That sense you have that someone in spirit is around? Honor that. That feeling that the dream you had was a visit? Honor that. You are consciousness … spirit here and now. Those you think you have lost are consciousness … spirit here and now. How else would you experience [...]
“How could you?” Three disparate words, which when put together and added to another phrase bring your vibration instantly plummeting to earth. “How could you be so ___?" "How could you do such a thing?” "How could you, how could you?" Do you see the effect that words can have [...]
How many times throughout your busy day do you think about one who is not physically present, such as a dear friend or parent? If you are honest, you will admit that at times you can spend most of a day so fully focused on your own life that one [...]
How much control do you have? As much as you want. The question becomes, how much peace do you want? Control is of the ego, peace is of the spirit. The two cannot exist well together. The more you try to control a situation or others, the farther you are [...]
You cannot lift a boulder that is too heavy for you. And so, you have several choices. You can leave it there blocking your path and make no progress. You can break it into smaller pieces and carry off one or two stones at a time. You can ask for [...]
People make mistakes. Can you forgive them? People say and do things that do not agree with you. Can you forgive that? If you cannot, you may be spending much of your time alone, for no two humans think and act exactly alike. This is the reason for relationships, to [...]
Run, run, run away. Run away from your problems, your challenges, and your issues, but they will run right alongside you. “Look at me!” they say. “Stop and face me. All I want is to be noticed, not ignored.” Can you see this? Your issues are friends that will continue [...]
Things do not always go the way you want them to. What a blessing. You are not in control. What a gift. Can you be comfortable with that? What a test. Welcome to being human. The greatest test you face is being, and being here, and how you react to [...]
Take time for yourself today. Stop and see something you might have passed by in your hurry to get somewhere or to get it all done. “It” will always be there, as will that place you are rushing to. This moment here and now passes you by when you focus [...]
You become frustrated with the body, with its limitations, aches, pains, breakdowns, and weight gains. You then proceed to judge it and see it with disdain. Do you realize that your body is as much a best friend as is your best friend? Apply the same teachings we have given [...]
What do you know with certainty? Do you know that the sky is blue? Is it really? Do you know there is no death? You trust that life is eternal, but what do you know beyond all thought and beyond anything the senses tell you? I AM. This you have [...]
You are always encouraged to live in the present moment, but at times it is necessary to dip into the past in order to heal. Go back in your memories to a painful time … one which if you dreamed of it now you would call it a bad dream. [...]
Note from Suzanne: I received an email from a woman wondering what would happen if a loved one who had passed wanted to communicate with a family member through a medium but they did not speak the same language as the medium. I asked this question to Sanaya, and they answered: [...]
Are you feeling offended? That is ego. Are you feeling put-upon? That is ego as well. Fearful? Angry? Judgmental? Oh, the many faces of ego. Were you to stop and think about them all they would astound you, and they are oh, so changeable. They are called masks for a [...]
Honesty is the best policy. Why is this? Because a part of you always knows truth, is truth, has no opposites, is only Love. That is spirit. There is another part of you that feels it must protect itself, make itself look better in some way, or come out ahead. [...]
You are whole already. You are complete. Nothing is lacking in your basic essence as spirit. Picture a sphere filled with love, filled to overflowing. That is you. Relationships merely add a different dimension. You will appreciate the play on words. Relationships exist for you to realize your fullness, your [...]
You agreed to this … not to the pain, but to the relationships which would bring your soul the most growth. It is a fact of life as a human that some of the greatest growth results from pain, but principally when you recognize the pain as growth opportunities. The [...]
The question has been asked, "Is there a place after passing from the body of great horrors and gnashing of teeth that you would know of as hell?" There is no such place, geographically, but there exists the possibility of experiencing such a state of mind. Understand that there is [...]
Others come in and out of your life for a purpose. Loyalty is an admirable trait, but it does not require remaining available for another beyond the useful service of the friendship. When another ceases growing in spite of your interactions and your combined energies reach a state of dissonance, [...]
Are you feeling frustration with a friend or partner? Why is that? It is because you perceive something relative to your own thoughts or actions which are different and you judge them as lesser or wrong. And what happens next? You perceive a better way and you entertain thoughts of [...]
To do something out of desperation reveals a lack of remembrance of your true nature. Desperation contains angst, worry, fear … none of which are characteristic of your basic nature, which is love. You are spirit, a beautiful soul who is loved immensely at all times and beyond time. May [...]
Fear is a funny thing. You do anything you can to avoid it because you fear being afraid. You worry about things that might or might not happen, creating as assortment of frightening scenarios in your mind. These become contagious. You always have a choice—to be afraid or at peace, [...]
Why do you become defensive? For you believe there is something to protect. This implies a separation between a perceived individual self and another. When you can shed all thoughts and belief systems of the ego, which knows only separation, then there is nothing to defend, no reason to become [...]
Imagine a world with no competition, only cooperation. It is an impossible vision for most, but there are worlds where only cooperation exists, where it makes no sense to compete against another. This would be tantamount to cutting off one’s own hand. It is unthinkable … laughable. In those realities [...]
Battles have been fought over trivial issues. Man has not yet learned that he owns nothing. Power and greed have led to much bloodshed. These are the natural outcomes of having free will. Do you not see what great learning tools these are—these attributes of the ego? Without them, school [...]
You never act alone. Ever. There is a greater part of you doing the driving. It is only when you forget this that you can easily veer off course. You grab the wheel and think you must do everything yourself. It does not work that way. If spirit were not [...]
