More quotes by 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
Everything that happens to us can be looked at as a gift. Although it's quite difficult when you're in the middle of a hard struggle with something, it's hard to see it as a gift, but in retrospect, we can almost always look back and say, Oh, I see why I had to go through that.
Shakti Gawain
Very seldom do we receive any support for trusting ourselves, listening to our own sense of inner truth, and expressing ourselves in a direct and honest way.
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
You create your opportunities by asking for them.
Shakti Gawain
If we look honestly at our relationships, we can see so much about how we have created them
Shakti Gawain
I am convinced that life in a physical body is meant to be an ecstatic experience
Shakti Gawain
Notice what happens when you follow your intuitive feelings. The result is usually increased energy and power, and a sense of things flowing.
Shakti Gawain
In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it.
Shakti Gawain
As long as we focus on the outside, there will always be that empty, hungry, lost place inside that needs to be filled.
Shakti Gawain
Trusting your intuition means tuning in as deeply as you can to the energy you feel, following that energy moment to moment, trusting that it will lead you where you want to go and bring you everything you desire.
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
I was looking for what the meaning of life was.
Shakti Gawain
We can learn to move into the unknown with the confidence that we have a guiding force within us that is showing us the way.
Shakti Gawain
To whatever degree you listen and follow your intuition, you become a creative channel for the higher power of the universe.
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
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
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
The universe will pay you to be yourself and do what you really love.
Shakti Gawain
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.
