There are variations and degrees of control necessary to successfully navigate life. Too much control leads to inhibitions and lack of participation in life while too little results in one calamity after another. Both can be equally devastating. Moderation and balance in all things, inner and outer, bring life and self into alignment. And then life proceeds along with a compatible and fulfilling steadiness so that no matter what comes to greet you, you are in a good energetic position to deal with it successfully.

When in the darkness do not fail to remember the light. When fast asleep do not fail to recall waking consciousness. When the mind is overtaken with worry, fear, or hopelessness do not forget the breath of release. Do not forget either that it’s all a dream. You are dreaming all the time. Don’t forget to wake up in the dream you are in and find its meaning. Day or night, awake or asleep, it’s all a dream. Time to wake up!

Upon arising each morning remind the self of the Middle Way and your own path of heart. Seek balance, moderation, and goodness in every step of your day, staying conscious of who you are and why you are there. Your presence on earth matters greatly. Discover the intention of your soul’s journey, finding meaning in each moment, each breath, each thought, each action. When you create your life around the principles of balance, moderation, and goodness you can’t go wrong.

Make compassion and generosity a daily habit. When the giving season has ended continue to give generously. It doesn’t matter why you give, but if you give from the heart it will matter greatly indeed!

-From the Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Somewhere, inside every human being, lies innocence, for it is born into the fiber of life, woven into the network of existence. Often forgotten, it nonetheless exists. It is needed now when compassion is also needed, for the two go hand-in-hand. True compassion for another being requires meeting with innocence. And innocence requires a peaceful playing field if it is to dare step up to the plate. Perhaps your innocence will dare come out to play today and give of itself. May innocence, peace, and compassion greet you in return, but even if not, stay present in your own innocence. It’s the gift that’s truly needed now.
