Meditations for the Holidays

-Photo by Jan Ketchel

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,
Jan & Chuck

MEDITATIONS
For Setting Intentions

Wake up to each new day (or any time) to an enlivening meditation with Dr. Joe Dispenza.

Most Powerful Morning Meditation – 35 minutes
You are the Placebo Meditation – 58 Minutes

LABYRINTH WALKS
For Grounding and Centering

Virtually walk around Jan’s Quartz Crystal Labyrinth in the woods on our property. Turn the volume up so you can hear nature in all its glory, in summer, the cicadas and crickets and in winter the crackling of leaves.

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

It is high time to dispense with things that no longer work, to let things go as you turn in a new direction in mind, heart and action. With a unified intent, with your heart focused on a fresher outlook, and with your mind sharp as a tack, look now in the direction of hope, compassion and love for all. With the greater good of self and other uppermost in your intentions, stay the path that will lead in a direction of benefit and possibility for all, no matter what kind of chaos surrounds you. One good heart, one determined mind turned in the direction of good is all you need to see progress.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
