People Are Often Very Frightened Of Their Anger. They Feel It Will Cause Them To Do Something Harmful. If You Have This Fear, Create A Safe Situation Where You Can Express Your Anger, Alone Or With A Trusted Therapist Or Friend. Allow Yourself To Talk Angrily, Shout, Hit Pillows, Whatever You Feel Like. Once You've Done This In A Safe Environment, You Will Have Released Some Of The Charge, And You Can Look Underneath The Anger To Find What You Need To Do To Take Better Care Of Yourself. Like Any Emotion, Anger Is A Valuable Tool, Teaching Us Who We Are And How We Feel.

More From 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."

The More Light You Allow Within You, The Brighter The World You Live In Will Be.

Many Times People Can Access That Being Stage More Fully And More Easily If At First You Are Actually Doing Something. If You Run, Or Dance, Or Do Something Kind Of Vigorous, And Let The Energy Release, Then Sometimes It's Easier To Sit Or Lie Down And Then Feel At Ease And Rest And Be Quiet And Move Inside.

My Inner Guidance Is There For Me To Call On Anytime I Need Or Want Extra Clarity, Wisdom, Knowledge, Support, Creative Inspiration, Love, Or Companionship.

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.

I Believe That Everybody Needs To Tell Their Story - To Be Heard, To Be Seen, To Be Acknowledged, To Be Understood. We All Want That, Deep Down Inside - And Writing A Book Is A Great Way To Make Sense Of Your Own Experience And To Share It With Others.

Our Bodies Communicate To Us Clearly And Specifically, If We Are Willing To Listen To Them.

Creative Visualization

We All Have Within Us A Deep Wisdom, But Sometimes We Don't Know We Have It. We Live In A Culture That Doesn't Acknowledge Or Validate Human Intuition And Doesn't Encourage Us To Rely On Our Intuitive Wisdom. Much Of The Western World Emphasizes Rationality And Reason, But Overlooks Or Ignores The Enormous Value Of Intuition And Instinctive Wisdom.

Anything In Life That We Don't Accept Will Simply Make Trouble For Us Until We Make Peace With It.

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.

Everyone We Attract Into Our Life Is A Mirror For Us In Certain Ways. All Of Our Relationships Reflect Certain Parts Of Us. We All Attract Certain People Into Our Life Who Have Developed Qualities Opposite To The Ones We Are Most Identified With. In Other Words, They Mirror Our Disowned Selves, And We Mirror Theirs.

There Is No Separation Between Us And God-we Are Divine Expressions Of The Creative Principle...there Can Be No Real Lack Or Scarcity; There Is Nothing We Have To Try To Achieve Or Attract; We Contain The Potential For Everything Within Us.

When I'm Trusting And Being Myself As Fully As Possible, Everything In My Life Reflects This By Falling Into Place Easily, Often Miraculously.

The Universe Will Pay You To Be Yourself And Do What You Really Love.

... Consciousness Is An Ever-unfolding, Deepening, And Expanding Process With No End Point. We Are Infinite And Complex Beings, And Our Human Journey Involves Not Just A Spiritual Awakening, But The Development Of All Levels Of Our Being - Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, And Physical - And The Integration Of All These Aspects Into A Healthy And Balanced Daily Life.

The Very Actions Themselves Can Be A Meditation. For Me, Walking Is Certainly A Meditation If I Walk For Awhile. First My Mind Is Busy And I'm Thinking About Different Things And After A While That Starts To Fall Away And I Start To Become Very Present In The Moment. And That Feeling Of Being Present In The Moment Is Being. That's When We Know We're Connecting With Being Energy.

I'm Especially Interested In Relationships Since That Is A Part Of Life That Causes Enormous Pain For Many People.

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.

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.

I Do Believe That One Of The Major Ways That We're Out Of Alignment With Our Souls Is In Our Disconnect From Nature. I Feel That We Have Kind Of Lost Our Natural Way Of Being Connected To The Planet. We Need To Be Rooted On The Planet. We Experience Ourselves As Kind Of Isolated From That, And I Actually Think That's A Great Cause Of The Suffering That Many Of Us Are Experiencing, Whether Consciously Or Unconsciously.

As We Begin To Love And Appreciate Ourselves As We Are, Our Channels Open And We Access The Infinite Vitality Of Life Force.

Healing Ourselves On The Spiritual Level Involves Developing A Strong Connection With Our Soul. We Heal Ourselves On The Mental Level As We Become Aware Of Our Core Beliefs, Release Those That Limit Us, And Open To More Supportive Ideas And Greater Understanding. Emotional Healing Takes Place As We Learn To Accept And Experience The Full Range Of Our Feelings. And We Heal Ourselves On The Physical Level When We Learn To Honor And Care For Our Bodies, And For The Physical World Around Us.

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.

You Can Love Other People Only To The Degree That You've Come To Love And Accept Yourself

Accepting Yourself

The More We Learn To Operate In The World Based On Trust In Our Intuition, The Stronger Our Channel Will Be And The More Money We Will Have.

Every Moment Presents A New Opportunity And A New Decision.

Everything In The Universe Wants To Be Loved And Accepted. Our Personal Work Is To Find The Love And Acceptance Within Ourselves.

You Create Your Opportunities By Asking For Them.

In Order To Cause A Shadow To Disappear, You Must Shine Light On It.

My True Relationship Is With Myself - All Others Are Simply Mirrors Of It.

True Relationship

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.

Pursuit Of Happiness

Problems Are Messages.

Imagining What You Want As If It Already Exists Opens The Door To Letting It Happen.

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.

This Morning Take A Few Minutes To Reflect On How You Give Of Yourself To The World. Often We Get Caught Up In The Frenzy Of Buying And Giving Things. Look At The Ways You Give Appreciation, Friendship, Energy, Time, Love, And Affection, And Give Of Your Own Special Talents And Abilities Throughout The Year. Acknowledge Yourself For Having Enriched The Lives Of Others. Spend Some Time Loving Yourself For The Giving Light That You Are.

Loving Yourself

Not Being In Touch With Your Vulnerability And Not Learning To Own It And Accept It And Be Comfortable With It Leaves You In A Position Where You're Liable To Look At And Judge Other People For Being Vulnerable Because They're Reflecting That Part Of Yourself That You're Not Comfortable With.

Poverty On Both A Personal And Worldwide Level Is Supported By Our Collective Belief In Scarcity.

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.

The Process Of Change Does Not Occur On Superficial Levels, Through Mere 'positive Thinking.' It Involves Exploring, Discovering, And Changing Our Deepest, Most Basic Attitudes Toward Life.

Positive Thinking

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.

There Is A Natural Rhythm To The Active And Receptive Energies Within Us. At Times Our Energy Is Strong And Outgoing - It Is Time To Pursue Our Goals, Take Risks, Get Things Accomplished. At Other Times, Our Energy Is Quiet And Sensitive, And We Need To Take Time To Nurture Ourselves, Relax, And Just 'be' For A While. As We Trust And Follow This Rhythm, We Attract Everything We Need And Create Everything We Truly Desire.

Much Of The Western World Emphasizes Rationality And Reason, But Overlooks Or Ignores The Enormous Value Of Intuition And Instinctive Wisdom.

The Body Is Our Primary Feedback Mechanism Which Can Show Us What Is And Isn't Working About Our Ways Of Thinking, Expressing, And Living. As We Live Our Truth More Fully And Freely, Our Body Grows Healthier, Stronger, And More Beautiful.

Your Intuition Will Most Likely Push You Gently Toward Taking Some Appropriate Risks And Trying New Things.

Our Primary Relationship Is Really With Ourselves. Our Relationships With Other People Constantly Reflect Exactly Where We Are In The Process.

Relationships With Others

Our Relationship

I Believe We Are All Geniuses-each In Our Own Unique Way.

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.

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.

The More Willing You Are To Surrender To The Energy Within You, The More Power Can Flow Through You.

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.

An Affirmation Is A Strong, Positive Statement That Something Is Already So.

If You Are Always Waiting To Be, Do, Or Have What You Want, Your Energy Becomes Blocked. Your Body May Reflect This In Excess Weight Or Other Physical Problems. Express Yourself Directly. Set Clear Boundaries With Other People And Do What You Need To Do To Take Good Care Of Yourself. Energy Will Then Move Freely Through Your Body And This Circulation Will Dissolve Any Excess Weight. The More You Are Willing To Be Yourself, The Less You'll Need To Use Food As A Substitute Nurturer. You Will Be Receiving The Natural Nurturing Of The Universe.

Assertiveness Is Not What You Do, It's Who You Are!

Many Of Us Have Had The Attitude That Life Is Something That Happens To Us And That All We Can Do Is Make The Best Of It. It Is Basically A Victim's Position, Giving Power To People And Things Outside Of Ourselves. We Are Beginning To Realize That The Power Rests In Us, That We Can Choose To Create Our Life The Way We Want It To Be.

If I Could Identify One Core Problem About The World, It's That We've Been Taught To Distrust Ourselves.

Our Relationship To Money Reflects How We Feel About Our Power To Affect The World. Since Money Is A Mirror Of Our Consciousness, The More Comfortable We Are With Being Powerful, The More Money We Are Likely To Create In Our Lives.

May You Be Blessed With Everything Your Heart Desires.

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.

Creative Power Has To Filter Through Our Beliefs, Attitudes, Emotions, And Habits. The More Negative And Constricted Our Beliefs And Patterns Are, The More They Block The Creative Energy. Most People Hope That By Ignoring Negativity, It Will Go Away, But The Reverse Is Actually True. Through Recognizing, Acknowledging, And Experiencing It, The Blocked Energy Can Be Released. You Are Then Free To Replace It With Positive Beliefs And Attitudes.

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.

We All Have Within Us A Deep Wisdom, But Sometimes We Don't Know We Have It.

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.

Many Of Us Fear That We Are Not Attractive Or Desirable Enough To Attract Others. We Have Believed That We Are "not Enough." Today Let's Remind Ourselves That We All Receive Our Beauty, Energy, And Light From The Same Inexhaustible Source. As We Acknowledge This And Begin To Love And Appreciate Ourselves As We Are, Our Channel Opens And We Have Available To Us The Infinite Vitality, Beauty, And Magnetism Of The Life Force.

I Am Convinced That Life In A Physical Body Is Meant To Be An Ecstatic Experience

We Are Attracted To People Who Express The Qualities We Deny Or Repress In Ourselves.

If You Are Feeling Tired Or Ill, Rest. Your Body Will Always Want Rest And Ease If It's Sick. When You Become Quiet, Ask Your Body What You Need To Do In Order To Heal Yourself. Your Body May Tell You To Change Certain Habits, Eat More Wholesome Food, Express Some Feelings, Quit Your Job, See A Doctor, Or It May Have Some Other Message For You, But There Is Always An Answer Available To You. The Key Is To Ask And Then Listen Honestly For A Response.

The People We Are In Relationships With Are Always A Mirror, Reflecting Our Own Beliefs, And Simultaneously We Are Mirrors, Reflecting Their Beliefs.

Creative Visualization

People Who Really Want To Be In A Relationship Are In One.

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.

Many Of Us Have A Tendency To Deny Any Negative Feelings. We Judge Them As "bad" Or "unenlightened" When, In Fact, They Are Our Stepping Stone To Enlightenment. Our So-called Negative Feelings Or Attitudes Are Really Parts Of Ourselves That Need Recognition, Love, And Healing. Not Only Is It Safe And Healthy To Acknowledge And Accept All Of Our Feelings And Beliefs, It Is Necessary, If We Are To Get In Touch With The Fears And Pockets Of Blocked Energy That Are Holding Us Back From What We Want.

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.

Evil (ignorance) Is Like A Shadow-- It Has No Real Substance Of Its Own, It Is Simply A Lack Of Light. You Cannot Cause A Shadow To Disappear By Trying To Fight It, Stamp On It, By Railing Against It, Or Any Other Form Of Emotional Or Physical Resistance. In Order To Cause A Shadow To Disappear, You Must Shine Light On It

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.

The Universe Will Reward You For Taking Risks On Its Behalf.

We Have To Get Good At Being With Ourselves Before We Can Hope To Be Good At Being In Relationships With Others.

Relationships With Others

The More We Have Given To Ourselves, The More We Have To Give To Others. When We Find That Place Within Ourselves That Is Giving, We Begin To Create An Outward Flow. Giving To Others Comes Not From A Sense Of Sacrifice, Self-righteousness, Or Spirituality, But For The Pure Pleasure Of It, Because It's Fun. Giving Can Only Come From A Full, Loving Space.

The Mind Is The Enemy Of Intuition, According To Many New Age Adherents, But I Don't Buy That. I Look At Everything In Terms Of Polarities - Two Ends Of The Same Continuum. Young/old, Male/female, Individuality/conformity, Work/play, Freedom/constraint, Right/left, Day/night, Life/death, Rational/emotional, And So On.

The Best Way I Have Found To Follow My True Desires Is To Pay Attention To My Intuitive Sense. We All Have Great Wisdom Within Us, A Part Of Us That Knows Exactly What We Need At Every Moment. We Are Born With This Intuitive Sense, But Most Of Us Are Quickly Taught To Distrust And Ignore It. We Have To Relearn Something That Should Come Naturally. Fortunately, It's Not Too Difficult; It Just Takes Some Practice.

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.

We Shouldn't Ignore Any Guidance That Comes From The Mind - We Should Listen To Our Minds And Balance Mental Messages With Intuitive Messages. We Need Both To Navigate Our Way Through Life.

Through Lovingly Embracing The Full Range Of Our Experience- Human And Divine- We Can Heal The Split That Existed Between The Spirit And The Form, In Ourselves Individually And In The Whole World.

While No Amount Of Financial Wealth Can Guarantee An Experience Of Prosperity, It Is Possible To Experience Prosperity At Almost Any Level Of Income, Except When We Are Unable To Meet Our Basic Physical Needs.

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.

Be Willing To Take Some Risks In The Areas Of Work And Money. If We Do Only What We Think We Should Do In Order To Make Money And Be Secure, We Won't Listen To The Intuitive Voice That Tells Us To Try Something New, To Be More Creative, Or To Move On To The Next Step On Our Path. When We Listen To Our Intuition And Take Some Risks, We Are Not Alone. The Universe Will Support Us And Reward Us For Taking Risks On Its Behalf!

No Scoundrel Is So Stupid As To Not Find A Reason For His Vile Conduct.

There Is A Universal, Intelligent, Life Force That Exists Within Everyone And Everything. It Resides Within Each One Of Use As A Deep Wisdom, An Inner Knowing. We Can Access This Wonderful Source Of Knowledge And Wisdom Through Our Intuition, An Inner Sense That Tells Us What Feels Right And True For Us At Any Given Moment.

Individually And Collectively, We Are Shifting From A Position Of Fear Into Surrender And Trust Of The Intuitive. The Power Of The Feminine Energy Is On The Rise In Our World.

The Disowned Parts Of Ourselves Are What Get In The Way Of Us Having The Relationships We Long For, The Careers We Don't Know How To Create, And The Goals We Want To Achieve. It Is By Getting In Touch With All The Parts Of Ourselves - By Having A Gentle Dialogue With All The "selves" We Have Inside - That We Integrate Them Into A More Comfortable, Peaceful Way Of Being With Ourselves.

My Willingness To Be Intimate With My Own Deep Feelings Creates The Space For Intimacy With Another.

Loving Yourself

Notice What Happens When You Doubt, Suppress, Or Act Contrary To Your Feelings. You Will Observe Decreased Energy, Powerless Or Helpless Feelings, And Physical Or Emotional Pain. Now Notice What Happens When You Follow Your Intuitive Feelings. Usually The Result Is Increased Energy And Power And A Sense Of Natural Flow. When You're At One With Yourself, The World Feels Peaceful, Exciting, And Magical.

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.

When We Consistently Suppress And Distrust Our Intuitive Knowingness, Looking Instead For Authority, Validation, And Approval From Others, We Give Our Personal Power Away.

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.

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.

Change Happens Not By Trying To Make Yourself Change, But By Becoming Conscious Of What's Not Working.

As Human Beings We Have Vulnerabilities. We Also Have Power, But We Can't Just Be Powerful All The Time.

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.

Our Negative Thoughts Are Valuable Messages To Us About Our Deeper Fears And Negative Attitudes. These Usually Are So Basic To Our Thinking And Feeling That We Don't Realize They Are Beliefs At All. We Assume That They Are Simply "the Way Life Is." We May Be Consciously Affirming And Visualizing Prosperity, But If Our Unconscious Belief Is That We Don't Deserve It, Then We Won't Create It. Once We Become Aware Of Our Core Negative Beliefs, They Begin To Heal.

Following Our Inner Guidance May Feel Risky And Frightening At First, Because We Are No Longer Playing It Safe, Doing What We 'should' Do, Pleasing Others, Following Rules, Or Deferring To Outside Authority.

Pleasing Others

Playing It Safe

The Way To A Beautiful, Strong, Healthy Body Is To Start By Trusting Yourself Right Now. Let Go Of The Struggle And Surrender To Your Body's Needs. Your Intuition Will Tell You What To Eat. It May Direct You To Exercise Vigorously, In Which Case You'll Enjoy It, Or It May Tell You To Slow Down And Rest. It May Tell You To Stay In Bed All Day, Or It May Tell You To Get Up Early. There Are No Rigid Rules. Your Body Knows Perfectly Well What's Good For It.

All Our Relationships, Especially The Deep Ones, Stir Up The Deepest Issues For Us That We Need To Confront And Work With.

Our Relationship

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.

The Union Of Feminine And Masculine Energies Within The Individual Is The Basis Of All Creation.

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.

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.

As Long As We Focus On The Outside, There Will Always Be That Empty, Hungry, Lost Place Inside That Needs To Be Filled.

A Deadness Occurs In Relationships When People Are No Longer Willing To Tell Each Other How They Really Feel. When People First Fall In Love They're More Willing To Do This Because They're Still Getting To Know Each Other And Dependency Has Not Yet Set In. As Soon As It Does, Though, People Often Stop Sharing Their True Feelings Out Of Fear Of Loss.

Falling In Love

What I Am Actually Saying Is That We Need To Be Willing To Let Our Intuition Guide Us, And Then Be Willing To Follow That Guidance Directly And Fearlessly.

If You Constantly Think Of Illness, You Eventually Become Ill; If You Believe Yourself To Be Beautiful, You Become So.

Every Moment Of Your Life Is Infinitely Creative And The Universe Is Endlessly Bountiful

Law Of Attraction

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.

I Think That Everything In The World Around Us Is A Reflection Of What Is Going On Inside Of Us. So Each Of Us As An Individual Creates A Life - We Draw To Us Certain People And Events And Circumstances That Reflect What's Going On Inside Of Us, So We Can Literally Look At Our Life And See A Mirror Of Our Own Consciousness. And If That's True On An Individual Level, It's Also True That What's Going On In The World In A Bigger Way Is A Reflection Of The Collective Consciousness.

One Of The Reasons There May Be A Trend Toward Moving Out Of The Cities, Again, It May Be Conscious Or It May Be Unconscious, But It Is A Desire To Connect More With Nature. And With The Natural Rhythms. We [people] Need That! We've Been Missing It.

Mind And Intuition Are At Opposite Ends Of The Same Continuum And Our Goal Is To Strike A Healthy Balance Between The Two.

One Law Of Energy Is This: Energy Of A Certain Quality Or Vibration Tends To Attract Energy Of A Similar Quality And Vibration.

We Live In A Culture That Doesn't Acknowledge Or Validate Human Intuition And Doesn't Encourage Us To Rely On Our Intuitive Wisdom.

In Many Other Cultures, And Certainly In The Eastern World, There's Great Value Put On Being, Contemplating, And Even Withdrawing From The World At Certain Times Or For Certain Periods Of Time. But We Don't Really Have That In Our Culture, So It's Difficult For Many Westerners To Learn How To Sit Down Or Lie Down And Just Be Quiet Without Going To Sleep. We're Just Not Trained To Do It.

As I Learn To Love Myself, I Recieve The Love I Desire From Others.

Ambition Is An Idol, On Whose Wings Great Minds Are Carried Only To Extreme; To Be Sublimely Great Or To Be Nothing.

That Has Been My Personal Relationship With God-a Connection With The Powerful, Loving, Wise Energy In All Of Us, In All Creation. It Is The Life Force Itself. We Can All Have Contact With It Each Moment In Our Lives, But It Takes Commitment And Practice. We Must Be Willing To Move Through All Our Deepest Fears, Doubts, And Misunderstandings.

The Most Powerful Thing You Can Do To Change The World Is To Change Your Own Beliefs About The Nature Of Life, People, And Reality To Something More Positive... And Begin To Act Accordingly.

Listening To Your Internal Guidance System Will Lead To A Rich, Fulfilled, Happy Life. That's Been My Experience... And Millions Of Folks Can Attest To It In Their Own Lives As Well.

Notice What Happens When You Follow Your Intuitive Feelings. The Result Is Usually Increased Energy And Power, And A Sense Of Things Flowing.

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

While Prosperity Is In Some Ways Related To Money, It Is Not Caused By Money.

... My Life Has Been Dedicated To My Growth And Evolution As A Conscious Being. ... Becoming More Aware Of All That Was Taking Place Within Me And Around Me; How My Inner World Affected My Outer World And Vice Versa. I Realized That The More Awareness I Have, The More Choice I Have In How I Create Or Respond To The Circumstances Of My Life.

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.

Reflecting Back

If We Look Honestly At Our Relationships, We Can See So Much About How We Have Created Them

The Most Successful People Are Often Very Intuitive. Consciously Or Unconsciously, They Follow Their Gut Feelings. Following Intuition Puts Us In The Flow - A Very Alive, Productive, And Desirable State.

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.

Practice Following Your Intuition In Everyday Things, Trusting Your Gut Feelings Moment By Moment And Acting On Them As Best You Can. As You Learn To Trust Yourself In Smaller Matters, You Will Build Power And Confidence To Take Bigger Risks And Deal With The Larger Issues In Your Life Successfully.

Everyday Things

When You Truly Give Up Trying To Be Whole Through Others, You End Up Receiving What You Always Wanted From Others.

Learning To Trust Our Intuition Is An Art Form, And Like All Other Art Forms, It Takes Practice To Perfect.

Freedom And Relationship Are Polar Opposites - They Both Exist On The Same Continuum. You Do Want A Relationship - And You Do Want Freedom - What You Really Want Is Balance, You Want Wholeness.

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.

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.

The Key Point To Understand Is That Prosperity Is An Internal Experience, Not An External State, And It Is An Experience That Is Not Tied To Having A Certain Amount Of Money.

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 Commited To Myself And To Living My Truth, I Will Attract Others With Equal Commitment. My Willingness To Be Intimate With My Own Deep Feelings Creates The Space For Intimacy With Another.

Spirit Is The Essence Of Consciousness, The Energy Of The Universe That Creates All Things. Each One Of Us Is A Part Of That Spirit - A Divine Entity. So The Spirit Is The Higher Self, The Eternal Being That Lives Within Us.

When We Create Something, We Always Create It First In A Thought Form. If We Are Basically Positive In Attitude, Expecting And Envisioning Pleasure, Satisfaction And Happiness, We Will Attract And Create People, Situations, And Events Which Conform To Our Positive Expectations.

I Was Looking For What The Meaning Of Life Was.

Meaning Of Life

We Always Attract Into Our Lives Whatever We Think About Most, Believe In Most Strongly, Expect On The Deepest Level, And Imagine Most Vividly.

People Are Often Very Frightened Of Their Anger. They Feel It Will Cause Them To Do Something Harmful. If You Have This Fear, Create A Safe Situation Where You Can Express Your Anger, Alone Or With A Trusted Therapist Or Friend. Allow Yourself To Talk Angrily, Shout, Hit Pillows, Whatever You Feel Like. Once You've Done This In A Safe Environment, You Will Have Released Some Of The Charge, And You Can Look Underneath The Anger To Find What You Need To Do To Take Better Care Of Yourself. Like Any Emotion, Anger Is A Valuable Tool, Teaching Us Who We Are And How We Feel.

Safe Environment

When You See Beauty Anywhere, It's A Reflection Of Yourself.

Reflection Of Yourself

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.

True Healing Comes From Owning And Accepting All Of Life's Energies Within Ourselves....when They Are Allowed To Be Expressed, They Take Their Places As Important Facets Of Our Nature. There Is No Split Between 'good' And 'bad.'

We Avoid The Things That We're Afraid Of Because We Think There Will Be Dire Consequences If We Confront Them. But The Truly Dire Consequences In Our Lives Come From Avoiding Things That We Need To Learn About Or Discover.

We Are Living In A Very Exciting And Powerful Time. On The Deepest Level Of Consciousness, A Radical Spiritual Transformation Is Taking Place. I Believe That On A Worldwide Level, We Are Being Challenged To Let Go Of Our Present Way Of Life And Create An Entirely New One. We Are, In Fact, In The Process Of Destroying Our Old World And Building A New One In Its Place.

A Deadness Occurs In Relationships When People Are No Longer Willing To Tell Each Other How They Really Feel.

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.

Our "life Education" Has Not Necessarily Taught Us A Satisfying Way To Live. We Suffer From A Vague Sense That There Must Be Something More, Some Deeper Meaning. We Must Return To Kindergarten And Start To Learn A Way Of Life That Is Contrary To The Way We Approached Things Before-a Way Of Life Based On Trust Of Our Own Inner Truth. We Can Rediscover The Child-like Innocence And Wisdom That Knows That Anything Is Possible.
