1. “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
2. “You create your opportunities by asking for them.” Shakti Gawain
3. “In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it.” Shakti Gawain
4. “We have been accustomed to thinking that we have to get something from outside us in order to be happy, but in truth, it works the other way: we must learn to contact our inner source of happiness and satisfaction and flow it outward to share with others-not because it is virtuous to do so, but because it really feels good.” Shakti Gawain
5. “We all have within us a deep sense of what we need, and what is right and true for us. To access this we need to pay attention to our feelings and our intuition. We need to learn to listen deeply to ourselves and to trust what we hear. And we need to risk acting on what we feel to be true. Even if we make mistakes, we must do this in order to learn and grow.” Shakti Gawain
6. “Ambition is an idol, on whose wings great minds are carried only to extreme; to be sublimely great or to be nothing.” Shakti Gawain
7. “Change happens not by trying to make yourself change, but by becoming conscious of what’s not working.” Shakti Gawain
8. “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
9. “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
10. “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.” Shakti Gawain
11. “Assertiveness is not what you do, it’s who you are!” Shakti Gawain
12. “In order to heal themselves, people must recognize, first, that they have an inner guidance deep within and, second, that they can trust it.” Shakti Gawain
13. “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.” Shakti Gawain
14. “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.” Shakti Gawain
15. “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.” Shakti Gawain
16. “My primary relationship is with myself- all others are mirrors of it. As I learn to love myself, I automatically receive the love and appreciation that I desire from others. If I am committed to myself and to living my truth, I will attract others with equal commitment.” Shakti Gawain
17. “Every one of us comes into this life with lessons to learn and gifts to give.” Shakti Gawain
18. “The more light you allow within you, the brighter the world you live in will be.” Shakti Gawain
19. “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
20. “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.” Shakti Gawain
21. “While prosperity is in some ways related to money, it is not caused by money.” Shakti Gawain
22. “Every time you don’t follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of energy, loss of power, a sense of spiritual deadness.” Shakti Gawain
23. “All of us as human beings are connected by one energy and consciousness. So we all affect each other and everything that’s happening in the world affects us individually. And what we’re each doing as an individual affects what’s going on in the world.” Shakti Gawain
24. “Our bodies communicate to us clearly and specifically, if we are willing to listen to them.” Shakti Gawain
25. “We always attract into our lives whatever we think about most, believe in most strongly, expect on the deepest level, and imagine most vividly.” Shakti Gawain
26. “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.” Shakti Gawain
27. “Anything in life that we don’t accept will simply make trouble for us until we make peace with it.” Shakti Gawain
28. “Every moment of your life is infinitely creative and the universe is endlessly bountiful.” Shakti Gawain
29. “My willingness to be intimate with my own deep feelings creates the space for intimacy with another.” Shakti Gawain
30. “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.” Shakti Gawain
31. “It does not always help to analyze and think about problems with your rational mind. Sometimes it is far more effective to turn to your inner self, to ask the universe for help. Simply sit quietly. Take a few deep breaths and focus your awareness within. Ask your wise inner self, either silently or aloud, for guidance or help in understanding the message. As you get a sense of what feels right, act on this feeling.” Shakti Gawain
32. “To enjoy your goals, think of them as signposts, pointing you in a certain direction. They give you a focus and help your energy to get moving. The way you go is up to you; you can get very uptight focusing only on getting to your goal or you can relax and enjoy the entire journey, appreciating every unexpected bend and turn of the road, every new opportunity for learning and feeling.” Shakti Gawain
33. “Receiving and giving are opposite energies that are inextricably linked together in the natural flow of life, like inhaling and exhaling. If one aspect of that cycle doesn’t function, the entire cycle ceases to function and the life force cannot move freely. If you can’t inhale, you will soon have nothing to exhale, and before long, your body will be unable to continue living.” Shakti Gawain
34. “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
35. “Most of us have considerable prosperity in our lives. Often, we are so busy pursuing our unmet desires that we are unable to enjoy all that we already have. Allowing ourselves to really appreciate the prosperity we have created is a big step toward opening to even greater fulfillment.” Shakti Gawain
