More quotes by Rachel Naomi Remen
Most of us lead far more meaningful lives than we know. Often finding meaning is not about doing things differently it is about seeing familiar things in new ways.
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
Cancer changes your whole life.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention
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 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.

Belief traps or frees us.
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
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
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
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
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
When we pray, we don't change the world, we change ourselves.
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
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
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
Anger is just a demand for change, a passionate wish for things to be different.
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
In the silence of listening, you can know yourself in everyone, the unseen singing softly to itself and to you.
Rachel Naomi Remen
I spent the first forty years of my life making major interventions into other people's lives, and I have an idea of the limitations of that method. I see a major event as rather like major surgery. It is a moment, but whether people use it, whether people go with it, needs to be seen.
