More quotes by Shakti Gawain
Each one of us has all the wisdom and knowledge we ever need right within us. It is available to us through our intuitive mind, which is our connection with universal intelligence.
Shakti Gawain
We don't have in our culture a healthy understanding and respect for the value of Being, which is simply being present in the moment, not trying to go somewhere, not trying to accomplish anything but, just present.
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
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
We all have within us a deep wisdom, but sometimes we don't know we have it.
Shakti Gawain
Personal healing on all levels - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual comes when we get in touch with our disowned energies.... Through integrating all aspects of ourselves, we become whole.
Shakti Gawain
Most of us are in touch with our intuition whether we know it or not, but we're usually in the habit of doubting or contradicting it so automatically that we don't even know it has spoken
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
If we look honestly at our relationships, we can see so much about how we have created them
Shakti Gawain
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
I am convinced that life in a physical body is meant to be an ecstatic experience
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.
Shakti Gawain
Every moment presents a new opportunity and a new decision.
Shakti Gawain
We are attracted to people who express the qualities we deny or repress in ourselves.
Shakti Gawain
Work and play can be the same. When you are following your energy and doing what you want to do all the time, the distinction between work and play dissolves. Work is no longer what you have to do, and play what you want to do. When you are doing what you love, you may work harder and produce more than ever before, because you are having fun.
Shakti Gawain
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
In the Western world there isn't much value given to the necessity for just being quiet. And just resting, and just being, without a focus or a goal. At least a certain amount in our lives - we don't need to do half and half it's okay if we're doing a lot of doing, we just need some being mixed in.
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
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
By viewing our relationships with friends, family, and co-workers as mirrors, as teachers - we see that they are reflecting back to us exactly what we most need to learn.
Shakti Gawain
