You wish for every day to be sunny, but life is not like that.  Into each life some rain must fall.  Bring to mind that special scent just after the rain when all has been cleansed.  What you saw as a curse was actually a blessing, come to wash away [...]

Seize this moment to create a dream.  Seize this moment to see it as true.  What are you waiting for?  Do you think all pieces must fall into place before you can believe that your dream is possible?  The pieces fall into place when you see the dream as possible.  [...]

You attract into your life exactly what and who you need for the greatest learning.  We are not speaking of doing so through your wishes, which does happen, but at a subtle level through the Law of Balance.  Opposites attract is another way of saying this.  Of course, you also [...]

Why do people stop and stare at rainbows?  They bring out the awareness, if only at a subtle level, that there is more to reality than meets the eye.  One moment you are looking at a clear blue sky, and the next you are seeing a swath of brilliant colors [...]

What is reality?  That upon which you are focused and take as your current experience in any given moment.  You say that perception is reality, and this is true, but do not fall into the trap of believing that what you perceive is the only reality.  Change the way you [...]

The center of attention.  This is what most humans secretly crave to be.  Why is this?  Because each of you is a focus of Consciousness, the center of which is you.  But there is more than you in existence.  There is you, and you, and you, and you … all [...]

When you sit in the back of the room, you are disengaged, and there is a reason.  When you walk to the front of the class, you are fully engaged, sending out a message to yourself and all others:  “I am interested in what is going on.  I am here [...]

You are expecting bells and whistles on your journey.  You want to have apparitions and great experiences when you sit to meditate.  When these things fail to happen you are disappointed, looking for the big events, which are actually small things.  You are missing the big picture, which includes the [...]

The act of surrender shows the utmost of strength.  To overcome ego’s will and the human belief that one must always be in charge requires fortitude unknown to many.  What is this act that says, “I am not in charge here.  I release the need to do it all, to [...]

Trust is a beautiful thing.  It leads you to step out with confidence and take on tasks which otherwise you might not undertake.  It leads you to lean on others you might not otherwise ask for assistance.  Why do you fail to trust?  For you have done so in the [...]

The gift of smell … one of your physical senses, but one through which Spirit can speak.  You are drawn to the beauty of a rose --the flower of love -- by sight, but in taking that extra step, you can enjoy its pleasant aroma as well.  The gift need [...]

Note from Suzanne:  a follower wrote:  "Please ask Sanaya for a prayer I can say to help the all the people affected by war, injustice, etc. I feel so helpless when I watch the news and I want the words that will really help lessen the pain and despair I [...]

(While Suzanne is out of Internet and cell phone range for four days, please enjoy this repeat of a favorite message from Sanaya) How many times do you doubt yourself? You wish to do something, to accomplish some task, to achieve some goal that lies in your heart, yet your thoughts [...]

(While Suzanne is out of Internet and cell phone range for four days, please enjoy this repeat of a favorite message from Sanaya) There, on the wings of a butterfly you fly, for you do not die.  All is illusion to the physical eye.  There is no such thing as a [...]

Where there is anger there is an expectation.  Where there is an expectation, ego is present.  Attachment to outcome is of the ego, the human side of you, not the soul.  The soul says, “And so it is.”  The human says, “I must have it this way or that.”  What [...]

“Oh, don’t do that!” you advise another, when there is no grave danger of harm.  You are simply protecting your beliefs about how things should be done.  Perhaps their actions may cause a bit more work for you.  Perhaps they will necessitate you doing something outside of the norm.  Is [...]

“Dance with me” … three words which make your heart sing when you wish to enjoy the closeness of another.  It is a special time of bonding, this act of dancing.  Do you know that all of life is a dance?  “Dance with me,” Spirit says to you, but will [...]

Honor thy differences.  In this way will you find peace.  In this way will you be able to love.  Instead of needing others to see and think as you do, to give you the love you think you need, you will instead glory in the diversity of Life.  With this [...]

When were you the safest you can remember as a human … the most loved?  When you floated in your mother’s womb, feeling and hearing her heartbeat and yours merged as one.  When will you have this feeling again, but not as a human?  When you pass from this physical [...]

Zero in on your challenges instead of pushing them away.  Do you wish to truly be free?  There is a reason for everything that you do that brings you pain or angst.  Are you willing to find out the root cause and pull out those roots?  All you need do [...]

Rays of sunlight break through the clouds, catching your attention, so striking are they.  Dark clouds come to all at some point in the human existence.  The rays of light are those unencumbered by the clouds.  They shine through like the sun to lift those in need.  At times you [...]

All are Special.  Remember this and allow it to seep into your consciousness at the human level.  May competition become a foreign concept.  May comparisons cease when it comes to good, better, or worse.  There is no need for this, only for ego’s sake.  Ego is the one who shouts, [...]

The question is so often asked, “Do we reincarnate?”  And the answer is a qualified yes.  Aspects do, yes.  The real you has no form.  The human thinks in terms of identifiable, separate forms.  That form-like aspect of you does not come back again so that you would recognize it [...]

Groveling … begging … what do these connote?  Desperation.  A lack of trust.  A lack of remembering what you have forgotten, either in the moment or over the years:  that you are spirit … divine at your essence, or you would not be breathing.  The greatest Power that exists breathes [...]

Be aware of rituals.  They can be as much of a crutch as special objects or any other item outside of yourself to which you give power.  When you do so, you forget that the Power lies within you.  Anything external is simply icing—at times sweet, but unnecessary.  Think about [...]

Love is all that matters.  This may seem a nonsensical statement to those who are worried about putting food on the table and paying bills.  This we understand.  What we wish you to understand is that there are two ways with which to view your life:  as a human, who [...]
