Divinely Inspired Message-A Safe Haven
I’ve asked for a Divinely inspired message for you today (on whatever day you happen to read this!) and this is what I was shown.
DIVINELY GUIDED VISION
I am sitting on a white rock. Around me is dark water. The water is so dark I can’t see what is within it. I feel the smoothness of the rock. It is a moonstone. I can feel a gentle energy coming from the rock and it is soothing me. I look into the distance and all I see is the dark water. It stretches for miles and miles. I am alone on the moonstone, but I don’t feel lonely. I feel safe and peaceful.
INTERPRETATION
From Nature-Speak: Signs, Omens & Messages in Nature by Ted Andrews:
Black: “Black is found commonly throughout Nature in both the plant and animal kingdoms. It is often associated with mysticism, magic and new birth. It is a color of quiet strength and protection. It can indicate a need for secretiveness and sacrifice. Black is also associated with the feminine energies, the creative and the intuitive. When found with other colors, it often indicates a grounding or even a more mundane energy or issue at play.”
White: “Found in all of Nature’s kingdoms, white reflects the energies of truth. It is soothing to our spirit and even indicates the presences of spirits about us in some area of our life. When white appears predominately, we may have messages coming to us soon from the spirit world. White is also a reminder to follow our creative inspirations. If it is capturing our attention in Nature, we may need to look at how we are or are not expressing our creativity. Now would be a good time to follow any creative pursuits. If we have doubts about issues or activities or even people in our life, white is the color that reminds us to be patient. The doubts will soon be alleviated. We will get our answers.”
From The Crystal Bible: A Definitive Guide to Crystals by Judy Hall
Moonstone: “Moonstone is the stone of new beginnings. As its name suggests, it is strongly connected to moon and to the intuition. Like the moon, the stone is reflective and reminds us that, as the moon waxes and wanes, so everything is part of a cycle of change. Its most powerful effect is that of calming the emotions. Moonstone makes conscious the unconscious and promotes intuition and empathy. It encourages lucid dreaming, especially at the time of the full moon.”
FROM SPIRIT
I hear Spirit saying the following in regards to the image I was shown. “Rest. This is a time of change and in the midst of change there our periods of great chaos when it feels like all is lost. Remember that even in the midst of dark there is always light. Trust that what is happening in your life right now is for your highest good. Believe that love always triumphs over darkness because it does. Let yourself be supported.” To me the images suggest protection and a space apart from the stresses of life. The moonstone feels very feminine and nurturing. It is gentle and subtle, not harsh. The dark waters around me are filled with mystery and they also feel like protection. I feel safe and buffered. The image of Noah and the Ark comes to mind. As things are transformed in our world, we are safe and protected. When the water recedes, new life will be born.
COACHING TIP FROM NANCY
What are you doing to nurture and care for yourself? With the economy issues, the swine flu, and other challenges, I know many people are feeling very overwhelmed right now. I find what works best for me is to think how I can support myself physically first. Energetically and physically balancing your system will make it easier for you to handle stressful circumstances. Regular exercise, massage, energy work, meditation, or any other activity that restores your physical well-being is a great place to start. After that, you’ll be better able to consider options to reduce stress emotionally and mentally. The members of my empowerment center are exceptional and have lots of ways to support you. The website is www.SanctuaryAtCrossroads.com. I am also happy to help as well. Call or email me for an Empowerment Reading that combines intuitive healing, spiritual guidance, and practical coaching to support and empower you. You can reach me at (330) 416-6184 or by email Nancy@EmpoweringLightworkers.com. The most important thing is to take care of you! Make that your top priority, especially during times of stress.

Trust and Becoming a Wise Innocent
I love the message of the Fool card in the Tarot deck. The version I have depicts a man smiling happily as he is about to step off a cliff. The interpretation speaks of this card as the state of a wise innocence. A person who is able to have a child-like trust in the good of the Universe and therefore avoids harm, no matter what path they take. They live a charmed existence where Angels intervene to keep them from harm…a harm they often don’t even know was there in the first place.
While pondering this card, I was shown a vision of a child approaching a dog. The child was young, 2 or 3 years old, and it was so excited to touch the dog. I could feel how much she longed to wrap her arms around the dog’s neck. The child’s mother stood near the dog and seemed to be saying it was okay for her to approach, but when the child did rush up to hug the dog, the dog bit her. The mother was as shocked as the child.
The purpose of this vision was to help me understand the dynamic that takes place within us as we seek to have faith and trust in the Divine and in ourselves. Such early experiences, as illustrated by the dog example, teach our innocent self that it isn’t safe to trust. The parent who loves us, can’t always keep us safe from danger. The love we feel in our hearts isn’t always reciprocated by the object of our affections. It teaches us how to pay attention and to learn what we need to know about our environment to avoid danger and stay safe.
This brings me to a universal question…how can one trust and feel safe in an unsafe world? How does one become a wise innocent? Is it possible, after earlier experiences that have taught us the world can be dangerous, that we can find a state of blissful ignorance where unseen helpers leap to whisk us out of danger before we even know the danger exists?
For me, the only path of serenity in the midst of constant change is to find an anchor. For me that anchor is the Divine and while I realize that my faith in God’s guidance and protection doesn’t exempt me from the hurtful experiences in life, it does guarantee me that I will never have to walk through any circumstance alone. I’ve been blessed to see how our Divine helpers will come to our aid whenever we ask. They work through our thoughts, our feelings, through books, and other human beings. They step into the place of fear and pain, and bring comfort and love. We just need to ask.
Today, I encourage you to take a look back over the course of your life. Find a moment when life felt hopeless and filled with despair. Did someone show up to comfort you unexpectedly? Did things work out in a way that, while maybe not what you’d hoped for, were what you really needed? Letting go of our fears and the parts of ourselves that need to evolve for us to grow can be painful, but it is also necessary. So ask for comfort, ask for love, ask for healing, ask for God to make smooth your path and guide you in making wise choices. Then remember… help will come for you. It always does.
Blessings to you and yours!

Divinely Guided Message 3-Security Within
I’ve asked for a Divinely inspired message for you today (on whatever day you happen to read this!) and this is what I was shown.
DIVINELY GUIDED VISION (as shown to Nancy Nicholas)
I am standing in white, silky sand looking out over a beach. Clumps of wild grass and small dunes flow out from me. I catch a glimpse of the ocean far off to my right. My attention shifts to my feet and I see that I have sunk down in the sand so that it now reaches up to the tops of my ankles. I feel the sand beneath my feet and get the sense of it shifting. This makes me uncomfortable and I keep trying to push my feet down further so that I come into contact with solid ground again. I soon realize that solid ground is not going to be found here. I look up and try to see which way I should walk to find a sturdier place to stand. Before me are miles of sandy shore. I feel reluctant to turn and look to my left or behind me (perhaps this is where I’ve come from?), so reluctant that I sit down instead of turning. I close my eyes and imagine myself where I’d like to be. I am sitting on a mountain top and the rock is solid and warm beneath me. I feel the breeze and hear an eagle soaring overhead. When I open my eyes again, I am on the mountaintop. The sand is gone. I stand up and look to my left and a path winds away from me. I turn and follow it.
INTERPRETATION
From Nature-Speak: Signs, Omens & Messages in Nature by Ted Andrews:
Beaches and Dunes: “Keynote: Adaptability to unique challenges; healing; doorways to spirit. Beach and dune habitats are more challenging than most. Plants that survive here have unique qualities and adaptability. This is often a reminder to keep ourselves grounded when opening to new realms and to protect our own roots, while we extend ourselves out into new and challenging areas. When beaches and dunes show up in our life, it reflects a time in which we need to balance some elements within our life. This environment reminds us to find creative and unique approaches to the challenges in life.”
Mountains: “Keynote: Discovering our spiritual powers; overcoming obstacles for spiritual attainment; communion with spirits. The mountain reminds us of the spiritual attainment that is ours as we overcome our obstacles. The height of the mountains gives rise to thoughts of being a world axis, linking heaven and Earth. Mountains are symbols for higher meditation, spiritual elevation, and communion with the blessed spirits. Mountains lift our spirits. They give us perspective on things both mundane and spiritual. They open us to hear our own inner spirit and open us to hear the spirits around us. It is not unusual for people to begin hearing spirit after a visit to the mountains. Intuition heightenss and creativity flows.”
From Native American Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams and David Carson
Eagle: Keynote: Spirit: “Eagle medicine is the power of the Great Spirit, the connection to the Divine. It is the ability to live in the realm of spirit, and yet remain connected and balanced within the realms of Earth. Eagle soars, and is quick to observe expansiveness within the overall pattern of life. Eagle is reminding you to take heart and gather your courage, for the universe is presenting you with an opportunity to soar above the mundane levels of your life. Eagle teaches you to broaden your sense of self beyond the horizon of what is presently visible.”
FROM SPIRIT
“In a world of change, it is easy to feel you are in danger. Remember, though, that each change brings with it a gift…a chance to move beyond the challenges of the moment to an easier more God-centered way of living. Today, look at your world with new eyes. Trust that the security you seek is within you. Step into your own true self. Feel the strength of who you are. Rest in the truth that you are Divinely guided and protected at all times. All will be well.”
COACHING TIP FROM NANCY
Do you have a morning routine that includes time to reconnect with your deepest self? If not, this would be a great time to start one. My routine includes a few moments each morning listening to peaceful music and practicing yoga mudras. I randomly flip to a page in Power Mudras: Yoga Hand Postures for Women by Sabrina Mesko. I also often use the Native American Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams and David Carson to ask for an animal totem to represent my male and female energies for the day. Throughout the day, I imagine these two animals with me and I can feel an energetic shift, moving me into a more balanced state of being. I breathe slowly and deeply, soak in the warm sunshine through the window, and imagine somewhere deeply peaceful. Sometimes I am shown a vision. Other times I simply feel deeply loved. This can be a time to ask for guidance, support or healing. It is also a wonderful time to feel deeply centered in yourself and in the moment you are in. What activities, books, or music help you feel connected to your deepest self and the Divine? I encourage you to look for a way to incorporate them into your daily routine.

Divinely Guided Message 2
I’ve asked for a Divinely inspired message for you today (on whatever day you happen to read this!) and this is what I was shown.
DIVINELY GUIDED VISION (as shown to Nancy Nicholas)
I see a butterfly landing on my finger. A ray of sun is shining through the trees and it hits the butterfly’s wings. They glow and shimmer. I can see its head and antennae very clearly. I hold it up to my eyes and we look at each other. The butterfly climbs along my finger and hops on my nose. It tickles! It walks up the bridge of my nose and brushes its wings against my forehead. The butterfly is now facing forward. I close my eyes and see the world before me through the eyes of the butterfly. The first thing that strikes me is how large everything seems. I find myself fascinated with the tiny lines on the leaf hanging in front of us. I watch as the colors of green shift and change as the wind gently lifts the leaf. I can see all its veins and can even see the movement of the sap through them. I am the butterfly and I imagine the touch of the leaf on my feet as I land upon it. I walk along its edge with great delicacy. I taste the sweetness of the leaf’s surface.
INTERPRETATION
From Animal-Speak: The Spiritual and Magical Power of Creatures Great and Small by Ted Andrews:
“Keynote: Transmutation and the Dance of Joy. Butterflies appear to dance as they light upon flowers and such. They remind us not to take things quite so seriously within our lives. They awaken a sense of lightness and joy. They remind us that life is a dance, and dance, though powerful is also a great pleasure. Butterflies can be reminders to get up and move, for if you can move you can dance. Dance brings the sweetness of life back. Transformation is inevitable, but butterfly will help teach you that growth and change does not have to be traumatic. It will teach you that it can occur as gently, as sweetly, and as joyfully as we wish.”
From Native American Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams and David Carson
“The power that Butterfly brings to us is akin to the air. It is the mind, and the ability to know the mind or to change it. It is the art of transformation. Butterfly can give clarity to your mental process, help you organize the project you are undertaking, and assist you in finding the next step for your personal life or career. The main message to be obtained by drawing this symbol is that you are ready to undergo some type of transformation.”
FROM SPIRIT
“The message today is about understanding your perception. Notice how the butterfly’s attention was focused intently on what was right before it, not on the scene far beyond. This is a time for noticing and appreciating the beauty of the small and intricate. This is a time for keeping your focus in the moment you are in. The worries you experience come from the land of “what if” and there is no peace to be found in that space. Notice and enjoy the bits of beauty you encounter in each moment. Rest in the knowledge that you are protected and guided in all that you do.”
COACHING TIP FROM NANCY
Have you been hearing the word “crisis” a lot lately? It seems to be on the tip of everyone’s tongue these days. Today, I encourage you to take stock of your own life. What is going well for you? Do you have a place to live? Are you healthy? Do you have people who love and care about you? Do you have a way to earn a living? Did you see a beautiful sunrise this morning?
It is easy to get in crisis mode when unexpected change comes to our lives. Operating in crisis mode, however, doesn’t help the situation. If you are currently facing a “threatening” situation, resist the temptation to play out the possible outcomes. Our left brain dislikes uncertainty. It creates a story based on whatever facts are available (even if there are only one or two) and it is easy to find yourself living as if the story is true. Pay attention to your thoughts. Refuse to move beyond the day you are in. What is true today? Let tomorrow develop as it needs to and trust that when you get to tomorrow, you will have the resources you need to handle what it brings.
