"Most of your healing journey will be about unlearning the patterns of self-protection that once kept you safe."

"There are few things more destructive than thoughts believed without question."
Awareness
"As I think of myself, so I shall be."
Identity
"When I'm triggered, I think, "This will last forever" or "What if this lasts forever?" I get thoughts about how I should give up, run away, hide, protect myself. These thoughts, I cannot change. What I can change is how I respond to them. Will I unconditionally believe these ideas, or will I accept them as side effects of the temporary experience of pain? Will I act on each thought that arises in the burning fire, or will I hold myself gently and say, "It'll be okay. I know it hurts. I love you"? My power lies in these choices."
Mindfulness
"Those who love, truly love, can be coerced into nothing."
Freedom
"The mind, just like the body, becomes exactly what it is fed. While the body is nourished by food, the mind is nourished by thoughts."
Health
"We deny the same love to others that we deny ourselves. We distort others in the same way we distort ourselves."
Reflection
"To accept responsibility for your own feelings, your own triggers, and your own experience does not mean to stop communicating with others about how their words and actions affect you. You can own your emotions by not blaming others, and still give the people in your life gentle, loving feedback about how they can treat you in a way that helps your healing and happiness. Creating safe spaces is an interdependent process. It's not ever all about you and it's not ever all about the other person. It's about you coming together and working on the dynamics of your relationship together, taking responsibility for your own part and doing what you can to contribute to the well-being of the other."
Healing
"World peace is really inner peace within each individual mind."
Peace
"It is only once you see the baffled expression on the face of your enemy when you give his cruel words a warm smile that you'll understand, truly understand, what love is all about."
Love
"This is what a real teacher does: she opens the gates of our minds to the possibilities of the soul."

"If someone hurts you, he is hurting himself. He may not be able to escape that hurt in his lifetime."

"Nienor ran on into the woods until she was spent, and then fell, and slept, and awoke; and it was a sunlit morning, and she rejoiced in light as it were a new thing, and all things else that she saw seemed new and strange, for she had no names for them."

"Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight."
