Inspirations

Loving your body is something you have to discover as a kind of self-education. The food you eat and drink, the way you look at yourself in the mirror, the way you touch your body, the way you think of talk about yourself, the care you give your body – all that is your responsibility; others can’t do it for you. Mahasatvaa Ma Ananda Sarita PhD

Depression may be exacting a staggering toll, but its cousin—chronic anxiety—is becoming disturbingly common too, with average levels of anxiety in children and young people now at a point that would have been judged to be “clinical” in the 1950s. It’s not a great stretch of the imagination to assume that in a few decades unhappiness, depression and anxiety will have become the normal human condition, rather than happiness and contentment. Prof Mark Williams

We don’t have in our culture a healthy understanding and respect for the value of Being, which is simply being present in the moment, not trying to go somewhere, not trying to accomplish anything but, just being present. ~Shakti Gawain

It turns out that every time a person gets depressed, the connections in the brain between mood, thoughts, the body, and behavior get stronger, making it easier for depression to be triggered again. Prof Mark Williams

When in fear, feel fear; and commit to love. When in tears, cry tears; and commit to healing. When unhappy, honour it; and commit to joy. When in conflict, own it; and commit to peace. Robert Holden PhD
