AWAKENING Insights 

“You have a responsibility to keep your vision sacred. “~ Daniel Giamario

“At some point awakening begins.

The awakening happens with trauma, or it happens when somebody you love dies. In sexuality you transcend separateness. It can be drugs. It can be meditation. It can be a hymn. It can be a leaf falling. It can be lying under the stars. It can be trying to solve a problem where you mind gets so one-pointed it goes through the veil. Whatever it is, you open up into other planes of consciousness that have been there in all of the splendor all the time.” ~ Ram Dass  ~ @babaramdall

GRIEF Insights

I am reading a really good book on grief, "Grieving Mindfully" by Sameet M. Kumar, Ph.D.  I highly recommend it.

“Grief is a force of energy that cannot be controlled or predicted… Grief does not obey your plans, or your wishes. Grief will do whatever it wants to you, whenever it wants to. In that regard, grief has a lot in common with love.” ~  Elizabeth Gilbert

“The paradoxical effect of losing a loved one is that their sudden absence can become a feverish comment on that which remains. That which remains rises in time from the dark with a burning physicality — a luminous super-presence — as we acquaint ourselves with this new and different world. In loss things — both animate and inanimate — take on an added intensity and meaning.” ~  Nick Cave

“This feeling…of alertness to the inner-spirit of things — this humming — comes from a hard-earned understanding of the impermanence of things and, indeed, our own impermanence. This lesson ultimately animates and illuminates our lives. We become witnesses to the thrilling emergency of the present — a series of exquisite and burning moments, each extinguished as the next arises. These magical moments are the bright jewels of loss to which we cling.” ~ Nick Cave

“I am a really sensitive soul, and I am feeling pain.” ~ The Insight Center

“Saturn loves it when any individual becomes the best they/she/he can be.”  ~ Philip Sedgwick

“Pluto work will take you deep - to the depth of soul for release and rebirth.” ~ The Insight Center

“Air signs need to talk it out to process.
Earth signs need to DO, to process.
Water signs need to FEEL, to process.

“Chiron brings us deep weeping, and release.” ~  Barbara Hand Clow

 “The freer I am, the happier I am. Aries/Aquarius” ~ The Insight Center

 RELATIONSHIP Insights

“Within the brain, every person we love leaves a tangible, structural imprint, encoded in synapses that can never be vanquished or replaced by new and different love.” ~  Mary-Frances O’Connor

“When you allow love into your being it will turn your attention to letting go, because the hurt that you feel is the pain that you keep dragging from the past into your present.” ~  Yung Pueblo

“Love is water and hurt is stone. If you let water flow powerfully, it will remove all residue and blockages.” ~  Yung Pueblo

“In a good relationship we are like two fingers of the same hand. The little finger doesn’t suffer from an inferiority complex and say,” I’m so small. I wish I were as big as the thumb.” The thumb doesn’t have a superiority complex, saying, “I’m more important. I’m the big brother of all the fingers; you have to obey me.” Instead, there’s a perfect collaboration between them.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

“Harmony arises when you strike a balance between giving, receiving, and letting go. Finding a middle path where both of you feel empowered, listened to, and nourished requires a high degree of honest and calm communication.”  ~  Yung Pueblo
