Gawain offers this collection of simple exercises for accessing and employing "a universal, intelligent life force that exists within everyone and everything" through daily meditation. Such practice, she claims, can singlehandedly "point us in the direction we need to go at any given moment," "keep us safe" and "connect us to the soul level of our existence." Unlike instinct, which, Gawain says, protects survival and procreation, intuition promotes "growth, development, self-expression, and higher purpose." She recommends balancing intellect, instinct and intuition, rather than relying too heavily on any one of them. As always, Gawain's conversational prose is clear and uncomplicated, her mood easy and low-key; and, by now, her concepts are acceptably mainstream. She shows her readers how to distinguish the "voice" of intuition, trust it, interpret its messages and receive insight on questions and problems involving work, money, health and emotional issues. |
How Healing Ourselves Can Change The World What thoughts, feelings, fears and visions arise when reflecting upon your personal future? What thoughts, feelings, fears and visions arise when reflecting upon the future of our planet? These very issues are explored herein. When one commits to personal growth and change, one has the power to transform their own life. "As we grow, evolve and expand our consciousness, individually and collectively, the old forms we have created no longer fit" (page 15). Real change takes time. This means that we must have patience and compassion for ourselves and others. Most people who select this book have already come to the realization that the time for transformation within their own personal lives is now. Likewise for this remarkable world in which we live. Questions, however, begin to arise. "How can we support and contribute to that process? How can we do our part, as individuals, to make sure it's going in a positive direction? How do we create real change in our personal lives and in the world?" (page 21). The answer is, in fact, a very simple and uncomplicated one. By becoming more conscious on an individual level, one brings about the positive change(s) that are needed. "Our lives become more balanced, more fulfilling, and more in alignment with our soul's purpose" (page 22). Much like a pebble that is dropped into the stillness of the pond, "the shifts of consciousness we make in our personal lives send out small but important waves that ripple through the whole world" (page 22). As we grow in our own personal awareness, the mass consciousness also begins to shift accordingly. All of us play an integral and active part in creating our own reality. In essence, we can create the kind of world that we wish to experience. We have the ability to co-create with our Creator. This means, then, that we take full responsibilty for our own life experiences. Upon recognizing "that the difficulties and imbalances in our lives are reflections of our own unconscious patterns" (page 25), we come to the complete understanding that by becoming more conscious of our thoughts, feelings and actions, we have a most powerful tool to affect the changes that are both needed and necessary. In creating our own reality, we also participate in creating the world reality. "Whatever attitudes and beliefs are held most deeply and powerfully in the mass consciousness will, for better or worse, be manifested in the collective reality of the world. Unresolved conflict and pain, held in the consciousness of millions of people the world over can … get reflected back to us in war, in violence in our cities, and in our collective disregard for the rights of other human beings and the well-being of the Earth" (page 31). We have a role to play in bringing about a positive change in the mass consciousness reality; a role that begins within the very soul of each of us. "It takes a relatively small number of souls moving into alignment with universal faces to have a great impact on our global reality" (page 32). Through the individual efforts of each of us, we can truly affect a significant change. This book will guide you in learning to take action toward conscious growth. |

A Guide to Personal and Planetary Transformation |
Best-known for her classic, Creative Visualization, Gawain offers here a larger outlook on prosperity, one beyond the normal limits of money. She first examines three perspectives on prosperity: materialistic philosophy, New Age thought, and a transcendent spiritual viewpoint. On the level of the individual, true prosperity means balance, personal satisfaction and fulfilling relationships. Integral to this experience of prosperity is the balancing of polarities: active and receptive, giving and receiving, doing and being. The author, a casual yet careful reader, delivers her material with gentleness, humor and com-passion. |
