Newsletter #6: Mending The Body, Mending The Mind Mending The Body, Mending The Mind Check out new additions to our To Inspire You page and look for announcements about publications due to be released this fall. We hope to inspire you with quotes from Joan Borysenko, author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind (Da Capo Press, 2007). Joan will be leading a workshop at Transformations Holistic Learning Center in Voorhees, NJ on June 14th. Happiness "Because gratification of a desire leads to the temporary stilling of the mind and the experience of the peaceful, joyful Self, it's no wonder that we get hooked on thinking that happiness comes from the satisfaction of desires. This is the meaning of the old adage, "Joy is not in things, it is in us." -Joan Borysenko Life "The question is not whether we will die, but how we will live." -Joan Borysenko Proverbial Wisdom "...the story of a man who saw three fellows laying bricks at a new building: He approached the first and asked, "What are you doing?" Clearly irritated, the first man responded, "What the heck do you think I'm doing? I'm laying these darn bricks!" He then walked over to the second bricklayer and asked the same question. The second fellow responded, "Oh, I'm making a living." He approached the third bricklayer with the same question, "What are you doing?" The third looked up, smiled and said, "I'm building a cathedral." At the end of the day, who feels better about how he's spent his last eight hours?" -Joan Borysenko Rules "The Four Rules of Life: 1. Show Up 2. Pay Attention 3.Tell the Truth 4. Don't be upset at the results". -Joan Borysenko Soul "Some tension is necessary for the soul to grow, and we can put that tension to good use. We can look for every opportunity to give and receive love, to appreciate nature, to heal our wounds and the wounds of others, to forgive, and to serve." -Joan Borysenko Universe, The "The Universe knows itself and expands itself through me." -Joan Borysenko Click here to subscribe to this free newsletter |
