When tensions arise, reground yourself by actually putting your feet on the ground and feeling the energy of the Earth. Reconnect yourself to that grounding Mother. Let yourself be held in her grip for more than just a second, and feel how she supports and nurtures you. Let yourself be in her energy long enough to find that you also have her grounding ability within yourself. Let yourself admit that you have this within at all times. You always have the energy to shift yourself out of one place into another, out of one mood and into another. You have, at all times, within yourself, the ability to ground and nurture. When you ground yourself, you help the whole world get more grounded too.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

No Blame. It’s nobody’s fault. You might ask: How did we get here? But maybe that’s not the right question. Maybe the right question is: Where are we going? The openness of that question takes blame away, takes fear away, takes feelings of sadness and sorrow away. For wondering where we are going opens a window to wonder, to anticipation, to adventure. Look forward to something new now. Something unexpected. Something unknown. Look forward to the calm after the storm, to the peace you know exists at the root of everything and everyone. Look forward to the necessary change, that even you who feel so sad know is inevitable, and so necessary. When a dam fills too high, it overflows; when a river rises beyond its banks, it floods over the riverbanks; when a pot of water reaches boiling point, it boils over. So is it with everything. When the maximum of tension has been reached there must be an opening to relieve the pressure. That is where the world is now.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Underneath it all, under the mysteries of life, under the larger questions that overshadow life, under the frustrations at not knowing for sure what life is all about, lies the Eternal Self who has all the answers. This Eternal Self is waiting for you, right now, not in the future or in some other life, but now, waiting for you to ask the right question, the one only you can ask. What is the one question you feel you want to know the answer to? What is the one thing that keeps you stuck and unable to move into the greatness that you are fully capable of becoming? What is it that holds you in its grip? The answer is waiting for you, but you have to ask the right question first. And then you have to get out of your own way and let the answer hit you over the head so that there is no doubt about it. You might find that you don’t like the answer, but deep down inside you will know that it’s exactly right. Ask the right question, get the right answer.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

We speak often of finding a connection to who you truly are. To some people this may be clear, for they have felt and expressed this self at many different times in their life. To others this may sound like gibberish, never having sensed it or felt it at all. But none of that really matters. The main thing that matters is to realize that you are more than a physical being with a brain, a body, and a pile of thoughts and emotions. You are a spiritual being with spiritual energy that far exceeds anything you can experience in the substance that you call your physical body. Your spiritual self has been trying to get you to understand this, to see this in the little and big nudges it gives you every day of your life, in the little and big saves it has performed on you, in the little and big thoughts it has superimposed over your habitual thoughts. Start to get curious about the possibility that what we are saying is true. Open your heart and your mind to something greater, not greater than you, but to the greater you that you truly are!

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

As you allow yourself to slow down, to withdraw from the competitive world you live in daily, with its judgments, criticisms, jealousies, rages and uglinesses, notice how unimportant all that becomes. Notice how things begin to shift inside you into a more balanced and natural state. The true natural state of human existence is the state of loving kindness, compassion and love. As you allow this natural state to grow more prominent inside you, to fully embody your body and mind, you will begin to notice how truly natural it feels to let this divine substance of your Eternal Self be present, guiding and teaching you every day. Life is not meant to be too complicated. It’s the lack of connection to your Eternal Self that blocks your access to who you truly are and who you truly can be in the world you live in. Within and without, your Eternal self is your true self, and it’s divine in more ways than one. Don’t be afraid of it. It’s just YOU.

All our love,
