Everything always passes, and everything is already okay. Stay in the place where you can see that, and nothing will resist you.
Martha BeckExternal circumstances do not create feeling states. Feeling states create external circumstances.
Martha BeckThe process of spotting fear and refusing to obey it is the source of all true empowerment.
Martha BeckSilence comes in two varieties: One that nourishes and comforts; another that chokes, smothers, and isolates. Solitary confinement is the worst kind of imprisonment we can inflict on fellow humans, and if you are forced to keep silent about some dark secret, you live in solitary confinement. Without the bridge of communication connecting you to other human beings, you canโt share your burdens, canโt receive comfort, canโt confirm that you still belong. Silence is the abyss that separates you from hope.
