Shakti Gawain Quotes

Every one of us comes into this life with lessons to learn and gifts to give.

To whatever degree you listen and follow your intuition, you become a creative channel for the higher power of the universe.

Spiritual healing occurs as we begin to consciously reconnect with our essential being - the wise, loving, powerful, creative entity that we are at our core.

Change happens not by trying to make yourself change, but by becoming conscious of what's not working.

The more light you allow within you, the brighter the world you live in will be.

We always attract into our lives whatever we think about most, believe in most strongly, expect on the deepest level, and imagine most vividly.

My true relationship is with myself - all others are simply mirrors of it.

When you see beauty anywhere, it's a reflection of yourself.

When we finally give up the struggle to find fulfillment "out there," we have nowhere to go but within. It is at this moment of total surrender that a new light begins to dawn.

Beingness, doingness and havingness are like a triangle where each side supports the others. They are not in conflict with each other. They all exist simultaneously. Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: They try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.

In order to heal themselves, people must recognize, first, that they have an inner guidance deep within and, second, that they can trust it.

As you learn to consciously observe the transformation process, you will watch yourself repeating a lot of old patterns long after you seemingly know better. Spiritually and intellectually, you realize there is another way, but emotionally you are still clinging to the old habits. This is a difficult time. Try to be patient and compassionate with yourself. When you recognize the futility of an old pattern so clearly, it's about to change! A short time later, you will suddenly begin to respond differently, in a more positive way.

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.

Since money is energy, our financial affairs tend to reflect how our life energy is moving. When your creative energy is flowing freely, often your finances are as well. If your energy is blocked, your money does too.

There is a wise being living inside of you. It is your intuitive self. Focus your awareness into a deep place in your body, a place where your "gut feelings" reside. You can communicate with it by silently talking to it, making requests, or asking questions. Then relax, don't think too hard with your mind, and be open to receiving answers. They are usually very simple and relate to the present moment, not the past or the future, and they feel right.

Our life is a reflection of what we believe we deserve. As we deepen our acceptance of and open ourselves to the Infinite love of the universe, a new power flows through us, releasing us from the bondage of our old way of life.

Every time you don't follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of energy, loss of power, a sense of spiritual deadness.

You create your opportunities by asking for them.

Whatever our individual troubles and challenges may be, it’s important to pause every now and then to appreciate all that we have, on every level. We need to literally 'count our blessings,' give thanks for them, allow ourselves to enjoy them, and relish the experience of prosperity we already have.

Your intuition will tell you where you need to go; it will connect you with people you should meet; it will guide you toward work that is meaningful for you - work that brings you joy, work that feels right for you.

Anything in life that we don't accept will simply make trouble for us until we make peace with it.

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.

We are attracted to people who express the qualities we deny or repress in ourselves.

May you be blessed with everything your heart desires.

A deadness occurs in relationships when people are no longer willing to tell each other how they really feel.
