Today is all about your Inner Power and how you choose to use it in your life. The Czechoslovakian Wolf Dog in this card acts as a guide, reminding you that you always have power in every life situation, but it is up to you to choose how you will use it.

In some situations you may find that you under-use your power, pretending to be weak so that you don’t intimidate others and other times you may over-use it, puffing up your power so others see you as an authority. The key is to strike a balance so that you are able to stand in your power without over or under using it. This is self-love in its purest, truest form.

Don’t buy into the idea that you are powerless – it simply isn’t true! Today, notice how you feel in relation to your inner power – are you afraid of it? Or do you freely express it? And remember that you always have the choice of how you want to exercise your power in the world.

Oracle Card Reading for Wednesday ~ Think Big!

Guidance Dogs Oracle Cards by Kirsten Laulainen

Today’s Oracle Card Reading is all about expanding your perception of what is possible. This Guidance Dogs oracle card, represented by the Chihuahua encourages you to Think Big, even if you feel small right now.

As you open your mind to what is possible, your life also opens up. Your beliefs shape your experience and so as you change your beliefs about what is possible, your reality will bend its shape to fit with your new outlook.

Changing your core beliefs isn’t always easy, and I have found that its best to start by accepting where you are at right now. Acknowledge your limiting beliefs and decide to love and accept yourself anyway.

Since its pretty hard to go from limited thinking to expanded thinking in a day, focus on gradually and gently opening your mind up to greater possibilities. Here’s an affirmation I like to use:
Even though I find it hard to believe_________________, I am willing to open my mind to the possibility.

And last but not least, sometimes we are afraid to dream big. We may fear disappointment if our dreams don’t come true, or overwhelm and rejection if they do manifest! For this reason, it is important to connect a feeling of safety with our expanded life vision. The following affirmation helps soothe that sense of anxiety:  It is safe for me to be successful/powerful/free (or whatever it is you want).

Try working with these affirmations as think and dream big – and watch as your life transforms!

Oracle Card Reading for Friday ~ Self-Worth

Today’s oracle card reading is all about self-worth, appropriately represented by the Poodle! Do whatever you need to do today to feel good about yourself. This could include some kind of physical pampering, like a trip to the spa, or something deeper.

Taking care of your body involves having a deep respect and reverence for it. Grooming rituals can often be a good time to think about your body in a way that is caring and loving.

Treat yourself to a hot bath today, and put herbs like lavender and sage under the hot running water. Or paint your toenails a crazy colour. Of course, establishing a strong sense of self-worth is about more than just hot baths and nice toenails and today is a good time to reflect on your self-worth…

You can be most acutely aware of how high your sense of self-worth is when you are criticized by others. Think back to the last time someone criticized you. Did you feel personally attacked? Did you feel diminished and crushed or were you able to brush it off? Today’s oracle card reading reminds you that it’s natural to be effected by others behavior and attitudes, but that true self-worth is independent of others opinions.

Today is a great day to let go of any stress that is effecting you. Actually, every day is a good day to do this! One of the best ways to do this is to look to animals for guidance.

Try looking at your problem or stressful issue through the eyes of your dog or cat. This will probably make you laugh, as you won’t be able to imagine your dog getting all worked up about a deadline or what someone thinks of him.

So if you feel yourself start to stress out about something, stop and ask yourself what your cat would do in this situation. And take a few deep breaths!

This weekend, look around you and truly appreciate the beauty that is present in your life. What is beautiful about your home? What is beautiful about the area you live in? Really enjoy these things this weekend!

Today’s oracle card reading suggests that you might want to do one or two small things this weekend to enhance the beauty of your surroundings. Light some pretty candles, pick fresh flowers, buy a new plant, or hang a new picture. Sometimes its the little things that make a big difference.

When your environment is beautiful, you will enhance your energy and personal vibration. When your mood is lifted, you will find it easier to appreciate the simple pleasures in life and as a result feel more spiritually connected.

Likewise, unattractive things in our environment can drag our energy down. Look around your home and get rid of anything that makes you cringe when you look at it. For me, this is the cardboard box and old newspapers sitting in my hallway! Today’s oracle card reading suggest that once you get rid of the things that look like crap, you will change the overall energy of your home.

Oracle Card for Sat & Sun ~ “Everything is Well”

Guidance Dogs Oracle Cards

Today’s oracle card comes from the Guidance Dogs Oracle Cards. The message today is “everything is well.”

Spend a few moments just saying this to yourself. Close your eyes, let your body relax and repeat the words “everything is well”, noticing how your mind relaxes each time you say it.

The message I get from this card is that the more we repeat this phrase to ourselves, the easier it will be to ground our energy and feel calm and stable. So if you are feeling stressed, anxious and scattered, try the above exercise.

This weekend will be all about staying grounded, calm and contented, regardless of what we are doing. You may find yourself in a kayak gliding silently along the bay of a quiet inlet or you may be in the middle of a tumultous family dinner, but when you realize that all is well and everything is as it should be, you will immediately feel at peace.
