It is advisable to seek calmness throughout the day. Take time to sit, eyes closed to the world, and breathe yourself into a calm state. When the central nervous system is agitated or stressed the whole body suffers. Longevity requires peace of mind, body and spirit. Daily attention to what is happening within the systems in the body and mind will be of great aid to the entire system. Meditation, walking, sitting or lying down, is always advisable. It doesn’t have to be elaborate. Just a simple calming exercise for a few minutes at a time will do the trick. Take some time for yourself, to retreat, breathe and grow calm. It will do you more good than you know!

Sending you love,

Focus on what is going right in your life rather than on what is going wrong. Incline toward the positive rather than the negative. Lean toward looking ahead rather than looking at what you did not get right, do right, or say appropriately. Everyone makes mistakes. Accept your role in the unfolding of your life and look forward to playing a new role in the days to come. It will do you good to be humble.

Sending you love,

Continue the good work on the self, seeking balance, moderation, and the kind of awareness that only comes from getting to know the self on the deepest level. Ask the self often: What is right to do today? Am I furthering myself in a good way? Seek adventure and experience that is nurturing for the whole self, offering a good balance of spiritual pleasure as well as physical, for you are more than just a physical being, you are an infinite being as well.

Sending you love,

Center yourself in knowing that you have within you all that you need to live a life that is fulfilling, meaningful, and stable. You might not figure everything out at once but the capacity does lie within you. Learn from your own life, and from the lives of those around you, what you want to do and how you want to spend your time. Look to nature to guide you as well, to its unfolding seasons, to the coming and going of night and day, to the play of light and shadow. You may not get everything right at first, but give it your best effort and before long you will find your way to what is right for you.

Sending you love,

Monitor your energy. What are you doing to compromise it? Tend to it as you would a fire, feeding it and keeping it alive, bright and clear, like a flame full of warmth and light. Your energy is your life force and it needs taking care of, just as your body does. And, indeed, in much the same way as the body. So keep it in good condition with both rest and activity, spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally. Let it both play and reflect, enjoy life to the fullest but also take time to retreat and recharge. You can’t go wrong in life if you take care of your whole self!
