Image
You can love other people only to the degree that you've come to love and accept yourself
Shakti Gawain
Image
We are attracted to people who express the qualities we deny or repress in ourselves.
Shakti Gawain
Image
Freedom and relationship are polar opposites - they both exist on the same continuum. You DO want a relationship - and you DO want freedom - what you really want is BALANCE, you want wholeness.
Shakti Gawain
Image
Mind and intuition are at opposite ends of the same continuum and our goal is to strike a healthy balance between the two.
Shakti Gawain
Image
Individually and collectively, we are shifting from a position of fear into surrender and trust of the intuitive. The power of the feminine energy is on the rise in our world.
Shakti Gawain
Image
A deadness occurs in relationships when people are no longer willing to tell each other how they really feel.
Shakti Gawain
Image
It isn't necessary to be perfect to be a channel for the universe. You just have to be real- be yourself. The more real, honest, and spontaneous you are, the more freely the creative force can flow through you.
Shakti Gawain
Image
We, as spiritual beings, created the physical world as a place to learn. It's our school, our playground, our artist's studio. I beleive that we're here to master the process of creation - to learn how to consciously channel the creative energy of spirit into physical form.
Shakti Gawain
Image
We may overcompensate for our feelings of powerlessness by attempting to control and manipulate other people and our environment. Or we may eventually burst forth with uncontrolled rage that is highly exaggerated and distorted by its long suppression.
Shakti Gawain
Image
One law of energy is this: energy of a certain quality or vibration tends to attract energy of a similar quality and vibration.
Shakti Gawain
Image
We shouldn't ignore any guidance that comes from the mind - we should listen to our minds AND balance mental messages with intuitive messages. We need both to navigate our way through life.
Shakti Gawain
Image
When we consistently suppress and distrust our intuitive knowingness, looking instead for authority, validation, and approval from others, we give our personal power away.
Shakti Gawain
Image
The process of change does not occur on superficial levels, through mere 'positive thinking.' It involves exploring, discovering, and changing our deepest, most basic attitudes toward life.
Shakti Gawain
Image
When I wrote Living in the Light, I wanted to share about how I live my own life and to encourage people to tap into their own inner wisdom.
Shakti Gawain
Image
Every time you have a desire, in a certain sense you have a goal, something you would like to be, do, or have. Some desires are merely passing fancies, but others stay with us and go deeper. Our desires and our goals give us direction and focus. They help point us down our path of action in our life.
Shakti Gawain
Image
Learning to trust our intuition is an art form, and like all other art forms, it takes practice to perfect.
Shakti Gawain
Image
We all have within us a deep wisdom, but sometimes we don't know we have it. We live in a culture that doesn't acknowledge or validate human intuition and doesn't encourage us to rely on our intuitive wisdom. Much of the Western world emphasizes rationality and reason, but overlooks or ignores the enormous value of intuition and instinctive wisdom.

When you're riding a bike you're more connected to the outdoors and to other people than you are when you are stuck in your car.
Shakti Gawain
Image
This or something better now manifests for me in totally satisfying and harmonious ways, for the highest good of all concerned.
Shakti Gawain
Image
When I'm trusting and being myself as fully as possible, everything in my life reflects this by falling into place easily, often miraculously.
