What makes you feel happy and content?

This week, Spirit is asking that we take some time away from all the busy-ness of life.  We are asked to stop doing, even for just one moment, and focus on BEING.

Take a deep breath now...  breathe down to your belly.  Imagine yourself travelling to your happy place, where you are safe to be carefree.  Take a moment now to count your blessings.  State at least 3 things that make you really happy and joyful.

How can you invite even more of these happy moments in your life?  Are you blocking your own happiness by focusing on being busy?  Are you blocking it by caring so much about others' happiness and wellbeing that you forget about yourself, or are you outright denying yourself pleasure or refusing to receive gifts and help for others based on a belief that it's better to give than to receive?

Remember that to fill fulfilled, AND to fulfill your life's mission, we have to be part of the giving and receiving equation of the Universe's energy.  When we block energy coming to us, it can create chaos in our own life and in the lives of those around us when their ability to give is stunted by our refusal to receive.

Today, give a compliment and when you receive a compliment simply say, "thank you".

Today, do at least one thing that makes you happy and makes you feel calm and peaceful.

Today, put your feet up for at least 10 minutes and pretend you're in your happy place.

Just be YOU - you're good enough, smart enough, beautiful enough.  Spirit loves you deeply and completely, just the way you are.  Breathe...

Spiritual Reading, October 2014

Denise Linn "Gateway"

October took me by surprise.  Already here??  Where has September gone?  Where has the summer gone?  Was it ever really here?

So by October 2nd, I realized I needed to work on this month's intuitive reading.  I recorded it, like I have done for the past few months.  My iPad stopped recording right in the middle of the video saying there was not enough space.  I downloaded everything in to my computer, cleaned up my files and tried again, salvaging what I could from "Take 1".  I was getting ready to upload, then the power went off.  I started reloading once the power came back on, then the power flickered a few more times and went off for the whole evening.  I'm taking this as a sign that I was not supposed to video this month's Reading, lol.  Here are my insights, in writing.

Week 1:  Being in the flow
The first week of October was about rolling with the punches and suspending resistance to change.  Something big is happening for us, and the more we resist, the more it persists.  This is a time for us to allow Universe to take us to where we need to be, in the moment.  It's a time to let go of our well laid-out and thought-out plans and see what else is there for us.  Perhaps Universe has something better up its sleeve than what our limited mind can think of.  Perhaps we've been trying to skip steps and we're not ready yet for the big dream and Universe has a few more teachings for us before we get there.  Whatever your "it" is...  just go with it.

Week 2:  Coming into Power
Oooh...  did you feel the shift?  Universe is bringing you to the place where you can truly express yourself.  Use your talents and unique gifts this week, and feel how rewarding it is when you can serve from your heart.  The more you bring your talents and gifts out to the world, the lighter you will feel.  Meditate daily, and ask, "How can I serve today?"

Week 3:  Savouring Pleasure
Here in Canada, it's Thanksgiving weekend October 10-13.  For many, it will take an effort to savour the pleasure of being with family - the common experience is stress and anxiety...  Remember to let your light shine, serve with your gifts.  Also, take time to ground yourself.  If a family reunion is difficult for you, take a long salt bath (I recommend 3 cups of sea salt to a very warm bath, and 10 drops of lavender essential oil, 10 drops of almond or coconut oil and 1tsp of baking soda for soft skin).  Take time to truly taste the foods shared with you this week.  Enjoy the leftovers.  Take time to truly enjoy being in the presence of a loved one.  If the family gathering becomes too much, take a "time out" with the kids.  Ask her about her dreams.  Share in arts and craft.  Take a walk together and play in the leaves.  Taking time to savour the moment, and taking pleasure in all you do will help you focus on what's really important.

Week 4:  Starting Fresh
Perhaps you've noticed, during your "savouring week" that your daily activities are not aligned with what you truly value, or with what brings you pleasure.  Give yourself permission from this day on to add more of what brings fun and light to your life, and to release what brings you chaos and grief.  A fresh start, a new beginning is possible for you at this time.  If you've been listening to Universe this month and paid attention to your dreams, used your gifts and talents and are aware of what brings you pleasure...  you should be in a good place to revisit that plan we had to put aside at the beginning of the month.  Make sure it's aligned with your soul, and start its implementation.

Romantic Forecast - September 2014

I love trying different ways of bringing you messages from Spirit...  I'm using crystals and Doreen Virtue's "The Romance Angels" Oracle Cards to bring you an overview of your romance forecast for this month of September.

First...  take a deep breath, close your eyes and think of your current relationship challenge.  Then, focus on the crystals and pick the first one that gets your attention.  Or pick a number from 1 to 3, going from left to right.

Have you made your choice?  Don't scroll down until you've made your choice!

Now look below to read your message.  Use your intuition to feel how the Angels and the crystals are counselling you and giving you strength for your next step.

1. Hematite and "Romantic Feelings" card:  You are ready to turn up the romance in your life, whether in an existing or new relationship.  Take this as your cue to take grounded action to follow your romantic feelings!  Hematite is a beautiful stone to help release anxiety and negative feelings.  Use the energy of Hematite to help you overcome past hurts that may be blocking a new venture, and to release the negative thoughts and "what ifs" of surrounding a relationship.  Stay positive, be confident, and take the first step in making your feelings known!  It is safe for you to do so.
2. Rose Quartz and "Deception" Card:  This is a reminder to stay true to yourself!  Have you been shielding your heart in hopes of preventing a heartbreak?  Is your relationship plagued with conditional love - aka love, affection or sex in exchange for a chore or task, or "I love you only if you behave a certain way" attitude?  Are you - or your partner - not disclosing true feelings on a particular matter for fear of offending the other?  Remember to be genuine with your feelings.  Say no when you mean no.  Follow up lovingly with your commitments.  Discuss your true feelings, even if it's uncomfortable to do so.  When you do, you will feel lighter.  Call upon the energy of Rose Quartz to be connected with Unconditional Love.  This particular chunk I acquired in Brazil is excellent with soothing the heart and inviting forgiveness. 
3. Labradorite and "Forgiving and Learning" Card: This Labradorite wand is excellent for Lightworkers, and it helps bring Light and clarity to any situation.  In this instance, call upon the energy of Labradorite to gain clarity about past experiences in your current and/or past relationships.  What have you learned about yourself through theses experiences?  How have your strengths and your character been tested?  You have been hurt before and are afraid of being hurt again...  but this fear of being hurt is only putting up a wall preventing a great Love to reach you!  Review your past experiences and understand that these are life lessons for you.  Now forgive the role you played and the roles your partners have played while you were learning these life lessons.  Use White Light to protect you as you move forward and cut away the cobwebs of the past.  When you learn and release a life lesson, you will feel a surge of freedom and the road ahead will appear more clear and less frightening.  

Do you need extra help to work through life lessons or to release anxiety and past hurts?  I can help!  Contact me for a complimentary chat.  I'll ask you about your goals and your energy, and I'll give you tailored-to-you tips to move forward in your heart's direction.

Blessings of Love and Light!

Oracle Reading, August 2014

On a beautiful sunny afternoon, I sit in my backyard to bring you the Oracle Reading for the month of August 2014. 

Summary:

Week 1: Find ways every day to move toward serenity. Take at least 15 minutes daily to do something just for you, just because.

Week 2: The summer has been so busy with an abundance of activities and social gatherings... on your path to serenity, make sure you schedule "YOU-time"

Week 3: Have you noticed resistance to saying no to invitations, or resistance to asking for help? Set yourself free from the prison of your mind.

Week 4: If you've worked on all the soul lessons presented during the first 3 weeks, you will feel more balanced, body-mind-spirit.

Do you want to know how these lessons apply to you, or if you have other soul lessons and assignments this month? Follow this link to see my schedule and book time with me!

Much Love from my heart to yours!

A Reading for the Summer Solstice

Much Love from my heart to yours!
