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.

Cancer changes your whole life.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Fear is the friction in all transitions.
Rachel Naomi Remen
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.
Rachel Naomi Remen
The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen.
Rachel Naomi Remen
If you carry someone else's fears and live by someone else's values, you may find that you have lived their lives.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Perhaps losing integrity with yourself is the greatest stress of all, far more hurtful to us than competition, time pressure, or lack of respect. Our vitality is rooted in our integrity. When we do not live in one piece, our life force becomes divided. Becoming separated from our authentic values may weaken us.

I think that people get experiences, and out of those experiences come meaning and ideas. It's like watching a rose bush grow.

People are waking up in their homes - without conferences. They're waking up because life is waking them up, not because of some conference called Body and Soul.

Perhaps wisdom is simply a matter of waiting, and healing a question of time. And anything good you've ever been given is yours forever.
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
In order to live fully we may need to look deeply at our own suffering and at the suffering of others. In the depths of every wound we have survived is the strength we need to live. The wisdom our wounds can offer us is a place of refuge. Finding this is not for the faint of heart. But then, neither is life.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Anger is just a demand for change, a passionate wish for things to be different.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Life is known only by those who have found a way to be comfortable with change and the unknown. Given the nature of life, there may be no security, but only adventure.
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
When you listen generously to people they can hear the truth in themselves, often for the first time.
Rachel Naomi Remen
When we are seen by the heart we are seen for who we are. We are valued in our uniqueness by those who are able to see us in this way and we become able to know and value ourselves.
Rachel Naomi Remen
At the deepest level, the creative process and the healing process arise from a single source. When you are an artist, you are a healer a wordless trust of the same mystery is the foundation of your work and its integrity.

Rachel Naomi Remen
Illiness could be considered a Western form of meditation.
Rachel Naomi Remen
This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. it certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too timid to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well intentioned words.
