Begin each day with a nod to the divine within the self, the spirit self that resides within. Ask it to guide and protect you, to show you the way, to help you make decisions that are conducive to personal growth and for the greater good. Ask for the kind of wisdom that will allow you to be helpful to others while simultaneously allowing you to be receptive and open-hearted throughout the day. And end your prayer with gratitude for the life you are in and for the divine that is within you. In gratitude, give thanks for being you.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Stability comes from within and is manifested without when that strongly centered stability is allowed to form a life structure that is conducive to growth and evolution. Imagine the world without the structure of nature. In that case, Earth would be a planet devoid of life. Life is what brings structure. The art of living presents possibilities, choices and decisions that in turn produce the structures of a life. That which contains also allows for transformation. Look to constructing containers within your own life that will provide the perfect mix of tension and flexibility to allow you to continually transform. It’s what life is really all about, after all.

Care of the physical body is essential to ensure a long and productive life, but care of the spirit and the inner self is equally important for vitality, curiosity and creativity. To be curious about the mysteries of life, and to pursue them, will keep your spirit alive and growing along with your physical prowess. There is no reason not to pay attention to your inner world, for it is the great playing field of the spirit, where it will find what it needs for evolution and transformation. Many people rarely pay attention to the needs of their spirit and live a very extraverted life, seeking what they want in the world outside of themselves, while others look inward for gratification. Your own spirit may direct you to live outwardly or inwardly, seeking where you must. Either way, it grows along with you in its own way.

Sending you love,

You are living through a time of great change and transformation on a personal, a collective and a cosmic level. Within the self is where the focus should be. Rather than getting all upset about what is happening outside of you, focus on what is happening within. Within is the playing field of transformation. On an individual level this is where you face the collective and cosmic changes that affect you and ask you to change as well. There is no stopping the force of change. No matter where it is taking you, it’s time to step up and become more fully your true self. Your true self is human and also infinite. With that in mind, explore all possibilities and open your heart to the changes that have arrived and those that are still to come. With an open heart there is room for compassion, kindness and love to both emerge and be received. Keep always an open heart.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Maintain balance so that heart, mind and body remain as one, so that what you imagine you can create comes to fruition, so that what you dream becomes reality. With heart, mind and body aligned nothing will stand in your way. Rest assured that such alignment will bring you into better alignment with not only the energy within yourself but also with energies outside of yourself, and just as you will be better and calmer within so will your actions and interactions in the outside world be better, calmer and more fruitful. If there is one goal to pursue, this may be it. For without balance chaos has an opening, and chaos is not good, for you or the world.

Sending you love,
