Quote

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.

Yoga is a natural thing.

The art of living is simply the art of using energy in an intelligent and creative way.
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.
Laura Huxley
Image
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

There is danger in everything that we do.
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

The preparation for conception to me is one of the most important things, if we are we interested in the general progress of our species.
Laura Huxley

I believe more in concrete spirituality rather than in a spirituality that is divided from the body and from nature.

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.

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
Image
Healthy attention is to improve what can be improved and to accept what we cannot improve.
Laura Huxley
Image
Everything has to come through the senses, as though the soul is speaking out through the senses.
Laura Huxley
Image
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.

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
Image
Sixty-eight percent of the pregnancies in the United States are neither prepared for nor expected. Of those sixty-eight percent, quite a bit end in abortion, but still there are a large number of children that come in this world without being expected.
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
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
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
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!

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.
