Our habit is always to return to a small view of our experience. Meditation trains us to return again and again to a larger view of our existence. - Mipham Rinpoche
It is important to see that the real source of healing is from within. When I talk about "optimum health," keep in mind that I'm talking about ways of protecting, enhancing, or activating that internal potential to return to balance. - Andrew Weil, MD (From "Guide to Optimum Health")
