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 GawainAs we begin to love and appreciate ourselves as we are, our channels open and we access the infinite vitality of life force.
Shakti GawainFollowing 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.
Shakti GawainEach 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 GawainIf I could identify one core problem about the world, it's that we've been taught to distrust ourselves.
Shakti GawainIf 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.
