To live with an open heart is to experience life full-strength  (John Welwood Quotes) If there is one thing I’ve learned in thirty years as a psychotherapist, it is this: If you can let your experience happen, it will release its knots and unfold, leading to a deeper, more grounded experience of yourself.

You can stop fighting the shifting tides of relative love and learn to ride them instead. And you come to appreciate more fully the simple, ordinary heroism involved in opening to another person and forging real intimacy  (John Welwood Quotes) A soul connection not only inspires us to expand, but also forces us to confront whatever stands in the way of that expansion  (John Welwood Quotes) In recognizing exactly where we have been unconscious, we become more conscious. And in seeing and feeling the ways we’ve gone dead, we start to revive and kindle our desire to live more expansively  (John Welwood Quotes) Forget about enlightenment. Sit down wherever you are. And listen to the wind singing in your veins  (John Welwood Quotes) At any moment, whatever we are experiencing, only one of two things is ever happening: either we are being with what is, or else we are resisting what is. Being with what is means letting ourselves have and feel our experience, just as it is right now... This is where genuine creativity, health, and communication, as well as spiritual power, arise from  (John Welwood Quotes) We are not just humans learning to become buddhas, but also buddhas waking up in human form, learning to become fully human  (John Welwood Quotes) Meditation provides a way of learning how to let go. As we sit, the self we’ve been trying to construct and make into a nice, neat package continues to unravel  (John Welwood Quotes) There is a secret about human love that is commonly overlooked: Receiving it is much more scary and threatening than giving it  (John Welwood Quotes) The light of unconditional love awakens the dormant seed potentials of the soul, helping them ripen, blossom, and bear fruit, allowing us to bring forth the unique gifts that are ours to offer in this life  (John Welwood Quotes) You are flawed, you are stuck in old patterns, you become carried away with yourself. Indeed you are quite impossible in many ways. And still, you are beautiful beyond measure. For the core of what you are is fashioned out of love, that potent blend of openness, warmth, and clear, transparent presence  (John Welwood Quotes) We may tell ourselves that love is not really available. but the deeper truth is that we don’t entirely trust it, and therefore have a hard time fully opening to it or letting it all the way into us. This disconnects us from our own heart, exacerbating our sense of love’s scarcity  (John Welwood Quotes) Not knowing that we can be loved for who we truly are prevents us from trusting in love itself, and this in turn causes us to turn away from life and doubt its benevolence  (John Welwood Quotes) Magic is a sudden opening of the mind to the wonder of existence.
