"Intention is extremely powerful. Without the intention, it is not prayer, it is just a mental exercise."
"The body is the place where unresolved emotions or events are stored."
"In silence, God is action"
"Don't resist the thoughts but be friendly toward them and gently return to the sacred word."
"Don't use the sacred word as a bulldozer or baseball bat. This prayer is totally nonviolent."
