When things do not go your way, you often push, and push, and push some more. Finally, when you are tired of pushing, you fall back, exhausted, and say, “I give up.” And what happens then? Things unfold, as they always will, for life is about change. Because you stopped [...]
"Compassion" is the word of the day. Can you make it your goal to look upon each being you see today with a love born of understanding who they are and why they act as they do? If you can do this … if you WILL do this, you will [...]
When an animal is in a cage, what does it do? It howls and lashes out. Do not humans learn to do the same when they feel threatened? Young children learn these behaviors and they become cemented in. We are not saying that being caged is the only cause of [...]
Beginnings and endings ... they occur all the time. All of life is cyclical. You sometimes mourn endings and celebrate beginnings. At other times you do the opposite. All is part of the ongoing flow of life. Your very existence as a human is cyclical. Why should one end of [...]
Confrontation. You run from it. That is understandable. Understand, however, that you can run or stand still and find peace in the face of others’ confrontation. What is confrontation? It is when two vibrations conflict with each other in a tangible way. This in the physical world is often visible, [...]
You lie on a beach and listen to the waves arriving one after the other. They lull you to a place of peace and serenity. You listen to raucous music and it enervates you. What is the difference between the waves? Some you hear and see, some you merely hear, [...]
Hi from Suzanne! We are now in Arizona, a state which does not follow Daylight Savings Time. For the next five days we will be 3 hours behind Eastern Standard Time, so Sanaya's daily messages may appear to post an hour later than usual. If you follow by email (you [...]
You want your neighbors to stop quarreling so that you may find some peace. You want that other country to be at peace so that you will feel safe. You want your partner to stop throwing things so that you will not be hit. All of these are good motivations, [...]
“Look at how God showed up today!” Have you heard this phrase? You may want to remember it when someone quite different from yourself enters into your experience. Each of you is an aspect of the One Mind playing out a different drama of your choosing. You can judge others’ [...]
If you knew you could not die, how would that change things for you? You would feel no fear, perhaps, or perhaps you would play more. You go on and on eternally, growing in your expression of love. Yes, into each life comes rain, and we do not wish to [...]
When a baby cries, you run to help it. Such an alarm incites action. Pain in the body does the same thing for you now. It sends a signal. “Action is necessary,” the cry for help says. Once you have taken action, there is no need to dwell on it, [...]
Divisiveness – when the one becomes more than one due to beliefs or actions. You can see the very nature of the word here: divided. All is one in essence, but when there are differences, it is difficult to see this. You live in a world of opposites. Learning to [...]
Do not cast aspersions on another. They know not what they do. Yes, their actions as humans may be willful and result in harm of some sort, but the true soul of that person lies hidden beneath. If all were aware of their true nature, you truly would experience Heaven [...]
Buy yourself a bauble or a new item of clothing. Does it make you feel good? Then we rejoice. Whatever helps you to feel your beauty is to be celebrated. You have no need for external adornments to accentuate the natural beauty that is you. Your beauty lies in who [...]
A favor from Suzanne: If you have a copy of "In the Silence," the latest book of Sanaya's messages, and feel inspired to do so, would you please write a review of the book on Amazon.com? Your comments will help tremendously to bring these messages to those who do not [...]
Benefits accrue. Interest grows. These sound like your banking and investment terms, do they not? But we are speaking now of the investment you make in your soul. The more often you make choices that come from love, the higher the return. When you do little to build up your [...]
There are none with whom your thoughts are more programmed than with those most close to you—your family. We invite you to spend a day as a stranger in their presence. What do you do when you meet someone for the first time? You observe them. You laugh at the [...]
When you do not know any other way to see a situation and that situation is taking you farther from a place of peace, shift your consciousness. You do this with your imagination. Become someone else and see yourself and your situation with their eyes. Yes, a simple change in [...]
Simon Says. Do you remember that game? Any words that came after “Simon says” you were supposed to do, and you did them. What a silly game, yet you had fun playing it. For a while you subdued your free will and did whatever you were told. Now you have [...]
“I’m not myself today,” you say. And who, we ask, is the real you? “It’s not this crabby, listless person,” you reply, and you are partially correct. That is indeed one of your many selves. You have a limitless, infinite number of selves if you consider ego a self. The [...]
“When one door closes, another opens.” Have you not heard this before? Many of your sayings become sayings because so many have experienced the truth inherent in them. You balk when a door closes. At times it closes suddenly and so unexpectedly that you are startled. It takes a moment [...]
All things in moderation. You have heard this before. “Oh, how boring,” you think, and we ask you to reconsider. You enjoy the highs, whether they be physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual, but what of the lows? Remember the pendulum. As high as it swings in one direction, it will [...]
Conformity … coming into alignment. Did you know that your expression “Towing the line” in not about towing at all, but “toe-ing,” such as what happens when a group of recruits is told to stand at attention with their toes along a line painted on the ground. They are toe-ing [...]
