Soulbyte for Thursday July 18, 2019

Don’t jump the gun. Practice patience throughout the day. Hold back what seeks to burst out of you until you are sure it is right. Sometimes a moment’s pause is all that is needed to thwart a lifetime of pain. Sometimes a few extra breaths are the answer to a moment of panic or anxiety. Sometimes just sitting still is the best solution to an urge to get up and run. In quiet patient waiting, things become clearer, things change, and a new perspective has the opportunity to reveal itself. Take a moment. Breathe. And then breathe again. Then decide a course of action. In patient waiting, let your heart decide.

Share the bounty. The desire for more, to accumulate merely to own, leads to imbalance. Instead, seek balance and modesty. Become a steward of the small and doable rather than seeking to possess for possession’s sake alone. There is no need for more than you can handle. In humble living comes satisfaction. In caring for little arrives abundance of pleasure. In having only what you need comes the energy to steward properly and with delight. Seek balance in everything you strive for, and maintain your little plot of the world, your place in it, so that all may enjoy the same pleasures as you yourself seek. To be in the Tao is to be right with everything, no matter the circumstances. Strive for that, to be right with what is, in each moment. And live with loving kindness for all beings in your heart. That is how to experience true joy and contentment.

A Message for Humanity from Jeanne: Protect Yourself


Nature provides protection, such as the furriness of a peach…

In our audio channeling this week we are advised to protect our energy from outside influences. It’s an especially appropriate message as the energy builds to a full moon tomorrow. Full moon energy can be very powerful, keeping us awake at night, leaving our energy depleted during the day, sending us to influential highs and devastating lows. Rather than getting attached to too much of the extremes, seek balance and stability instead by protecting your energy.

And have a wonderful week too!

The river of life flows through you. You are the light of the sun, the winds blowing, the oceans rocking, the moon shining, the mountains rising, the trees growing. You are life itself. Like the Earth beneath you, you are alive with energies, subtle and vibrant. Respect life within you and respect all life that surrounds you, that shares the planet with you, that supplies you with what you naturally need. Remember always that you are simply a part of it all, an instrument of the great experiment that is life. Live simply, with gratitude, respect, and love for all beings, human and nonhuman species alike, and for all that grows and keeps you alive. Take only what you need and leave only beauty behind you. In that will be a life well lived.

Take care of your body; take care of your Self. Find your equilibrium, that perfect balance where you feel right, within and without. This may mean confronting many things you’ve become attached to, things you think you need, things you think are important. But what’s really important? What truly sustains you, body and spirit? What truly gives you pleasure and what feed your spirit’s wishes and joys? Equilibrium comes when everything is in equal measure, everything flows perfectly, and everything feels right. Seek this perfect balance, within and without. Without finding fault, simply intend it. And then let your spirit guide you to what is right for your body and its own health, for your spirit does hold the key to knowing more than you can imagine. Work from within.
