Can you live fearlessly?  How badly do you want to?  Fearless living requires first and foremost understanding you are spirit first and foremost and that that aspect of you which is spirit cannot be harmed.  It lives on forever.  No bullets, no arrows, no bears, no words, no knives, no car [...]

Shadows of your former self continue to appear.  How to banish them?  Shine your light ever brighter.  When there is bright light from directly above there can be no shadows around or within you.  When you, in turn, shine your light brightly in all directions, you help to dispel the [...]

Zero defects.  Is this not a goal in some of your corporations?  Is this a reachable goal?  Not when you are referring to the human being, but how do you define a defect?  The word carries a negative connotation.  One cannot help but judge that which is labeled a defect [...]

It matters not who you were, but who you are now.  Yes, you may have had incidents in the past that shaped who you are now, but the only question that matters now is who you are now.  Are you happy with that person?  Are you in touch with the [...]

When one has a fever, you dab the forehead with a cool, damp sponge.  The opposite of heat is cold, and thus you bring the fever down.  When one has a fever, you do not make them more hot.  And so, we ask you to pay attention when one you [...]

Connection.  It is all important.  The healing touch of a hand on a shoulder does wonders.  A soft caress for no apparent reason speaks volumes.  Do not send love merely with the eyes or a kind word.  These are healing in themselves, but in a human world where most fail [...]

Oh, what you can learn when you listen.  What is your body telling you?  If it had a voice, it would speak loudly.  That ache, that pain, that dizzy spell ... There is a loud message there for you.  Do not cover it up with a Band-Aid.  Listen and ask, [...]

Soldier on.  Do not give up.  Yes, it is quite acceptable to curl up in a ball, retreating from the world for a while.  We understand why at times you do not wish to open your eyes again.  Repeat after us, “This is not who I am.  This is not [...]

Excitable … that is what you call one who reacts with great swings upward in the face of events.  Picture a pot of boiling water that simmers.  Turn up the heat and the bubbles boil with great fervor.  Do you boil and pop when the heat is turned up?  It [...]

Into every life come challenges.  Were it not so, there would be no point in being human.  How you handle them is the test—the test of being human.  You cannot stay here forever.  The human body is a beautiful instrument, but it does break down.  At times this is intentional, [...]

What is sanity?  Thinking and behaving as others do, within a set of norms.  What happens when one thinks outside of these parameters?  “They are off in their own little world,” you say, and this is labeled insanity.  Most definitely, if one acts and thinks in a way which causes [...]

You want to charge off and change the world.  Can you do it in one day?  It took Someone else seven days to create it.  Relax.  You have a lifetime and then some to change just one person, and you are that one.  As you change, so do those around [...]

Copycats.  At times you ridicule those who imitate another.  Is not imitation a sign of flattery?  Choose your examples carefully.  What behavior do you wish to mimic?  It is far too easy to be a copycat in a world where violence and anger prevail.  Choose a model who stands out [...]

When you gaze upon a mountain, that is how much you are loved.  When you see a beautiful flower or hear the most melodious song, that is how much you are loved.  When you behold a newborn child and your heart opens wide, that is how much you are loved.  [...]

There is no dress rehearsal.  There is only the performance.  “But what if I mess up my lines?”  Then you have a choice:  You can slink off stage and sit behind the curtain as the play goes on without you, or you can hold your head high and realize that [...]

You live in an orderly universe.  Your planets follow orderly, predictable paths.  The sun always rises and sets.  Where there is seeming chaos in nature, there is actually an underlying order.  Study your fractals and you will understand this.  At a personal level, you may experience chaos in your life, [...]

A reader asks, “The more I give, the more I'm expected to give, it seems. I don't like these feelings of resentment, but, I too, need to feel love from others that's truly just love being given with nothing asked in return. Does Sanaya have words to address this?”  Sanaya [...]

A woman writes:  I am just losing faith by the minute watching two of my friends in Hospice die.  As a child in church they taught us that God was omnipotent, loving and created each of us the way we were supposed to be. We are not created equal. Some [...]

Does a parent give a child everything it wants?  If so, how does the child learn?  If not, what is the reason?  It is for the child’s growth and learning, or as you say, “For their own good.”  Do you get everything you pray for?  Why do you think this [...]

Comment from Suzanne:  It appears Sanaya is responding today to a comment from a follower who asked (in response to yesterday's post "Unlimited"), “What is the difference between opening up to the greatest possible outcome and fantasy?”  Sanaya says: What is fantasy?  Imagining things beyond what most humans would consider realistic.  [...]

Expectations … they can be enjoyable, but they can also lead to disappointment, can they not?  What if you had no expectations?  What if you simply set an intention for the greatest possible outcome resulting in the greatest possible good for all?  What if you then sat back and allowed [...]
