In times of stress be aware that ideas of illness can arise. This might mean that an inkling of sickness is really telling you to slow down, that you are doing too much, giving too much, overwhelming your own body with too many stress hormones that find no place to rest. Take care of your body, especially during times of stress, for rest of the body, mind and spirit are as important as peace in the world. And if you are not at peace within yourself then there will not be peace outside of you either. So, get some good and nurturing rest in whatever stress-free way appeals to you, for a stress-free you will mean a stress-free world.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Notice your mood upon awakening. If you are not feeling grounded, calm and centered then it might be time to reset yourself with some positive activity that will immediately shift you into a better state of mind. For it is not helpful to the world’s energy if your own energy is not on the up-and-up, if it is not optimistic, open, loving, kind and compassionate. If your own energy is depleted you can expect to be met only by depleted energy as well. Find your own proven method of shift that you can immediately rely upon if you wake up in a negative mood, full of self-pity, or lacking in focus. Use your method as often as is necessary so that you are a contributor to good energy and not a drain on it. It may be the most important thing you can do to help the world at this time.

All our love,

When things seem to be at their worst, the best thing to do is to shift out of the mood of depression and suffering and into a place of calm certainty that by changing the self, even a little bit, the whole world will also shift a little bit too. When you see someone walking into a room with a glowing smile on their face, don’t you wonder what it is about them that makes you want to smile too? When there is laughter in the air, don’t you want to get in on the joke or the joy? When there is some delicious smell in the kitchen, don’t you want to taste whatever is cooking? A sense of calmness, a smile, laughter and a delicious smell all promote something good. Everyone has the opportunity, every day, to do the same.

All our love,

Underneath all the hoopla that is going on in the world lies a pattern that must play out, the great unfolding of the next phase of human existence. It’s not unusual to be frightened by what is unfolding every day in the world. It’s not unusual to wonder what will happen. But it is far better to focus on what can be done today to help move the world in a more positive, loving direction. It’s never too late to step up to a change of mind, of thinking, of attitude, and to align with a more positive direction. If everyone were on that same positive trajectory the world would surely transform a lot quicker.

All our love,

When tensions arise, reground yourself by actually putting your feet on the ground and feeling the energy of the Earth. Reconnect yourself to that grounding Mother. Let yourself be held in her grip for more than just a second, and feel how she supports and nurtures you. Let yourself be in her energy long enough to find that you also have her grounding ability within yourself. Let yourself admit that you have this within at all times. You always have the energy to shift yourself out of one place into another, out of one mood and into another. You have, at all times, within yourself, the ability to ground and nurture. When you ground yourself, you help the whole world get more grounded too.

All our love,
