Jean Skeels: Empowerment, Authenticity, Growth

Coaching and practices for mind, body, spirit.

I help people connect to their own power and wisdom and give them tools to live their lives fully and authentically through all the different chapters, experiences, and changes that we meet on this path.

Sunday blessing.

I keep coming back to practicing and talking about gratitude as a force of healing and faith.

I have found no practice or prayer as immediately transforming and powerful as shifting my awareness and energy towards gratitude.

When we are being constantly bombarded with messages about conflict, upset, and problems, and our personal lives are also certainly sometimes hard, and there is pain, suffering, and grief, I think the heaviness of all that can become crushing and depressive.

Gratitude is an easy shift. We all have something to be grateful for. Even if it is just that we have breath and life flowing through us right now. If we have someone who loves us or we love someone. The sun in the sky. Beauty wherever it is.

Thank you.

I did a short podcast on gratitude. Link in the comments.

A message for your Monday.

Prioritizing inner peace is the most important self care action you can take.

If everything else is going well, but you are filled with inner turmoil and conflict then those other things are very diminished in value.

Inner peace is something I have found difficult to get to, and honestly, I have to work on it every day, and it slips away so easily. Returning to gratitude, taking time to breathe, going outside in the beauty of nature, doing my spiritual practice, moving my body, connecting with people I love are all ways I build and come back to inner peace.

Have a beautiful beginning of this day and this week.

With love.

Sunday blessing.

Know that you matter. Everything is energy and the energy you bring to even the smallest and simplest of things ripples out from you, like notes of birdsong ring out in the morning.

Make your energy kind and loving as much and as often as you can. Make a beautiful song.

With love.

Also I started a new podcast focused on the quest for faith. Link in comments.

Feedback and requests for topics or prayers to share are welcome.

A message for your Monday.

Build a loving and caring relationship with yourself. Take time to be with yourself. Speak to yourself with kindness and encouragement.

Make this a daily practice and watch your life transform beautifully.

With love.

A message for your Monday.

Your true work in life is to know and be yourself.

Your true work is to love who you are and bring what you love to life.

You are singular and precious. Listen deeply in your heart for what it longs to speak to you and through you.

Don't rush your listening. Give it time and space.

Set down anything that doesn't match or move the song of your heart whenever you can.

It is better to be imperfectly you than to cheat yourself and the world of the gift you are here to be.

With love.

Sunday blessing.

Every day is an opportunity to create a piece of life, a small story within a larger one. Not every day will be easy, difficulties are part of life, but how we choose to be with those things is our power. Focusing on the goodness of just being here, opening to grace, awakening to gratitude, and loving as best as we can, that is an empowered life.

I wish that for all of us.

With love.

Sunday blessing.

Finding contentment in the small simple things in each day is a beautiful healing practice. It is what inspired my personal mantra I share here so often...Beauty Is.

Beauty is always there just waiting for us to see its presence. If we open our eyes to beauty we will receive it.

Be a beauty seeker today and you will discover it everywhere.

With love.

A message for your Monday.

Something we often say in yoga is "What you resist persists."

When we can relax into acceptance and contentment with ourselves as we are, that relaxation makes room for us to stretch and grow both internally and out in the world.

We should have high standards for ourselves, but those standards should be deeply rooted in gratitude and appreciation for the person we are here to be.

There is only one you, just be that fully and with love.

06/09/2025

A message for your Monday.

Start today and every day with conscious breathing and presence.

You can return to your breath and your inner peace anytime, it is a habit to build.

Begin right now. Take some full, slow, even breaths. Be here with yourself right now. Take this energy into your day.

Work with me. I am here to support you as you open and become more powerful and peaceful by being more of yourself. https://jeanskeels.com/

Sunday blessing.

Becoming all you are meant to be takes time. It is also nourishing to pause often to be grateful, to savor and appreciate life, instead of rushing through everything.

Breathe deeply, feel fully, become at your own beautiful pace.

With love.
