Morbid attention is when we focus only on the shortcomings that come with aging, which are inevitable, and think that everything that is wrong is a result of aging.

More quotes by 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
The art of living is simply the art of using energy in an intelligent and creative way.
Laura Huxley
I believe more in concrete spirituality rather than in a spirituality that is divided from the body and from nature.
Laura Huxley
They don't consider nicotine as a drug. Why don't they put it together with all the other drugs?
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
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.
Laura Huxley
Everything has to come through the senses, as though the soul is speaking out through the senses.
Laura Huxley
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
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
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
the giver measures his gift with one yardstick, and the receiver measures it with another.
Laura Huxley
Toddlers are so powerful and so egocentric and teenagers are also so powerful, so egocentric.
Laura Huxley
Yoga is a natural thing.
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
The difference between a good medicine and a poison is the dosage.
Laura Huxley
My first psychedelic experience with Aldous still directs my life today.
Laura Huxley
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
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
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
There is danger in everything that we do.
