Expectations will always color your experience. Why is this? For your thoughts truly do create your reality. When you have expectations, they set up a vibration much like an intention. If your expectation of how an event will turn out does not match the circumstances, you are disappointed. If you [...]
Yes, you are stunned when one you know passes suddenly, and several others become ill, seemingly all at the same time. Is it bad luck, or is it simply the natural cycles of Life? You do not pay attention when all is going smoothly, according to what you consider “good.” [...]
What is it you say that your alcohol does for you? “It removes your inhibitions.” And what happens to you then? You act with abandon. What is it you abandon? What is it that inhibits you? The “norms” of human behavior. The very word implies that which is accepted as [...]
Why are most of your fellow human beings so unaware of a greater reality? They have been taught that this physical world is the only one. It is all a matter of believing what you have been told, to the exclusion of a personal experience. You had that experience—that connection—with [...]
“Life is not for the faint at heart.” That is why you are given a heart. When you feel you cannot go on, place your focus there, in the center of your chest. The center of you is also the center of the Universe ... the center of All That [...]
Note from Suzanne: Today’s message came after I caught the old “monkey mind” chattering away during meditation. Sanaya's words apply, as always, to so many situations we face throughout the day. Distractions abound. What is a distraction, but anything that takes your mind away from its intended focus. Even those [...]
When you go along with the crowd all of the time, you can get lost in there. The view from the middle of the flock is only of the other sheep. Venture to the edges and the view changes. Slip outside the fence for a bit of fun. You may [...]
And so, one person pays you attention and they are a person with power, or position, or wealth. And so, you beam. Why is this person of any greater importance to you than any other? The ego would have you think that such attention makes you greater, more powerful as [...]
When you find yourself saying, “What the heck, I have nothing to lose,” then you have already won. At that point, you are ready to surrender your fears and doubts, and then the limitless possibilities can begin to take shape. Need we say more? We could ask you to list [...]
Who is in charge here? Is it you or is it a joint effort? Who would be the one pulling your strings? Does it matter what you call the Guiding Force that gives you life? Not at all. What matters is that you realize you never act alone. Yes, you [...]
What are your priorities? When they are in order, everything will get done in perfect order. “But I must do this or that!” you think. When you hear yourself say these words, stop and assess your priorities. Is love and connection at the top of the list? Perhaps that is [...]
Balance and alignment. You do this on a regular basis to your car, do you not? If you fail to do this, the car wobbles and does not ride efficiently. How do you balance the self? Listen to your thoughts. Are you in alignment with your highest nature? How do [...]
When you are harried or rushed, life can easily pass you by. What does this mean? Life is ongoing all around you in this now-moment. Imagine yourself in a car. The illusion is that you are moving past the scenery—going, going, going here and there, when in fact, in every [...]
Interdependence … this applies to you more than you know. It becomes so easy to think you can survive on your own, but do not let that thought overtake your purpose (to be the presence of Love). Were it not for your parents, you would not be here. Were it [...]
Compassion. Look at the word. It carries the meaning “with passion.” You so often equate passion with sexual love, but here we ask you to love all others with great spiritual love. Go straight to the heart of that other who may not look or act as you do and [...]
Love and fear. Love and fear. They are circular when you are in human form. You experience love, and when the feeling goes away, you feel fear that you will never have that feeling again. Then you come back to a place of love. On and on goes this cycle [...]
Cleanse, cleanse, cleanse. You take a shower every day to clean the physical body, yet what do you do to clean the energetic body? And suddenly you find yourself out of sorts and you don’t know why? Why, it’s very simple: your energetic body is gunked up. There are methods of [...]
Return to your roots. We are not speaking of your earthly ancestry, but the aspect of you that arises from Spirit. If you like the analogy, picture a great and mighty tree, full of wisdom. All humans are but leaves on that tree. You gather on various branches and give [...]
Life is good. You put this on your t-shirts, and it is Truth. When you have this as your fundamental belief, goodness flows. Anything less than goodness is simply a thought system in need of correction, and the basic goodness of the Universe will ensure that the correction is made. [...]
Praise verses condemnation. You happily accept the one and eschew the other. You have grown accustomed to reacting to praise with positive emotions. As a child, those who were important to you stroked you as they said loving things about you. Perhaps words of condemnation were accompanied by negative vibrations [...]
