To sense which gifts to accept which to leave behind is our path to discovering freedom.

We need the courage to learn from our past and not live in it.

Compassion isn't morose; it's something replenishing and opening; that's why it makes us happy.

Someone who has experienced trauma also has gifts to offer all of us - in their depth, their knowledge of our universal vulnerability, and their experience of the power of compassion.

My experience working with lots of creative people is that they don't lose their artistic edge when they lose a fierce level of anguish. They just create from a different place.

There are many different ways to practice meditation; it's good to experiment until you find one that seems to suit you.

Meditation isn’t about what’s happening; it’s about how you relate to what’s happening.
