Sit in calmness as often as possible. Breathe. Focus on your heart center and breathe. Slow down everything inside you so that you can feel yourself as a separate and contained being. Let the world outside of you disappear as you breathe, and just be at one with and within yourself. Sitting in heart-centered calmness is the magic pill you don’t even know you need, but it will serve you well to take it as often as you can, for it will not only connect you to yourself, it will also connect you to the divine.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

When the mind revs with worry, slow it down with the breath, by focusing on breathing in and out deeply, by counting the breath, the holding time, and the exhalation. Give the mind a rest by refocusing it on something productive, for a mind that spins out of control is good for nothing. Let the spirit take over and bring you out of your spin and into a place of calmness, into peaceful oneness with nature, inside and out.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Place your attention on yourself today, on your inner self, the being that you are inside, who speaks to you so kindly, who guides you with words of wisdom and action, and who knows you so well. Breathe deeply as you merge with this present and yet quiet self. Get to know this self so that you may find your balance at any time, in any situation, and during any turmoil. Breathe into your heart center and acknowledge that this self is the real you, the one that brought you life in this world, and the one who wishes for fulfillment of that life. This is you.

Sending you love,

When things are intense the wise calm themselves, not letting in that which is outside, breathing deeply, letting the breath calm the body and the heart calm the mind. In calm, centered breathing the heart hears the signal to be the center of decision making, and wisdom becomes its norm. Turn inward and let the heart speak its wisdom when things get tough, and notice how nothing draws a reaction from you and how all is calm within. This is good.

Sending you love,

Return always to a heart-centered state whenever you get pulled away from your center and your balance. Breathe and know that your life-giving breath is the anchor to your body, the grounding mechanism to remind you of who you are in your present life. Breathe and know yourself more fully. Breathe and find yourself, a loving and compassionate being. Breathe in love and compassion for yourself even as you do for others. Breathe and know life in all its permutations. Breathe yourself through anything and know calmness once again.
