The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
It is the nature of babies to be in bliss.
Interpretation
Babies naturally experience happiness and joy, reflecting their unconditioned state of being.
This quote by Deepak Chopra emphasizes that the inherent state of infants is one of blissful contentment, untouched by the complexities and stresses of adult life. It suggests that as we grow, we often lose this natural state, and it invites us to reconnect with that innate joy and simplicity that babies embody.
In practice
This quote can inspire a mindfulness workshop focused on rediscovering joy.
The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
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. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. 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. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.
Have the depth of faith to regard everything as a source for creating happiness and value.
Gratitude is a dialysis of sorts... it flushes the self-pity out of our systems.
I'll keep working as long as I live because singing has taken on the feeling of joy that I had when I started, when my only responsibility was to sing well.
A person who's happy will make others happy; a person who has courage and faith will never die in misery
If we depend for our happiness on another, on society or on environment, they become essential to us; we cling to them, and any alteration of these we violently oppose because we depend upon them for our psychological security and comfort.
The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
