We wish everyone, and our entire world, a happy Solstice, a beautiful and peaceful Holiday Season and a most prosperous New Year. May we all carry the light of gratitude and love within us as we enter into the season of joy and giving, festivities and celebration, and renewal. And may we all walk into the New Year full of hope and promise each day, still carrying that light within, eager and grateful to embrace new life to come. We share some calming practices below and will return to our normal weekly postings on Monday January 6, 2025.

Sending you love,

Let there be light in your heart that your mind might stay clear and open to the grand adventure of life, ready and willing to see and experience all that life provides you with in a new way each day. Rather than expect the same, going through the same old ideas, thoughts and way of seeing the world, take each new day and its unfolding as a grand new adventure like no other. Let go of the old and embrace the new. For indeed, each day is totally new and unknown and thus, how can you expect it to be the same as the day before? With an open hearted expectation of joy and happiness, fulfillment and perfection, let it unfold toward your open arms with a new mind that is ready to open and receive it as well. The thrill of it all is about to begin.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Intend that each day be filled with positive thoughts, words and actions, that each breath you take be deep and invigorating, that each moment be rich and nourishing in some way. A positive attitude and outlook on life will bring positivity in return, for you attract what you give. You attract that which you also emit, so stay tuned into the positivity channel and listen for positive vibes coming your way. And take a moment at the end of each day to ask yourself how you did. Did I stay positive? Did positivity come my way? And look at all the positive ways the universe met you, for indeed whether subtle or strong there will have been positivity in your life—it’s a law of nature, the law of attraction.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Take good care of yourself in all the ways you have learned are compatible with who you have become, with the intention of enhancing your balance and stability, mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. You are a multidimensional being with incredible capacities, and do not ever think otherwise. Experience all that you are by intending each day to pay attention to the signs that come to guide you and show you the way forward, for that is the direction to take, forward, always forward toward getting to more fully know and understand the multidimensional you.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Chuck’s Place: The Golden Opportunity Of Now

Infinite relaxation…
-Artwork © 2024 Jan Ketchel

I completely daydreamed through grammar school. One day, a quantum thought presented itself to my consciousness. It started with the notion of a finite line, perhaps an inch in length.

I reasoned that if I were to keep cutting that line in half, though I might not have the instruments to do so, that that halving process would go on for infinity. As long as there was a thing, there could always be a half of it. With this realization, I discovered infinity in a finite 1-inch line.

Today, I find infinity in my finite physical body. If I tell my body to relax, I can feel it halve its level of tension in my musculature. Often I’ll do this in accompaniment with an exhalation. I then pause, no breath, and notice the newly reduced level of tension in my body. I then tell my body to hold that level as I inhale and further release upon exhalation, taking the tension level down another notch.

I find that there is no end to a deepening level of relaxation. In fact, at a certain level, the experience is no longer that of physicality but one of pure vibrant energy. Even at that level the deepening relaxation is endless, with a sound frequency that continues to rise in pitch as physicality continues to diminish.

At a certain level, we are all fundamentally infinite quantum-energy beings. When we reach that quantum energy level of our being, with consciousness, we are no longer limited by a mindset of physicality. We are now in an undefined state of pure fluid energy. Here, consciousness of the particle state of physical life shifts to its complementary wave state of pure energy.

Joe Dispenza defines this wave state as our fifth-dimensional realm of existence, the gateway to quantum opportunity. When we are freed from the confines of our defined physical being, we open to the infinite state of possibilities that are all simultaneously present in the quantum realm.

If with conscious intent, while in that realm, we imagine what we want, we set in motion its physical realization at the particle level of our existence, the realm of waking life. As John’s Gospel aptly begins: “In the beginning was the word, and the word was made flesh.” Our consciousness at the quantum level is the creator. The words we utter and the scenes we imagine are the suggestions that the subconscious mind will fashion into the flesh.

What typically interferes with this process is the entrenched hardwired beliefs that resist relinquishing their particle formulations in the mind and heart. Transmuting these solid holdouts is exemplified by the destructive action of The Tower card in the Tarot.

As the Tower card suggests, all new construction requires the complete breakdown and clearing of prior construction before a new building can be constructed. In our current world, even the appropriateness of the polio vaccine is being seriously challenged.  All the basic tenets of science and civilization are currently on the potential chopping block.

We are entering a science fiction novel, with characters from a Gotham-like city assuming control. I say this without judgment. This cartoon-like version of reality, with all its superpowers, is indeed forming into a solid reality. A quantum possibility is manifesting before our eyes.

What made this possible was the destruction of reigning beliefs about the nature of reality, coupled with the incessant repetition of words suggesting a potential new reality.

This incessant, destructive action upon the analytical mind is the entry point for all shamanic journeys into quantum reality. The golden opportunity of now is to employ this current collective energy of outer uncertainty inwardly, asking ourselves to suspend judgment as to what is possible, as we allow ourselves the largess to imagine a new life, freed of the limitation of prior habit.

I encourage saturation in listening to Joe Dispenza’s lengthy meditations as a practical path to quantum access. Repetition alone is extremely powerful, as modeled by the incoming president of the United States. Repetition can eradicate old beliefs and install new beliefs. As always, I suggest the intent in repetition be for the greater good.

I also suggest the practice of infinite relaxation to reach the quantum realm. The ability to relax is the smoothest exit strategy from the womb at birth.

The ability to completely relax is the smoothest transition attitude when it’s time to let go of physical life.

The ability to relax allows us the confidence and fluidity to become quantum creators of a fulfilled life.

Can we allow ourselves the divine freedom to create a new life, just as we are seeing mirrored before us in outer reality?

The year 2025 is the year of a quantum leap. Take advantage within the self to discover that everything and anything is indeed possible! Let there be no doubt.

With gratitude to all,
Chuck
