Oracle Cards ~ An Excerpt From My Book ~

Oracle Cards

Oracle cards are cards that do not relate to the tarot

correspondences. There are thousands and thousands of oracle

cards. They all have the author/artist’s interpretations and

messages. They usually have a theme to go along with the deck. There are cards with all different messengers and themes. There are cards with angels, animals, goddesses, saints, positive affirmations, chakras,

and more.

The same guidelines as the tarot cards apply when working with

the oracle cards. I often have people work with the oracle cards in addition to the tarot cards. For example I have them to do a simple layout with the tarot, document the results, and then do the same layout with the oracle cards. Almost every time the message and result are the same. This is the beauty of working with divination tools.

Most of the time you will receive the same answer/message.
Here is a simple protocol I suggest using ~ 

• Select a time and place where you will have some privacy.
• Be sure to clear yourself and the space you are working in example ~ sage (spray or mist) light your candle, use some incense or even play some music.
• Say a prayer to connect you to your higher guidance ~ I call upon my higher self, my guides, my guardians to assist me with the wisdom that is for my highest and best good now.
• Sometimes it is best to write down questions beforehand that you would like to ask.
• You can simply pull a card for the message of the day. Later on you can see how the card related to the day with the messages you had received.
• You can also ask what obstacles may I encounter, what am I not seeing accurately, is there a message from a passed over loved one or a guide?
• Journal your messages/readings this will help you open up and trust your guidance even more.
• When you are finished with your card session ~ thank the influences that assisted you with your messages/guidance and open up the circle. We create a circle of light to enclose the energy and we open it up when we are complete with our session.

Do I have a favorite oracle deck? No, I don't I have at least one hundred decks. They are all beautiful, all give me messages that are validating where I am at. If you are looking to purchase a deck, I encourage you to use the demo. Ask a question then pull a card, if the message resonates with your consciousness then it is a winner, if not then find another deck.

Remember these cards can confirm many things for you. Ultimately you must use your own sense of good judgement and intuition to make decisions in your life.

Happy New Year

Today is the day of blank pages, blank canvases ~ the day to begin anew.

So what can we do to keep on track with our new promises?

I have a few suggestions:

• Make your goals doable
• Keep a journal to monitor your progress
• Share your intentions with someone who will help keep you accountable with your goals
• Be reasonable with your timeframe
• Break up your goals into segments so you can have mini-celebrations
• Be flexible ~ some goals need to go back to the drawing board
• Keep it simple ~ try to not micro-manage the outcome down to every detail ~ this is limiting your outcome
• You do not need to pray or focus on your goals 24/7. Set the intention and release the over-analyzing
• Use my cd Transform Yourself for 21 days. It does work.    Transform Yourself 
• Meditate, pray make de-stressing a priority. This will help you raise your vibration, which will help you be more in alignment with your goal
• Give yourself small rewards for staying focused and disciplined with your goal.
• It is okay to start over
• If something is not working or your are becoming disappointed please realize that your higher power is in charge. Your intention may not be for your highest and best good therefore you may not achieve your goal...this is okay it means something better is on its way

Remember it is not all about the end result...it is the journey to the goal where we learn and grow to overcome our own challenges.

Happy New Year!

Blessings and Light,

Laurie

An Excerpt From My Book

Every thought, every word is a prayer. This is a profound statement. The first time I heard this from a teacher of mine, it blew my mind. Wow, what words have I spoken over time that are now affecting my life? Not only is this profound, but it is a Universal Truth! We are creating whether we are consciously doing so or not. We are vibration and energy. Words and thoughts are energy as well. All go into the giant manifestation cauldron. 

Be mindful also to watch words such as the following:

• I am stressed out.
• I am unlucky in love.
• I am doomed.
• Of course I am not getting what I want.
• I have bad luck.
• Life is not fair.

Replace with words such as:

• I am blessed.
• Thank you for all I have.
• It could be worse.
• Tomorrow is another day.
• I am healthy.
• I have trust and faith in myself.
• I am love.
• I am deserving of all things good.
• I am patient.

What words/seeds will you plant today?

Blessings and Light,

Laurie
