Shakti Gawain

When you’re following your energy and doing what you want all the time, the distinction between work and play dissolves.

Shakti Gawain

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.

A painful time in our life is what I call a healing crisis. We are letting go of something old and opening to something new.

Shakti Gawain

Ambition is an idol, on whose wings great minds are carried only to extreme; to be sublimely great or to be nothing.

As human beings we have vulnerabilities. We also have power, but we can’t just be powerful all the time.

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.

Eventually I lost interest in trying to control my life, to make things happen in a way that I thought I wanted them to be. I began to practice surrendering to the universe and finding out what ‘it’ wanted me to do.

Shakti Gawain

I’m especially interested in relationships since that is a part of life that causes enormous pain for many people.

Shakti Gawain

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