Before jumping to conclusions, take a moment to reflect within the self. Take a moment to take a breath and calm down. Take another moment to take another breath and calm down a little bit more. When you feel the urge to jump, to speak out, to object, defend or protest, calm yourself down first, and then see if the urge is still there. Sometimes just a moment’s pause is enough to shift you out of making a wrong decision, or saying the wrong thing, or coming to an erroneous conclusion. Sometimes it’s just better to hold your tongue and not say anything.

All our love,

The world is indeed in a time of great change, which is reflected in the turmoil and hardships you witness every day. Even if you are not personally feeling hardship yet, you know that it is surely possible. Prepare in small ways to be ready for anything, without panic or stress. Just keep alert and aware, for knowledge is often the best information for when times are changing. Knowledge of how to remain calm, of how to turn your energy in the right direction, of how to take care of yourself, and those you love, while also caring about others, are some of the best preparations you can make to ensure that all will be well. Prepare yourself by practicing your daily measures of grounding, gratitude, and asking for guidance. If you have made your daily practices a habit already then you are well prepared for anything. Sometimes the best preparation is on the inside rather than the outside, for a strong inner warrior is the greatest warrior there is.

All our love,

Before you jump to conclusions take a moment to think, to feel, and to ask your heart to guide you. Before you decide to say something, decide first to take a moment’s pause. Take a breath, and then another, and let your mind be quiet and your heart be still. In the quiet of your inner self, where you already know how to make a peacefulness that is deep and wide, ask for guidance, for your Higher Self, or some other guide or teacher, to show you what you are missing. For it is often in discovering what you are not seeing that you will see what you have been missing, and it might just be the answer you have been searching for. A moment or two of inner quiet may be all you need to really make a difference.

All our love,

When the weather is bad outside then often the weather inside of you is bad in some way too. Perhaps it’s dreary outside, making you feel dreary inside. Perhaps it’s cold outside, making you feel cold inside as well. Sometimes a sunny day keeps you happy but a cloudy day keeps you down. At other times, a dreary day may be indicating that it’s time to go inward, to withdraw and contemplate things on a deeper level. Perhaps a cooler day indicates that it’s time to warm your heart, to stir good and beautiful feelings of love inside you so that you are fully ready to express your love when called upon. Perhaps a sunny day is just to remind you to be grateful for all that you have, just as a cloudy day is just to remind to remember how contented and at peace you really are. What are you really feeling inside you today? It might be something other than you think.

All our love,

When times are difficult it is best to withdraw from external activity and argumentation that activates emotions and desires that do not serve you or others. It is far better to sit in contemplation for a long time, even when there is pressure to decide, to be sure that you are making the right decision. The right decision will serve the greater good, and the whole, rather than the greedy few. Take all the time you need to make your own decisions of import during these outer times of difficulty. For if there is strife in the world around you, you can be sure that you are feeling it, and if you are feeling it then it also stands to reason that it affects you in some way. So, take time to get to the bottom of your own truth before deciding what is really right, in any situation. Do not go to haste, but do go to patient waiting. When the time is right, the right decision will clearly show itself.
