More quotes by Shakti Gawain
Many of us have had the attitude that life is something that happens to us and that all we can do is make the best of it. It is basically a victim's position, giving power to people and things outside of ourselves. We are beginning to realize that the power rests in us, that we can choose to create our life the way we want it to be.
Shakti Gawain
No scoundrel is so stupid as to not find a reason for his vile conduct.
Shakti Gawain
I think in the Western world we have gotten overly identified with doing, and we've kind of forgotten about the art of being. And we don't see value in it we think that if you're not doing something all of the time, being very active and producing something, then you're sort of wasting your time.
Shakti Gawain
While prosperity is in some ways related to money, it is not caused by money.
Shakti Gawain
Everything in the universe wants to be loved and accepted. Our personal work is to find the love and acceptance within ourselves.
Shakti Gawain
Learning to trust our intuition is an art form, and like all other art forms, it takes practice to perfect.
Shakti Gawain
Your intuition is not the same thing as your mind. In fact, intuition is really the opposite of your mind - and you need to use BOTH in living your day-to-day life.
Shakti Gawain
Everyone we attract into our life is a mirror for us in certain ways. All of our relationships reflect certain parts of us. We all attract certain people into our life who have developed qualities opposite to the ones we are most identified with. In other words, they mirror our disowned selves, and we mirror theirs.
Shakti Gawain
Every creative genius has been a channel. Every masterwork has been created through the channeling process. Great works are not created by the personality alone. They arise from a deep inspiration on the universal level, and are then expressed and brought into form through the individual personality.
Shakti Gawain
Our bodies communicate to us clearly and specifically, if we are willing to listen to them.
Shakti Gawain
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
While no amount of financial wealth can guarantee an experience of prosperity, it is possible to experience prosperity at almost any level of income, except when we are unable to meet our basic physical needs.
Shakti Gawain
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
We live in a culture that doesn't acknowledge or validate human intuition and doesn't encourage us to rely on our intuitive wisdom.
Shakti Gawain
We will discover the nature of our particular genius when we stop trying to conform to our own or other people's models, learn to be ourselves, and allow our natural channel to open.
Shakti Gawain
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
Every moment of your life is infinitely creative and the universe is endlessly bountiful
Shakti Gawain
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
My willingness to be intimate with my own deep feelings creates the space for intimacy with another.
Shakti Gawain
By learning to contact, listen to, and act on our intuition, we can directly connect to the higher power of the universe and allow it to become our guiding force.
