It’s not that hard to calm the central nervous system. Look at a beautiful picture, and breathe deeply. Imagine a place that is special to you, and breathe deeply. Close your eyes, and breathe deeply. Sit in the light of the sun, and breathe deeply. Take a walk, and breathe deeply. Sit beside water, and breathe deeply. Gaze at the night sky, and breathe deeply. There are so many opportunities in a day to get calm, to take care of yourself for a few moments, and to align with your own spirit. Just do it, just breathe.

Sending you love,

When change comes unexpectedly the best course of action is to wholeheartedly embrace it and with a calm heart accept its place in your life. Sometimes new doors open, a new path appears, or a sudden change in direction is necessary. Sometimes survival means doing something you never imagined you could or would do.

All of these opportunities for change are also opportunities to change the self, within and without, and to do so with love, kindness and compassion will make the coming journey that much more meaningful.

Sending you love,

Remember, what has not yet happened has already happened. What is to come has already arrived. What will be already is. All time is now. There is no difference between one day and the next except your perspective on it. Keep a positive attitude and all will be well.

Sending you love,

Continue on your personal path of heart and positive progress toward the good even though things around you may not appear positive, heartfelt or good. To remain a solid light of positivity and good in a dark and negative world will have an effect, subtle at first, but even one person can change an entire roomful of negative people by speaking the truth in a heartfelt and positive way. It’s never too late to change.

Sending you love,

Your true power lies within you, not in the world outside of you. Though you may seek to gain from what the world offers, it will do you little good if you are not able to bring it within and assimilate it within the inner self. An idea remains just an idea unless it is brought inward and allowed to blossom. A spark of the creative will remain but a spark if it is not brought inward and allowed to flourish in some creative output. Use your true inner power to cure the self of all that holds you from your true creative expression and then watch yourself blossom.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
