One hundred will say wonderful things to you and one will sling arrows. Where will you place your focus? Most humans will be drawn to the arrows. Why? Because negativity fuels the ego. It bolsters the sense of separation, without which ego cannot survive. Positive strokes do the same thing, [...]
I know what grief feels like. When my step daughter was struck by lightning at age 27 and killed along with her unborn child, the pain was nearly unbearable. That’s why, when I received an email from Irene Vouvalides, a grieving mother who expressed a desperate desire to connect with [...]
“I’m not myself today.” It is good that you notice this. Awareness is key. Then you might ask whose energy are you carrying around? What is it that is blocking your true nature from shining through? Energetic cleanliness is all-important. Those around you may carry quite a different vibration from [...]
All are of the Spirit … not just the beautiful beings, not just those who smile, not just those who make your time worthwhile. The same spirit that breathes you breathes all others. Those who seem the least of you may in fact be kings. Make an effort to spend [...]
Compassion is always the answer, for it is born of love. When you do not know how to respond in the face of very human reactions, whether of another or even yourself, turn on the compassion. Compassion does not say, “I agree with your actions.” It does not say, “I [...]
That sense you have that someone in spirit is around? Honor that. That feeling that the dream you had was a visit? Honor that. You are consciousness … spirit here and now. Those you think you have lost are consciousness … spirit here and now. How else would you experience [...]
“How could you?” Three disparate words, which when put together and added to another phrase bring your vibration instantly plummeting to earth. “How could you be so ___?" "How could you do such a thing?” "How could you, how could you?" Do you see the effect that words can have [...]
How many times throughout your busy day do you think about one who is not physically present, such as a dear friend or parent? If you are honest, you will admit that at times you can spend most of a day so fully focused on your own life that one [...]
How much control do you have? As much as you want. The question becomes, how much peace do you want? Control is of the ego, peace is of the spirit. The two cannot exist well together. The more you try to control a situation or others, the farther you are [...]
You cannot lift a boulder that is too heavy for you. And so, you have several choices. You can leave it there blocking your path and make no progress. You can break it into smaller pieces and carry off one or two stones at a time. You can ask for [...]
Here's a new and fun way of looking at ourselves, courtesy of Sanaya (my team of guides): In my "Let Your Spirit S.O.A.R." course I teach that each of us has our own unique vibration or frequency. This energetic signature is an average of all of the thoughts we've had and the [...]
People make mistakes. Can you forgive them? People say and do things that do not agree with you. Can you forgive that? If you cannot, you may be spending much of your time alone, for no two humans think and act exactly alike. This is the reason for relationships, to [...]
Run, run, run away. Run away from your problems, your challenges, and your issues, but they will run right alongside you. “Look at me!” they say. “Stop and face me. All I want is to be noticed, not ignored.” Can you see this? Your issues are friends that will continue [...]
Things do not always go the way you want them to. What a blessing. You are not in control. What a gift. Can you be comfortable with that? What a test. Welcome to being human. The greatest test you face is being, and being here, and how you react to [...]
Take time for yourself today. Stop and see something you might have passed by in your hurry to get somewhere or to get it all done. “It” will always be there, as will that place you are rushing to. This moment here and now passes you by when you focus [...]
You become frustrated with the body, with its limitations, aches, pains, breakdowns, and weight gains. You then proceed to judge it and see it with disdain. Do you realize that your body is as much a best friend as is your best friend? Apply the same teachings we have given [...]
Friend Clint Stull shared with me a vision he experienced while on a recent walk. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did: "I AM seated against a wall in the center of a long room with a door at each end. In front of me is a window [...]
What do you know with certainty? Do you know that the sky is blue? Is it really? Do you know there is no death? You trust that life is eternal, but what do you know beyond all thought and beyond anything the senses tell you? I AM. This you have [...]
You are always encouraged to live in the present moment, but at times it is necessary to dip into the past in order to heal. Go back in your memories to a painful time … one which if you dreamed of it now you would call it a bad dream. [...]
Note from Suzanne: I received an email from a woman wondering what would happen if a loved one who had passed wanted to communicate with a family member through a medium but they did not speak the same language as the medium. I asked this question to Sanaya, and they answered: [...]
Are you feeling offended? That is ego. Are you feeling put-upon? That is ego as well. Fearful? Angry? Judgmental? Oh, the many faces of ego. Were you to stop and think about them all they would astound you, and they are oh, so changeable. They are called masks for a [...]
I want to share a beautiful confirmation I received that those in spirit are truly with us and that mediums are not simply “reading the mind of the client.” During a reading last November I heard the name “Sammy” (I’ve been given permission to share this story anonymously, so I’ve [...]
Honesty is the best policy. Why is this? Because a part of you always knows truth, is truth, has no opposites, is only Love. That is spirit. There is another part of you that feels it must protect itself, make itself look better in some way, or come out ahead. [...]
You are whole already. You are complete. Nothing is lacking in your basic essence as spirit. Picture a sphere filled with love, filled to overflowing. That is you. Relationships merely add a different dimension. You will appreciate the play on words. Relationships exist for you to realize your fullness, your [...]
You agreed to this … not to the pain, but to the relationships which would bring your soul the most growth. It is a fact of life as a human that some of the greatest growth results from pain, but principally when you recognize the pain as growth opportunities. The [...]
