It’s not unusual to be conflicted. It’s not unusual to experience strife within the self. The mind may think one thing and the heart another. The body may want one thing and the spirit another. Take time today to meditate, to sit in stillness and let body and spirit communicate without your interference. Get into a good, calm state where there is no interference from the busy mind. If you need to, you can say a calming mantra to your busy mind so it stops interfering. Give it a word that makes sense to you, that calms you, and say it over and over again. If you persist, then things will eventually calm down, within and without.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Balance is key to everything, both within and without, within the physical body and within the spirit. Maintain balance by keeping your attention focused on what is going on inside you a little bit more today. Keep your attention on what your body is saying to you rather than overriding it again. It’s so easy to override the true needs of the self, so try to stay alert for longer periods today. Ask your body to let you know what it truly needs and wants. And then do the same to your spirit. They will respond.

Sending you love,

To be offended is an offense in itself. Let go of such feelings in favor of just loving what is. There is no need to be offended by the thoughtless acts of others. It’s just a waste of your energy. Instead focus on yourself, on your inner needs, on those of your body and your spirit in sync with each other. If you focus wholly on the body, you will miss the messages of spirit. And if you focus wholly on the spirit, you will miss the messages of the body. Find the perfect balance that allows you to attend to both body and spirit. Try to meditate a little bit each day, even if only for a few minutes, in whatever way feels natural to you. There are no set rules that need be followed about meditation. It is just a quieting of the body and the mind so that relaxation may happen, so that centering within may happen, and so that alignment of true self with true spirit may happen. When you do this, you will soon realize that being offended is a waste of your time and energy.

Sending you love,

A guiding principle is to always pay attention to what is going on inside yourself, inside your heart, and inside your body. Though you may think that your heart and body are silent, this is not the case. They speak to you all the time in different and various ways that you can learn. Once you get used to how they speak to you it will be smooth sailing ahead, unless you forget this most important principle of guidance—that it is all within you.

Care of the spirit is just as important as care of the body. When one is in good shape the other is usually in good shape too, but too often thoughts interfere and interrupt the natural flow of energy and communication between the two. With body and spirit in synch there is no glitch too wide, no disturbance too big that communication fails. Allow the natural bridge between the two to be as small as possible so that one always knows what the other is doing and so that health and vitality, flexibility and good peace prevail.
