You would think that as you get older you would be more disciplined. As I get older I get less disciplined. I just play around!
Laura Huxley

My first psychedelic experience with Aldous still directs my life today.
Laura Huxley
Image
One asana is strong, then again another is very soft and gentle. So you have this modulation from one asana to another, just as you have from one feeling to another. Then they all, of course, make you lighter, give you space. I feel that space is what I get and receive and like to have - space inside which makes more space for openness outside.

The practice of yoga certainly is a fantastic practice. I only wish I would do it more. I find I can do it alone but it is much better if I have some guidance. Although I can do it alone it is a little bit sloppy. Ultimately, all of those techniques try to bring more oxygen to the brain. We can think and love better if we have more oxygen.

Service or giving is the other side of receiving. Giving and receiving is a full circle: a full circle feels more natural than a half circle.

If you decide that you are making love to have a child then you are to prepare. Prepare physiologically, spiritually, and know that you have enough money to give him what you have to give him.

Whoever uses psychedelics should treat them with greatest respect. When Aldous and I used them, we prepared the ambience and ourselves the day before. The day of the session was kept as a holy day, and there were beautiful fruits and flowers around. The result was, that we had no negative experiences.

Love your heart. It really is to love yourself to begin with and help everybody else in doing the same. But the heart being the center.
Laura Huxley
Image
They don't consider nicotine as a drug. Why don't they put it together with all the other drugs?
Laura Huxley
Image
Everything has to come through the senses, as though the soul is speaking out through the senses.
Laura Huxley
Image
Power is just so much part of the human being because power is survival. But I wonder if that is the best way to survive, by killing someone else.
Laura Huxley
Image
I find beauty almost everywhere. Now more and more I find almost everything beautiful. That is why I have great difficulty in throwing away things because I think they are quite beautiful. Even the garbage, but I have to throw that away!
Laura Huxley
Image
What I say is focus your mind and respect your body. But mostly love your heart. I think that is where to begin, from there and then it goes out.
Laura Huxley
Image
Our emotions are ever-changing and infinitely varied, but the words with which we describe them are fixed and rigid. Our life is like quicksilver, our vocabulary like steel. Sometimes a consummate poet succeeds in rendering the quality of life in words. For the rest of us, this is not possible.
Laura Huxley
Image
I think that, at least in my experience, it is difficult when there is unfinished work. That makes it difficult to think of dying when what you have to do is not quite done. Of course it's never quite done.

Yoga is a natural thing.
Laura Huxley
Image
The art of living is simply the art of using energy in an intelligent and creative way.
Laura Huxley
Image
I would much rather sit on the floor. Very rarely do I find a table and a chair that is comfortable. But the floor is comfortable.
Laura Huxley
Image
Beauty, well, it's one of the greatest, greatest gifts. I feel sorry sometimes because people are so worried and so involved in something that they don't have even five minutes to look at something beautiful.
Laura Huxley

the giver measures his gift with one yardstick, and the receiver measures it with another.
