Moliere 1622-1673
The mind has great influence over the body, and maladies often have their origin
there.
Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519)
Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For
if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt
you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs,
and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.
William A. Tiller, Professor Emeritus, Stanford University, "Science and Human
Transformation: Subtle Energies, Intentionality and Consciousness" (Walnut Creek,
CA: Pavior Publishing, 1997), p. 196.
The shift from incoherence to coherence can bring dramatic effects: a 60-watt
light bulb whose light waves could be made coherent as a laser, would have the
power to bore a hole through the sun--from 90 million miles away.

Love is not automatic. It takes conscious practice and awareness, just like playing
the piano or golf. However, you have ample opportunities to practice. Everyone
you meet can be your practice session.
Zubin Mehta
Essentially, the [New York] Philharmonic is just like any other orchestra-they
all have the spirit of kids, and if you scratch away a little of the fatigue
and cynicism, out comes a 17-year-old music student again, full of wonder, exuberance
and a tremendous love of music.
Richard Bach, Illusions
Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours!
Daniel Goleman, Primal Leadership
Gifted leadership occurs when heart and head--feeling and thought--meet. These
are the two winds that allow a leader to soar.
Doc Childre
One of the biggest contributors to low-energy fatigue is blame. Blaming a boss
who made you work late or your "impossible, overloaded life" will only
drain you. Fatigue from emotional energy drain results in diminished presence
during the workday.
Sincere effort to maintain heart presence helps us stay conscious of our energy
levels and make needed adjustments to sustain our vitality throughout the day.
Maintaining presence means we are more able to hear the heart's intuitions and
act on them so that we don't slip into energy drains of anxiety, overwork or
blame that lead to fatigue.
Carl Jung
Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of
ourselves.
Prof. Ludwig Wittgenstein
The aspects of things that are most important to us are hidden because of their
simplicity and familiarity.
Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D.
To know how to choose a path with heart is to learn how to follow intuitive feeling.
Logic can tell you superficially where a path might lead to, but it cannot judge
whether your heart will be in it.
Dr. Charles H. Mayo MD, founder of the Mayo Clinic
Worry affects the circulation, the heart, the glands, the whole nervous system,
and profoundly affects heart action.
Paul Ferrini
The choice between love and fear is made every moment in our hearts and minds.
That is where the peace process begins. Without peace within, peace in the world
is an empty wish. Like love, peace is extended. It cannot be brought from the
world to the heart. It must be brought from each heart to another, and thus to
all mankind.
Aaron Antonovsky, Unraveling The Mystery of Health: How People Manage Stress
and Stay Well.
We are coming to understand health not as the absence of disease, but rather
as the process by which individuals maintain their sense of coherence (i.e. sense
that life is comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful) and ability to function
in the face of changes in themselves and their relationships with their environment.

Appreciation is like looking through a wide-angle lens that lets you see the
entire forest, not just the one tree limb you walked up on.
Democritus, (460?-370? BC)
Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold, the feeling of happiness
dwells in the soul.
A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and
his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and
his heart is an artist.
Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The
HeartMath Solution
Whether we're aware of it or not, an energy economy game is going on inside of
us throughout life. Our inner experience over the course of each day includes
thousands of thoughts, feelings, and impressions that directly impact our energy
level.
Igor Stravinsky
In order to create there must be a dynamic force, and what force is more potent
than love?
Goethe
We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise, we harden.
N. Smith
When you live in reaction, you give your power away. Then you get to experience
what you gave your power to.
Doc Childre and Bruce Cryer, From
Chaos to Coherence
Intuition does not always appear as the ingenious breakthrough or something grandiose.
Intuitive thoughts, feelings, and solutions often manifest themselves as good
old common sense. Common sense is efficient.
Hellen Keller
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children
of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run
than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
