capable feeling mental spiritual
I'm much calmer as I get older, but I'm still just as capable of getting that strung-out stressed-out feeling of mental and spiritual unwellness.
spiritual meditation drug
Drugs took me to places; they were like portals. It's kind of a cliché, but they were like portals to altered states of consciousness into ways of imagining the world, or seeing a world beyond this world, or seeing a world beyond this world that I might not have gotten to unless I discovered meditation and a very deep, intense spiritual path based on contemplation and meditation.
spiritual teacher love-you
If you're lucky you find your way into a spiritual community and you start to find the great teachers of all the ages who said the same thing. There's only love, you're made of love.
spiritual self laughing
I do not understand how deeply people seem to like my work - but I love that people feel I have helped them through hardships, and also have shared my experience of living a more spiritual and present life. It's so great to be able to make people laugh, because this is so often how we get our selves back.
spiritual rain odds
Can you imagine the hopelessness of trying to live a spiritual life when you’re secretly looking up at the skies not for illumination or direction, but to gauge, miserably, the odds of rain?
spiritual real book
I try to write the books I would love to come upon that are honest, concerned with real lives, human hearts, spiritual transformation, families, secrets, wonder, craziness - and that can make me laugh.
spiritual connections life-is
...It really IS easier to experience spiritual connection when your life is in the process of coming apart.
spiritual laughter holiness
The solution is always spiritual, and it almost never has anything to do with the problem ... laughter is carbonated holiness.
spiritual wind giving
This is the most profound spiritual truth I know: that even when we're most sure that love can't conquer all, it seems to anyway. It goes down into the rat hole with us, in the guise of our friends, and there it swells and comforts. It gives us second winds, third winds, hundredth winds.
spiritual laughter laughing
Rest and laughter are the most spiritual and subversive acts of all. Laugh, rest, slow down.
spiritual apples remember
It is hard to remember that you are a cherished spiritual being when you're burping up apple fritters and Cheetos.
spiritual gratitude self
The movement of grace toward gratitude brings us from the package of self-obsessed madness to a spiritual awakening.
spiritual thinking car
Every time I see the bumper sticker that says “We think we’re humans having spiritual experiences, but we’re really spirits having human experiences,” I (a) think it’s true and (b) want to ram the car.
spiritual fuel path
On the spiritual path, all the dreck and misery is transformed, maybe not that same day, but still transformed into spiritual fuel or insight.
