Have you ever found yourself on an island and feel a bit cooped up? "Island fever" they call this. It is a mental construct, caused by the belief that there is something more you must see or do, some other place you must explore. It is all relative. Why do [...]
Note from Suzanne: Greetings from Greece, everyone! I want to publicly thank Bev Garlipp for posting Sanaya each morning while I am seven time zones away for two weeks. My meditation schedule has been a bit off from its usual morning precision. I am never sure what time of day [...]
Can you change your habits? Doing so requires flexibility. Often only in making a change do you realize how thoroughly entrenched you had become in your beliefs and your behaviors. A small change can bring about large and unexpectedly positive results. Do not resist change. Be aware of digging in [...]
Are you going to let others dictate how you feel? "All is well. You have nothing to fear" ... words you would do well to live by. You have programmed your mind and hence your emotions to react to certain cues, and like a machine you do so. Step outside [...]
"Where have you been?" you ask when you have gone through a drought of not feeling the connection, and we remind you that we are always here. There are a variety of reasons you may not feel the presence of your unseen helpers. The physical body and its ailment can [...]
How deceptive is the physical body! Do you not judge a book by it's cover more often than not? In many cases it is an accurate indicator of what thoughts and emotions lie inside, but not always. Apply the same test to yourself. What would people think if they judged [...]
What is your life expectancy? 80 years? 90? 100? If so, then you are cheating yourself. Your life expectancy is now, followed by now, followed by now, and now, and yet another now-moment. There will come a moment when the world outside of your sense of I AM makes a [...]
Never fear, for help is here Closer than you think. It’s at your side, inside your heart As fast as you can blink. You cannot get away from it This help that’s at your call For you’re supremely linked, my friend, With what’s the Source of all. [...]
Traditions … carried down from one generation to the next. Why do they last? For they bring connection, learning, a sense of belonging. You mourn when traditions die away, and with good reason. When there is no tradition, there is separation. Think of your Thanksgiving traditions … togetherness. If traditions [...]
Do not take your unseen guides for granted. Yes, they are there, but gratitude raises the vibration of all. Your gratitude is not necessary, but in expressing your thanks and acknowledging their presence, you strengthen the connection. In asking for help you make the connection direct and instantaneous. We are [...]
All is intricately interconnected. The body is in rhythm with the rhythms of the earth and the other planets in your solar system. Even your moon affects your mood. How is this so? For all is energy. When you are out of rhythm with the earth’s energies, you experience a [...]
I'm excited to announce that In the Silence, a second volume of one year's worth of Sanaya's daily messages, will be published by Christmas. Just as in volume one, Love Beyond Words, the front pages will contain endorsements from readers of Sanaya's messages. If you would like to share how Sanaya [...]
When you watch your dramas on television or in your theaters, how do you feel at the end? If it was a comedy, are you not uplifted? If it was a horror show, are you not horrified? And if it had a sad ending, do you not desire to cry? [...]
Never be afraid to enlist the help of friends or strangers. Yes, of course use caution with strangers, but let your heart be your guide. Our point is that in reaching out, you lessen your fear and strengthen your connection with All That Is. Whoever you reach out to is [...]
Note from Suzanne: As I sat to meditate at 6 AM, I anticipated the final miles on the road ahead of us this morning after five months away from home. Sanaya’s message was a beautiful reminder for all of us of what and where home truly is … many thanks [...]
Do you know where those who act from ego come from? A place of fear. Their actions may seem like confidence, but inside there is the fear that they will not be loved or will not have or get enough of what they think they need to survive. Do not [...]
Temptations will always surround you. What is a temptation? Something that pulls you like a magnet to do or take something that your intuition tells you is not in your best interest. What is in your best interest? That which increases your loving vibration, your health and harmony, your peace. [...]
Yes, being around lower vibrations can affect you. Be on the lookout for this. Some of you are like sponges and soak up the thoughts and feelings of others. Regular cleansing is necessary if you are to maintain peace. How do you do this? The recipe remains the same: Deep, [...]
“That is a death sentence!” you think upon hearing of one’s illness, as if this is the worst thing in the world. First of all, you cannot know whether healing will take place or not. Mostly, we wish you to examine your belief system. Yes, those who may be left [...]
Barriers … you put them up on your streets to keep cars from passing. You also erect them around yourself energetically to keep others from coming too close. In either case, they are obstacles. Why do you separate yourself from others? Your pre-judging keeps you from having some quite magical [...]
Do you see how excitable a dog becomes when it sees its prey? Single-minded focus blocks out all else from its awareness. Can you be the single-minded focus of love? This is the state you want to aim for in meditation to know your true self. Whilst the mind wants [...]
In the valley, all you see are mountains. The climb out appears daunting, but does not the sun shine in from above? It is a beacon, showing you that hope is always there. The valley is not so bad a place to rest for a while. The mountains stand as [...]
You are right: You cannot give money to every beggar you see, for sometimes they are out of reach. And yes, you are right: Sometimes they would use the money for drugs and alcohol. How they use your money is of no consequence. How you give it is of great [...]
A cloud drifts by. It does not last. It appears to have form, and so you notice it, and then it dissolves as if it were never there. At times a cloud releases a torrent of rain upon you, leaving a lasting impression. At others, it intensifies the effect of [...]
And so, you have your contests and your competitions, and one always wins and one loses. This is how you therefore see life, with winners and losers, as if one is good and the other bad. Would it not be wonderful if all always came out on top? But you [...]
