Helping, fixing, and serving represent three different ways of seeing life. When you help, you see life as weak. When you fix, you see life as broken. When you serve, you see life as whole. Fixing and helping may be the work of the ego, and service the work of the soul.
No matter what the issue is, don’t try to justify why you don’t feel good. And don’t try to justify why you should feel differently. Don’t try to blame whatever it is you think the reason is that’s keeping you from feeling good. All of that is wasted effort. Just try to feel better right now.
The act of revealing oneself fully to another and still being accepted may be the major vehicle of therapeutic help.
Do not try to fix whatever comes in your life. Fix yourself in such a way that whatever comes, you will be fine.
Music is the medicine of the mind.
Healing is an inside job.
The greatest step towards a life of happiness and simplicity is to let go. Trust in the power that is already taking care of you spontaneously without effort.
Let go of what has passed. Let go of what may come. Let go of what is happening now. Don’t try to figure anything out. Don’t try to make anything happen. Relax, right now, and rest.
Pray, hope and don’t worry. Anxiety doesn’t help at all. Our Merciful Lord will listen to your prayer.
The body is a self-healing organism, so it’s really about clearing things out of the way so the body can heal itself.
Lean on me, when you’re not strong and I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on.
Radical acceptance rests on letting go of the illusion of control and a willingness to notice and accept things as they are right now, without judging.
People start to heal the moment they feel heard.
Heal the soul first; then healing of the mind and body will follow.
The parent-child connection is the most powerful mental health intervention known to mankind.
Memories are links in a golden chain that bind us until we meet again.
Still the mind. Inhale peace. Let go of worries. Exhale stress. Notice the breath. Connect to all. Embrace calm.
It’s ok to not be ok, but it’s not ok to stay that way.
The only way we can change our lives is to change our energy – to change the electromagnetic field we are constantly broadcasting. In other words, to change our state of being, we have to change how we think and how we feel.
Life is amazing. And then it’s awful. And then it’s amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it’s ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That’s just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it’s breathtakingly beautiful.
