Mindfulness Quotes

“There are two ways to be wealthy: to get everything you want, or to want everything you have...the same goes for freedom. If you chafe and fight and struggle for more, you will never be free. If you could find and focus on the pockets of freedom you already have, well, then you'd be free right here, right now.”

“You are not white, but a rainbow of colors. You are not black, but golden. You are not just a nationality, but a citizen of the world. You are not just for the right or left, but for what is right over the wrong. You are not just rich or poor, but always wealthy in the mind and heart. You are not perfect, but flawed. You are flawed, but you are just. You may just be conscious human, but you are also a magnificent reflection of God.”

“If something negative comes to the surface, such as your despair and anger, or the despair and anger of your spouse, you need the energy of mindfulness to embrace it. Breathing in, I know that anger is there in me. Breathing out, I care for my anger. This is like a mother hearing her baby cry out. She is in the kitchen, and she hears her baby wailing. She puts down whatever she has in her hands, goes into the baby's room, and picks it up in her arms. You can do exactly the same thing--embrace the pain that is coming to the surface. Breathing in, I know that you are there, my dear anger, my dear despair. I am there for you; I will take care of you.”

“If you feel irritation or depression or despair, recognize their presence and practice this mantra: "Dear one, I am here for you." You should talk to your depression or your anger as you would to a child. You embrace it tenderly with the energy of mindfulness and say, "Dear one, I know you are there, and I am going to take care of you," just as you would with your crying baby.”

“If your mind can move mountains and swallow gods, Why does it worry with helpless yesterdays and unborn tomorrows? If it can vomit stars and walk on split hairs, Why must it follow the same path to despair? Everyone will tell you: 'An orgasm here is just as good.”

“When you feel sad, don’t push away that feeling. Feel it fully. It is a natural human emotion that you feel when you don’t get what you want or get what you don’t want. Let the sadness hold you in its grip. Experience your sadness wholesomely. Cry, if you feel like crying. Over time, you will realize that your sadness is not helping you. That’s when you must let it go. And open yourself up to newer experiences and emotions. Only when you understand the futility of being sad for long spells of time, will you let your sadness go. And only when you let it go, only when you uncling from your sadness, will you be truly happy!”

“Divine Threads of Light Sometimes, God doesn't arrive as an answer, but as a question that tears you in two—stitching you back with threads of light. Life doesn't belong to you. You belong to life—and that's the first true freedom.”

“The Light That Remains No more void, nor silence, nor desire to kindle. All burns without flame— a gentle sun within, that neither seeks nor proves, only breathes. Words have melted into light, and light has grown simple— a sort of peace that claims no name. There, even shadow is tender, even silence wears a face. Nothing left to utter, yet all is heard.”

“The Bottomless Void I am seized by a longing to dwell in the bottomless void, where weight plummets, and the heart ascends. There, love knows no edges, asks nothing, promises nothing, only levitates— like a vapor that knows All is already whole. There is no time, no names, no fear; only silence that breathes through light and an invisible thread that binds all we've lost To all we've understood. I am seized by a longing to no longer be— and yet, to be more fully than ever before.”

“Life is punctuated by big, memorable events... But most of our days are built from the seemingly ordinary moments in between . ... When we rush from milestone to milestone, we often treat these spaces as filler, something to get through on the way to somewhere more important. Yet these inbetween moments are where much of our life happens, and they have their own kind of magic”

“Should you operate upon your clients as objects, you risk reducing them to less than human. Following the culture of appropriation and mastery your clients become a kind of extension of yourself, of your ego. In the appropriation and objectification mode, your clients’ well-being and success in treatment reflect well upon you. You “did” something to them, you made them well. You acted upon them and can take the credit for successful therapy or treatment. Conversely, if your clients flounder or regress, that reflects poorly on you. On this side of things the culture of appropriation and mastery says that you are not doing enough. You are not exerting enough influence, technique or therapeutic force. What anxiety this can breed for some clinicians! DBT offers a framework and tools for a treatment that allows clients to retain their full humanity. Through the practice of mindfulness, you can learn to cultivate a fuller presence to the moments of your life, and even with your clients and your work with them. This presence potentiates an encounter between two irreducible human beings, meeting professionally, of course, and meeting humanly. The dialectical framework, which embraces contradictions and gives you a way of seeing that life is pregnant with creative tensions, allows for your discovery of your limits and possibilities, gives you a way of seeing the dynamic nature of reality that is anything but sitting still; shows you that your identity grows from relationship with others, including those you help, that you are an irreducible human being encountering other irreducible human beings who exert influence upon you, even as you exert your own upon them. Even without clinical contrivance.”

“The brain whispers softly, and if we truly listen, the body begins to heal. Within us, quiet conversations stir — neurons sending gentle messages, emotions shaping every breath and movement. When thoughts find calm, peace becomes a language, and health blooms where brain and body trust. We are not apart from this story; we are both its teller and its tale, rewriting the lines with every passing day. The deepest medicine is found in the understanding of our own silent voice.” — Hemma Dsouza #mindwisebyhemma #MindBodyConnection #HealingQuotes #InnerWisdom #EmotionalHealing #SelfAwareness #Neuroscience #PeaceWithin #MentalHealth #Wellness”

“Close your eyes and trust; go in the direction of what makes you feel authentically lighter and brighter. There is no good or bad. Retribution feels vibrationally better than desperation. It’s better than sitting still because your energy has movement. Frustration is better than retribution, because now you’re not projecting negative energy outward, you’re processing it within. Apathy is better than frustration; at least you’ve reached some form of detachment. Optimism is better than apathy. Optimism becomes happiness. Co-creative inspiration follows… and then comes joy.”

“Handle with care. Me. You. All we do. It doesn't mean do everything for anyone or something for everyone but it does mean to do it the most care-fully you are able. I strive for that each moment-- fail miserably much of the time, but still try-- whether work, play loving, writing-- to do it as care-fully as I might-- for myself and those I love, yes, but also for the ripple effects-- the butterfly-wing-flapping effects-- in places unknowable and unknown.”

“Silence is not the absence of sound but an environment that amplifies what we usually ignore. When the external noise fades, the whispers inside grow louder. We might hear anxieties we’ve been avoiding, desires we haven’t acknowledged, or sorrow we thought we had neatly tucked away. Silence holds up a mirror, reflecting our inner world back at us without distortion”

“As you discard things that deplete your energy and begin engaging in activities and processes that increase your personal power, pay attention to any and all moments when your mind is quiet yet you’re completely functional. These indicate that what you’re doing is working, so by all means stick with it!”

“It’s odd,” the Warrior of the Light says to himself. “I have met so many people who, at the first opportunity, try to show their very worst qualities. They hide their inner strength behind aggression and hide their fear of loneliness behind an air of independence. They do not believe in their own abilities, but are constantly trumpeting their virtues.” A warrior reads these messages in many of the men and women he meets. He is never taken in by appearances and makes a point of remaining silent when people try to impress him. He uses these occasions to correct his own faults, for other people make an excellent mirror. A Warrior takes every opportunity to teach himself.”
