The holidays are a time for celebration, for gathering together, but what if you do not feel like doing either?  Most likely something in your life has changed.  Then why don’t you change your holiday routine?  Life is about change.  When life changes and you do not, then suffering occurs.  [...]

Collaboration.  You achieve so much more when you combine your talents and energies with others of like mind and heart.  This may seem self-evident, but are you applying this wisdom?  You ask, “What is my purpose?” and others have been put in your path in answer to your question.  Have [...]

When you weather a storm, afterwards you may feel a bit battered and tattered.  Rest.  Hopefully, you know what you have learned and what you have gained.  “Gained?” you ask.  Yes, even if a few trees were knocked down and the power flickered for a while, space has been cleared.  [...]

Hello Everyone, I did not get a message from Sanaya in meditation this morning.  They told me that would happen from time to time!  For a little inspiration today, please enjoy this 3-minute video I posted today on Youtube--a short story I shared in last night's monthly mentoring webinar:  https://youtu.be/7iNyc8vdJUo With [...]

When you feel the need to justify your words or actions, pause.  Shift your awareness to the heart.  From where comes this need?  Why are you defensive?  If, in checking with your heart, you feel no need to justify, then do not do so.  If you continue to feel the [...]

When you become so immersed in your story—the human drama that is playing out around you—that you are unable to feel your connection with the higher realms, you make it more difficult for your guides to reach you as well.  You can call on us, but if you are doing [...]

Tenderness.  Do you not appreciate this?  What is inherent in tenderness is love, carried by the softest of words, the softest touch, the softest gaze.  You so seldom slow down in your busy lives that life can feel harsh.  Tenderness is slow and gentle.  Be tender with yourself.  Slow down.  [...]

This is the day the Lord hath made.  If these words sound a bit heavy to you, perhaps you will resonate with these: “This is the day that Love has created.”  Look around you.  Find a bit of beauty.  More than likely you will find it in nature, for where [...]

Life is a process, and it is ongoing.  You are here for the evolution of the soul.  And how does the soul evolve?  Through your choices as a human.  Your choices support the soul.  You are both human and soul.  The soul depends upon you to listen to its nudges.  [...]

When another slings words that hurt you, they are doing so out of ignorance.  “Oh no,” you say, “they knew exactly what they were saying.”  Hear us well:  Any time one human hurts another, they do so out of ignorance that they are also hurting themself.  How can one finger [...]

What is the root of resentment?  The answer is quite simple:  pain.  And it quite often has nothing to do with the person who is being resented.   “Oh, she thinks she’s so pretty.”  “He thinks he’s so smart.”  Does it matter what the other thinks or if they are truly [...]

We have earlier likened your path to a balance beam.  Today we take you to the end of that beam, which in a way you reach with every step, for your path is always laid out before you.  Yes, certain lessons have been agreed upon.  Yes, you will have alternate [...]

You look in the mirror and see the same reflection looking back at you as always.  But wait.  Something stands out and draws your attention unlike each other time.  Perhaps it is a blemish.  Perhaps it is hair that stands up.  Whatever it is that stands up or stands out, [...]

If you are walking on a balance beam, how do you maintain your balance?  Do you have to think, “Lean right, now lean left”?  No.  There is innate wisdom within.  Your task is to remain focused on the objective and let that Wisdom do its work.  Should you lose your [...]

The ones who are in the most pain are the ones who bark the loudest.  Pain has many causes and it manifests in many ways, not always with crying.  It shows up as impatience, frustration, and of course anger.  Be patient with yourself and others when they display pain in [...]

Share.  Share what you know.  Share what you have.  Share who you are.  Why would you keep anything to yourself?  It is only fear that guards.  Let loose!  Spew your love!  In the spirit world there are no secrets.  All is known for nothing can be hidden.  And why hide?  [...]

What causes frustration?  When you have ideas of how a thing will act, unfold, turn out, and so forth, and it fails to do so according to your ideas.  “But, but . . . it was supposed to . . . he, she, it, you are supposed to . . [...]

Do not berate yourself for being human and doing human things.  Do you not see?  The fact that you find something to berate means that you are observing your behaviors from the viewpoint of an observer.  What does this tell you?  There is no fixed perspective.  It is the human [...]

Lick your wounds if you must, and then move on.  What did you learn through that wound?  Do you think you will repeat the same mistake?  In that case, do not move on.  In most cases, wounds serve their purpose.  Please do not aggravate them by fussing with them.  That [...]

When things don’t go according to plan, how do you react?  Do you kick and scream like a petulant child?  Perhaps this is one time when you are not advised to “be as the child.”  This is learned behavior, this kicking, screaming, and rebelling against what is.  Go back to [...]

Do you insist on silence when you “sit in the silence”?  What a funny question.  This term, of course, is another way to speak of meditation.  Must the space in which you sit be free of distractions?  It is preferable, but at times challenging to achieve.  A dog barks.  A [...]

By grace, effort, or whatever means you are healed of a past disturbance in your energetic field. A blockage was removed, a lack was filled with what was missing in awareness. Now what do you do? You keep your focus on the present. You live in this new way of [...]

When someone lashes out at you, if you know in your heart that your words or actions have not been hurtful, know that the other is projecting their own pain.  Arguing with them or defending your words and actions may well fall upon deaf ears, depending upon the thickness of [...]

You gather round the table.  A time to celebrate they say. But you are feeling naught but sadness on this day. The family’s not the same this year as holidays gone by. “How can I be happy?  To smile would be a lie.” Those you love may not be seen, [...]

There is a tremendous difference in vibration between wanting a thing so badly that it hurts and knowing that a thing may well happen as you co-create it with your higher self.  The human side of you may wish for impossible things, such as turning back the clock.  The spirit [...]

Catch your lower thoughts.  What are these?  Any that speak of anything less than love.  Any that tell you that you are “less than.”  Any that say another is “less than.”  Are these the majority of your thoughts?  Then we have some work to do.  Why?  For you have fallen [...]

Love bottled up.  Have you ever felt this?  It bubbles up inside of you and needs to be released, needs to be shared.  This is how you were in the beginning—one big potential of Love . . . a great, bottomless well of love with seemingly nowhere to go.  And [...]

Can you look upon those on your television screen and judge not?  Can you simply observe?  The ego wants you to laugh with derision at those you deem lesser or to feel inferior to one who appears to have more.  Neither is true at the level of the soul where [...]
