What If Everything We Need to Know Is Already in Our Hearts?
A woman in touch with her sacred nature is a force to be reckoned with
I was four months pregnant with my second child, sitting alone in a sea of other people at a women’s business conference, when my entire life changed in an instant.
My objectives that day were simple and clear: I was there to network and win new corporate clients for the employee engagement consulting company I owned. I accomplished neither of those objectives.
Instead, I listened to a beautiful woman named Elizabeth Kapu’uwailani Lindsey speak about a group of Polynesian explorers I’d never heard of before. She called them “wayfinders,” and described how they began training to become navigators as little children. With the guidance of thousands of years of teachings, mostly passed down orally, they could navigate between islands using only their intuition and their ability to interpret the wind, stars, birds, and the ocean itself.
“They found their way by listening and watching,” she said. “So much so that they could sail thousands of miles by simply observing the way the waves broke across the front of the boat.”
