Quote from “Full Catastrophe Living” “Healing comes out of the practice itself when it is engaged in as a way of being. From the perspective of mindfulness, YOU are already whole, so what is the point of trying to become what you already are? What is required above all is that we let go into the domain of being. This is what is fundamentally healing.”
