The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.

Everything is possible. If you want something, give something.
Interpretation
Achieving your desires often requires giving something of value in return.
This quote emphasizes the idea that nothing is unattainable if we are willing to put in the necessary effort or sacrifice. It suggests that our aspirations can be realized through a reciprocative process, where offering something, whether it be time, effort, or resources, increases our chances of receiving what we truly desire.

To promote the healing response, you must get past all the grosser levels of the body - cells, tissues, organs and systems -- and arrive at a junction point between mind and matter, the point where consciousness actually starts to have an effect.

According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light hearted and full of joy.

And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.
I will practice acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur.

My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.
I tell people, 'I was born in a little house at the dead end of a dirt road that had no name and no number, and you can go anywhere from nowhere.'
I was built this way for a reason, so I'm going to use it.
I always said a prayer before I ran, and my prayer was to win. My prayer was that God would allow me to run my best on that day, or better than my best. So whatever the outcome is, I have to be satisfied with it if I know I gave it my best effort.
When you left the house today, you had the intention of putting clothes on and you did. You didn't try to put your pants on today. You simply put them on. The same has to hold for all of our intentions. We don't try to be more loving partners. We make the intention, and we act on it.
When they say the sky's the limit to me that's really true
You just have to find that thing that's special about you that distinguishes you from all the others, and through true talent, hard work, and passion, anything can happen.
