More quotes by 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
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
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
I think that people get experiences, and out of those experiences come meaning and ideas. It's like watching a rose bush grow.
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
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
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
The secret of living well is not in having all the answers but in pursuing unanswerable questions in good company.
Rachel Naomi Remen
When we pray, we don't change the world, we change ourselves.
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
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
We are all born to be a blessing.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Fear is the friction in all transitions.
Rachel Naomi Remen
When you listen generously to people they can hear the truth in themselves, often for the first time.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Cancer changes your whole life.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Our wounds are our sources of growth.

Just Listen an excerpt
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
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.
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.
