In the silence, what do you hear? Yes, this is a silly question. If it is silent, there is nothing to hear. How long can you go before a thought or image breaks the silence? Not long at all. Use the silence to punctuate that which arises and stands out. [...]

“Look how much time we lost!” you say when there was a delay or a detour in your well-laid plans. And this shows you are thinking in “only human” terms. Do you know there is a part of you that is beyond space and time? This is the bubbling fountain [...]

“Oh, Spirit, guide me every step of the way,Every moment of the day.”In this manner may you pray.You are connected to all that exists.Even the smallest of creatures subsistsFrom This.This Power, this process, this ongoing flowOperates in a way that you can’t possibly knowAnd yet you still grow.Let go, let [...]

Are you always looking for shortcuts? There is no shortcut for Life. It is eternal. You have all the time in the world … in the Universe, where there is no time. Why do a thing if you cannot do it well and fully? You are here for the experience, [...]

Can you be a purveyor of peace, a spreader of love? What would that look like? Have you ever planted a garden simply by throwing handfuls of seeds into fertile soil? What a beautiful image for you as a sower of compassion and kindness. And it is true that you [...]

You wish to live in a world in which you hurt no others’ feelings? You already do at the level of the soul. Whilst experiencing the human story, however, the masterpiece you are creating will be filled with light and dark. That is the way of it. To be pure [...]

By giving power to the drama of another, you are not helping them. By remaining detached yet fully compassionate, you are able to receive insights and guidance from the state beyond the drama from which the highest solutions arise. The human side loves drama. It wants to bring others along [...]

“This AND.” Memorize and use this phrase and you will find peace. Yes, you are human AND you are part of a greater whole. Yes, you are experiencing a challenge AND the soul is beyond the challenge. Yes, you appear to be operating in isolation AND you are surrounded by [...]

Picture a net with interwoven strands. These are what you focus upon, but what of the spaces in between? Is it not the space that makes the web visible? You are used to noticing that which stands out, but that which is invisible is just as important. Think in terms [...]

Curiosity. You may be afraid of this due to a story you once heard of how it killed a cat. Do not give credence to a fairy tale. Be curious, for it gets you outside of the insular “me, me, me” state and expands your boundaries to “us and we.” [...]

You have found your way here because someone you love has passed. Passed where? That is what you want to know. To another state of consciousness. Just as you dream at night and have w-holy different experiences, they are now experiencing life in a different manner, but not a different [...]

Compassion. What is it? An understanding of another’s trials. A connection from soul to soul that focus on commonalities over differences. A knowing that says, “We are on the same journey, and if I can make your travels any easier, I am here for you.” Oh, if you would [...]

Just when you think you’ve learned all you can, along comes another lesson. Are these a form of punishment? They may feel so at times, for the human is motivated by pain and makes higher choices when nudged by experiences that feel less than pleasant. You did not embody to [...]

Your life has meaning. Is this not what all wish to know? You give meaning to objects as you experience their value to you. A pair of shoes has meaning to some if you put a label on them. But you, dear one, need no label or external beauty to [...]

The thought of having no control is terrifying to the ego. And yet, there are times you give up control for the joy of it. Can you imagine an amusement park ride where you float along in a log through chutes? On you go, getting jostled a bit and even [...]

Do you really know what it is to love unconditionally? Did you receive this kind of unwavering love as a child? Do you model it now? If you feel you are lacking in this regard, do not beat yourself up. You are human. Yet, beneath the crust is a soft, [...]

You do not have to believe in an afterlife for it to be real. We will tell you, however, that belief opens the door to you becoming aware of the signs of the greater reality. You must have eyes to see. In the case of the non-physical realms, it is [...]

When you look upon another, do you see the human role they are playing or the soul? If the former, it is unlikely you will be able to continuously move forward in a state of peace as the very presence of Love you both are. You will see separation. You [...]

When the wind or waves push a boat to one side, what happens after the wind or waves pass? It returns to the center? Not immediately. It passes the center and rolls in the opposite direction before settling back. This is the way of all things, including your energy. What [...]

You are a work in progress. Notice how words carry the meaning you give to them. What if you saw the word “work” with the meaning “work of art” or even a masterpiece, like your Michelangelo’s David which was revealed when that which obscured the masterpiece was removed? You are [...]

And so, you have a goal in mind. What are you experiencing as the outcome is uncertain? It is out of your hands right now. You have no control. Do you feel frustration? Impatience? That is the human way. How to ratchet things up a bit? Harness your innate Power [...]

Draw on your strength. And what if you feel exhausted? This is not a physical, mental, or emotional strength. It is an ever-present hum that is here with or without the body. It is your core, your essence, your very being. This strength never goes away, is always accessible, and [...]

Just when you think you have overcome a bad habit, there you go again. Do you beat yourself up? Most likely, for you are human. You revert to old ways when you forget that you are not only human. Had you remembered that you are a soul playing a role, [...]

You are capable of so much more than you can imagine. This is true in a literal sense. If you cannot imagine something, it is far less likely to become your experience. But what if you understood and unleashed the power of imagination? Why, then you would tap into the [...]

You call it the outer world and that gives you the illusion that outer is somehow separate from inner. What is the world? An experience in awareness. Is there an outer awareness and an inner awareness or simply one awareness? You know the answer. Is there a difference between your [...]

Ideas of right and wrong. Do they come from culture or from knowing? Those that come from culture and experience are learned and can change over time. Is it right or wrong to wear certain clothes? Ideas such as these have changed throughout centuries. What has never changed and will [...]

As you clear away the clouds, more and more of the blue sky is revealed. Clouds are often not apparent until they are gone. Bursts of the sun remind you there is more beyond the cloud cover. Be curious, why don’t you, as to what clouds may be present. Are [...]

“One worth knowing” … this is the meaning of the name Sanaya which we have given to this group who gives you these daily messages. How can multiple individuals be “one”? For they are one group, just as you are an individual within many ones: one family, one community, one [...]

Is it true? If that is your belief, then to you it is true. Is it truth? Could there be a difference? If you wish to split hairs, yes, this hair split apart will bring you freedom. Truth is truth no matter what. It does not come and go with [...]

You are reminded to remain steady in the storm. This does not mean to stand rigidly. If you do so, the next wave could easily knock you off your feet. A boat in a storm rocks from side to side or fore and aft, moving with the waves, not against [...]
