Audrey Hepburn’s Beauty Tips
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
— Sam Levenson
"When the mind settles on the mountain, it becomes the mountain."
- Thich Nhat Hanh
"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time".
- T. S. Eliott (Little Gidding)
"Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny."
- The Upanishads
On resistance in practice…
‘In asana practice we may find an obvious resistance such as a strong stretch in a muscle. We can choose to ignore the sensation, usually resulting in totally the opposite result and an almost compulsive fixation with the sensation. Or we can chose to move ourselves into the sensation and work with it which ironically allows us to release from the sensation and let it go.’
“Spirituality is not a separate part of us, it is bound up with the body and the whole person, long before we enter this world. The word “spiritual” is often off-putting or misunderstood, because it is thought to be something esoteric and hard to define. But it is not, it is about coming from the heart.”
