Note from Suzanne:  Today’s message came after I caught the old “monkey mind” chattering away during meditation.   Sanaya's words apply, as always, to so many situations we face throughout the day. Distractions abound.  What is a distraction, but anything that takes your mind away from its intended focus.  Even those [...]

When you go along with the crowd all of the time, you can get lost in there.  The view from the middle of the flock is only of the other sheep.  Venture to the edges and the view changes.  Slip outside the fence for a bit of fun.  You may [...]

And so, one person pays you attention and they are a person with power, or position, or wealth.  And so, you beam.  Why is this person of any greater importance to you than any other?  The ego would have you think that such attention makes you greater, more powerful as [...]

When you see one who carries more weight than the body was designed to carry, know that they carry a burden much greater than the physical one.  It is a visible sign of a lack of alignment with the true nature.  View that being not with judgment, but with great [...]

Who is in charge here?  Is it you or is it a joint effort?  Who would be the one pulling your strings?  Does it matter what you call the Guiding Force that gives you life?  Not at all.  What matters is that you realize you never act alone.  Yes, you [...]

What are your priorities?  When they are in order, everything will get done in perfect order.  “But I must do this or that!” you think.  When you hear yourself say these words, stop and assess your priorities.  Is love and connection at the top of the list?  Perhaps that is [...]

Balance and alignment.  You do this on a regular basis to your car, do you not?  If you fail to do this, the car wobbles and does not ride efficiently.  How do you balance the self?  Listen to your thoughts.  Are you in alignment with your highest nature?  How do [...]

When you are harried or rushed, life can easily pass you by.  What does this mean?  Life is ongoing all around you in this now-moment.  Imagine yourself in a car.  The illusion is that you are moving past the scenery—going, going, going here and there, when in fact, in every [...]

When one with whom you commune does not see or think or act your way, do not try to sway them.  Allow them to be as they are.  It is not your task to change anyone.  Don’t you have enough of a challenge dealing with your own Little Voice?  Keep [...]

Interdependence … this applies to you more than you know.  It becomes so easy to think you can survive on your own, but do not let that thought overtake your purpose (to be the presence of Love).  Were it not for your parents, you would not be here.  Were it [...]

Love and fear.  Love and fear.  They are circular when you are in human form.  You experience love, and when the feeling goes away, you feel fear that you will never have that feeling again.  Then you come back to a place of love.  On and on goes this cycle [...]

Do you know why slow, deep breathing helps you to calm down and find peace?  Of course there are the physiologic effects, but what of the spiritual?  When you inhale deeply, the focus of the mind goes to the location within the body where expansion is occurring.  And look!  What [...]

Cleanse, cleanse, cleanse.  You take a shower every day to clean the physical body, yet what do you do to clean the energetic body?  And suddenly you find yourself out of sorts and you don’t know why?  Why, it’s very simple:  your energetic body is gunked up.  There are methods of [...]

Return to your roots.  We are not speaking of your earthly ancestry, but the aspect of you that arises from Spirit.  If you like the analogy, picture a great and mighty tree, full of wisdom.  All humans are but leaves on that tree.  You gather on various branches and give [...]

Life is good.  You put this on your t-shirts, and it is Truth.  When you have this as your fundamental belief, goodness flows.  Anything less than goodness is simply a thought system in need of correction, and the basic goodness of the Universe will ensure that the correction is made.  [...]

Yes, that song you heard was a sign.  “But how could it have played just for me?” you wonder when millions of others listening to the same station heard it, too, or it was going to play anyway in the queue?  Ah, but you noticed the words, didn’t you?  Why [...]

Would you like to be an instrument of God?  Which one?  There are many choices.  You can be a tuba and play loudly, or a delicate flute and play soft and sweet.  You can be a trumpet and blare your message so that all pay attention.  In each case, as [...]

When you are little, you enjoy fantasies of fairy godmothers who sprinkle fairy dust with their magic wands and make miracles happen.  And then what happens?  You grow up, and you put on your suit, and carry your briefcase, and fall into lock-step with the others who no longer talk [...]

Now today we speak of triangles.  You have so many 3’s in your world, and 3 is a magical number.  Body, mind, and spirit; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Three is stable.  You can choose sides in a triangle, but the most powerful point, as in any shape, is at [...]

Think outside the box.  That is your greatest lesson.  Do not be normal.  Do not follow the crowd.  They will lead you right back into the box.  Think in terms of no terms.  Try new ideas and concepts, and by “new” we mean something that others would not have ever [...]

 All in good time.  All in good time.  What is your hurry?  Are you not enjoying this moment now?  If not, then stop and ask yourself, “Why not?”  There is a reason that what you want so badly is not here right now.  It is all in perfect order, my [...]

When you stretch something to make it fit, it feels uncomfortable, does it not?  The same is true whether you speak of clothing, circumstances, or words.  Stretching can be a good thing if it causes growth.  Simply be aware of your emotions as you stretch anything and always be true [...]

This is going to be fun, you think and there you are right.  Buckle your seatbelt and get ready for the ride.  The ride of your life?  Yes, that is what you could call it.  And yes, at times it is like a roller coaster.  Think of your life in [...]

You are really just a puddle of water.  Did you know that?  We do not mean this literally, but certainly you are not as solid as you seem.  Can you allow yourself to melt into that puddle?  What happens now in your liquefied state?  Why, now you can flow.  Where [...]

Your heart’s on fire.  What does that mean?  When the light that burns in all of you like a pilot light that never goes out suddenly turns up, you feel it.  You are suddenly filled with overwhelming joy, but not joy based on some ephemeral human experience that will come [...]
