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.

More quotes by 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.
Rachel Naomi Remen
A blessing is not something that one person gives another. A blessing is a moment of meeting, a certain kind of relationship in which both people involved remember and acknowledge their true nature and worth, and strengthen what is whole in one another.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Anger is just a demand for change, a passionate wish for things to be different.
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
In the silence of listening, you can know yourself in everyone, the unseen singing softly to itself and to you.

We may need to let go of our beliefs and ideas about life in order to have life.

The secret of living well is not in having all the answers but in pursuing unanswerable questions in good company.

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
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
God's presence. . . is an inner experience that never changes. It's a relationship that's there all the time, even when we're not paying attention to it. Perhaps the Infinite holds us to Itself in the same way the earth does. Like gravity, if it ever stopped we would know it instantly. But it never does.

Just Listen an excerpt
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
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
Sooner or later we will come to the edge of all that we can control and find life, waiting there for us.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Our wounds are our sources of growth.
Rachel Naomi Remen
When people are blessed they discover that their lives matter, that there is something in them worthy of blessing.
Rachel Naomi Remen
The wisdom in the story of the most educated and powerful person is often not greater than the wisdom in the story of a child, and the life of a child can teach us as much as the life of a sage.
