Card- Archangel Dorenka

Hone your psychic abilities. See through illusions.

Message: ” This card guides you to open up to your psychic abilities that are latent within you. To do this, expand your right brain by listening to your intuition and trusting your inner guidance. Practice choosing with your heart rather than your left brain. Focus on your throat chakra , your spiritual centre of truth , and visualize a upward-pointing triangle within it. This opens it up to allow Archangel Dorenka and Archangel Michael to pour sacred geometric codes into it. Be aware of those angel sonics and know that your psychic abilities are being honed.

Choosing this card reminds you metaphorically that you can fly. So expand your vision and focus on your wildest dreams. You have untapped gifs and abilities and” are being invited to bring them forward, safe in the knowledge that all the support you need is available to you. “

Intuitive Notes from Me: My intuitive and psychic abilities come in ebbs and flows. It definitely have everything to do with my personal energy. It also have to do with my confidence in these abilities. Sometimes I hit the mark. Other times, I miss. This is reminder to me to work on my energy and remember to center myself in meditation everyday. I will work with my throat chakra as is suggested . I am ready to expand my abilities and see things from a high perspective.

And so it is.

Angels have always been around me all my life. I may not always been aware of them but, nonetheless, they were there. I’ve always had the sense that someone/ something was protecting and guiding me but I wasn’t sure who/ what. My mom always gave me angel gifts and then later other people would. I could never understand why. Perhaps they knew more than I did?

It wasn’t until I started attending the psychic chat rooms in AOL ( remember them?) and connecting with Sylvia Browne and Doreen Virtue that I really began to make a conscious connection to angels. When I did, I would find dimes crossing my path. I didn’t know what that meant until I started to research it and verified that it was a sign of angels. Then, I started seeing the number 44/ 444 and also verified that it was the sign of Angels. They were letting me know that they were present in my life. So, I began to verbally call on them and could feel their presence. Feathers would also appear in the most unexpected of places.

Then, the miracles started happening. The first was when I got into a car accident. I was stopped at a two way stop. There was another car that was stopped as well. I tried in vain to make eye contact and signal to the driver to proceed but she never acknowledged me. She has her head down looking at something on her lap. I waited for her to proceed through the stop sign but she didn’t. I started through the stop but the other driver did as well. She clipped me in the rear of the car and my car started to spin and veer off onto a sidewalk. Unfortunately, there was a great big tree there and my car was headed directly towards it. I was about to crash into it and I remember calling out ” God help me” and then I could feel a presence sitting next to me and could hear them say ” Turn your steering wheel to the left”. I did and I narrowly escaped hitting the tree head on. My car has some damage but I was able to drive it home. God had sent me help truly- he sent his helper- an Angel.

Then, came the horrific day- 9/11 . Proceeding this day, I met up with my brother who was in town for the weekend visiting my parents. He called me up to ask me out to lunch. It was rare thing for him to do. There was definitely a distance and disconnect between us. At the time, I was working for Sears but we met up for my lunch break. We had a nice chat and he informed me that he was going to New York for some meetings during the week. We finished our lunch and said our goodbyes. The weekend ended and I was back into my usual routine with my sons. The day of 9/11 arrived. I took my two older sons to school and then dropped off my youngest son at his school. As I was driving home listening to the radio the news of what was happening in New York was breaking. At first, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Was it a hoax? I got home and turned on the tv. I began to see the horror of it all and I watched as a plane hit the first tower and then the second. I remember asking the Angels to surround, guide and protect the people inside those towers . I was glued to the tv most of the day. I remember being worried about my sons but received the messages to pick them up from school. When everyone was home safe and sound, I remember breathing a sigh of relief. I tried to comfort them and keep them busy throughout the day. Then, the phone call came from Mom. What I didn’t know was that my brother was attending a meeting in the second tower and nobody had heard from him. I remember this feeling of calmness flowing through me and I just knew that he was safe. Sure enough, the call came that verified that. He , against what he was being directed to do, climbed down all those steps of the building and narrowly escaped the collapse of the second tower. He told me that he had the sense that he was guided that day. Of course, it was Angels and I could sense that they were there that fateful day.

There were many other incidents in my life where I sensed the presence of Angels since then. One particular incident stands out in my head. My son, who has Epilepsy, began to lose muscle tone and physical function throughout those intervening years. He had trouble walking and retaining balance while standing. He began to need assistance so we walked behind him holding him up by the waist. One day, after dropping off my middle son at school, we got home and he was especially wobbly getting out of the car. I really had to grip him by the waist to hold him up. There’s 3 concrete steps to climb up to get into our front door. We made it up two steps but I could feel him losing all balance and he leaned heavily into me. I couldn’t maintain balance and I began to feel us falling down the steps together. I made sure he was cushioned by my body. It was then that I felt a presence cushioning both of us and it felt that we were floating in air on the way down. We landed softly but miraculously neither of us were hurt. It was a hard fall for sure which could have resulted in serious injuries yet we were unharmed. We were safe. Again, I had Angels to thank for that.

So, I know that Angels surround me, guide and protect me now. I just know. I don’t doubt. Ten years ago, I , who was never one to imagine myself with a tattoo, got mine. I wanted an Angel on my shoulder with a butterfly tattoo on hers. It’s a fantasy design of sorts. It’s a reminder of my gratitude and acknowledgement of Angels in my life.

And so it goes.

I had a vision the other night of 3 tarot cards whose background color was an Indigo blue and the graphics popped out of the cards. This isn’t the first time I’ve had visions of tarot and oracle decks. I saw the Tower card accompanied by two positive cards which I really couldn’t see or remember but sensed that they were giving a positive message despite The Tower’s appearance. So, I did a little background check and looked into the positive meaning of The Tower card. This is what I found: ” Yes, the tower card not only represents chaos and abrupt disaster, but it can also mean, powerful, personal revelations, standing against chaos, radical transformation and the fear of it.” from vekkesind.com

Well, I have been seeing a lot of signs and messages lately of personal transformation in myself and I’ve been also tweeting the last couple of days messages about strength, believing in your power and becoming your own hero in life so no wonder the Tower cards is appearing for me in vision.

Side Note: I found this Constellation deck online and purchased it even though it was a bit pricey ( not disgustingly pricey) and knew I had to get my hands on this deck.

When the message appears, it is up to you to pay attention.

I’ll add more on this post if anything further develops and also tell you how I like the deck. Stay tuned.

I’ve was contemplating about how to resolve differences in relationships and how to work on compromise in order to keep the relationship healthy. So I took it to the Angels and this was their response.

Archangel Amethyst- Purify your life with love. Prepare for something better.

Archangel Amethyst is the twin flame with Archangel Zadkiel and carries the Divine Feminine Energy. She tempers Zadkiel’s light with the pink of love and soft white , and she heals as she transmutes lower energy.

Message: ” Drawing this card suggests you are ready for an ascension leap . However, you must first transmute any vibrations that no longer serve you , so you being asked to examine your life. Is anything holding you back ? Do you feel stuck in any particular area? Is your work ( love relationship) satisfying your or is it time to make a change? Do you need to release an old belief ? ” Where are you stuck and how do you join forces to get what you both want? Can you compromise and blend desires? Can you elevate them?

• 

Two cards were stuck together when I pulled from the deck.

First Card (Left)- Like Attracts Like- If you are longing for more love in your life, you need to be more loving.

Second Card ( Right)- Consider Your Foundation- You are being asked to look at how committed you are to love.

Notes from me: I intuit from these cards that relationships in love are challenging at times. Are the challenges too hard to be handled? Is there enough love and commitment to work together through them and both be satisfied with the results? Are your vibrations in sync with your partner? If not, how can you work together to get them in sync? Or, and this is a tough realization, has your time together reached it’s conclusion and perhaps it’s time to let go, release and move on? Sometime, we are tested by a life challenge that will be a test to just how strong your commitment is. If it isn’t, it will fall apart for sure.

I do strongly believe in lifetime loves but , for me, it is a rare find indeed. If you have that in your life, I applaud you and am thrilled for you.. For the most time and for most people, people and relationships of any kind join and are forged for a reason and/ or a season. So if you’re not getting what you want or your differences are too great to ever be mended, then, it’s time to let go and release in order to move on to another connections.

May love find a home in you and may you find a home in another.

After insight: You know, maybe we should enter into all romantic relationships with the thought that it is short-term and then go from there with no expectations of long-term commitment. If the heat, magnetism and sincere desire to get to know someone inside and out , go for it. Let i evolve / dissolve on it’s on accord.

Card- Starfish Spirit- Open to Infinite Possibilities

Message: ” When cynicism says not, Starfish says yes a thousand times over. Are you willing to entertain new possibilities?

Now is the time to stretch from the familiar and unfurl yourself , for you are meant for more than your are imagining for yourself .

Number 5 resonates with personal freedom, Individualism, versatility , progress, experience, sensuality, courage, opportunity, and imagination. Number 5 is a symbol of balance.

Today, I was nudged to pull one card from the Archangel Oracle deck and then one card to accompany that message from the Angel Guide Oracle deck by Kyle Gray.

First, the Card from the Archangel deck

Card is : Guardian Angel- Love yourself unconditionally. Ask for help.

Message: ” Your guardian angel is your own personal angel who has been with you your entire lifetimes. It is always with you, and the more you need it, it is closer to you . It holds the divine blueprint of your life and is constantly whispering advise on the best way forward. It loves you unconditionally, never judges you, and is always ready to help even if you ignore it’s promptings.

This card is here to remind you that you are loved unconditionally. When you remember that, self-worth, self-esteem and confidence increase. You will feel more happier and harmonious, and you will view the outside world with eyes of love. “

What accompanies this message?

• 

Card: Ask and Receive

Message: ” Ask and you shall receive. Your angel guide wants you to know that helps is available. You are being asked to shift your perceptions and recognize that even in the most difficult of circumstances, a miracle is possible.

You may feel that your prayers aren’t being heard but that’s not the case. Angels have heard you and are asking you to take time to access where in your work or relationships you may be creating barriers to your success. When you are open to seeing and doing things differently, you will experience the answers and miracles you need. You are being ask to pray from the space of gratitude now. When you focus on what your are grateful for, you align your energy with the miraculous. “

Side Note: There’s a prayer inside this box that holds these cards. It is:

Thank you, Angels, for reminding me of our presence and for revealing to me what I need to know. I am willing to listen and receive.

And so it is:

Notes from me: I was doing a meditations earlier on inner peace and asking Divine if I could remove the self-doubt that often plagues me so these messages today are extremely timely to me and an answer to my prayers. There are many times in my life where I feel abandoned and alone. When these times occur, I must stop and remind myself that my Guardian Angel is always there loving me unconditionally, never judging me and always willing to assist me in whatever I want or need in my life. All I have to do is ask and I shall receive in whatever way the Universe brings it to me. Yes, miracles do exist. I am a witness to miracles in my life. I am grateful for all.

Whoever opens this up and reads this post, this message is also intended for you.

Remember, angels surround you and always assisting you and supporting you in your lifetime endeavors.

And so it is.

Card- Coyote Spirit

Trust in Divine detours

Message: ” Do you find that you are being lead on a strange detour in your life right now? Do you feel that you are being tricked? Coyote’s animal trickster energy is designed to bring you into situations that will teach you lessons you have forgotten to learn. Coyote spirit reminds you to laugh about unexpected twists , to develop humility and gratitude while releasing your attachments to the form of your desires. Trust in divine order now. Coyote spirit is a divine helper: no matter what seems to go astray, things are exactly what they are suppose to be.”

Numerology: 1 + 6 + 7

Numerology for 7 symbolizes humanity’s deep inner need to find depth , meaning and spiritual connection.

( There’s that 7 again.)

Notes from Me: It’s hard to let go and let flow trusting that the Universe brings you what you need when you need it. Many people have their life all planned out and don’t allow any wiggle room for unexpected happenings in their life. You cannot control life. It has a trickster’s way of turning you upside down and sideways in what appears to be random events and happenings yet are they really random or are they hidden lessons to life that you need to learn and/ or re-visit.? Coyote spirit is here to remind you and guide you if you let them in.

Card- Seraphim Seraphisa

Relax and open up to Source.. Keep your heart open.

The glorious Seraphim Seraphisa is one of the Seraphim that surrounds the Godhead and helps to keep the vibrations of the Universe high.

Message: ” This is a high frequency card reminding you that the more you relax the more you can access Divine light. Take time to meditate and contemplate. Remember every breath draws in Divine energy , so consciously breath more deeply. Visualize the beautiful and joyful. Chose activities that fill you with soul satisfaction and harmony, and spend the day with those align you with higher energies. Find work that enables you to be who you truly are.”

Notes from Me: As I opened up and mediated before pulling a card, I could feel such warmth in my chest especially around my heart chakra. Then I pulled this card and, wa-la, now I know why. I always open my reading with some meditation and ask Divine source to be with me. I invited the Archangels in. This is the energy that appeared.

I am always much happier in my day when I take time to meditate and draw some cards from various sources of Divine energy. This is a great reminder for me personally to not get to busy to do my energy work, reflection and meditation.

Keep your hearts open, relax and breath in the Divine source of all in order to keep your vibration high. Call on Seraphim Seraphisa to assist and guide you.

Whoever opens this post and reads, this message is intended for you as well.

So be it.
