling down the mountain.

When we feel out-of-sorts we seek to come into a happier state again and we assume that something has gone out of balance with us. We always want to fix what is wrong (it’s natural!) so we try and push the feelings away or ignore them. Or, we go the other way and make a big drama out of it, maybe even taking on these negative feelings as part of our identity and ‘who we are’. We put so much pressure on ourselves to be neutral and balanced. Really, would we be here in a human experience if we expected balance?

This is a new time in our soul growth and it’s time to ALLOW all experience as part of the whole; to stop hiding from parts of ourselves that want and need expression, and to stop turning against ourselves when we do experience the shadow side of ourselves.

It’s also time to release ATTACHMENT to feelings that come up, because often this isn’t even ‘our stuff’ that is causing us to feel off-kilter. We’re energetically sensitive beings who are constantly picking up on the energy of others around us, including mass consciousness fears and anxieties. If we can release attachment to feelings that come up, we can allow them to naturally be released and to find resolution.

How we do this is to be an observer rather than a victim. We can breathe and be in a mindset of releasing what is not ours, but also in allowing ourselves to release what IS ours without judging it or examining it. It could be old energy ready to be released, even from past lives. If we try to make sense of it, we can get caught up in old energies that just want to move on. So see yourself as a tree that sways in the wind or as water flowing down a stream.

The lesson I find in today’s message is that we need to accept and trust ourselves, to allow all emotions and feelings to have a place in our lives without judgement.

Let’s remember that energy simply needs to flow and resolve itself – it is not here to harm us. We are the ones that cause ourselves the most harm when we fight against what is natural. Let’s release the labels of something as good or bad – it is all experience. Let’s savour the experiences for what they are. We certainly don’t get such a richness of experience in the non-physical!

“It is what it is” – I find this statement helpful in accepting “what is”, in the moment.

Breathe with your soul . . .

Today’s card is from the Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue . . .

Peace

Goddess Eireen’s message states:

“There is no need to worry, as everything is working out beautifully.”

The calming shades of blue reinforce this card’s message of peace. Eireen’s gaze is soft and understanding, yet in the background dolphins are playfully jumping out of the water. Water symbolises emotions, so let’s take a moment to feel for where our emotions may be heightened, leading to feelings of drama and sometimes helplessness. Let’s allow the calm to wash over us, to open us back up to a sense of playfulness shown by the dolphins.

I’m also drawn to the two things in Eireen’s arms – one reminding us of the abundance that is always there for us, and the other reminding us of innocence and intuition (the purple wrap).

Feeling into the gentleness and support of this card helps to release the mental and emotional stress – to embrace a sense of inner calm and knowing.

This message is truly a reminder that everything is okay. We can breathe a sigh of relief and remember that our best guidance comes from within, when we are in a quiet, peaceful state, and where we are tuned in to our intuition.

External life can often dominate and send us into a spin, but it is NOT what is important. Love and connection within oneself is what is truly important. Let’s remember that today.

Peace

Today’s card is from the Ask an Angel Oracle Cards by Toni Carmine Solerno . . .

Protection (Archangel Michael)

As I sit at my writing table there’s a large pine tree down the street that has been calling to me lately – getting my attention like an elder observing or watching over me. Yesterday I asked what message/purpose the tree had in relation to myself, and the card I pulled was ‘protection’. So is it any surprise that after just connecting with the energy of the tree again, I turn to the cards for a message from spirit and the card is again ‘protection’?

So, this isn’t a general protection message today, it’s about the power of nature to be a protector for us. It’s about gaining your strength and vitality by regularly tuning into nature and breathing with her. Protection comes from being well grounded and balanced. If you’re not anchored well in the physical, you tend to be up in the clouds, finding it hard to cope with daily decision making and activities. You also open yourself up to being influenced by external energies, picking up the emotions of others, and being affected by non-physical entities.

The stronger your connection to the earth, the easier it is to drain off external energies and their adverse effects. Take your shoes off when you walk to the letterbox. Allow your body to physically connect with the ground for part of each day. Consciously connect with nature (even if just a potted plant in your office) and feel into the balance, peacefulness and vitality that it holds within. Allow yourself to mirror that. Breathe and be centred.

There is a LOT going on energetically that is affecting us every day and we are becoming more and more sensitive to it as we open up our level of awareness and consciousness.

This message today is being given as a ‘lesson’ in the need for regular grounding and connection with nature to protect you and your energy from the:

• chaotic mass consciousness energies,
• heightened emotions and fears of others,
• destabilising levels of new energy flooding in, and
• daily extended use of technologies that interfere with our electro-magnetic energy fields.

This is a responsibility that we only have to ourselves, but it’s one we dearly need to become aware of and utilise. Would you rather be thrown about at the whim of whatever energies you encounter all day, every day? Or, would you rather be anchored, yet flexible and full of your own stream of life-force and vitality like a tall, thriving tree?

P.S. The trees at the top of this website are perfect to tune into – take a few moments and breathe into the energy offered by nature.

HEAVEN & EARTH (Archangel Metatron)

This message is about integrating the divine self with the human self . . . to acknowledge the divine within you and be in your full existence while here in physical form.

You’re not evolving outward to some far off place, but coming home to yourself, right here, right now.

Can you feel the presence of your soul with you, WITHIN you, right now?

Breathe and feel the fullness of you in your heart centre.

Feel yourself as one with nature – as divine an expression as any beautiful rose, ladybug, eagle, ancient oak tree, spider web, or dew drop on a leaf.

Today, take time to recognise the divine within you, and within all things.

I feel there’s so much more to be offered to all of us if we’re willing to let go of what we’ve created and start fresh…to see what our current self would create if no longer attached to what was already created.

New lavender blooms - new potentials

It’s time to flip tracks!

When we attach ourselves to our creations we bundle it in as part of our identity – but it’s not our identity at all. Our true identity would be free of all the attachments to outcomes and would want to experience something fresh, new and exciting every day…in every moment.

Ask yourself, as I am asking myself right now, “Who am I, in THIS moment?”…

…breathe and feel into that for a few moments.

I find I have no attachments in that space. It’s just about being present, mindful and appreciative of ALL experience.

So then, I get to CHOOSE in any and every moment what I wish to do, be, say, feel, think. I don’t have to do anything just because I did it before. In the moment of being truly present I am free to be me and express that however I choose.

There are so many potentials.

Which do I choose today?

Which do YOU choose today, right now?
