John Welwood Quotes

To allow yourself your own experience is the greatest act of self love Picture Quote #1

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. No matter how painful or scary your feelings appear to be, your willingness to engage with them draws forth your essential strength, leading in a more life-positive direction Picture Quote #1

It is only through letting our heart break that we discover something unexpected: the heart cannot actually break, it can only break open. When we feel both our love for this world and the pain of this world-together, at the same time-the heart breaks out of its shell. To live with an open heart is to experience life full-strength Picture Quote #1

The light of unconditional love awakens the dormant seed potentials of the soul Picture Quote #1

Love is the recognition of beauty Picture Quote #1

Boundless love always manages somehow to sparkle through your limited form Picture Quote #1

The less you demand total fulfillment from relationships, the more you can appreciate them for the beautiful tapestries they are, in which absolute and relative, perfect and imperfect, infinite and finite are marvelously interwoven. 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 Picture Quote #1

We are not just humans learning to become buddhas, but also buddhas waking up in human form, learning to become fully human Picture Quote #1

Becoming human means discovering our fullness and learning to live from it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Forget about enlightenment. Sit down wherever you are and listen to the wind that is singing in your veins. Feel the love, the longing and the fear in your bones. Open your heart to who you are, right now, not who you would like to be. Not the saint you’re striving to become. But the being right here before you, inside you, around you. All of you is holy. You’re already more and less than whatever you can know. Breathe out, look in, let go Picture Quote #1

Forget about enlightenment. Sit down wherever you are. And listen to the wind singing in your veins Picture Quote #1
