When times are difficult and uncertain, remain attached to thoughts that are positive and enabling rather than negative and defeating. In times of turmoil, it is best to withdraw from argumentation and instead center within the self in a positive way, saying prayers of gratitude and thanks, mantras that are supportive of a changing life. In so doing, any thoughts of denigration or hopelessness that arise will be swiftly set aside. Keep the heart and mind pure and open to the guidance that will surely come. Sometimes even on the other side of the Earth life there are times of waiting too.

Sending you love,

Your memories can either bring you to a state of bliss or to a state of fear and horror. How you deal with them is key to how you deal with life in general. Are you often frozen and unavailable? Or are you easily flowing through life, happy and contented? Most people have old memories that are uncomfortable. The best way to deal with them is to face them, to look deeply into them, to discover their real meaning and what they offer you now, today. Memories stick around until they are no longer needed. They offer a treasure, though you may not perceive that treasure as pleasurable but rather as disturbing. Their treasure is that once you face them fully, dismantling their power over you, you are rewarded with a return of your own energy that was stuck deeply inside them. Free yourself, free your energy, free your mind, free your life. In times of deep contemplation of old memories, keep in mind that you are doing just that: freeing yourself.

Sending you love,

Solitude is an inner experience of contentment. Seek solitude as an escape from the trials and tribulations of the worldwide difficulties. Seek solitude in nature, in meditation, in setting your future goals, in contemplating your life and the direction you wish it to proceed in from this day forth. Simple steps of self-care, such as these mentioned above may be all you need to start taking better care of yourself, or care of yourself in a new way, a way that is more meaningful and spiritual, and more mentally and physically healthy.

Sending you love,

All journeys have value and all journeyers have equal opportunity to advance in their lives, no matter their starting point. Everyone is born into a life of potential. Some people seem to have it all, very early in life, and they breeze through without a care in the world, while others have many challenges to overcome. Everyone is born into the circumstances that they need and that will help them to advance. Some people will not travel far in their life while others will make great leaps and bounds that carry them far from their beginnings. Without judgment, notice what your own life has challenged you with and how far you have come. Without judgment of others, notice how they are doing what they need to be doing to advance, based on what they have to undertake, just as you do. All beings are beings of light and love and goodness, even those who may not show it; just give them a chance. And don’t forget to give yourself every chance to take up the opportunities that you were born with too. Life! Its purpose is all about being where you are and taking up the challenges that life itself offers you, each and every day, as your stepping stones to greatness.

Sending you love,

Let yourself off the hook a little more often. You are not as bad as you think you are. A little self-knowledge goes a long way as does a little self-compassion. One way to gain a little more self-knowledge is through experience, and by that we mean not just having experiences for the sake of doing things but having experiences with the goal of learning something from them. When you have an experience, and it can be any kind of experience, you are naturally going to feel something, gain something that might be of benefit to you, whether it be that you don’t want to have such an experience ever again or that indeed it was something that you enjoyed. What are you learning about yourself as you experience life and dare yourself to try new things? What more can you say about your experiences? Can you go deeper in finding out what they actually mean to you? Are you satisfied with yourself? Disappointed in yourself? Bored with yourself? Examine your feelings to the fullest, and then decide if you have gained in self-knowledge. If not, then perhaps it’s time to have a different experience.
