Clarissa Pinkola Estes
It's not the failure that holds us back but the reluctance to begin over again that causes us to stagnate.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Be wild that is how to clear the river.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
When you focus with soul eyes, / You will see home in many, many places.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Suppose... the body is a God in its own right, a teacher, a mentor, a certified guide? Then what? .... Are we strong enough to refute the party line and listen deep, listen true to the body as a powerful and holy being?
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
All that you are seeking is also seeking you. If you lie still, sit still, it will find you. It has been waiting for you a long time.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Stories are medicine. They have such power they do not require that we do, be, act anything - we need only listen.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
To love pleasure takes little. To love truly takes a hero who can manage his own fear.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
As long as a woman is forced into believing she is powerless and/or is trained to not consciously register what she knows to be true, the feminine impulses and gifts of her psyche continue to be killed off.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
We practice conscious forgetting by refusing to summon up the fiery material, we refuse to recollect. To forget is an active, not a passive, endeavor. It means to not haul up certain materials, or turn them over and over, to not work oneself up by repetitive thought, picture, or emotion.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Asking the proper question is the central act of transformation!
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Be proud of your scars. They have everything to do with your strength, and what you've endured. They're a treasure map to the deep self.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Dogs are the magicians of the universe.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Tears are a river that takes you somewhere…Tears lift your boat off the rocks, off dry ground, carrying it downriver to someplace better.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
The body is like the earth ... as vulnerable to overbuilding, being carved into parcels, cut off, overmined, and shorn of its power as any landscape.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
The wild woman is fluent in the language of dreams, images, passion, and poetry.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Long ago the word alone was treated as two words, all one. To be all one meant to be wholly one, to be in oneness, either essentially or temporarily. That is precisely the goal of solitude, to be all one.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Stories are medicine.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing.
