To love unconditionally requires no contracts, bargains or agreements.

Soul, to me, means “embodied essence,” when we experience ourselves and others in our full humanity - part animal, part divine. Healing comes through embodiment of the soul. The soul in matter is what I think the feminine side of God is all about... The feminine soul is what grounds us; it loves and accepts us in our totality.

The body is like an elaborate metaphor. One may be able to taste and not swallow, like the anorexic, or to swallow and not integrate, like the bulimic or obese.

A life that is truly lived is constantly burning away the veils of illusion, gradually revealing the essence of the individual.

The connection between conscious and unconscious poses particular problems in the dancer because the body is the soul of action.

The harder we look at our aches and ailments, the more we will be startled by the painful truths they are trying to convey about our dangerously disembodied way of life.
