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.

More quotes by Laura Huxley
Healthy attention is to improve what can be improved and to accept what we cannot improve.
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
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
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
You can focus your mind. You can respect your body. All of that is important.
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
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
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
Toddlers are so powerful and so egocentric and teenagers are also so powerful, so egocentric.
Laura Huxley
Everything has to come through the senses, as though the soul is speaking out through the senses.
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
My first psychedelic experience with Aldous still directs my life today.
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
The art of living is simply the art of using energy in an intelligent and creative way.
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
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
They don't consider nicotine as a drug. Why don't they put it together with all the other drugs?
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
The difference between a good medicine and a poison is the dosage.
Laura Huxley
Since I was young my wish has been to die in perfect health - I mean to die with a body that is not destroyed by illness but a body that is consumed by its own long burning fire.
Laura Huxley
