More quotes by Rachel Naomi Remen
I think ideas only lead to change for intellectual people and not even them. What really leads to change is experience. Life itself is the teacher.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Anger is just a demand for change, a passionate wish for things to be different.

Every great loss demands that we choose life again. We need to grieve in order to do this. The pain we have not grieved over will always stand between us and life. When we don't grieve, a part of us becomes caught in the past like Lot's wife who, because she looked back, was turned into a pillar of salt.

Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention
Rachel Naomi Remen
The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.

Helping, fixing, and serving represent three different ways of seeing life. When you help, you see life as weak. when you fix, you see life as broken. When you serve, you see life as whole. Fixing and helping may be the work of the ego, and service the work of the soul.

In the silence of listening, you can know yourself in everyone, the unseen singing softly to itself and to you.

Big messages come in small packages. All it may take to restore someone's trust in life may be returning a lost earring or a dropped glove.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Goose bumps happen when your soul is close to you, breathing lightly on the back of your neck, and wakes you up.
Rachel Naomi Remen
As I age I am grateful to find that a silence has begun to gather in me, coexisting with my tempers and my fears, unchanged by my joys or my pain. Sanctuary. Connected to the Silence everywhere.
Rachel Naomi Remen
From a good teacher you may learn the secret of listening. You will never learn the secret of life. You will have to listen for yourself
Rachel Naomi Remen
The secret of living well is not in having all the answers but in pursuing unanswerable questions in good company.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Being alive is being aware, being able to be touched and moved and changed, being able to respond rather than to react, being able to see and hear.
Rachel Naomi Remen
When you listen generously to people they can hear the truth in themselves, often for the first time.
Rachel Naomi Remen
The worst thing that happens in life is not death. The worst thing would be to miss it. . . . I think the great danger in life is not showing up.
Rachel Naomi Remen
The spiritual is inclusive. It is the deepest sense of belonging and participation.We all participate in the spiritual at all times, whether we know it or not.
Rachel Naomi Remen
It is not that we have a soul, but that we are a soul.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you - all of the expectations, all of the beliefs - and becoming who you are.
