In times of trouble in the world, keep your heart center alive and well. Practice centering on your heart center as we have been teaching over the past few days. The more you do this the more familiar and automatic it will become, and you will find that it’s easier to do at a moment’s notice. Sitting calmly and quietly, with attention focused on your heart center can become an anchor for you in any storm. Try it right now, and notice how instantly something changes within your very physiology, how something within you feels different, and how automatically you tune down your body so that nothing seems to matter as much as it did a moment ago. This is a good use of your heart center.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

To be in alignment with your heart, remember the first and very simple practice of breathing into your heart center, one breath at a time, until you feel a stirring, a tingling, a clear response to your slow and gentle urging. Being fully in alignment with your heart center is an inside job, only you can do it and only you can know when you are there. Your body and your energetic centers, your chakras, will let you know when you are there. Keep that alignment alive and well, every day of your life. It will change you like nothing else!

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Every day is an opportunity to make new decisions, either slowly and deliberately, with planning and preparation, or abruptly, with neither forethought nor outcome in mind. No matter your preferred method, trust that when you are in alignment with your heart there will only be positive results from your decisions. Trusting your heart is the first big step of change.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

As we often encourage, stay centered within as you weather the chaos without. There is no time like now to practice this kind of inner centering. As you take in the world outside of you, getting more and more upset, immediately turn inward to your inner calm self and know that within you is the capability to instantly pull away from the chaos and into calmness. This is a human capability that is often not used to full advantage. But in such times as you live in it’s a great tool. Use it every day to bring balance into your life. It’s the best trick for staying calm in the midst of chaos. Use it wisely, not to escape reality but to balance it out so that it does not overwhelm you. Let it calm and center you in knowing your own inner strength and ability to withstand anything.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Charge yourself with carrying out acts of kindness. Intend that your day be a day of compassionate thought and loving action toward self and others. Remember that you are a part of all things, the Earth and its inhabitants and energies, and of nature itself, a part of the wholeness. If one part of the wholeness is kind, loving and compassionate so is more of the whole equally so. In this manner establish a proactive approach to life. As subtle as it may seem, your energy affects everything around you. Take advantage of having a positive effect today.

Sending you love,
