Are you searching for deeper meaning and purpose in your life? Do you sense that you have an inner wisdom that can be a guiding force for you, yet wonder how to connect with that intuitive self? How do you know which inner voices to listen to?
For over thirty years, Shakti Gawain has helped readers address these questions. Living in the Light has given literally millions of people clear and gentle guidance to create a new way of life — one in which we listen to our intuition and rely on it as a guiding force. The key lies in bringing the light of our awareness to every aspect of ourselves, including our disowned energies — our shadow side.
With great insight and clarity, Shakti shows us the transformative power of bringing awareness to every part of ourselves. Simple yet powerful exercises on subjects including creativity, relationships, parenting, health, money, and transforming the world help us put these teachings to practical use in our daily lives.
Living in the Light is a comprehensive map to growth, fulfillment, and consciousness. As we grapple with personal, national, and global challenges on many fronts, this classic work is timelier than ever.

About the Author
Shakti Gawain is a pioneer in the field of personal growth and consciousness. She leads workshops internationally and has helped thousands of people to develop greater awareness, balance, and wholeness in their lives. Shakti, an only child, was brought up in a highly academic environment, and both her parents were atheists. When one of her love relationships broke up, she was left in a deep existential crisis and searched for the true purpose of life.
During a trip to India, Shakti became impressed with the culture and the religious beliefs she encountered. A self-proclaimed workaholic, she suddenly lost interest in material things and gave away all her possessions except those she could fit into a small canvass bag. She says she realized that, along the way, we will be given the things we truly need.
Shakti’s many best-selling books have sold more than six million copies in 30 languages worldwide. Creative Visualization teaches personal growth methods that are easy to incorporate into daily life. Living in the Light introduces readers to a new way of life in which we listen to and rely on our intuition. Nataraj Publishing is a division of New World Library, which Shakti co-founded.

Give Yourself a Great Start To The New Year
Looking ahead to the New Year and how you expect it to unfold, can be tempting to get absorbed in whatever is currently trending, or whatever is “doom-ing and gloom-ing” at the moment.

“Weight-Train” Your Brain
I have a new cell phone. I didn’t want a new cell phone; I was perfectly happy with my 2020 cell phone, but it wasn’t happy with me. Its connector charging port was ailing. Failing, actually, the service tech told me. And besides, it was an old phone, what did I expect? Old? This to a woman who is more than content, read “thrilled,” to wear outdated fashions just because she likes them. And would willingly keep computers way past their supposed “shelf life.” Sigh. OK, fine,
