When we meditate, we go beyond the swirl of thoughts, memories and emotions that tend to keep us stuck in our ego's story of who we are. We enter an expanded state of awareness and discover our own inner fountain of joy, a source of happiness that isn't dependent on anyone or anything.

True success is the progressive expansion of happiness. It is the ability to express spontaneous joy and share it with others.

Even the most time-honoured truths do not have to be accepted until they are your truths.

Trust that you are connected to your being, which knows what to do at all times.

To promote the healing response, you must get past all the grosser levels of the body - cells, tissues, organs and systems -- and arrive at a junction point between mind and matter, the point where consciousness actually starts to have an effect.

It is important for everyone to keep in close contact and preferably be in physical proximity with their loved ones.

Focus on nurturing your healthy relationships so that they are even more loving and fulfilling.
