Quotes:

“One of the deepest things for healing is love. If you connect with your own body, everything in your body is always communicating, if you lay down that foundation, your journey will be different.”

“Any kind of love that you put in any direction [in your body] will help build the love you have. If that’s not possible, then put love on someone else.”

“Emotions are not the first thing that we think of as a component of our health.”

“You have to trust the journey you’ve been sent on by your body and by your spirit.”
