There is no thought that is something other than emptiness; if you recognize the void nature of thoughts at the very moment they arise, they will dissolve.

Total healing occurs only when all physical, mental and emotional blockages are eliminated. In most cases, people only address one or at most two of these areas and that too at a superficial, outwardly level.

The healing quotes listed above give the keys to unlock the secrets of self-healing. They aid in treating not only the symptoms, but also the root causes behind our suffering.

What struck me most about these healing quotes was the common thread of mindfulness /awareness/going-within/non-attachment in all of them.

While reading and reflecting upon these healing quotes can and will provide relief from your travails, the real breakthrough will happen when you are able to integrate this quoted wisdom in your everyday life.

As they say, the proof of the pudding is in eating it; similarly the proof of a healing quote is in living it.
