It’s not unusual for life to take a sudden turn, for something to abruptly throw you off your well-worn path. At such times get your bearings by centering yourself and reminding yourself of your personal plan for growth and achievement. What is it that you say you are going to do but are not doing? What is it that you wish for but have not succeeded in finding? Perhaps an abrupt shift in one direction of your life will head you in the right direction to finally achieve your desired goals. The Universe has a funny way of playing games to get a reaction. Where is the Universe trying to get your attention?

Sending you love,

Depending upon your frame of mind in any given moment, you will feel or not feel things happening to you. If something is very subtle you may miss it, but if something is quite painful or abrupt you will surely not miss it. Everything that happens to you is significant in that it is part of the journey you are on. Even the most subtle things, that you miss once, may come around again a second time, a little harder, to get your attention. It’s normal to not notice everything, so don’t worry. Just start today with getting more in tune with your body and your life as it unfolds. Try to see a theme in what is happening and where you are being directed to go. You may begin to see a pattern and begin to see the direction that you are slowly being nudged in. If it seems as if nothing is happening, just wait. Time will tell, as it always does. Sometimes it’s better to wait than to act anyway, so hang around a bit longer with your heart and your mind open to being shown what you need to know.

Sending you love,

“Under normal circumstances” is an oft-used phrase, but it is no longer an apt term. Don’t waste your time and energy talking and thinking about what is normal. There is no longer any normal. Things are changing rapidly. Are you onboard? Are you prepared? It’s that time now. There is no longer a period of waiting for things to change. You are living through one of the greatest changes ever to visit the planet. Abide by the rules of loving kindness, by the wish for all beings to equally share what is available, by the wish for peace and tranquility for all. There exists no separation between you and another. That should be clear. Even those who appear to be quite drastically opposite from you are just fearful and afraid, and they act on that fear rather than reach for a higher perspective, the observer platform of life, where everything and everybody are part of the whole. Remain the eternal observer and, with a wide perspective in sight and heart, begin to understand that you are living in the unfolding time, the next big phase of changes. Remain steadfast in your practices of mindfulness and loving kindness. They are invaluable.

Sending you love,

You thought it couldn’t get worse. You wonder about the world and how it will ever sort out the things that need to be sorted out. Well, those of us on the other side of the so-called veil, suggest that you stay tuned into your own spirit and your own sense of what is right for all beings, not just the self, but all whom you share the planet with; human neighbors, animal neighbors, plant and mineral neighbors. All of you are sharing the same air, the same energy, and the same sun, moon, stars, water, earth, rain and wind. All of you breathe and contribute to the world in an interconnected way. Send your very best intentions out to the universe, to those of us whom help you from our side but also to those whom you share the planet with, asking that all may be well, that all may be safe, and that all may be protected.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Under normal circumstances you would say that everything is going along as it should, that everything that is happening is meant for the best, and that all events eventually lead to the right place and to the right outcome. Today, however, you wonder how you could possibly view the world outside of you as perfectly aligned with what is right. It seems that there is just too much going wrong. Sit again with your quiet self, in your quiet moment of meditation and relaxation, how and where that works best for you. Without judgment, just sit and breathe and calm your jangled nerves. The breath alone can do this. Long, deep breaths, in and out slowly. When you center yourself in this manner you center the world a little bit more too. When you breathe deeply and calm your jangled nerves you calm the jangled nerves of the world around you. When you are able to sit in stillness for just a few moments you add to your store of good and calm energy. This is a very good thing. No matter what is happening around you, find time to do this. Store up your good, calm energy.

Sending you love,
