The holidays … some look forward to them with great anticipation and some dread them. What a perfect example of how thoughts directly determine your experience. What is a holiday, but a date on a calendar associated with time, which is nothing but an artifice to allow you learning opportunities. [...]
Note from Suzanne: The latest public session with Sanaya contains a discussion of a highly useful mantra for coming more into alignment with one's spirit. The full transcript and a recording of the session are found as the first entry in the list under "special sessions with Sanaya" on Suzanne's [...]
Sloth. You know this as laziness, and with this word comes what to you is a lower vibration. But what of the animal by the same name? He is a slow-mover … actually a bit of an adorable creature who does little harm to others and is quite content to [...]
Judgments are obstacles to the soul’s growth. Beware now that you do not judge yourself for judging. That is the ego’s trap, to keep you in judgment. It is the human way to judge polarities: good or bad, nice or despicable, and with these judgments come feelings and emotions which [...]
As you awaken more and more to who you are and why you are having this experience, you will look upon past thoughts and actions and recognize the cause of behaviors which now you would not repeat. From your new perspective you can understand why you thought, spoke, and acted [...]
“If you could see me now …” We ask you to picture your loved ones on the other side, arms outstretched, and a smile on their face. Picturing them thus is far less painful than focusing on the past or on their loss. Doing the latter causes a release of [...]
It is quite easy to become seduced by human charms. These come not only in the form of charismatic persons, but in fancy things and gadgets that appeal to the eyes and other senses. There is nothing right or wrong in this. Enjoy them while you are human, but do [...]
How many ways can you worry? And about how many things? Your weight, the rent, your family, your health, your safety, your job, your future … Ah, do you feel it? That worry is wrapped up in what? In fear. The worries seem to be without limit once you get [...]
Rituals are training aids. They are quite useful for those who enjoy ceremony or need reminders of Truth, but for those who fully know Who and What they are, no ceremonies are necessary. For one who does not know how to light a fire, he might first dance in a [...]
When another angers you or does something that you think they should not do, how do you respond? If you respond with anger, which is a natural and understandable human reaction, you are not likely to achieve a desirable outcome, and if you do, you will have stymied an even [...]
When cells in the body fight each other you call it a cancer. The cells are no longer harmonious, but are working against the whole. What caused this challenge in the first place? Disharmony – a lack of awareness amongst the very cells of the body that they all serve [...]
“I long to be free of the chains that bind me” (A quote from Wolf Pasakarnis’ artwork). And what are those chains? The trappings of the ego … those thoughts that hold you prisoner in thinking that you are limited or fixed into position in your body. In fact, you [...]
Note from Suzanne: I had no idea last night when I sat to write a blog entry about group consciousness that hours later it would become quite relevant in light of current events. Of course Spirit knew ... Here's a follower's comment from my Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/SuzanneGiesemann : "Relevant as Ferguson protests [...]
Note from Suzanne: I was so moved by a comment about yesterday's message from Sanaya (http://www.suzannegiesemannblog2.blogspot.com/2014/11/on-inside.html ) on my Facebook page from Lynette Setzkorn that I am reposting it here: "When my father was in the very late stages of dementia at the end of his life, and could barely speak, he [...]
Earlier this evening as I pondered what to wear to my weekly flute choir practice, I questioned the decision to reach for my khaki slacks. I hadn't worn them in at least a year, but for some reason, the choice felt right. When perusing my selection of tops, I decided on a solid [...]
Who are you on the inside? Are you the body which you see in the mirror? That body has changed over the years, has it not? You may be wiser and have learned a thing or two, but the you who gazes in the mirror is the same. That is [...]
And so you find yourself in a situation that is uncomfortable. The vibrations around you are quite in dissonance with your own. Always you have a choice. You can get up and leave, but in keeping with human decorum, this would cause discomfort for those around you. What to do? [...]
There are no shortcuts in this process of awakening. You must do the hard work. This is why so many are content to remain in slumber. And what is the hard work? Facing your fears, feeling your tears, digging through the years when you were not willing to take a [...]
As you uncover old wounds—yes, “uncover,” for some you have buried so deeply in your mind that you are unaware of the effect they still have on you—fill the wound with love. There is a reason that you can now see these past events and behaviors that continue to affect [...]
There is always more than one way to do a thing, more than one way to respond. The challenge occurs when you become locked into habitual patterns. It is human nature to then defend your way of doing something so that when another proposes a different way, at times this [...]
