HEALING QUOTES

This collection of healing quotes will bring a dose of comfort to your soul.

Sometimes we hurt. Sometimes our hearts ache. Sometimes we cry out in pain.

In your quest to heal and recover from the hurts that are part of life, you may be seeking for words of inspiration to guide you in times of sorrow.

Reasons might not make sense during periods of intense pain and suffering, and yet when given time and compassion, the sorrow would somehow lessen in intensity.

Getting in touch with nature during times of hurt is very soothing for the soul. As Deepak Chopra observes, "If I find a green meadow splashed with daisies and sit down beside a clear-running brook, I have found medicine. It soothes my hurts as well as when I sat in my mother’s lap in infancy, because the Earth really is my mother, and the green meadow is her lap."

And sometimes we have to go from one extreme before we can end up at the other end. As Marcel Proust points out, "We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it in full."

Usually when you've hit the lowest point, the only thing that can happen is an upswing to the road of recovery.

Meanwhile, hang on and enjoy these healing quotes!
