Healing

"Healing is not forcing the sun to shine, but letting go of that which blocks the light."  Stephen Levine

Love

"Love is the only rational act of a lifetime."  Stephen Levine

Self-Care

"Treat yourself like your only child."  Ondrea Levine

Suffering and Pain

"Pain is a given.  Suffering comes from our resistance to pain."  Stephen Levine

Armor

"The same armor that accumulates over the years to defend against the pain and fear becomes the same armor that keeps us from healing, from experiencing joy, from feeling love.   This armoring is the accumulation of all the moments we have given ourselves and others so little mercy.   We are so hard on ourselves, so hard on each other.  Healing begins when we soften our stance toward our own tender self."  Stephen Levine

Truth

"Go to the truth beyond the mind.  Love is the bridge."  Stephen Levine
