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.

More quotes by 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
We may need to let go of our beliefs and ideas about life in order to have life.
Rachel Naomi Remen
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.
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
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
Goose bumps happen when your soul is close to you, breathing lightly on the back of your neck, and wakes you up.

Our limitations serve, our wounds serve, even our darkness can serve.

Just Listen an excerpt
Rachel Naomi Remen
When you listen generously to people they can hear the truth in themselves, often for the first time.

Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention
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
My sense is that you can never teach anybody anything, or change anybody in ways that they don't already have in mind.
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
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
Illiness could be considered a Western form of meditation.
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.
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.
