When another angers you or does something that you think they should not do, how do you respond?  If you respond with anger, which is a natural and understandable human reaction, you are not likely to achieve a desirable outcome, and if you do, you will have stymied an even [...]

Enthusiasm … the roots of this word mean “in God.”  When you are filled with the Spirit, which you are at all times, but in this case are now with the awareness of Spirit at work, you feel more alive, more awake, more energetic, as if you could take on [...]

When cells in the body fight each other you call it a cancer.  The cells are no longer harmonious, but are working against the whole.  What caused this challenge in the first place?  Disharmony – a lack of awareness amongst the very cells of the body that they all serve [...]

“I long to be free of the chains that bind me” (A quote from Wolf Pasakarnis’ artwork).  And what are those chains?  The trappings of the ego … those thoughts that hold you prisoner in thinking that you are limited or fixed into position in your body.  In fact, you [...]

Note from Suzanne:  I had no idea last night when I sat to write a blog entry about group consciousness that hours later it would become quite relevant in light of current events.  Of course Spirit knew ... Here's a follower's comment from my Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/SuzanneGiesemann :  "Relevant as Ferguson protests [...]

Note from Suzanne:  I was so moved by a comment about yesterday's message from Sanaya (http://www.suzannegiesemannblog2.blogspot.com/2014/11/on-inside.html ) on my Facebook page from Lynette Setzkorn that I am reposting it here:  "When my father was in the very late stages of dementia at the end of his life, and could barely speak, he [...]

Who are you on the inside?  Are you the body which you see in the mirror?  That body has changed over the years, has it not?  You may be wiser and have learned a thing or two, but the you who gazes in the mirror is the same.  That is [...]

And so you find yourself in a situation that is uncomfortable.  The vibrations around you are quite in dissonance with your own.  Always you have a choice.  You can get up and leave, but in keeping with human decorum, this would cause discomfort for those around you.  What to do?  [...]

There are no shortcuts in this process of awakening.  You must do the hard work.  This is why so many are content to remain in slumber.  And what is the hard work?  Facing your fears, feeling your tears, digging through the years when you were not willing to take a [...]

You are royalty.  What if all of you knew this?  There would be some who would let it go to their heads, claiming that they are deserving of special treatment.  Then there would be the few who understood that with this comes responsibility.  And what is that responsibility?  To lead [...]

There is always more than one way to do a thing, more than one way to respond.  The challenge occurs when you become locked into habitual patterns.  It is human nature to then defend your way of doing something so that when another proposes a different way, at times this [...]

Defensiveness … What is its origin?  Ego.  Always the ego tries to protect itself, and it does this by giving you the illusion of separation from others.  There is only the separation of individual traits.  At your essence there is only Consciousness.  Consciousness is Love.  Anything less than that reveals [...]

Many thanks to my assistant, Bev, for posting all of the available transcripts and recordings from the 2013 sessions with Sanaya on my website (under the Sanaya tab - "Special Sessions with Sanaya"):  https://awakenedway.suzannegiesemann.com/sanayasessions/  The next session will be in Oxford, FL, at Temple Shalom on December 7th at 7 [...]

Emotions serve a purpose.  Caused by your thoughts in the first place, emotions then cause the body to secrete certain hormones dependent upon the emotion.  These hormones then cause what you call a “feeling” within the physical body.  At times these feelings are pleasurable; at times distasteful.  No matter whether [...]

If you cannot love yourself, then when others who have shown you love are no longer present, the pain in your heart will be quite acute – more so than the losses that all experience as a part of normal human life.  This is a sign.  That pain is telling [...]

There is a difference between being told what to believe and thinking for yourself.  A test you can try is to ask yourself if you experience fear at the thought of not believing.  Many of you would like to believe in a greater reality.  You would like to believe that [...]

No one can do the heavy lifting for you.  Being human is easy.  You simply follow the crowd.  Being an awakened human may be a bit more challenging.  Once awakened, it is no longer so easy to follow along and to think as those who remain ignorant to a greater [...]

You have your earthly body for a reason.  Use it.  Take care of it.  It is the vessel, the container, for the Light that you are.  Do not disdain this vessel.  It has much to teach you.  There is a reason you are in human form at this time in [...]

Note from Suzanne:  Do you know someone in need of healing?  Be an angel (the meaning of which is "messenger") like the therapist mentioned in this comment just received at www.post.com: "Every morning begins with Sanaya Says. I am so grateful to you (and my therapist who suggested I read your [...]

Is this as good as it gets?  Is this all there is?  Of course not.  The fact that you are asking is indicative of more.  The soul knows. There is a far greater reality connected with this physical experience and many greater realities beyond that, some with no connection whatsoever [...]

Fundamentals … the basic lessons you learn as children in your primary schools before you move on to the more advanced topics.  It is like anything in life:  You must crawl before you walk and walk before you run.  You wish to be enlightened and to awaken fully to the [...]

You are told to look for the silver lining.  What causes this effect?  The sun shines from behind a dark cloud, showing you with its luminous rays that even in the face of obstacles the Light is still there.  It catches your attention and you are drawn to it.  All [...]

There are many layers to every story … subplots running through a single theme.  Many characters come into play, coming and going for a reason.  In a well-crafted story, there are no extraneous characters—all serve a purpose, and so it is with the characters in your life.  Even those you [...]

You will always emerge stronger from your challenges.  Yes, you may feel as if you descend to the depths of despair, but from the firm bottom you bounce back even higher.  If you always stay on even ground, there is little growth.  It is by experiencing diversity that you learn.  [...]

What place does fear hold in your life?  A front seat, back seat, or ever shifting?  For most humans fear is ever-present in your vehicle, but you remain oblivious to this passenger.  He takes up unnecessary room and adds weight you do not need, making your ride through life a [...]
