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 [...]
Be honest with yourself. What does that mean? At some level higher than the ego you know truth. The body has a way of letting you know truth and when you are not living that truth. It is called discomfort, and it manifests through a feeling in the heart-stomach area. [...]
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 [...]
Defensiveness … What is its origin? Ego. Always the ego tries to protect itself, and it does this by giving you the illusion of separation from others. There is only the separation of individual traits. At your essence there is only Consciousness. Consciousness is Love. Anything less than that reveals [...]
Many thanks to my assistant, Bev, for posting all of the available transcripts and recordings from the 2013 sessions with Sanaya on my website (under the Sanaya tab - "Special Sessions with Sanaya"): https://awakenedway.suzannegiesemann.com/sanayasessions/ The next session will be in Oxford, FL, at Temple Shalom on December 7th at 7 [...]
Family members do not always do what you would like or expect. Why should they? You chose each other for the growth opportunities you would provide to the other. If all of you were perfectly loving and compatible, why then you would have to go and find someone else to [...]
Emotions serve a purpose. Caused by your thoughts in the first place, emotions then cause the body to secrete certain hormones dependent upon the emotion. These hormones then cause what you call a “feeling” within the physical body. At times these feelings are pleasurable; at times distasteful. No matter whether [...]
If you cannot love yourself, then when others who have shown you love are no longer present, the pain in your heart will be quite acute – more so than the losses that all experience as a part of normal human life. This is a sign. That pain is telling [...]
In my work as an evidential medium, I talk to many fathers who have passed to the other side. Many times my clients are happy and relieved to hear from their dad, but that’s not always the case. More often than one would hope, a man comes through with an [...]
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These are rights one nation has proclaimed as its own and as those of all other human beings. These are your birth rights, indeed, because all of you are not just human, but spirit. The soul is Life. Life cannot be taken away, [...]
No one can do the heavy lifting for you. Being human is easy. You simply follow the crowd. Being an awakened human may be a bit more challenging. Once awakened, it is no longer so easy to follow along and to think as those who remain ignorant to a greater [...]
Note from Suzanne: Do you know someone in need of healing? Be an angel (the meaning of which is "messenger") like the therapist mentioned in this comment just received at www.post.com: "Every morning begins with Sanaya Says. I am so grateful to you (and my therapist who suggested I read your [...]
Fundamentals … the basic lessons you learn as children in your primary schools before you move on to the more advanced topics. It is like anything in life: You must crawl before you walk and walk before you run. You wish to be enlightened and to awaken fully to the [...]
You are told to look for the silver lining. What causes this effect? The sun shines from behind a dark cloud, showing you with its luminous rays that even in the face of obstacles the Light is still there. It catches your attention and you are drawn to it. All [...]
