Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Maggie Phillips
"Stress, pain, and mindbody health concerns require a combination of methods because no one approach works for everyone or every situation. I believe in an AIDs cocktail approach to healing. When the AIDs epidemic was exploding, health experts attempted to find the "magic drug" or treatment that would provide a cure. Eventually, we acknowledged a lack of success and aimed our efforts in developing an "AIDs cocktail" which involved a combination of drugs and compounds, each of which potentiated the effects of the others. It is this synergy that mobilized healing.
In my practice, I find an entry point method that privodes the best chance of immediate success for any given situation. Sometimes, this is as simple as breathing or noticing body resources that have become disconnected or practicing gratefulness. When each stepping stone to healing brings reliably positive results, then we find the next one to set in place until the momentum bridges the gap between imbalance and wholeness."

Principles of Healing:
"Something amazing is happening in medicine. We're discovering that, far from being always on the verge of breaking down, the body contains innate wisdom and capacity for healing."
_____________ Larry Dossey
"Stress: The feeling you get when your gut says "No" and your mouth says, "Yes, I'd be glad to."
________ Dick Francis
"The greatest discovery of any generation is that human beings
can alter their lives by altering the attitudes of their minds."
________ Albert Schweitzer
"The healer's job has always been to release something not understood, to remove obstruction (demon, germs, despair) between the sick patient and the force of life..."
________ Robert O. Becker
"Treatments themselves do not 'cure' the condition, they simply
restore the body's self-healing ability."
________ Leon Chaitow
"We have five senses in which we glory and which we recognize and celebrate, senses that constitute the sensible world for us. But there are other sense--secret sense, sixth senes...equally vital, but unrecognized, and unlauded...unconscious, automatic."
________Oliver Sacks
"We cannot be grateful unless we are grounded in the present moment and we cannot be grounded in the present moment unless we are grounded in the body."
_______Brother David Steindl-Rast
