"I believe that so much dis-ease is caused by people judging themselves harshly, overriding their natural rhythms and instincts, and not being in touch with the reality of who they are. When we are disconnected from how we're feeling, for whatever reason, we cannot and do not accept personal responsibility for being fully present. We're not able to act from a place of authenticity. Our behavior-how we treat ourselves and others-comes from a place of confusion or illusion. The quality of our communication, instead of being clear and effective, is unclear and indirect, which produces discord.
~Martha Abbott
