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.

All our love,

There is no telling what the outcome of events will be, but we can tell you, from our perspective on the other side of life as you know it, that choices do matter. Take time to sit and contemplate the outcome of decisions, to envision what is needed that is best for the greater whole, and then what is needed to act upon that vision. To act on the decision that will be for the greatest good is to be in alignment with something outside of the self, outside of and beyond the ego self. To make decisions based on the filter of the heart is the best method of achieving goals and outcomes that will serve the many, rather than decisions based on the desires and needs of the few, which will, in the end, only serve the few.

All our love,

In times of stress be aware that ideas of illness can arise. This might mean that an inkling of sickness is really telling you to slow down, that you are doing too much, giving too much, overwhelming your own body with too many stress hormones that find no place to rest. Take care of your body, especially during times of stress, for rest of the body, mind and spirit are as important as peace in the world. And if you are not at peace within yourself then there will not be peace outside of you either. So, get some good and nurturing rest in whatever stress-free way appeals to you, for a stress-free you will mean a stress-free world.

All our love,
