What Would You Do If You Were Prevented from Seeing Your Bedridden Father?
Cullanete Bloom
"Suzanne's healing over the past six months has been invaluable. My first request was for a healing package for my uncle, who had recently been in the hospital and asked me to contact Suzanne. After being discharged, he needed a catheter, which caused him great distress. Soon after Suzanne’s Distance Healing, he no longer required the catheter, and five months later he is still catheter free.
"I later asked Suzanne to help with an extremely difficult family situation, where I was prevented from visiting my 90-year-old bedridden father. I asked her to send healing love to multiple family members. Over the course of four months, the situation improved, and I was recently able to spend time with him.
"Suzanne also helped my father directly several times when he needed urgent healing in recent months. He was in the hospital for a severe urinary tract infection, and the doctors were discussing the possibility of surgery. Soon after Suzanne’s healings, he stabilized and was able to return home.
"On the days Suzanne performs her healings, I feel uplifted, even during challenging times. I often gain clear insights and am more efficient, grounded and confident. Listening to her Inner Circle recordings, I’ve achieved a deep level of relaxation that’s difficult for me to reach otherwise. Most importantly, much of the anger I have been holding has completely dissipated, so I can move forward and navigate challenging situations more successfully.
"I cannot express enough gratitude for Suzanne’s loving healings. She is a gem—a genuine healer who has dedicated her life to this work and connects to source in a way that few can. I send my heartfelt appreciation."

How Are You Doing with Your New Year’s Resolutions?
Since childhood, I have been fascinated with people’s habits and addictions. Every single day, my father exercised. Every night, he had a few beers. I concluded that addiction was inevitable, so I decided to use that tendency to get hooked on good habits. Based on my personal insights and research, I developed a system to help people resist temptations, lead a balanced life and achieve success. I consolidated this information into a recording which I will share with everyone currently receiving Distance Healings and anyone who orders one by January 18.
I would love to hear your thoughts about the contents of this blog post and my artwork. You are welcome to do so in the Comment Section at the end of this post. I love to read your comments!
Sending you heartfelt wishes for a wonderful New Year, filled with joy and blessings,
Suzanne
Poem by Jnaneshwar
THE NECTAR OF SELF-AWARENESS
I honor the God and the Goddess,
The eternal parents of the universe.
The Lover, out of boundless love,
takes the form of the Beloved.
What beauty!
Both are made of the same nectar
and share the same food.
Out of Supreme love
they swallow up each other
But separate again
for the joy of being two.
They are not completely the same
but neither are they different.
No one can tell exactly what they are.
How intense is their longing
to be with each other.
This is their greatest bliss.
Never, not even in jest,
Do they allow their unity
to be disturbed.
They are so averse to separation
That even though they have become
this entire world,
Never for a moment do they let a difference
come between them.
Even though they see
all that is animate and inanimate,
arising from within themselves.
They never recognize a third.
They sit together
in the same place,
Both wearing a garment of light.
From the beginning of time
they have been together,
Reveling in their own Supreme Love.
They created a difference
to enjoy this world.
When that “difference” had one glimpse of their intimacy
It could not help
but merge back into the bliss
of their eternal union.
Without the God,
there is no Goddess,
And without the Goddess,
there is no God.
How sweet is their love!
The entire universe
is too small to contain them,
Yet they live happily
in the tiniest particle.
The life of one
is the life of the other,
And not even a blade of grass can grow
without both of them.
Only these two live
In this house called the universe.
When either one is asleep
The other stays awake
and plays the part of both.
Should both of them awake,
The whole universe would vanish
without a trace.
They become two
for the sake of a divine play,
But in every moment
they seek to become one again.
Both of them see together,
Both of them are seen together.
They are happy
only when together.
Shiva has become all forms:
both dark and light,
both male and female.
By the union of these two halves
the whole universe comes to be.
Two lutes make one note.
Two roses make one fragrance.
Two lamps make one light.
Two lips—one word.
Two eyes—one sight.
Shiva and Shakti—one universe.
Though appearing separate
They are forever joined,
always eating from the same plate.
She is a chaste and devoted partner:
She cannot live without Her Lord
And without Her,
the one who can do everything
cannot even appear.
How can we distinguish these two from each other?
He appears because of Her,
And She exists because of Him.
We cannot tell sugar
from its sweetness,
Nor camphor
from its fragrance.
To capture light
we take hold of fire.
To capture the Supreme Shiva
We must take hold of Shakti.
Light illumines the Sun,
But the Sun itself
creates that light.
The glorious Sun and its light
are one and the same.
An object has a reflection:
When looking we see two images,
yet there is only one thing.
Likewise, this world is a reflection
of the Supreme Lord.
We may see two,
Yet only One exists.
Out of pure emptiness
She gives rise to the entire world.
Everything depends on Her.
Yet She exists
only because of Her Lord.
Her form is the whole world,
it is the glory of God manifest.
God Himself created Her form,
God Himself became that form.
Seeing Herself beautifully adorned,
She could not bear that Her Lord
might have less than Herself.
And so She adorned Him
with every name and form in the universe.
Merged in unity
there was nothing to do.
So Shakti, the bringer of good fortune,
Created this world for the sake of divine play.
She reveals Her Lord’s splendor
by melting Herself and becoming everything,
And He glorifies Her
by hiding Himself completely.
Out of His great love to see Her
He becomes the Seer of the universe.
If He could not watch Her play,
He would have no reason to exist.
To meet Her call
He takes on the form of the whole universe;
Without Her
He remains naked.
He is so mysterious and subtle,
That while apparent
He cannot be seen.
It is by Her grace alone
that He comes into being.
She awakens Her Lord.
and serves Him a feast the size of the universe.
With great delight
He swallows up every dish
and also the one who serves Him.
While He is sleeping,
She gives birth to all that exists
and all that does not exist.
When She is sleeping,
He has no form at all.
Look!
He is hidden,
and cannot be found without Her.
For they are mirrors,
each revealing the other.
Embracing Her,
Shiva enjoys His own bliss.
Though all the joy of the world belongs to Him,
There is no joy without Her.
She is His very form,
But Her radiance comes from Him.
Blending into one,
they enjoy the nectar of their own union.
Shiva and Shakti are one,
Like air and the wind,
Like gold and its luster.
Shiva and Shakti cannot be separated.
They are like musk and its fragrance,
like fire and its heat.
In the light of the Sun
there is no difference between day and night.
In the Light of the Supreme Truth
there is no difference between Shiva and Shakti.
Shiva and Shakti envy the Primordial Sound “Om”
because they are seen as two
while the sound Om is always regarded as one.
Jnanadeva says,
“I honor the union of Shiva and Shakti,
who devour this world of name and form
like a sweet dish.
All that remains is the One.”
Embracing each other
they merge into One,
As darkness merges with the light
At the breaking of dawn.
When we discover their Unity,
All words and all thoughts
dissolve into silence,
Just as when the Universal Deluge comes,
the waters of the ocean, and those of the Ganges,
will merge into one …
The air and the wind
will merge into the endless sky;
The sun and its light
will merge into the Universal Fire.
With a true vision of them.
the seer and the seen
merge into one.
Again I honor
the two who are one.
They are like an ocean of knowledge
And only those who throw themselves in can drink
of their waters.
I appear separate from them
just so I can honor them.
But that separation is not real,
it is only in name.
My praise is like that of a gold ornament
honoring the gold from which it is made.
When the tongue is used to pronounce the word “tongue,”
Is there any difference between the word
and the object meant by it?
One is called “ocean,”
the other is called “Ganges,”
and though these are different names,
Their waters are still the same.
The Sun can be seen,
but so can the objects it illumines.
Does this mean there are two Suns?
If moonlight shines on the surface of the Moon,
Or if the light of a lamp reveals the lamp,
can we claim that there is another?
The syllable “Om” is made up of the sounds A, U, and M,
does that mean it is divided?
The letter “N” is made up of three lines,
does that mean it is more than one?
When the luster of a pearl
shines upon its surface,
The pearl’s beauty is only enhanced.
If one’s bounty is not lessened,
and only profit is obtained,
Why should the ocean not enjoy its waves,
or a flower its own fragrance?
So I enjoy the worship of Shiva and Shakti,
though I am never separate from them.
A reflected image disappears
when the mirror is removed,
Ripples merge back into the water
when the wind becomes still..
When sleep comes to an end,
a man returns to his senses.
Now my individuality has come to an end,
and I have returned to Shiva and Shakti.
Salt gives up its salty taste
to become one with the ocean;
I give up my individual self
to become Shiva and Shakti.
When the covering is removed,
the air inside a plantain tree
merges with the air outside.
And this is how I honor Shiva and Shakti—
by removing all separation and
becoming one with them.

Suzanne, your sun and moon are perfect reflections of the many people and situations we encounter in life. I am reminded to take notice when I experience what appears to be an opposite. Sometimes it is the perfect situation for me to share more of myself, to observe more closely, to listen attentively, to make a new friend, or to help another through a rough place. Thank you for this nudge!
I love the poem and your painting. Both are so beautiful!
Your poem reminds me of a poem by Jnaneshwar who was a saint, poet and mystic born in 1275. I read the poem in the book “The Inner Treasure” by Jonathan Star.
A google search on “Shiva Shakti poem” brings up some results on that poem.

Wonderful Suzanne!! Your art “play” and poem sent me through the roof again. You are a wonderful visual artist and mental artist, painting a clearer mind for those who are fortunate enough to come in contact with you and what you create. In awe, adoration and admiration.
