Balance within will bring balance without. If you are in balance within yourself that balance will extend naturally from you to all you interact with in your world. If you are calm, you can expect calmness in return. If you are compassionate, you can expect compassion to greet you. If you smile, others smile. When you are at peace within there will be peace without. What you are resonates. Keep this in mind as you go into your day and as you interact with people and pets, as you encounter emotions and feelings, and as you seek a loving and peaceful world, As within, so without.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Don’t forget to turn to your heart often during the day, to your heart center, checking in to see how you are doing and to remind yourself to keep an open heart, to remain compassionate, kind and loving toward self and other. If you live a heart-centered life things become easier; anger reduces, pain resolves, habits and patterns of behavior that no longer serve you gradually fall by the wayside. In heart-centeredness find your true path, your true state as a loving yet detached being, fully present and compassionate yet without judgment, jealousy, or ego driven to the point of loss of self and loss of feeling. In heart-centered focus, all that is is finally in balance, and so are you.

Sending you love,

When times of great change arrive it is the wise person who accepts them and learns how to work with them. There are pivotal points in life when a sense of never-going-back becomes clear. Such times are marks of deep rather than subtle change, both within and without, and a determination is made that has profound and lasting effects. The world you live in is going through such times now and each individual is feeling it in some way. No one escapes the effects of worldwide change. Note how your own life is changing and make adjustments that are helpful, beneficial and internally positive, even while you face the deeper meaning of the outer world’s problems. No one is alone. Where one suffers so do others. Remain in a positive frame of mind that keeps abreast of the change and changes too.

Sending you love,

You have the innate ability to shift yourself, to change yourself, to advance yourself. Whether you need some kind of healing or some kind of motivation, you have within you the knowledge and energy to take on the task. In quiet inner work, in looking to the self rather than to others, this innate ability will emerge. Your own wisdom is all you need. Sit quietly and breathe. Let the mind be still by emptying it constantly of patter; eventually it will be calm. With practice your inner journey to wisdom, healing, insight and new vitality will not only begin but, before you know it, you will be well on the way to the change you need and desire. It all begins within.

Sending you love,

Misunderstandings occur when there is a failure to communicate accurately. This can lead to devastating consequences, both in the world between any two or more people as well as within the self. The only way to overcome misunderstandings is to be truthful, but being truthful is often a tricky proposition, for there is often a lack or inability to be truthful within the self. How then can truth be told outside of the self? Seek to be truthful, as you face your own dilemmas, and seek first resolution within. The truth can be a hard truth or it can simply mean taking a look from a different perspective. Either way, some form of acceptance will be required, within and without.
