Live by your experience and do not let limited beliefs alter your life experience.
BERNIE SIEGEL -

BERNIE SIEGEL -

BERNIE SIEGEL -
Refusal to hope is nothing more than a decision to die.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
The order of the words varies, but beer and ice are always two of the top four staples for sale. If we were all taking care of ourselves, wouldn’t the convenience stores compete for our dollars with signs that read “Fruit, Vegetables, Bread, Milk”?
BERNIE SIEGEL -
Not because I’m fascinated by the human body or want to understand death, but I like people and I want to help them. That also became my problem, because I couldn’t help everyone, I couldn’t fix everyone.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
It is the experience of living that is important, not searching for meaning. We bring meaning by how we love the world.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
Consciousness is non-local and does not depend on words to communicate.
