A Reading With Linda Jones - Light Reader

Linda Jones - Light Reader

Right after the Hay House Live! workshops last October, I contacted Linda Jones, my new friend from the weekend, to book a card reading with her. 

Linda is very ethereal, she loves nature, as you will see if you follow her on Instagram. I am fascinated by her work with bees and how close she gets to them! You will also see squirrels, her adorable parrot Mango, and lots of flowers and nature pics. And of course, she has card readings on her page too! She is a Certified Card Reader and also a Certified Angel Guide through Kyle Gray.

It's interesting to go back and look at this reading since it was about ten months ago. See how behind I still am with this blog? I could have skipped all of those months, but there has been so much leading up to today, that I really wanted to go back and see how it all fits into now. 

We set up the appointment and the reading took place over the phone, and then Linda texted me the cards and write-up of the reading later that day.

I wanted just a general reading and then Linda let me ask some additional questions on other topics after. At the beginning she pulled two cards to see what direction the reading was going in. Green Tara and Mary Magdelene were pulled, but she told me she felt strongly about Archangel Raphael too. I work with him all the time when I work on Reiki clients, so that was a great feeling to know he's with me. Linda also saw green around me when we were in person, which is his color. Green is also the color of the heart chakra. I channel Reiki healing energy  through my crown chakra, then into my heart chakra, down my arms, and out through my hands for healing. Green is a color of healing and Archangel Raphael is the Archangel of healing.  

Linda said the Mary Magdelene card is indicating that my inner teacher awakens. When I asked her an additional question at the end of the reading about timing, she pulled two cards and said it would be winter time, late January or early February. Now I didn't plan this, but clearly it was literally in the cards, because late January I applied to teach my first class at Unlimited Thought Enrichment Center on vision boards. I was approved, and they were able to fit it into their schedule for February. I taught after that until the pandemic shut everything down. And now I'm teaching live classes on Instagram. So Linda's card reading was spot on.

In the reading Linda saw me needing to make quick decisions due to unexpected changes, and she even drew The World card for me about the near future, indicating a major life event. Nothing could be more major than what the entire planet has been going through with COVID-19, and I find it so fascinating that the card was The World. It wasn't just about me, that card was really for everyone.

Linda saw me partnering with spirit, and using her intuitive gifts, she immediately thought of Archangel Michael. Of all of the Archangels, Michael is the one I call to the most. You can ask him to stay with you always and he will. I had done so quite a long time ago. He is able to be with multiple people at the same time, so you can ask him to do the same. For me, he is my protector and the protector of my home and family. I ask him to protect those I work on for Reiki and for card readings as well. So I am so happy about a spiritual partnership with Archangel Michael!  I have learned recently that he is the Archangel for life purpose, so that is another important facet of his abilities to help. Just ask.

There was much more in the reading, but I wanted to give you a sample of Linda's work because she is a beautiful soul using her gifts to help others. She blends her intuitive gifts with the cards to provide a solid reading. Her readings are accurate and filled with kind-spirited words because that is who Linda is.

Book Review: Adventures of the Soul by James Van Praagh

I have been an admirer of James Van Praagh's work since his 1992 television show Beyond with James Van Praagh. It was my first introduction to the possibility of communicating with those who are in the spirit realm. I was thrilled when he recently joined Hayhouseradio.com for his own weekly radio show (Tuesdays at 2PM ET) and could not wait to get his latest book in my hands!

Adventures of the Soul: Journeys Through the Physical and Spiritual Dimensions is packed with information about the soul, spirit world, near-death experiences, soul lessons and more. James leads us on a soul journey through his perspective, but encourages the reader to use what resonates with him/her. I love this, because he isn't telling the reader to believe everything he says, it is up to the individual to incorporate into their lives what rings true.

There were revelations in this book, including his own out-of-body experience. This was an amazing journey to read about. I am very grateful that he is still with us to share his story! I also was unaware of his relationship with the amazing Debbie Ford. Their relationship was, and is very beautiful. Learning more about his husband was wonderful too.

More than anything for me, the message I received from Adventures of the Soul, was to understand that we are here to learn how to love and to leave this world a better place. It doesn't have to be in grand terms, but in the kindness of our daily actions and interactions. His chapter entitled Living a Soul Filled Life is fantastic to guide us on the path. He also includes beautiful meditations at the end of the book. 

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about the soul's journey in the present and spirit realm, or wants more information on living a soul-centered life. I also recommend the companion card deck: The Soul's Journey Lesson Cards. It includes 44 cards and a guidebook. The cards are beautiful and a positive way to start the day. Draw a card for clarity, and listen to your intuition; your soul knows the way!

Book Review: The BIG Book of Angel Tarot by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine

The BIG Book of Angel Tarot: The Essential Guide to Symbols, Spreads, and Accurate Readings by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine

I have been interested in tarot cards for quite some time but didn't know where to get started. I attended a Hayhouse I Can Do It! event and had the pleasure to listen and learn as Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine used the Angel Tarot cards. I was hooked. 

Upon receiving my copy of The BIG Book of Angel Tarot, I went out and bought my first set of tarot cards; Angel Tarot of course. They are just beautiful. The artwork is done by artist Steve A. Roberts. They are large, silver edged cards with beautiful illustrations that you just want to touch! I wanted to read the book and work with the cards at the same time.

The book is fantastic. There is so much useful information. Doreen and Radleigh have clearly poured their hearts into this. It is so beautiful to see people selflessly contribute their knowledge to others to spread more kindness, compassion, and love. I also appreciate their in-depth reflection on the history of tarot. They have taken something that was often shrouded in mystery and sometimes darkness, and brought it to light with an approach of loving, uplifting, positive cards and meanings, while still remaining true to its roots.

The book takes you through the history of tarot, the "language" including definitions of Arcana, Court Cards, Jumping Cards and more. It discusses the first 22 cards of the deck called the Major Arcana, the second part of the deck called the Minor Arcana, symbolism, archangels, angel numbers and astrology. Yes, this book is packed with valuable information!

Radleigh and Doreen show how to do a reading, and walk you through different spreads (1 card reading, 3 card, etc). The rest of the book is information, insights and explanations on the meanings of each individual card. For each card, they provide an insight to the possible meanings, the symbolism in the beautiful illustration, the angel number (each card has a number that is related to a message from the angels), and the astrological aspect of the card (Air element, Libra, Venus in Aquarius, etc) and what that means. 

The book is perfect for someone new to tarot as well as someone who wants to gain so much more insight into the specific meanings of these cards. As always, Doreen and Radleigh explain everything with ease and brilliance. It was an honor to read this book and learn from these beautiful souls.

*I am blessed to receive this book free from Hayhouse for participating in the Hayhouse Book Nook program.
