Direct experience is the best teacher. When you hear of something, read of something, contemplate something, you are only half touching on what it really means or entails. It is in the experience of something that you fully know it. Fully knowing your own self and your own spirit is an experience like no other. We always encourage that you seek to know yourself as fully as possible by letting your life’s experiences guide you and show you what is most important for you to learn on any given day. Some days may feel lackluster but that just means something big is on the way, so get ready!

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Continue the good work of getting to know yourself more fully each day. Question things as they arise but don’t get overly attached to anything. Seek answers in the unfolding of your day. How will this day unfold? Who knows? Lean into it with your full attention, with your heart open and your mind and body at ease. Let the energy of the day bring you what you most need and teach you what you are ready to learn. Let the energy of the day show you just how important and beautiful you are, within and without.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Perfection is overrated. It does not come easy, nor is it a good idea for the most part. Seeking perfection leads to other issues that may not be conducive to a good life. Far better to seek enjoyment and creativity, love and gratitude, kindness and compassion. Far better to continually strive to know the self, better and better every day, so that there is always something in the future that is more enticing and important than the day just lived. Let your life be like a flowing river and you the wondrous being that allows the flow of your own life to lead you where you need to go next, to teach you what you need to learn next, and to guide you ever-onward into discovering the mysteries of the self and the life you have chosen to lead this time around. Now isn’t that just perfect?

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Spend a little time in silence today, in a quiet, calm space with your eyes shut, your mind quiet, thoughts null. Let the silence permeate you and remind you of what is most important to you in life, not the busyness, the chaos, the craziness but the pure joy of getting to know yourself on a deeper level than your everyday self. Find connection to the inner self who sits quietly in that silence within, patiently waiting for you to come say hello. That calm inner self might remind you of what’s really important to know and focus on, of what’s really best for you. Sit in silence for a little while and see what happens. In this manner you will begin to make a pathway that one day will open wide and you will realize the truths that have been there all along.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Know yourself. Get to know and understand yourself, how you tend to operate, what triggers you to act or to defend, what causes you to stress out, to overdo, to fall into childish patterns of behavior. In knowing yourself the goal is to confront all those things about yourself that stand in the way of your progress, to free yourself from them so that you may arrive at a place of humility, love and compassion for yourself and others; for in knowing yourself you will know and understand everyone else as well. Get to know yourself in the deepest way so that you may experience life in the deepest way as well.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
