Life Living Itself

How does one learn how to trust in life? What is one trusting in? Ultimately trust is being lived when the gap closes between what we believe we want and what is actually happening. Realizing that we are life as it is presenting itself in every moment is liberating. The post What is Trust? appeared first on Susanne Marie .

When attention is put on Beingness itself the felt sensation that arises and which permeates our being is joy. Self delights in itself. The joy of Being has nothing to do with believing yourself to be worthy or unworthy, it just is. There is no need to hold back being in love with your Self.

Crisis and hardship are potential doorways to enter into the mystery of the unknown nature of reality. Crisis helps us to grow into being fully human and helps connect us to humanity via our hearts. The best use of crisis is to allow it to strip you clean, and to lay bare what is essential. The post How can crisis open us up to the truth of our Being? appeared first on Susanne Marie .

Something is always noticing what is awake and aware right now. Becoming curious about what is paying attention helps reveal what is lying in the background silently witnessing everything. As soon as we become quiet inside, natural beingness is invited forward. The post Learning how to pay attention to what is always noticing appeared first on Susanne Marie .

What lies deeper than the outward momentum of wanting things to be different? There is nothing that will save you in the end. A dying to looking outside of oneself for satisfaction is the key to real happiness. The post Wanting To Be Saved appeared first on Susanne Marie .

Every moment is another opportunity to surrender to its totality, to what it is holding. There is something that is still and unchanging no matter what we are doing or what is arising. When you discover that unmoving center then there is an awareness to presence that is present to itself in any given moment.

Life is intelligently moving in and through us, as us. When we learn to look inside rather than outside of ourselves, we give ourselves a great gift. We have the capacity to allow life to lead, as that is what we are in truth. The post Learning to trust in one’s own inner knowing appeared first on Susanne Marie .

There is a tendency in humanity to focus on the negative. Why is this? In truth, in between thoughts there are gaps that we don’t pay attention to. There is space between every single thought. When the space becomes aware of itself, it is called awakening. Consciousness wakes up to itself and as a result, is less glued (stuck) to thoughts. It is liberating and freeing, to know yourself as the back...

Spiritual seeking is a dance that we do because we are not quite ready to tell the truth. It is a distraction to feeling what it is that you are really wanting. It is so important to tell the truth of what you are longing for. When we tell the truth, we bridge the gap back to our true nature. Before you became anything, you were the unknown. Let yourself be swallowed up by what … The post What hap...

Suffering is a clue, your own personal koan, that something has been placed outside of yourself. Suffering arises when we imagine that having things outside of ourselves is going to alleviate our longing for wholeness. This becomes a habit of mind. Trace all projections back to the place where imagination was birthed, back to the emptiness that you really are. The post The source of wanting appear...

Seeking begins as soon as we feel that we have lost something, and the root of it begins in childhood. Beginning first with the birth of the sense of “I” when we are very young, and then later over the course of one’s childhood, we lose the felt sense of connection to source. Naturally, we long for what we feel we have lost, and we innocently and mistakenly run after things imagining that what we...

Why do we so often end up not doing what it is that we think we should be doing? This is because we are always doing what we want to do, regardless of how it seems. How do you know this? Because it is what is actually happening. The conflict lies in believing that we should be doing something different, not in actually what we are doing. Being true to ourselves in the moment, is … The post We do w...

Even though relationship seems to be happening outside of ourselves, it really is happening within. All relationship is with the self, it just seems to be with others. How we treat ourselves, how kind we are to our own thoughts, and feelings, is how we will be treating others. It is a natural extension from the inner to the outer, which in the end, is one thing.
