Clarissa Pinkola Estes Quotes

To adjoin the instinctual nature does not mean to come undone, change everything from left to right, from black to white, to move the east to west, to act crazy or out of control. It does not mean to lose one’s primary socializations, or to become less human. It means quite the opposite. The wild nature has a vast integrity to it Picture Quote #1

The wild woman is fluent in the language of dreams, images, passion, and poetry Picture Quote #1

Creativity is not a solitary movement. That is its power. Whatever is touched by it, whoever hears it, sees it, senses it, knows it, it’s fed. That is why beholding someone else’s creative word, images, idea, fills us up, and inspires us to our own creative work. A single creative act has the potential to feed a continent. One creative act can cause a torrent to break through stone Picture Quote #1

The predation of wolves and women by those who misunderstand them is strikingly similar Picture Quote #1

I have to go to the woods, and I have to meet the wolf, or else my life will never begin Picture Quote #1

Without art we live under the illusion that there is only time, and not eternity Picture Quote #1

To be ourselves causes us to be exiled by many others, and yet to comply with what others want causes us to be exiled from ourselves Picture Quote #1

Asking the proper questions is the central action of transformation. Questions are the key that causes the secret doors of the psyche to swing open Picture Quote #1

One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it Picture Quote #1

When a creature is exposed to violence, it will tend to adapt to that disturbance, so that when the violence ceases or the creature is allowed its freedom, the healthy instinct to flee is hugely diminished, and the creature stays put instead Picture Quote #1

I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you Picture Quote #1

Just because a woman is silent does not mean she agrees Picture Quote #1

The way to maintain one’s connection to the wild is to ask yourself what it is that you want. This is the sorting of the seed from the dirt. One of the most important discriminations we can make in this matter is the difference between things that beckon to us and things that call from our souls Picture Quote #1

The body is a multilingual being. It speaks through its color and its temperature, the flush of recognition, the glow of love, the ash of pain, the heat of arousal, the coldness of nonconviction... It speaks through the leaping of the heart, the falling of the spirits, the pit at the center, and rising hope Picture Quote #1

Like night dreams, stores often use symbolic language, therefore bypassing the ego and persona, and traveling straight to the spirit and soul who listen for the ancient and universal instructions imbedded there. Because of this process, stories can teach, correct errors, lighten the heart and the darkness, provide psychic shelter, assist transformation and heal wounds Picture Quote #1

We all begin the process before we are ready, before we are strong enough, before we know enough; we begin a dialogue with thoughts and feelings that both tickle and thunder within us. We respond before we know how to speak the language, before we know all the answers, and before we know exactly to whom we are speaking Picture Quote #1

Tell the truth about your wound, and then you will get a truthful picture of the remedy to apply to it. Don’t pack whatever is easiest or most available into the emptiness. Hold out for the right medicine. You will recognize it because it makes your life stronger rather than weaker Picture Quote #1

Wolves and women are relational by nature, inquiring, possessed of great endurance and strength. They are deeply intuitive, intensely concerned with their young, their mate and their pack. Yet both have been hounded, harassed and falsely imputed to be devouring and devious, overly aggressive, of less value than those who are their detractors Picture Quote #1

Solitude is not an absence of energy or action, as some believe, but is rather a boon of wild provisions transmitted to us from the soul. In ancient times, purposeful solitude was both palliative and preventative. It was used to heal fatigue and to prevent weariness. It was also used as an oracle, as a way of listening to the inner self to solicit advice and guidance otherwise impossible to hear in the din of daily life Picture Quote #1

When you feel bad, find a person to talk to and cry with, to tell of your anger and other helpless feelings Picture Quote #1

Do not lose heart. We were made for these times... For years we have been learning, practicing, been in training for... and just waiting to meet on this exact plain of engagement Picture Quote #1

The desire to force love to live only in its most positive form is what causes love ultimately to fall over dead Picture Quote #1

Healthy wolves and healthy women share certain psychic characteristics: keen sensing, playful spirit, and a heightened capacity for devotion. Wolves and women are relational by nature, inquiring, possessed of great endurance and strength Picture Quote #1

Writing, real writing, should leave a small sweet bruise somewhere on the writer... and on the reader Picture Quote #1

We all wish to be brave and strong in the face of disaster. We all wish to be looked up to for our endurance and efforts to help others Picture Quote #1

I became married at a young age and had two daughters and divorced at 26. I had to go on welfare to make ends meet. I had no way to support myself Picture Quote #1

Any time I find medicine that’s helpful, I share it with everyone I know Picture Quote #1

This kind of forgetting does not erase memory, it lays the emotion surrounding the memory to rest Picture Quote #1

If you’ve lost focus, just sit down and be still. Take the idea and rock it to and fro. Keep some of it and throw some away, and it will renew itself. You need do no more Picture Quote #1

I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and you laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom Picture Quote #1
