Still Life

2016-10-20T06:47:42-04:00October 20th, 2016|

“Is (s)he still breathing?” you ask, watching the chest rise and fall, and this you take as a sign of life.  It is a sign that the physical body is functioning, indeed—that the Life Force continues to animate the body—but the Life Force continues with or without the body. What [...]

In the Pauses

2016-10-19T07:56:27-04:00October 19th, 2016|

Why is a thing beneath you? Because you put it there. What if things that happened to you Gave you little care? The things that happen in your life Are there to give you pause -- To see what each effect Arises from each cause. They call it learning, how [...]

Expectations

2016-10-18T06:45:40-04:00October 18th, 2016|

Expect the best.  How often do you do this, especially in your relationships?  You become accustomed to others’ behaviors.  Those that rankle are often the ones you focus upon, wishing they would change.  So focused are you on what to you are felt as lower vibrations that you come to [...]

Perspective

2016-10-17T08:17:02-04:00October 17th, 2016|

So many viewpoints. So many clashing at this time. Oh, if you could release the grip you have on your viewpoint being right and the others’ being wrong, so much more peaceful would you be. Can you simply allow? Yes, discuss your position, but unclench the jaw, can you? You [...]

Rays

When you doubt if you can or will accomplish a thing, study your thoughts.  Your intentions carry far more importance than you may know.  What is your motive?  If it is to serve, to help, to heal, then set the highest intention and hold fast to it as you send [...]

Searching

2016-10-15T07:09:06-04:00October 15th, 2016|

“What was that name?”  “Where did I put that thing?”  Have you not had those moments?  Try as you might, the answers elude you.  And that is the problem:  you are trying, which puts you in the head.  Do you not realize that memories, names and such are not stored [...]

Surfing

2016-10-11T07:37:03-04:00October 11th, 2016|

Oh, that pang of fear when you know you have done something wrong.  Right away, by our using the word “wrong,” you know we refer to human perceptions.  For the soul there are only “learning opportunities.”  That oh so uncomfortable feeling that makes you want to run and hide and [...]

Guided Creation

2016-10-10T07:46:11-04:00October 10th, 2016|

You never know what you are capable of.  Most humans would complete this sentence with the words “until you try,” but we urge you to complete it with “until you allow yourself to be guided and simply do what you feel in your heart you are being led to do.”  [...]

Bumps

2016-10-09T10:48:15-04:00October 9th, 2016|

Just when you think you are doing fine and all is well, something comes along to knock you off balance.  Trust us that all is in perfect order always, but the peace you felt is forgotten for a moment.  But wait … it is still there.  This is just a [...]

Justifying

2016-10-08T07:24:10-04:00October 8th, 2016|

Why do you feel the need to justify things, to explain yourself?  Could it be, yet again, so that people approve of you?  Could it be so that others do not judge you?  What if you do not explain your actions or words?  What was your motive in doing or [...]

Team Player

2016-10-07T07:04:34-04:00October 7th, 2016|

What does it mean to be a team player?  It means you care more about the whole than any one individual, most especially the self.  Does this mean you must be self-sacrificing to be a team player?  There are no musts or shoulds, merely the question, “what will best serve [...]

Upstream

2016-10-06T06:34:31-04:00October 6th, 2016|

Salmon swim upstream, going against the flow, which appears to be the opposite of what we are always advising.  Yes, in most cases, it behooves you to flow and allow others to flow.  But what are the salmon doing?  They are following their deepest inner guidance.  They are exerting effort, [...]

Flowing

2016-10-04T07:56:22-04:00October 4th, 2016|

When you feel frustrated with another, when you feel anger and judgement, you are causing toxic blockages within yourself.  Why do these blockages occur?  For you are not allowing Life to flow as it will.  You are saying, in effect, “What I am witnessing is not right.  It should not [...]

Time Out

2016-10-03T06:56:17-04:00October 3rd, 2016|

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 [...]

Soft

2016-10-02T06:34:55-04:00October 2nd, 2016|

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.  [...]

Shifting

2016-10-01T07:57:18-04:00October 1st, 2016|

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 [...]

Conscious

2016-09-30T07:42:59-04:00September 30th, 2016|

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

2016-09-29T07:54:15-04:00September 29th, 2016|

“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 [...]

More Than Memories

2016-09-28T06:38:21-04:00September 28th, 2016|

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 [...]

Deciding

2016-09-27T08:50:03-04:00September 27th, 2016|

“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 [...]

Selective Vision

2016-09-26T08:20:08-04:00September 26th, 2016|

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 [...]

Merged

2016-09-25T08:28:33-04:00September 25th, 2016|

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 [...]

On Purpose

2016-09-24T07:52:08-04:00September 24th, 2016|

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 [...]
