“I awaken today, appreciating everything in sight, and I give thanks.”

An affirmation opens the door. It’s a beginning point on the path to change.

I give myself permission to be all that I can be, and I deserve the very best in life.

Love happens! I release the desperate need for love, and instead, allow it to find me in the perfect time-space sequence.

I cannot change another person. I let others be who they are, and I simply love who I am.

Life can’t give to you if your hands are closed. Open your mind, open your heart, and open your arms.

If we are willing to do the mental work, almost anything can be healed.

It’s important to remember that people are always doing the best they can, including you.

I am willing to let go. I release others to experience whatever is meaningful to them, and I am free to create that which is meaningful to me.

When we change our thoughts, we can truly change the world.

There is so much love in your heart that you could heal the planet.

I no longer criticize anyone–not even myself. I only give out positive vibes.

That person who is the hardest to forgive is the one who can teach you the greatest lessons. When you love yourself enough to rise above the old situation, then understanding and forgiveness will be easy. And you’ll be free.

It’s only a thought, and a thought can be changed. I am not limited by any past thinking. I choose my thoughts with care. I constantly have new insights and new ways of looking at my world. I am willing to change and grow.

Life is very simple. What I give out comes back to me. Today, I choose to give love.

It is safe to look within. As I move through the layers of other people’s opinions and beliefs, I see within myself a magnificent being, wise and beautiful. I love what I see in me.

Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.

It’s not your job to awaken your family.

Mindfulness is about being fully awake in our lives. It is about perceiving the exquisite vividness of each moment. We also gain immediate access to our own powerful inner resources for insight, transformation, and healing.

Wherever you are is the perfect place to awaken. This moment is the exact place to practice compassion and loving awareness. You have all the ingredients to breathe and find freedom just where you are.

The winds that awakened the stars Are blowing through my blood.

Each person’s life is like a mandala – a vast, limitless circle. We stand in the center of our own circle, and everything we see, hear and think forms the mandala of our life … everything that shows up in your mandala is a vehicle for your awakening.

Awakened at midnight by the sound of the water jar cracking from the ice.

When we’re awake in our bodies and sense, the world comes alive. Wisdom, creativity, and love are discovered as we relax and awaken through our bodies.

At last awake from life, that insane dream we take for waking now.
