Things change. People leave; new people arrive. Life unfolds and it seems that times of turmoil and sadness will never end. When you get into this kind of slump, turn to your inner practice. Sit quietly with your heart open, your breath calm. Put your thoughts aside and ask for the blessing of this peaceful moment to wash over you and abide with you for the rest of the day. No matter what you have on your agenda for the day you have the power to self-regulate and maintain calmness within. It’s only if you get attached to something outside of you that you will lose that special inner contact. Remain attached within, even as you encounter what brews without, and all will be well.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Engage your energy honing wisdom more frequently now, as you deem appropriate. Everyone will have their own personal challenges but as you learn how to regulate your central nervous system, with all the ideas you have been presented with, and as you learn how to maintain a harmonious nature for longer and longer periods, you will begin to notice that disharmony and dysregulation are less frequent flyers in your energy field. Keep your energy field attuned to harmony and you will begin to feel the effects of all the hard work you have been doing on yourself, and you will more than reap the benefits. You will feel at peace, and you will know that that peace came only from within. And that is good.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Allow yourself to be quiet for several minutes at a time on this day, no matter what comes to stir you up, to grab your attention, or to throw you off your game. Your rightful place in the Universe is as a being of kindness, love and compassion. You have within you the ability to achieve such heightened states of awareness, consciously, at any time. You hold all the power and strength you need to keep your body, mind, emotions and spirit honed and alert. Self-regulation is the key. With all the tools you have at your disposal, the main one is self-awareness, so that you can catch yourself before you fall back into an old way of being. Keep catching yourself throughout the day today, practicing and honing your inner powers of attention, reflection, and centering.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

How is it that time seems to stand still when you are busy doing something you love or something that takes all of your attention? Have you noticed how time ceases when your mind is off yourself, off your worries, and off your personal tragedies? With the mind occupied elsewhere, time ceases and all that time carries with it ceases as well. Busyness is one of the best ways to absent the mind of its worry. Take your mind off yourself for a while and see what happens. You might discover that everything you think and feel about yourself disappears. You might have to question if they were ever real to begin with? Thoughts do have great power of persuasion, both good and bad.

Sending you love,

Forget your worries for another day, they will always be there when you think of them, but give yourself permission to forget about them. Think instead of all the things that make you happy, all the things that you are grateful for, all the things that bring a smile to your face and a lightness to your heart. Surely there are more things than you know. Is not just the sun shining on the windowsill something to be grateful for? Is not the chirping of birds something to be cheerful about? Is not the fact that you have made it this far in life enough to be thankful for? Is it not wonderful to breathe, to smile, to sit in the stillness of the morning, or the evening, and drink in the wonders of a day to begin or a day gone by? Think on these positive thoughts throughout the day, between morning and evening, whenever worry slips in. Turn your face from worry and remember the sun on the windowsill that brought you a moment of joy.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
