The world in which we live in today consists of countless material possessions and desires. Media and magazines tell us that we should buy the latest trends and fashions because the celebrities that we worship wear them. But, what they don’t tell you is that no matter how many diamond bracelets or Jimmy Cho’s you buy, you cannot hide the holes in your heart or soul. These material things will never fill them. As women, we tend to carry the baggage of our lives and the lives of the people around us on our shoulders. People applaud you for the amount of shit you can stand. Oddly enough, they don’t praise you when you honor yourself and set up boundaries. But, I do.

When a woman heals, a nation heals. For each time a woman chooses to shine, she gives permission to all others to also step into the light and shine too. In honor of all the wombman out there on a journey of healing, here are 12 quotes to inspire you to push forward.
“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.”
― David Richo“
“I’ve experienced several different healing methodologies over the years – counseling, self-help seminars, and I’ve read a lot – but none of them will work unless you really want to heal.”
–Lindsay Wagner
“Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are. “
-Rachel Naomi Remen
“Healing is embracing what is most feared; healing is opening what has been closed, softening what has hardened into obstruction, healing is learning to trust life.”
-Jeanne Achterberg
“The greatest barrier to own own healing is not the pain, sorrow or violence inflicted upon us as children. Our greatest hindrance is our ongoing capacity to judge, to criticize, and to bring tremendous harm to ourselves. If we can harden our heart against ourselves and meet our most tender feelings with anger and condemnation, we simultaneously armor our heart against the possibility of gentleness, love and healing.”
-Wayne Muller
“Healing takes time. Despite great advances in medicine, the biggest part of your recovery is attributable to the enormous healing power inside you. The body heals itself according to its own timetable–anxious thoughts never hasten recuperation. “
-Criswell Freeman
“Healing is the application of love.”
-Iyanla Vanzant
“It has been said that time heals all wounds. The truth is that time does not heal anything. It merely passes. it is what we do during the passing of time that helps or hinders the healing process.”
-Jay Marshall
“By far the strongest poison to the human spirit is the inability to forgive oneself or another person. Forgiveness is no longer an option but a necessity for healing.”
-Caroline Myss
“Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.”
-unknown
“Before healing others, Heal yourself.”
-Anonymous
“Any illness is a direct message to you that tells you how you have not been loving who you are, cherishing yourself in order to be who you are. This is the basis of all healing. “
-Barbara Brennan
