In the midst of chaos find balance within the self, in the heart center that knows what calmness is, for it is the center of love, compassion and kindness. How can it connect to those attributes if not from a place of calmness? Think of love and how its magic can cure anything that humans disrupt. Love finds its invisible way into other hearts where it does its good work. Stir it within the self to do the good work that it was made to do, throughout the self and throughout the world. Let love be the cure.

Sending you love,

Besides your physical body, what else needs nurturing? What calls to you to be lived? What part of you has yet to be expressed? Notice your wants and desires. Perhaps you have not attended to your physical self and it needs you the most. Perhaps your spirit, your creative self, calls out to you and desires expression. Perhaps you have not been very receptive and the feminine needs some attention. Perhaps your masculine side is asking for you to take notice. Everyone is made up of multiple aspects, all vying for attention throughout life. Get to know who is in charge, who is ruling, and allow balance into your life by acknowledging all of who you are and giving all of who you are areas of expression. In this manner balance, contentment and happiness will ensue. Operate from a place of love for self and that will make it all go so much better as well!

Sending you love,

Remain committed to the goals you have set for the New Year. Day by day restate them silently so that they become embedded in your psyche, so that they become a part of you. Changing yourself and your life is really just a matter of substituting one habitual behavior for another. You already know how capable you are of habitual behavior so switching to something new is not a problem. Keep your heart attuned to this new plan for change too, along with your mental prowess, for ultimately it is the prowess of the heart that will determine the final outcome of your endeavors. If your heart is in alignment with your resolve then all will be well.

Sending you love,

Find solace in knowing that you are in charge of yourself, of your life and of your destiny. You may wish to blame others for how things turn out but in another frame of mind you know that no one else has anything to do with you and your choices, that ultimately everything is up to you. To understand this is your saving grace. Begin to change your frame of mind little by little, day by day, by changing your thoughts, by how you think about yourself and the journey you are on. By gradually taking control of your own thoughts you will also take control of your life. No one else can think for you, just as no one else can choose for you what your next step will be. Pause often and question your decision: Is this really what I want? Ask your heart to give you its input and ask your spirit to pipe up with its desires more often too. Soon you will see progress and understand more fully the true reality that you alone have made the life you are in, and thus also that you alone can make your own new future.

Sending you love,

Balance, achieved first within the self, will bring balance to the world. Each person has the capacity to change the world by first changing the self, by first getting the self into a balance that is neither excessive nor inflated, neither spare nor deflated but of good even tone so that the personal energy is nurturing and supportive, helpful and stable for all systems of the body, the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. As the self comes into right balance everything around the self will also come into balance. It’s as simple as that. Begin with the self. There is no greater goal at this time. Heal the self and you will heal the world.
