Really Heal

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From one of the most prominent voices in the trauma conversation comes a groundbreaking new way to heal on a personal and a collective level. “I love this book.”—Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score “In a time when so many of us are being trained in cynicism, this book stands in necessary defiance.”—Cole Arthur Riley, author of Black Liturgies and This Here Flesh As we emerge from the past few years of collective upheaval, are we ready to face the complexities of our time with joy, authenticity, and connection? Now more than ever, we must learn to heal ourselves, connect with one another, and embody our values. In this revolutionary book, Prentis Hemphill shows us how. What It Takes to Heal asserts that the principles of embodiment—the recognition of our body’s sensations and habits, and the beliefs that inform them—are critical to lasting healing and change. Hemphill, an expert embodiment practitioner, therapist, and activist who has partnered with Brené Brown, Tarana Burke, and Esther Perel, among others, shows us that we don't have to carry our emotional burdens alone. Hemphill demonstrates a future in which healing is done in community, weaving together stories from their own experience as a trauma survivor with clinical accounts and lessons learned from their time as a social movement architect. They ask, “What would it do to movements, to our society and culture, to have the principles of healing at the very center? And what does it do to have healing at the center of every structure and everything we create?” In this life-affirming framework for the way forward, Hemphill shows us how to heal our bodies, minds, and souls—to develop the interpersonal skills necessary to break down the doors of disconnection and take the necessary risks to reshape our world toward justice.

What It Takes to Heal

Release the need to blame anyone, including yourself. We're all doing the best we can with the understanding, knowledge and awareness we have.

Look for things to feel good about, and watch how everything in your life will unfold to reflect that good - feeling vibration.

Surround yourself with positive people and situations, and avoid negativity.

The whole world can love you, but that love will not make you happy. What will make you happy is to share all the love you have inside you. That is the love that will make a difference.

Make time to relax, be still, and enjoy your solitude, indulging in much-needed self-care.

Smile and laugh often! Each day, find something happy, joyful, and funny about life - smile and laugh, smile and laugh, and smile and laugh again.

Connect with someone special, a loved one is a gift to treasure.

You are God's divine design. He does not make mistakes. Don't get caught up in wanting to be or trying to be like someone else. Everyone is gifted in different ways. Love being you.

Thriving is as natural as breathing itself. By relaxing often and breathing deeply, your natural thriving is enhanced.

Express your creativity. Delight in the mystery of your inner muse.

Reach for the feeling of well-being first, and everything else will fall into place. Be selfish enough to follow your bliss, and you will tap into the natural, pure, positive essence of you.

It's important to only think about what you desire, not what you fear.

By doing your best, the habits of misusing your word, taking things personally, and making assumptions will become weaker and less frequent with time.

Being in love can make you feel so powerful - it can make you feel as if all kinds of wild and wonderful things are possible.

Live in alignment with your values, vision, abilities, and potential.

You can never repay all you've been given by the creator. Accept the gifts. Live and share them.

If you feel bored, do something, for there is always something to do, see, or explore in this world. Keep in mind that boredom can also cause depression, so get out there and live!

The sun does not move.

The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding

We know that mistakes are more easily detected in the work of others than himself.

A painter will produce pictures of little merit if he takes the work of others as a reference.

The more you know, the more you love.

Our greatest stupidities may be very wise.

The mind of the painter should be like a mirror that is filled with as many images as there are things in front of him.

This Book of Quotes includes important phrases by Leonardo da Vinci adapted in corresponding English-Spanish paragraphs. The book is excellent way to read Paragraph by Paragraph Translation as each individual English paragraph is paired with the corresponding Spanish paragraph. The paragraphs are not long, so there is no need to do a lot of back and forth to see the English translation and the Spanish text. Leonardo, like his contemporary Christopher Columbus, possessed an insatiable curiosity and desire for discovery of unknown worlds. Only observation, says many times Leonardo, is the key to knowledge and understanding. Throughout his life Leonardo seeks to understand and control the nature. He constructed machines and original installations, built bridges, dissected human bodies and trying to break into the Providence of God. He could be called "Master of everything", everything that exists in the Universe, for his art and his inventions. Leonardo can be called the Son of God.

Understand yourself and those around you.

Something An Introvert Enjoys.

I'm very introverted and I think other introverts would agree with this!

For introverts

"If we do not know how to take care of ourselves and to love ourselves, we cannot take care of the people we love. Loving oneself is the foundation for loving another person."

"Silence is essential. We need silence just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us."

"And once we have the condition of peace and joy in us, we can afford to be in any situation. Even in the situation of hell, we will be able to contribute our peace and serenity. The most important thing is for each of us to have some freedom in our heart, some stability in our heart, some peace in our heart. Only then will we be able to relieve the suffering around us."

"Our life is a manifestation, and we can very well make that manifestation beautiful and meaningful and have a good influence."

"Love is the capacity to take care, to protect, to nourish. If you are not capable of generating that kind of energy toward yourself - if you are not capable of taking care of yourself, of nourishing yourself, of protecting yourself - it is very difficult to take care of another person. In the Buddhist teaching, it's clear that to love oneself is the foundation of the love of other people. Love is a practice. Love is truly a practice."

"We are determined not to take as the aim of our life fame, profit, wealth or sensual pleasure nor to accumulate wealth while millions are hungry and dying. We are committed to living simply and sharing our time, energy and material resources with those who are in need."

"Even if you only stop and focus on your breathing for a few breaths, or for a minute or two, it's very valuable."

"By listening with calm and understanding, we can ease the suffering of another person."

"Life is available only in the present moment."

Listening to and understanding our own inner sufferings will resolve most of the problems we encounter.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source ofyour joy.

If we are peaceful , if we are happy, we can smile and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.

Only your compassion and your loving kindness are invisible and without limit.

Wonder and thoughts concerning compassionate action that are not put into practice are like beautiful flowers that are colorful but have no fragrance,

Our own life has to be our message.

Smile, breathe and go slowly.

Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietnamese Buddhist Monk is a world famous peace activist. As the first to introduce ‘Engaged Buddhism’, Thich Nhat Hanh is currently residing in South France’s Plum Village spiritual community. During his studies in Princeton, he supported the non-violent activities to establish peace in Vietnam after the civil war. Moving to France, he created a monastic and lay group called Order of Interbeing and Unified Buddhist Church. It was later developed in 1982 as the famous vihara and Zen Buddhist center called the Plum Village in South France. His books ‘Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life’, ‘The Miracle of Mindfulness’ and ‘You Are Here: Discovering the Magic of the Present Moment’ were among the best sellers all around the world. Thich Nhat Hanh was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. Here we are presenting you the most blissful and peaceful words of the Buddhist monk who always stood for concord and humanity.

Thich Nhat Hanh Quotes

I think it's very important to connect and reconnect with ourselves and others. However, whether it's through reading, writing or talking to one another. Even if you just like or comment on a post on social media. That's a connection too. Find ways to connect and keep the connection going. It's very important. That's just one of the ways we can take care of ourselves emotionally and mentally.
