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

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.

Our primary relationship is really with ourselves. Our relationships with other people constantly reflect exactly where we are in the process.

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

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.

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.

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