Your wholeness awaits. As you pull from within yourself that which holds you back from life and expose it to the light with the intention of learning about yourself and why you do the things you do, or don’t do, know that the process of self-exposure and self-examination has the potential to set you free. It is not selfish to want to know yourself more fully but the utmost unselfish thing you can do. For it will free your energy from its tangled web of fear, worry, envy, jealously, sadness and anger so that you may be free to fully engage in the heart-centered practices of loving kindness and compassion at last.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Life has its rituals and patterns that seem to need attention, especially those attached to family and the expectations of society. But life also, in its evolutionary phase, may require the breaking away from those rituals and patterns so that individuality may be achieved. Individuality involves the evolution of the inner spirit, which may indeed involve breaking away from the constraints of society to discover its true purpose. Rituals uphold and frame life, but at a certain point it may be time to make them less important and to turn instead to what is really needed by the spirit in its intent to evolve. This may involve a period of solitary endeavor, such as recapitulation, in order to resolve old issues that hold the spirit captive. A solitary retreat, even for a few days, may hold the gold that you and your spirit seek.

Sending you love,

A balance is created when what is inside you is no longer overpowering, in control, or dominating. When inner turmoil has lost its punch balance ensues. And how to lessen the punch? With impeccability and by fearlessly confronting what it is that overpowers, controls and dominates one’s thoughts, actions and emotions, one eventually tames the beast within. The kind of balance that ensues is one that cannot be disturbed no matter what comes to challenge. Though more often than not, once one confronts what is going on inside the self, life’s challenges simmer down too, so that what is outside the self is equally balanced and calm. With impeccability, compassion, and a determined heart, seek to calm the beasts within and attain balance without as well.

Turn and face the past to reconcile with it, not to resent or regret it. Every part of your life was and is significant, leading you forward to where you are now and where you need to go in the future. Everything is meaningful in some way.

Sometimes it takes years for the meaning of an event to reveal itself though the lessons of that event are being utilized daily. In facing the past, one retrieves the energy left behind so that the spirit may be reinvigorated and full of life every day going forward.

Sending you love,

Let your mind be free of fear and worry for only a minute so that you may experience the freedom that is naturally yours. In freedom from fear and worry the mind calms down and the body relaxes, loving kindness and compassion become natural states, and new habits develop based on a new set of parameters. A stark contrast between the old you and the new you is experienced and your understanding of your life and life in general expand your awareness. It takes some work but is a real possibility. A change in perspective on life and a ridding of old ideas is a good place to begin. You are much more than you think you are and you have the power to change.

Sending you love,
