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
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
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
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.
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
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.

We are all born to be a blessing.
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.

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.

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
An unanswered question is a fine traveling companion. It sharpens your eye for the road.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Our wounds are our sources of growth.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Grieving allows us to heal, to remember with love rather than pain. It is a sorting process. One by one you let go of the things that are gone and you mourn for them. One by one you take hold of the things that have become a part of who you are and build again.
Rachel Naomi Remen
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.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Life is as complex as we are. Sometimes our vulnerability is our strength, our fear develops our courage, and our woundedness is the road to our integrity. It is not an either/or world.
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
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.
Rachel Naomi Remen
When you listen generously to people they can hear the truth in themselves, often for the first time.
Rachel Naomi Remen
It is not that we have a soul, but that we are a soul.
