More quotes by Laura Huxley
The spine should be empty so that energy moves up and down. I always felt this way as a child.
Laura Huxley
I've done a little yoga, not as a professional, and every time I have a good teacher I see the immense possibilities and subtleties in this discipline. It's a little bit like music.
Laura Huxley
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
My first psychedelic experience with Aldous still directs my life today.
Laura Huxley
Healthy attention is to improve what can be improved and to accept what we cannot improve.
Laura Huxley
Ignorance, according to the Buddha, is our basic difficulty. Psychedelics and the process of aging make that clear to me all the time.
Laura Huxley
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.
Laura Huxley
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
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.
Laura Huxley
Very often mothers go to work right away after the child is born and, unless the father or someone else stays home, this is quite serious. A baby has to be near its kin most of the time when he is little for three, four or five years. To give him this grounding, this feeling of connection, this feeling of relationship, is the most important thing.
Laura Huxley
Toddlers are so powerful and so egocentric and teenagers are also so powerful, so egocentric.
Laura Huxley
There is danger in everything that we do.
Laura Huxley
Probably, the secret is to be less complicated. We of course love to make complications - look at the way we live. We have this tremendous amount of information, and probably it is really not so necessary. Maybe if you just drink water, you are kind to people and walk a little bit it's all done already. But we cannot resist this sophistication.
Laura Huxley
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.
Laura Huxley
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
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
Yoga is a natural thing.
Laura Huxley
the giver measures his gift with one yardstick, and the receiver measures it with another.
Laura Huxley
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.
Laura Huxley
Anybody can make a baby without any checking, without thinking. This type of parenting can be tragic because one of the greatest actions a human being can do is to create another life.
Laura Huxley
