Living in the Light: A Guide to Personal and Planetary Transformation

Shakti Gawain teaches that each person has an inner voice, which she calls intuition, and that following it leads to a fuller life. She offers simple practices such as listening to the body, paying attention to feelings, and working with the idea of a masculine and feminine energy in the self. Chapters discuss how to deal with fear, relationships, work, and creativity, with exercises for each. The book came out of the human potential movement of the 1980s.

Readers looking for an early, gentle guide to intuition and self-trust will find a lot of short exercises. It is aimed at people who want a practical spiritual outlook without heavy theory.

Inward-looking; an easy read.
