Keep your head on. Remain levelheaded and soberly contained no matter what comes to challenge you. To go off your rocker, so to speak, never helps anyone, especially you. Contain your anger at the world and discover its roots in yourself, for everything that triggers you on the outside is only reflecting something going on inside you. Turn inward and investigate. The world would certainly be a calmer, more peaceful place if more people did just that.

Sending you love,

It’s easy to say that you are a spiritual person but much harder to actually be one. To be spiritual is to live according to hard-earned and hard-learned insights, to hold fast to the true fact that you are more than mind and matter, and to operate fully and unconditionally from a place of love, compassion, non-judgment, and kindness, to fully express yourself from the heart, to let your spirit speak and teach you about yourself and to accept what it has to tell you. A lifelong journey of truth seeking and acceptance of self is a spiritual journey indeed, and well worth a lifetime’s probing. To know yourself is to know more than yourself and that you are more than that, for you are indeed a part of everything.

Sending you love,

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.
