Quotes
“Inevitably, we do have to feel. We are going to have to feel what is going on here, and that is acceptance.” (5:27)
“What we want to have the ability to do is to call the fear and then be intelligent and then say ‘okay, now I am going to be kind to myself, I am going to soothe myself, I am going to make choices that are loving towards myself because I feel fear’. As opposed to creating a long storyline which typically creates more suffering.” (20:07)
“The biggest gift we can give ourselves is to accept ourselves regardless.” (23:03)
“Our number one job right now as humans is to stay healthy in mind, body, and spirit. And I think if we realize that maybe isn’t the language that is being communicated to us, but that is the message, it’s about all staying healthy for ourselves and one another.” (30:29)
“Its more of that reminding of saying yes to what’s going on here, saying yes to the feelings that are coming up, saying the ability to accept, serenity. Can I accept what I can’t control and can I shift the things that I can with love and compassion?” (34:40)
“Love is medicine is giving and receiving love to others, but also for yourself.” (42:59)
