Awareness born of love is the only force that can bring healing and renewal.

This is how love ripens us -- by warming us from within, inspiring us to break out of our shell, and lighting our way through the dark passage to new birth.

Envy is a brutal force of bad vibes sucking the love right out of your heart.

Six eternities and counting.

Yancy Lael - Soulful Skincare: The ultimate guide to radically transforming your complexion

Wash, wash, wash. Tone, tone, tone. Strip the oil, then add an oil-free moisturizer to replace the oil. This is how we've been taught to care for our skin. It seems a little crazy when you see it in print, right? Take all that oil out and add chemicals to replace it. Nuts!

Osho -

You don’t have any problems — only this much has to be understood. This very moment you can drop all problems. because they are your creations. Have another look at your problems: the deeper you look, the smaller they will appear. Go on looking at them and by and by they will start disappearing. Go on gazing and suddenly you will find there is emptiness — a beautiful emptiness surrounds you. Nothing to do, nothing to be, because you are already that.

Laura Hough - Allies in Healing: When the Person You Love Is a Survivor of Child Sexual Abuse

The healing process is best described as a spiral. Survivors go through the stages once, sometimes many times; sometimes in one order, sometimes in another. Each time they hit a stage again, they move up the spiral: they can integrate new information and a broader range of feelings, utilize more resources, take better care of themselves, and make deeper changes.” Allies in Healing by Laura Davis

Your emotions will enable you to reclaim the self you long ago hid away.

We cannot be damaged into health.

Diane M. Komp - Pediatric Oncologist -

The stories in this book link an ancient story with the children's stories. Rather than medical case reports based on certainty of what scientists currently understand, they are simply an attempt to be faithful to what I have heard. In this sense, they continue Jesus' commissioned work of revealing that there is a realm that we cannot yet fully understand. The greatest gift in my life has been in linking the ancient story and the children's stories to my own...As I sit by the beds of these child

Apollo -

That which wounds, shall heal.

Herbert M. Shelton - Rubies in the Sand

So long as the processes of healing were not understood and man thought that the power to heal resided in substances and things outside of him, he logically sought for extrinsic means of healing, and a healing art was a logical development. The system of medicine, as we know it today, was a logical development out of the fallacy that healing power resides in extrinsic sources.

Herbert M. Shelton - Rubies in the Sand

Substances that are injurious to the well are equally (or more so) injurious to the sick.

Charles L. Bailey Jr. - In the Shadow of the Cross

As I let it out, layer by layer, Dr. Driscoll helped with the bumps and valleys. He knew just how much to draw out of me and how much I could handle. He is such an expert in his profession. He told me that the guilt I was feeling was not guilt, but regret. Guilt is a good thing. It is a mechanism by which we shouldn't make the same mistake twice. If you do something questionable, then the next chance you get to do it, guilt should stop you. I had no guilt. I had regrets, many regrets, but no gui

Pema Chödrön - When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times

Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. When there's a big disappointment, we don't know if that's the end of the story.

Cheryl Strayed - Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail

This was once Mazama, I kept reminding myself. This was once a mountain that stood nearly 12,000 feet tall and then had its heart removed. This was once a wasteland of lava and pumice and ash. This was once an empty bowl that took hundreds of years to fill. But hard as I tried, I couldn't see them in my mind's eye. Not the mountain or the wasteland or the empty bowl. They simply were not there anymore. There was only the stillness and the silence of that water: what a mountain and a wasteland an

Lee Goff -

The Church is full of Hypocrites!" Yes, it is, and thank God for that, it means the church is doing its job.

Tom North - Mine and Ours"

Being in the depths of the ocean was like being in the womb, suspended in a liquid environment, listening to my own breathing and heartbeat. Whether it was the serenity and security of being surrounded by this living liquid, or the total distraction of the adventure of the unknown which took me far away from the daily weight of the child abuse and violence at home, I sank beneath the surface, and if only for those few moments, was free.
