Fortunately, each new day is another opportunity to step closer to getting to know yourself at a deeper level. In turning inward more often, in asking for help and letting help come to you, you offer yourself the opportunity to face the world in a new way. Perhaps it’s time to be humble, to be practical, to be observant, to be more fully present to what is happening on subtler levels of consciousness. What is your body trying to alert you to? What is your spirit attempting to teach you? What is your heart asking of you? Sit quietly and see if you can tune in. Something is bound to come through. And if you aren’t quite getting it yet, don’t worry, it will show up again and again until you do. Just keep an open mind and an open heart, and keep asking to be shown what it is that is most important for you to know today.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Training of the mind is just as important as training of the body. To hone the mind so that calmness is easily achieved will bring not only the mind into calmness but also the body and the emotions, and it will allow the spirit within you to be more easily heard. Your spirit yearns to speak with you, to guide you and show you the way. The best way to connect is to get the thinking mind, the busy mind, out of the way. Learn simple meditation tricks to relax the body and the thinking mind so that calmness ensues, even for just a few minutes at a time. It will do you wonders and your spirit will rejoice.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Care of the self encompasses many levels, but perhaps the first step in self care is self-awareness that really turns inward and asks, what do I really need? Self care that begins with that question may address the obvious issues with the body: good nutrition, enough exercise and plenty of sleep, the main bodily needs. Once the body is set the creative self may pop up and ask, what about me? Take time to allow the creative to come forth, for this is practice for your spirit to become more known to you, your intuitive self. Let it be more known by first paying attention to your creative needs, whatever they may be. Over time you will hear the voice of your spirit more clearly and when this happens you will realize how well you have been caring for your whole self.

Sending you love,

Change that develops over time and has a chance to settle into body, mind, and spirit with unshakable certainty is good change indeed. Change that happens spontaneously may lead to needing a second chance to more firmly implant. Either way, when change comes knocking, embrace it with gratitude and give thanks for the opportunity it affords to begin anew.

Sending you love,

A good barometer of how you are feeling is to check in with your body rather than with your mind. Your mind might tell you one thing and your body something else. Which is more honest? The mind has a tendency to explain, complain, and conjure, to trick, but the body does not lie. Tune in to your body more often and ask it what it needs, what it has to say, and what it has to offer. It might decide that one direction is better than another, that one decision is better than another, that one plan is better than another. Of course, the body, like the mind, can quickly change, so be alert and go with the flow!
