Thoughts From Suzane

Autumn is once again upon us, and we are overwhelmed by its breathtaking beauty, change and message. Each of us prepares for our own personal harvest of sorts as well, since the fall (like spring) has it own energy of "beginnings". Those beginnings will soon lead us into Halloween, Thanksgiving and the December holidays. If I was unaware of the approaching holidays before, I was certainly reminded in the airport, where signs of shopping for holiday gifts were already lit up in the Brookstone store, even though it was still September!

The thought came to my mind about the countless changes that have occurred giving rise to spiritual awakening since I began my work over thirty years ago. Not so long ago scientists, doctors (in all fields), and biophysicists would have never wanted to be on a medium’s show, let alone seek one out for their own connections! Now they are! I find this incredibly exciting and a wonderful time in history. For me personally, it’s heartfelt, for what this change shows is a deeper meaning that touches all of us. It reminds us, once again, that we all want to share in this wondrous peace, and in turn heal not only ourselves, but the planet and animals and every being that benefits from our love.

One of my recent radio guests, a PhD from Harvard, was sharing a story about how one glorious fall morning while walking down the mountain with her dog Max, her thoughts drifted to the results that she was waiting to hear about, regarding her recent biopsy for breast cancer. All of a sudden, out of the blue comes this big dog that proceeded to bite her in the butt! All her thoughts started jumbling together - “I'll have to get a tetanus shot, probably stitches and miss my doctor appointment!" Going into the bushes to check out her butt "situation", she saw that everything was all right. No skin was broken, and she would make her doctor’s appointment after all. She found out all the tests were negative . . . and in this case, a "negative" was a positive!

I kept thinking about how true it is that we tend to think "negatives” are bad, when in fact many "negatives" such as this one are actually positive. Consider the person who misses the plane that goes down, or someone who runs out the door forgetting their keys to the office, and runs back home just in time to find their child breaking out with the measles. It really is so true that when our thoughts are negative, we can turn them around if we can just take a deep breath, trust in the moment and know in our inner being that everything happens for a reason. Most of time, the situation will be just fine.

It has truly been a blessing to me in my work, to exchange and share stories with so many who have found strength through pain while walking along their paths. In particular, stories of our loved ones going into spirit, and how it changes our lives. The same doctor from the story above shared with me the story of her mother’s passing. While sitting next to her mother and holding her hand, the PhD closed her eyes, sat in a meditative state, and when she looked up saw that the whole room was filled with light! It was so bright that as she looked over she saw tears going down the face of her son, who was also present. At that moment she knew that whatever difficulty she ever had with her mother was all gone; gone into the place where all souls are connected and we are not separated. She had never experienced anything like it before or since. I can only believe that this experience was the inspiration for her book, Your Soul's Compass. Yes, our PhD is none other that Dr. Joan Borysenko.

On a different note, as many of you know, October is the month of my favorite holiday (next to Christmas, that is), Halloween. Also called Samhein (SOW-in), this time is thought to be one where the veil between this world and the spirit world is the thinnest. Many of us know it as the time where little children dress up in delight and go trick or treating! October is also the month where so many individuals and organizations walk, run, and raise money to give support in numerous ways for breast cancer. I don’t need to tell you how many women and families are impacted by breast cancer – indeed my own mother is a survivor. There are many of us who are grateful for those prayers, support, and awareness for what is the most important thing in life, which is love.

That, my friends, is still the most significant force we know - love. It is written and spoken by every sage, from every spiritual teaching and from every religious sect known: our connection and union with the Source some call God.

Warmly,

Suzane
