When you want something badly enough, you are willing to put up with some pain. Is this not true? “I want that new car. I will sacrifice this or that to afford it. I want a healthy body. I am willing to exercise it a bit harder to keep it [...]
Dare you strike out on your own, believing what feels right instead of what others tell you? This is a good policy if you have learned to differentiate the voices inside. How does it feel when you follow one voice over another? Always the body will guide you. Does it [...]
Blah, blah, blah. Is this not what you say when someone utters words repeatedly with little substance? Sit and listen for a while for the blah, blah, blah’ing going on incessantly in your mind. Of how much importance are the thoughts that so frequently take you away from the silence, [...]
The tiny ant crawls across your fingertips. You gaze at it in wonder. It has no idea that you exist. It has no idea that you watch over it. Were you to transport it suddenly from your fingertip to a new location, it would not know how it got there. [...]
Shared memories. These form a bond. When two or more have enjoyed the same experience, always are you connected. Through this experience, you lighted a circuit. You forged a link. Whether or not you remain in physical proximity, you will now always share a connection. It is the same whether [...]
Amidst the chaos there is peace. Is this not the goal? To find the center of the storm where calmness reigns, even though the winds swirl about? It is possible. You can travel in the eye of the storm and never get caught up in the commotion. Others step outside [...]
Surprisingly, beauty is found in what you might consider some of the ugliest places. Why does a flower bloom amid debris? For you cannot suppress Spirit. All arises from love, and what could be more beautiful? Spirit is ever trying to make its presence known. Even in the midst of [...]
Note from Suzanne: I am providing a photograph of a record player for those of you who have forgotten what they looked like (or those of you who have never seen one. Ha!)A record goes round and round on a turntable. It is the needle in the groove which produces [...]
It matters not what others think of you, only what you think of others. Do you see them with love or with judgment? Do you fear others’ reactions, words, and thoughts? If you have complete control over your own thoughts and actions, then nothing that others say, think, or do [...]
Note from Suzanne: A nice treat from Sanaya today to end the year--a poem, given to me non-stop to remind us all that we are not alone and are well looked after. May 2012 bring you much love and happiness and an ever greater connection with Spirit.Pick a penny off [...]
Note from Suzanne: I was stationed at the Pentagon the first time in 1995, working in the Navy section. There was a civilian man who wandered the halls every day handing out Werther’s candies to everyone he passed in the hallway on his lunch hour. It must have cost him [...]
Evil does exist in your world, but not in the form of a devil any more than God is in the form of a bearded man in the clouds. There is no horned being with a pitchfork, no dark, bearded man with a glint in his eye. Evil is the [...]
Grief is a process. This you know. It has certain stages. You cannot escape grief when you have lost one who is dear to you, and why would you want to? Yes, we know: because it feels so very awful. The pain at times seems unbearable. Do you not see [...]
The golden years. Why do you call them this? Gold is your most precious metal and holds much value. The golden years are a time to be treasured as well, for by this time you have unraveled many of the mysteries of this life you are living. The veil has [...]
On this day when so many gather to celebrate joy and love together, there will nevertheless be strife. “Interpersonal conflict” you call this, and it is quite common in your world. Today, on this day when you celebrate the birth of one who understood spiritual Truth, we advise you to [...]
Forsake no other for the sake of yourself. What you withhold from another you withhold from yourself. You look through human eyes and see the eyes of another. See instead the eyes of the spirit in all that you see. In the eyes of a baby you see innocence. In [...]
Your expectations cause you angst. You think you know exactly how something should turn out. You place upon a situation and upon other people all of your “shoulds.” And do not others place their “shoulds” upon you as well? What if these “shoulds” should conflict? Then you will surely encounter [...]
You look for figures in the clouds … discernable shapes which you can identify and say, “Look at that! The cloud has formed an object. It is a sign!” We have many means of giving you signs that you are not alone. You have accepted the group belief that life [...]
NOTE FROM SUZANNE: THE FOLLOWING IS NOT FROM SANAYA. THIS IS A WONDERFUL STORY GIVEN TO ME BY MY FRIEND, NITA. WE DO NOT KNOW THE SOURCE OF THIS THOUGHT-PROVOKING ALLEGORY, BUT IT'S TOO GREAT NOT TO SHARE. ENJOY, THEN COME BACK AND ENJOY SANAYA WITH ME EACH MORNING:Once upon [...]
Push fear aside. It is a human emotion. Fear is the opposite of love. You are here to return to Love by experiencing its opposite. Have you experienced it enough? You feel a pang of fear at the thought of going Home. “My work is not done here,” you think, [...]
Many a human has made a poor decision. Not all choices made are in one’s best interest. Some cling to their decisions as if they were belongings which must be protected at all costs. In doing so, the cost grows. Life is about change and growth. It is quite all [...]
Your Source is not separate from you, but It is larger than you. Feel It settle in your heart, this presence, this Christ Consciousness, this knowing that God is not a being, that God is “being,” itself. Can you worship that? You need not worship at all. Simply participate in [...]
Note from Suzanne: This past week I faced a couple of big interpersonal challenges. The sun is back out today. This morning Sanaya spoke directly to me at first, and then to all of us …Do you not see that what you perceived as some of the best messages came [...]
See with new eyes. This is the remedy for when you experience discomfort. If you are unhappy or less than joyful, if your thoughts constantly return to something that makes you uncomfortable, a mere shift in perception will cure your ills. It is quite easy to get stuck in [...]
Conflict arises when two or more do not see eye to eye. You have different ways of approaching the same goal. One wishes to go in one direction, the other in another. Oft times there is confusion about the destination itself. The more you diverge, the more negativity surrounds the [...]
You have an expression, “Do not waste your breath.” To you this means to try fruitlessly to defend yourself. This is good advice. What purpose does it do to state your case? Does it matter if one is right and another wrong? What if both are right in their own [...]
“You cannot win.” Another of your sayings. What is “winning?” It is when you can beat the chest and say, “Do you see? I am victorious. I was right. I caused the other to admit defeat.” Is that truly winning? What have you won, other than a momentary satisfaction of [...]
