Pay attention to your thoughts, to what you constantly say to yourself, to how you think about yourself, to how you perceive the world and other people. Notice any negativity, discouragement, despair and immediately shift those thoughts and feelings in a positive direction. Learn to see the positive direction your life is taking rather than the negative direction you perceive to be unfolding. A positive attitude makes all the difference within your mind, within your body and within your spirit. You really can change your reality, but first you have to change your thoughts.

Sending you love,

Let your body lead you more often rather than your thoughts. Thoughts have a tendency to override the body and its natural tendencies. Habits become rulers. A decision to break a habit entails new thoughts and new actions; a decision to think and act differently. Ask your body what it needs from you. Give it time to tell you what it wants without the overarching habits and usual thoughts. It might actually surprise you with its answer.

Sending you love,

You are so much more than your thoughts, your fears, your incessant cravings, your endless desires. So much more is available beyond the busy mind, a vast sea of insights, knowledge and truth accessible to everyone if you learn how to calm the busy mind, still the restless body and attain spatial peace, within and without. In this place of peace, true reality is tapped and a new and different sense of self is realized. Take steps each day to attain peace in body and mind through sitting quietly, being in nature, breathing, so that you still the busy mind. Each day will bring you a little closer and each day a little more peace will build within you. Learn to be in the flow of calm energy that is naturally within you, at your heart center, and from there learn all you can about love, kindness, empathy and compassion. This is what the world needs now.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

So many people seem to need healing these days, but is that really the case? Maybe they just need to let go of fear of living life to the fullest. Maybe they just need to be okay with the fact that life is often scary, nerve-racking, and challenging. Maybe they just need to understand that the changes they are experiencing are just part of a grand plan, an evolutionary plan. Such changes are normal and healing is not always what is needed. A new attitude to life in general, a more positive approach, and a grateful heart may be the best antidotes to challenging times. Instead of healing, it might just be time for a change in attitude that encompasses a greater perspective that knows that real change is the only possible next step.

With so much talk of change there is a tendency to want to rest, to stop everything and just sit down, to protest that it’s too much. But you can’t stop change. Every day, news shows you how incessant it is. Every gray hair shows you how persistent it is. Every change in weather shows you how unpredictable it is. A true warrior aligns and synchronizes with change, accepts the inevitable, while at the same time keeping intentions strong and focused. For a true warrior knows that to go with the flow is the only path to success.
