Daily Angel Oracle Card, from the Goddess Guidance Oracle Card deck, by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D: Goddess Coventina ~ Purification
Goddess Coventina: “It is time for a cleansing detoxification of your body and mind.”
Message from Coventina: This message comes as a help, and not as an affront or a criticism. Your vessel has become clogged by overuse of harsh chemicals and the offending source is within your psyche. You have been ignoring our body’s many signals and screams for relief from the steady ingestion of impurities. Perhaps you have also noticed a slump in your energy levels, and your degree of joy has lagged as well Never mind these past effects, though, as the solution is at hand right now? Now that you have heard this message, do not hesitate for even a moment to make new arrangements. You will want to keep a sharp focus on the contents of your mind and speech as well, for the words you think and speak are the very diet that supports or thwarts you. Choose purity, and I promise you a changed outlook for the better.”
Various meanings of this card: Follow your intuition’s guidance about making lifestyle changes. Stop abusing alcohol or drugs. Avoid processed foods such as sugar, white flour, and so on. Eat more organic foods. Keep your thoughts and speech positive. Adopt a vegetarian or vegan diet. Go on a fast or detox diet. This card can also be a validation that your current healthful path is working.
About Coventina (pronounced Coh-ven-TEEN-ah). She is a powerful Celtic Goddess of the waters, including the oceans, lakes, streams, ponds and rivers. Coventina protects bodies of water and their inhabitants, and she is happy to give you a Divine assignment related to environmentalism, if you ask her. Wishing wells were made in her honour, and today we continue the practice of throwing coins into water while making a wish. It is Coventina who grants these wishes. Since our bodies are primarily made up of water, she is very involved with helping us purify our physical selves. She reminds us that purification also means keeping our thoughts and speech filled with positive words, which empower and strengthen our bodies and lives.”*
You are being reminded to cleanse; body, mind and spirit. Everything is connected, and we cannot pollute our energies with toxic foods, negative thoughts, or lack of faith without suffering the consequences. When we don’t nourish our bodies with healthy, organic foods containing high quality Ki, or life force, our bodies can’t run optimally. We lack energy and our immune systems suffer. When we think negative thoughts, we lower our vibration and cause blockages in our chakras, creating dulled senses, depression, low energy and feelings of fear and doubt. Our spirits suffer from both kinds of toxins, as we separate the three aspects of ourselves by not caring for them.
Even your environment can benefit immensely from a clearing out. When you cleanse your body, cutting out processed foods, chemicals, artificial colours and preservatives, sugar, alchohol and caffeine, your body is purified, your immune system is strong and your senses are fully awake and alert. Your energy is high and you literally feel “light”. When you are mindful of your thoughts, keeping them positive and focusing on what it is that you want, eliminating worry, fear, doubt, anger and regret from your inner dialogue and replacing it with love; your energetic body soars. When you combine these two aspects of purity, body and mind, your spirit is taken to new heights in vibrational frequency and you are able to reach new levels of consciousness. Over time, these levels of consciousness will lead to higher dimensional living. The more pure you are, the more light you are able to hold and radiate. The more you are able to heal yourself, others and the earth.
You don’t have to strive for perfection right off the bat. Just start somewhere. Eliminate one aspect of your diet that you know is affecting you in a toxic way. When you have released this for good, add another and another until you have purified your diet in a permanent way. Keeping in mind that you are human, if you have a “setback” just start again where you left off and never berate yourself; instead, be sure to celebrate your successes. Work on balancing your Chakras and adding some outdoor time as well as some exercise into your daily routine, your body and mind will benefit greatly. You can add more as you get used to it, making it a priority and a way to de-stress and take care of yourself. Keep it simple and fun and focus on how you want to feel, not on how you think you “should” look. This is about well being, not looking hot in a bikini… although if you do, celebrate that too!!
