Healing is bringing mercy and Awareness into that which we have held in judgment and fear.
Stephen Levine
Image
Letting the last breath come. Letting the last breath go. Dissolving, dissolving into vast space, the light body released from its heavier form. A sense of connectedness with all that is, all sense of separation dissolved in the vastness of being. Each breath melting into space as though it were the last.

Whatever prepares you for death enhances life.

Stephen Levine
Image
If sequestered pain made a sound, the atmosphere would be humming all the time.
Stephen Levine
