It is nigh unto impossible to remain in a spiritually-awakened state at all moments of the day. This is because you have years and years of programming and habitual actions to overcome. Once awakened, most choose not to go back to sleep, but it is part of life on earth to sleep—part of the plan. Each time you open your eyes, you experience something different and are given growth opportunities. Have you ever watched a dog at rest? His eyes may be open, but slowly, slowly they begin to close. “There he goes,” you say, and once again he is slumbering, off and on throughout the day. All creatures are like this—experiencing moments of awakening mixed with sleep. Your spiritual path is the same. Do not berate yourself for drifting back to sleep once you have tasted the awakened state. Simply aim to be awake as much as needed for your soul’s growth. There is much to experience and learn whilst awake.
You are so very loved.

I asked my guides this morning to help me with some human conditioning that “snagged” my attention since last night and was causing me some distress, and I received my answer through this Daily Way minutes later.
My human conditioning is not a thing to root out like a cancer, but part of my awakening/slumbering cycle on this earth, part of the costume I choose to don, and part of my eternal Soul. It is to be embraced, because it allows me to have the experience of awakening. And that experience is simply realizing that it is all part of the Plan, and it is right and perfect and divine – not the getting rid of it, but the very act of its acceptance!
And just like that, my equilibrium is restored, joy fills my heart, and I now thank (instead of resent) my human teacher last night for allowing me to have that experience and understanding. Truly. What a blessing!
Thank you, Sanaya and my guides, for bringing my answer so speedily and transforming the heaviness in my heart to lightness and gratitude! What a beautiful journey this is – oh, I am so blessed to be having it!
This was amazing to read at the end of the day! After seeing yet again how hard it is to maintain awakening throughout the day – even just longer moments of it – even after experiencing so much and the profound beauty of it. After incredible higher states, coming back down to the daily work of staying awake each present moment and all that entails- thoughts taking you off, lower self taking space in a myriad ways; an endless retrieval. But oh so very worth it. Such beautiful and compassionate advice, exactly at the most perfect moment: “aim to be as awake as much as needed for your souls growth. There is so much to experience when awake.” This has changed my relationship to it, after so many years, to see in a new way and has renewed my aim and energy. My gosh we really are loved and it is miraculous. Thank you dear Suzanne for all your efforts to bring this love and guidance from them to us. By their grace go we
Thank you for this reminder, Suzanne. You always seem to offer up just the things I need to read, just when I need to be reminded of them. I had a profound spiritual awakening during the first few weeks of your Shift Network course, but since then, work and life and stress has taken center stage. I’ve been feeling guilty and a little deflated about “losing the magic” and my connection to spirit. So thank you for the reminder that it ebbs and flows with life, and just because I’m not as tuned in at this moment, doesn’t mean I can’t get back to that place of love, light and inner knowing.
So much to learn in the awakened state. This scared me s bit. Pressure. I feel I’m only drifting through life..the awakened life! I ravish every moment of each day after being awakened. The old programming isn’t that bad coz without it I wouldn’t be who I am now – awakey?. Thank you both Suzanne and Sanaya ?❤️??
Until I was about 12 years old I fell asleep at night this: my bed would start to very slowly spin and as I seemed to melt into it it would start floating upward. It would pass up through the roof of my house and up into the sky. I could see my house down below. I continued to float upward until I could see the Earth down below. I would keep rising higher until I felt like I was so big, I was everything. Then in a second I was nothing. Then I was asleep. Your Hemi-syc meditation sounds very similar to that experience. Thank you.
Thank you so much – I needed this one today!
