So you think you have no time to meditate.  We know your human lives are quite full, which is exactly why just a few minutes of emptying the mind and focusing on the heart is in order.  Do you often feel overwhelmed?  Give yourself a time-out … five minutes to [...]

Why are you so hard on yourself?  Who told you that you had to work so hard?  “Life is hard,” you say.  Go inside, my friend.  Now.  Just stop for a moment, breathe slowly, and sink within.  Keep going.  Keep going.  You are almost there.  Sink a bit deeper.  Now.  [...]

When you make yourself available as spirit’s servant, miracles happen.  Do not offer yourself only for this reason, if doing so would be self-serving.  When you wish only to serve the greater good, then all benefit, including the self.  A miracle is when the two worlds—the human and spirit worlds—come [...]

What is a conscious life?  What is a life well lived?  They are one and the same.  When you live consciously, you do not simply respond to people and events automatically from human programming.  You pause just long enough to remember you are spirit—a soul, intimately connected to all that [...]

“Do no harm.”  May this be your mantra.  “Oh, but I would never hurt another!” you say, but we speak not just of hurting another.  Your anger towards and judgment of another does harm, indeed, but your self-criticism does so as well.  Your thoughts of shame and guilt do far [...]

You behold a wax figure in a museum and you say, “That looks just like them!  It is amazing!”  That one figure—a moment captured in time—holds memories and history and meaning.  Before your eye flashes a lifetime of what that figure meant to you in your lifetime.  It is not [...]

“Who won?” you ask after a debate.  Who did the better job?  And then you judge.  You do so by comparing many attributes:  language, restraint, demeanor, appearance, wisdom, and all of these add up to one opinion.  But do you know that you could skip all of those details and [...]

Note from Suzanne: Excellent advice on the day of a major political debate. Thank you, Sanaya. Once a human sees the dark side of a person it is quite easy to continue seeing those aspects. You form an opinion, and the brain is programmed such that it will seek matching [...]

When you shift your awareness from the level of separation, which you would understand as the human world, to the level of unity, which you would understand as the spirit world, it is a change of perspective.  You can still feel the physical body, but the two worlds are merged [...]

When you love to do something and you do it well, could this be your purpose in life? There is a third aspect to determining one’s path, and that is motive. Does doing this thing that brings you pleasure serve only the self, or in some way does it help [...]

In the past we have advised you to look upon another and see the Source within them.   As you do so, we have advised you to mentally say with delight, “There You are!” as you behold the Beloved, no matter how far the human upon whom you gaze feels to [...]

Why do you allow yourself to be pushed into something you have no desire to do?  Could it be the need to please?  The need to be loved?  You are so very loved in every moment.  If you felt that from the inside out, truly felt it, could you say [...]

You would be quite amazed at what you can accomplish when you can get the ego out of the way.  We are speaking now not just of the prideful aspects of you, but any qualities that are part and parcel of the human vs. the eternal aspects of you, the [...]

“The promise of another day” is a phrase you know.  Why does a new day hold promise?  For each time the sun comes up you view it as a cycle, and the new day represents a fresh start.  If things have not been going as you would like, the rising [...]

When you become aware quite suddenly of a change in your life, do you not stop and say, “How did that happen?” Because it appears sudden, you are shocked, but we ask you to look at patterns. In many cases, such as what appears to be a sudden change in [...]

A synapse is the space between the axon and the dendrite, if you remember your school lessons … that chasm that a nerve impulse must cross to send its signal from neuron to neuron.  Yes, we have brought you a scientist today to help you become aware of just how [...]

Why do you wish to change another, to “bring them around” to your way of thinking?  Why, because from your viewpoint the sky is clear.  But have you sat inside the other’s mind?  “Yes, and it’s a bit cloudy,” you say.  “I wish to clear things up for them.”  Do [...]

“Did that really happen?  Did I see that light at the foot of my bed?  Did that penny appear out of nowhere?  Did I hear that voice?  Feel that presence?” Release!  Release your clinging to your humanity.  It is only part of your being.  The difficulty is that your humanity [...]

A gentle reminder.  That is all that is necessary.  Yes, a loud alarm clock does the job it is designed for, but is it not preferable to awaken to a soft hand on the shoulder or the quietest of chimes?  Do you live with someone with whom you have gotten [...]

Why is it that humans love to gaze into a fire?  Homes are built around a hearth.  Yes, of course, there is the aspect of warmth, but what is it about staring into flames?  You are staring at a metaphor for you and all that has been created from darkness.  [...]

Agendas.  Be aware that they exist.  Humans have their belief systems, and they cling to them tenaciously.*  Your movie screens are filled with them.  Entertainment can be an insidious way of perpetrating or projecting an agenda, to hold you prisoner for hours and project a specific viewpoint into your conscious [...]

Treasures  Why are they such to you?  What makes a think so special that you are convinced you would be devastated should it disappear, yet to another, it has little meaning?  It is exactly that:  the meaning which you ascribe to it.  Be cautious.  Meaning is consciousness … thought … [...]

On this day a group of men Inflicted terror great and then Sat back to laugh and brag and boast Of acts of which they were the host  Understanding this for most is hard To look at life with so little regard It’s sickness they suffer as a whole This [...]

“What is my purpose?” you want to know, and we ask you:  What is your passion?  What is it that you cannot NOT do  What is it that makes your heart open wide?  Now, how can you turn that into something that serves the greater good?  Your purpose may be [...]

Note from Suzanne: Yesterday’s message from Sanaya (Sept. 8, 2016) explained that many things we think happen by accident are “set-ups” from Spirit. Sanaya used an example of missing a bus or train, or taking a wrong turn. When it came time for me to choose the photo to accompany [...]

“How did that happen?!” you ask, flabbergasted. “I never heard or saw a thing!” Could it be you were not meant to? You missed an alarm or a bus or a train. You took a “wrong” turn. Or was it? When such unexpected events occur and you have a moment [...]

Drop a stone into a still pond and you quite clearly see the ripples spreading outward.  You on the spiritual path are aware of this analogy for the effects of raising your own loving vibrations.  But it is far more than an analogy, dear friend, and that word “vibrations” makes [...]

At times you must make decisions for another who cannot do so for themselves due to incapacitation.  You struggle so mentally, questioning, “Am I doing" or "Did I do the right thing?”  And we ask you:  What was your motive?  Did your actions come from the heart?  From an inner [...]

Love is the energy of the Uni-Verse.  It is THE creative, driving, compelling Force of All That Is.  You want to create coherence?  You want to be in alignment?  Be Love.  Love is the major attractor.  Love is the prime mover.  Love makes the world go ‘round.  These are not [...]

A fresh start is full of unknowns.  Why is this so frightening?  For you do not like surprises, or to take what you consider wrong steps, or to make mistakes.  Then you are not yet used to being human.  How long does it take until you realize that each step [...]
