“Forget about enlightenment. Sit down wherever you are and listen to the wind that is singing in your veins. Feel the love, the longing and the fear in your bones. Open your heart to who you are, right now, not who you would like to be. Not the saint you're striving to become. But the being right here before you, inside you, around you. All of you is holy. You're already more and less than whatever you can know. Breathe out, look in, let go.” KnowsLoveLifeFeelsLooksHeartMotivationalSpiritualFearForgetWindBecomingHolyRight NowLetting GoMindfulnessSingingEnlightenmentYogaWho You AreLongingStriveSaintBonesBreatheUpliftingBeing YourselfBelieve In YourselfVeinsFollow Your HeartListen To Your HeartJust Be YourselfListen To YourselfWherever You AreOpen Your Heart Author:John Welwood
“I would define love very simply: as a potent blend of openness and warmth, which allows us to make real contact, to take delight in and appreciate, and to be at one with--our selves, others, and life itself. Openness--the heart's pure, unconditional yes--is love's essence. And warmth is love's basic expression, arising as a natural extension of this yes--the desire to reach out and touch, connect with, and nourish what we love.” HeartRealSelfDesireNaturalAwarenessExpressionPureAppreciateEssenceDelightContactOpennessWarmthReach OutExtensionsUnconditionalPerfect LoveDefine Love Author:John Welwood

“We may tell ourselves that love is not really available. but the deeper truth is that we don't entirely trust it, and therefore have a hard time fully opening to it or letting it all the way into us. This disconnects us from our own heart, exacerbating our sense of love's scarcity.” WayLoveHeartMayHardLove IsTrustTruth IsAvailableDeeperOpeningHard TimesScarcityLove And Trust Book:Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships: Healing the Wound of the Heart Source: Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships: Healing the Wound of the Heart
“It is only through letting our heart break that we discover something unexpected: the heart cannot actually break, it can only break open. When we feel both our love for this world and the pain of this world-together, at the same time-the heart breaks out of its shell. To live with an open heart is to experience life full-strength.” WorldFeelsHeartPainTogetherJoyBreakThis WorldUnexpectedShellsOur LoveBreak OutHeart BreakOpen HeartSomething Unexpected Author:John Welwood
