I am a great fan of the teachings of Gerald Jampolsky whose work is very much aligned with Petrea’s work and Quest for Life.
Here are some of my favourite quotes from this lovely book… I hope you find them as inspiring as I do.
‘All healing is inner healing… love is our only function and destiny’
‘Be still and listen to your inner voice and trust what you hear’
‘Our emphasis is on how we go, not where we go… Our part is to gently trust so that we can act from peace’
‘We have an internal physician… the voice of love’
‘It is what we do with our hearts that affects others most deeply. We love from heart to heart’
‘Set yourself a goal that can be fulfilled where you stand [that is…right now]’
‘True healing is not a manipulation of an external situation. It is a change of heart, not a change of circumstances’
‘Any form of attack is a call for help, and the answer to every call for help is gentleness’
‘We can be peaceful inside regardless of what is happening outside… we can choose peace’
Personally, I have been working with these inspirational words for many years. It’s not always easy but on a good day, I manage my attitude well and on a ‘tricky day’, I use them to encourage me towards a more hopeful, forgiving state of mind.
I wish you all peace
