Soul-to-soul contact sweeps through, like a tsunami, leaving in its wake just this: unconditional surrender and overwhelming gentleness.

Of all the things I wish for her, above all, I want her to know and love the sea.
The feeling of freedom and scent of sea air are intoxicating. As the wind picks up, I gain speed, holding on to life with a capital L
A wide-angle view of sails sparkling white against a cobalt sky as light dances, silver on the water. Like art, it soothes the edge, allowing you to see something simple from a different perspective.
I took up windsurfing to explore my own courage.
If you didn’t fall down, you would never have learned how to pick yourself up.
Every misfortune is a blessing in disguise.
My former identity was lying around, somewhere, fragmented and buried, like shards from an earlier civilization.
Unraveling life lessons from just the past few years would take many more years. Lessons unlearned would pass with me, when I went through that door, to be completed in some future lifetime.
The human psyche is a self-correcting mechanism.
The only sharks I’m afraid of are the ones that wear three-piece suits and write memos.
Each of us has more intelligence than we are trained to use and the part that we get graded on in school doesn’t amount to much
In its failure to value differences in the way people learn, the educational process often suppresses intuition, creativity, and your sense of identity.
Finding your own metaphor for intuition is one of the best ways to give it form, an essential step in developing your intuitive thinking.
Intuitive knowing can be described as an openness to flashes of insight
The part of your mind that believes intuitive knowing to be impossible is that part of your mind for which it is impossible.
Learning to locate your own gut response is essential if you are to be able to identify and acknowledge your intuition.
The key to developing your intuition is developing your self-observation skills.
Opening up to your intuition represents a commitment to pay closer attention to how you think and feel.
Belief is the basis of intuitive behavior.
Believing is essential when changing any behavior
Whether you are at play in the fields of the Lord or standing next to home plate squinting at the popping pitcher, that sudden, immediate knowing can also help you envision the outcome.
Whether you job involves chasing criminals, crouching numbers, or wrestling with paperwork, learning how to recognize and rely on those hunches and gut feelings can dramatically improve your job performance.
When your intuition is right, thank the part of you that knows how to do that truly remarkable job.
To develop your intuition, you need to respect it as a natural intelligence.
An intuitive insight or concept can often turn out to be an unexpected success.
Instead of vacillating, we need to value, acknowledge and trust our intuition for what it is, a sense of truth.
Intuition is a gift, an inner power that you can turn to whenever you need it.
Trusting your inner voice, which is one of the critical steps in developing intuition, is predicated on being truly self-confident.
Each of us has more intelligence than we are trained to use and the part that we get graded on in school doesn’t amount to much.
Cosmic consciousness is the next level of holistic perception.
Brain waves are like personal handwriting.
The brain waves of ordinary people during insight experiences are unique. Their brains are in special states.
Try to become aware of one feeling a day, keeping in mind that by doing so, you are building your data bank of self-knowledge
Self-trust firms up your inner territory and grounds you with solid premises for believing in who you are.
When in doubt, reinforce your self-trust.
The fact that establishment scientists say something doesn’t exist doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It only means that science has no effective way to measure it.
Where are you?’‘I am between the light and the waves.
Windsurfing, the sound of the word contains all the mystery of a solitary buoy in the fog, echoing across the water at the end of the day.
I let go of all that does not serve me with gentleness and ease.
