Shakti Gawain author of LIVING IN THE LIGHT & CREATIVE VISUALIZATION answers the question, "How does the aging process factor into consciousness work?" on this short video that was filmed in her home during the summer of 2012.
Years ago I read Living in the Light by Shakti Gawain and loved it. I gave the book to my mom who called me when she finished reading it and said, “That’s the way you live YOUR life!”
The people in our lives who make us uncomfortable, who annoy us, who we feel judgmental or even combative toward, reflect parts of ourselves that we reject -- usually aspects of our disowned selves, the shadow side of our personality.
Our bodies communicate to us clearly and specifically, if we are willing to listen.

By acknowledging and honoring any feeling—no matter how “unacceptable” we might have previously judged it to be—we create space for its opposite.
If we learn to see our relationships as the wonderfully accurate mirrors they are, revealing to us where we need to go with our own inner process, we can see much about ourselves that we would otherwise have a great deal of difficulty learning.
We all instinctively understand the basic functions of feminine and masculine energies, but we may not realize that they both exist in each person. More often we tend to associate male and female energies with their respective body types.

We will discover the nature of our particular genius when we stop trying to conform to our own and other’s people’s models, learn to be ourselves and allow our natural channel to open.
I was reading metaphysical books and going to workshops, and one of the ones I attended was on creative visualization—learning to use your natural creative imagination in a more conscious way to create what you really want.
The images we visualize serve as blueprints for events that manifest in our lives.
Our bodies communicate to us clearly and specifically, if we are willing to listen.
