In keeping with spring and sprites, this month’s spiritual message comes from the fairies. The three cards we will consider were drawn from the deck, Magical Messages from the Fairies, compiled by Doreen Virtue, PhD. Let us look at what the fairies have to tell us.
1. The first card deals with forgiveness: “Whom Do You Need to Forgive? – As you release old anger or resentment, you will find that your wishes will come true.” Wishes are fulfilled when lower energies are released and positive aspects are incorporated. That means when we forgive ourselves, as well as others who have mistreated us, we have the opportunity to lead a more fruitful life.. Holding on to anger and resentment keeps us repeating old patterns that may be harmful to others, as well as ourselves. When we bring forgiveness to those who have wronged us, or whom we have mistreated, a burden is released, and more positive energies are able to become part of our lives. Doreen tells us, “This card indicates that your prayer will be answered as you release yourself from the inability to offer forgiveness. While you may feel justified in your anger, the truth is your resentment is only hurting you- the rage you’re carrying is blocking your deepest desires. Go outside and ask the fairies and spirit of nature to clear your mind, body, and emotions of lower energies. You’ll benefit enormously by making the decision to detoxify yourself of old anger and resentment… [Other meanings for this card: Forgive yourself and be cleared of toxic guilt. Reduce judgmental thoughts about yourself and others. Stop identifying yourself as a victim, and see yourself as powerful. Focus on the present instead of the past.]”
2. The second card drawn is about health: “Vegetarian – A new way of eating gives you more energy, greater health, clarity, and stronger manifestation abilities.” As we enter a new season of growth, this card is reminding us that healthy eating, vegetarian or otherwise, is an important part of maintaining our bodies. In order to be productive physically, emotionally, and mentally, conscious eating habits that keep our bodies strong help us stay focused on what is important. When we are healthy, our thought processes are sharp and we are able to be much more productive in our lives. Doreen says, “The fairies know that fresh garden food is the healthiest and most natural way to live. You’re guided to follow the fairies’ wisdom and eat lots of vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nuts… especially the organic variety. This card validates your feelings to eat a more vegetarian, or even vegan, diet. This shift in your eating patterns will yield positive changes such as clearer thinking, increased psychic abilities, and more energy. Ask the fairies to assist you with this change, and they’ll gladly do so (including helping your own garden to yield a bumper crop of produce!)… [Other meanings for this card: A health or behavioral concern is dietary related. Eliminate chemicals from your diet. Detoxify. Pray over your food prior to eating it.]”
3. The third and final card refers to spirituality: “Spiritual Teacher – Your life purpose involves teaching others about healing and spirituality.” Every one of us is a spiritual being. When we realize this, and accept that we are, we are able to share that spirituality with others through our examples of love, compassion, joy, and forgiveness. When we model right living, positive energy flows into the world, where it is available for others to use for themselves. Making positive changes in life helps with the healing process. One does not have to be a physician or minister to bring healing and spirituality to others. Doreen explains, “You drew this card because you’ve asked about your life purpose and career direction. This card indicates that you’re a born teacher who gives advice and information to strangers, friends, and family members. Your natural counseling, and teaching abilities will serve you well in a professional way. You may start out on a part-time basis and build up to a full-time career. If you need additional skill training, your inner guidance will direct you. Ask the fairies to help you with this training, (including paying for it!), and they’ll open doors for you in many ways. [Additional meanings for this card: Investigate a career as a counselor or psychologist. Write articles or books and submit them to publishers. A message about a spiritual teacher validates your intuition. Start charging money for your counseling or healing sessions. ]”
And so, the fairies are always gently encouraging us to move into new territory in life. Some of these suggestions may already be incorporated in your life, but if not, consider their merits. Have a growth-filled month.
