"Love is the only reality, and it is not merely a feeling. It is the supreme truth that lies at the heart of creation." - Tagore

“Trauma compromises our ability to interact with others by replacing patterns of connection with patterns of protection.” — Deb Dana

"If you want to give birth to your true self, you are going to have to dig deep down into that body of yours and let your soul howl. Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith and trust that if you turn off your head, your feet will take you where you need to go." -- Gabrielle Roth

"What hurts you blesses you. Darkness is your candle." - Rumi

The ego -- the sense of 'I' -- is driven by survival instinct, engrammed in the nervous system and fear is its protection mechanism. But what is fear if not an internal sensation that we resist, and just that? By gently confronting it, I try to rest in awareness itself, beyond ego, beyond life and death, on a daily permanent basis. I have no choice, it's here. No, I have a choice, that of resisting or surrendering.
