Remind yourself often as you go through the day to return to balance, to inner peace and calm. You can even speak the words—peace and calm—to yourself and immediately feel their effect. Even just thinking those two words will have an effect because there is power in words and in thoughts. May you experience peace and calm today, and every day.

In times of stress be aware that ideas of illness can arise. This might mean that an inkling of sickness is really telling you to slow down, that you are doing too much, giving too much, overwhelming your own body with too many stress hormones that find no place to rest. Take care of your body, especially during times of stress, for rest of the body, mind and spirit are as important as peace in the world. And if you are not at peace within yourself then there will not be peace outside of you either. So, get some good and nurturing rest in whatever stress-free way appeals to you, for a stress-free you will mean a stress-free world.

Find peace within yourself today, no matter what is going on in the world outside of you. Find peace in a few calm breaths. Find peace in a heart-centered prayer. Find peace in giving gratitude. Find peace in sitting calmly and quieting the mind. Find peace in some tender music, in a slow walk, in the first light upon your face. Find peace in the company of like-minded people. Or find peace in solitude. Whatever it takes, give yourself permission to experience peace in some way today. It will anchor and ground you and fuel your day with a certainty of self-regulation that only you can grant yourself, at any time.
All our love,

As part of the world continues to show that it does not want to stop ramping up rage and discontent, another part of the world continues to show that peace is possible. To be in alignment with peace, within and without, is surely a worthwhile activity. The more people who are active in setting the goal of peace within, through practices such as heart-centered breathing, the more they engage peace in the world around them. When you are at peace within yourself, then everyone you come into contact with will be affected by that peace as well.

Continually and consciously find your balance. Tune into your body, your central nervous system and your emotional state throughout the day. Notice what is going on inside. Are you calm? Centered? Feeling peaceful? Or are you the opposite of those states? Why? Suggest to yourself that as you tune in that you also close your eyes for a moment or two. Breathe. Let go of what is currently on your mind and just be in the moment. Breathe deeply a few times. Notice how you feel physically, mentally and emotionally. Self care can be as simple as that to begin with. Just pause, breathe, and let go with a sigh. Simple.
Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
