Consciousness will not always solve the problem, but it may make the suffering meaningful.

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

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 light of the sacred prostitute penetrates to the heart of this darkness. . . . she is the consecrated priestess, in the temple, spiritually receptive to the feminine power flowing through her from the Goddess, and at the same time joyously aware of the beauty and passion in her human body.

The healing of ourselves as healers has to take place first

Most of us are dragged toward wholeness.

Rage and bitterness do not foster femininity. They harden the heart and make the body sick.
