Everyone has good days and bad days. That’s human. And you are human. But you are also spirit—energy. You are made up of flesh and blood, so to speak, but you are also made up of ethereal energy, which is your vital lifeforce. That vital lifeforce within you is connected to everything else that has lifeforce, everything around you, seen and unseen. When you tune into another person, to a pet, even to a wild creature, you are bound to experience their energy, their lifeforce as well. When you get into attunement with your own energy, your own spirit, your own lifeforce, you can lift yourself out of the doldrums and into a more flowing state of energy, and then you can more easily get into attunement with the energy, spirit and lifeforce of others. This is what energy healers tap into. Everyone can do it. See what happens as you let yourself check in with the lifeforces around you today. You might find that you aren’t having a bad day after all!

All our love,

Even as the old still tries to overtake you, brush it away and firmly declare that you are leaving it behind. With such definiteness turn your thoughts of the old to thoughts of the new that you wish for yourself and others. Turn your energy up to a good vibration that is ready to receive rather than fight, to a vibration that is on a par with the vibration of the Universe that grants your wishes. Stay in that good vibration. Let it permeate you so that the Universe that grants all wishes will feel your attunement and respond to it in like manner. All that is good is just waiting for you to tune into it.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Spirit is guiding you all the time, trying to show you the way, trying to influence your choices, trying to get your attention. Pay attention to the subtle ways that Spirit comes to call as much as to the loud knocks or the sudden gifts. Everyday occurrences of Spirit’s call may go unheeded, but they are the ones you need the most. Pay attention. Get attuned to how Spirit speaks. Become aware. Over time you will find your way and with Spirit’s guidance may you be happy as well, within and without.

Sending  you love,

Recapitulation & Higher Attunement

The real lesson of trauma is not that it grants us leave to be victims to be compensated, or survivors to be admired, but that it offers us a gateway to experiences of our Higher Self, offering us a way to experiences of our true nature as energy. Every bad memory is a doorway to accessing the lessons learned during our traumatic experiences, for indeed there is a lesson of Higher Consciousness in everything. Our journey through trauma has the potential to show us the way to achieving that state of Higher Consciousness on a more regular basis.

Recapitulation is about aligning with spirit and getting attuned to its potential, now, in a conscious state, rather than in the unconscious state of trauma. This is what all my books are about, recognizing life as a journey to higher attunement. Recapitulation is about taking the conscious journey to getting there, from dissociation from spirit to union with spirit. No matter the vehicle or method that gets us there, it’s what we’re all seeking, conscious union with our wholeness, the powerful spirit energy that we are.

Are we lucky? That which once made us a victim or a survivor has the greater potential, if we dare take it to the next level, to catapult us far beyond ordinary reality and ordinary states of consciousness. In recapitulation we learn how to do this with awareness. What once happened to us in a dissociated state now has the potential to teach us what we are truly capable of. How did we survive the horrific things that happened to us? Were we just the lucky ones? The answers all lie within us.

In recapitulating, in facing our fears and going beyond the defenses that have kept us safe and protected, we offer ourselves the gateway to our personal truths but also to attunement with our personal Higher Self, our state of Higher Consciousness, our true state of energy, light, and wisdom. It’s a journey not for the faint of heart but for the true warrior that lies within. And of course you have that warrior inside of you, it’s what kept you alive and still does!

Sending  you love and wishing you well on your journey to wholeness,

Jan

Pay attention to your body, from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet, to the head and brain full of ideas, to your belly full of fears, to your arms and hands that do, to your legs and feet that are either reluctant or eager, to your inner systems that pump life into you and keep you alive, that keep your body functioning so that life may proceed. Treat this mass of yourself well so that it may treat you well, so that your spirit may reside in a house of calmness and unspoiled beauty. When your body suffers so does your spirit. Keep both of them happy and healthy, in alignment with nature and the bounty provided. Even in times of hardship and stress, it is these two companions, body and spirit, that deserve your utmost attention so that they may remain in tune, in alignment, and fully functioning in a healthy manner upon your path of heart. Their intent is your intent. Their life is your life. Their importance is your uppermost importance too. Everything else pales in comparison. Without one there is no other. Be well.

Sending you love and support,
