Healing Journey Quotes

“This toxic pattern within the broken family system will continue from one generation to the next, until one brave survivor finally ends the cycle of abuse. The dysfunction, bullying, and abuse didn’t start with you, but it most certainly can end with you.”

“The most profound healing I’ve ever experienced happened when I did less—when I stepped away from my routine, from productivity, from scrolling online, from painting on a smile. It happened when I sat with myself—feeling lost, alone, and wondering what next? Have patience. Healing and growth require you to relinquish the familiar in order to find a new freedom.”

“The energy body acts as a bridge connecting our physical and spiritual bodies. In order for us to influence transformation of the body and mind, we must first learn to transform the energy flow.”

“Creative peaks come and go like waves; they rise and fall. If we are paying attention and willing to go along for the ride without knowing where we will end up or even whether we will survive (at least the version of who we think we are), well then, creating is just the thing.”

“The highs and lows of a creative sojourn—tuning into and following where our True Selves are guiding us to go—are completely natural, but when they happen to us, we may struggle, doubting our inner voice or the very idea of who we are and what we have to offer.”

“Most of us have been raised to live our lives focused on seeking approval from some outer influence, like a parent, teacher, or peers, rather than to trust and connect with our True Self, our own soft, still voice within.”

“The key to inner freedom, bliss, and self-realization is learning to hear and understand the language of the heart. To do this, we must first listen—an inner listening that is attuned to the whisperings of the heart. The heart’s language is simplicity itself. It has nothing to do with yes or no, good or bad, right or wrong. Its basic vocabulary is, most simply, open or closed. Within this, there are many variations and degrees: ecstasy, love, joy, acceptance, indifference, rejection, hardness, fear. If we listen and pay attention to the joy, the love, and the bliss in our hearts and follow this, it will guide us on our true path. But first we must learn to listen, to tune in to what the heart is whispering.”

“Healing was a terrifying and painful experience and my life was as full of struggle and heartache as it had always been. Several years after I started therapy, I began to feel happy. I was stunned. I hadn't realized that the point of all this work on myself was to feel good. I thought it was just one more struggle in a long line of struggles. It took a while before I got used to the idea that my life had changed, that I felt happy, that I was actually content. Learning to tolerate feeling good is one of the nicest parts of healing.”

“Healing our mind is crucial, because otherwise our problems, which are beginningless, become endless. We may use medicine or some other external means to heal a particular disease, but the disease will return unless we heal our mind. If we do nothing to heal our mind, there is always the danger that we will again create the cause of the disease, that we will repeat the actions that caused us to become physically unhealthy. We will then experience the same illness in future lives, or even in this life. Curing disease through external means is not the best solution because the cause of disease is not external. Bacteria, viruses, spirits, and so forth may act as external conditions for disease, but disease itself has no external cause. In the West, however, the external conditions for a particular disease are usually regarded as its cause. The cause of disease is not external; it is in the mind – or we could say, it is the mind. Disease is caused by our self-cherishing, ignorance, anger, attachment, and other delusions and by the negative actions motivated by these negative thoughts. Our negative thoughts and actions leave imprints on our mind, which then manifest as disease or other problems. The imprints also make it possible for disturbing thoughts and negative actions to arise again. A physical sign necessarily has a physical cause, but the physical cause arises because of the inner cause, the imprints left on the mind by negative thoughts and actions. To fully understand disease, we have to understand the inner cause, which is the actual cause of disease and which also creates the physical conditions for disease. As long as we ignore its inner cause, we have no real cure for disease. We must study its development and recognize that its cause is in the mind. Once we recognize this, we will automatically understand that the healing of disease also has to come from the mind. (p. 4-5)”

“Intensity-seeking is an enslavement of our own perpetuation. When we step out of the delirium of always seeking someone new, and meet the same old sad and lonely child within, our healing journey begins. Exhausting ourselves with novelty is a defense against our deepest pain, one that we cannot outrun. But once we stop and feel our losses, we can begin our healing journey and be the authentic, joyous person we were born to be.”

“Taste this tree, even if her elixir is to your distaste. Misunderstood, yes at times, though she knows her sap is divine. Climb the bark, go deep with her, and open up to her divine elixir. In this moment of infinite embrace, you may never know unless you taste the infinity of ecstasy and sanctity. Open to her love, Mother Nature heals. Oh, what a thrill. Heal with us, be with us, listen Her mystery is calling for you, me, we- us, to listen.”

“Mother ache healing matters because it restores the foundation of our lives. It returns us to the place where love first faltered, so that we may learn to love in a new way, this time with awareness. It makes possible a new lineage, one that passes down presence and truth, rather than our inherited survival adaptations. When we heal the mother ache within ourselves, we heal forward and backward in time. We change the stories that shape our lives, our families, our communities, and Mother Earth who holds us all.”
