This week, Sunday Reflections delves into what ‘wholeness’ means:

“Wholeness is ordinary, it’s simple. It doesn’t come with fireworks. It’s the undisturbed calmness inherent to the space that is you.” ~ Laurie Buchanan

“To me, wholeness is the key to aliveness. It is more than just physical vitality, it is radiance, coming from being at one with yourself and your experience. Life then flows through you.” ~ Richard Moss

“I’ve spent many years learning how to fix life, only to discover at the end of the day that life is not broken. There is a hidden seed of greater wholeness in everyone and everything…” ~ Rachel Naomi Remen

“Your life changes one thought at a time. And it’s the thought that we are separate from source, from love, that prevents us from being whole.” ~ Victoria L. White

“Out of the cacophony of random suffering and chaos that can mark human life, the life artist sees or creates a symphony of meaning and order. A life of wholeness does not depend on what we experience. Wholeness depends on how we experience our lives.” ~ Desmond Tutu

“The journey to wholeness requires that you look honestly, openly, and with courage into yourself, into the dynamics that lie behind what you feel, what you perceive, what you value, and how you act. It is a journey through your defenses and beyond, so that you can experience consciously the nature of your personality, face what it has produced in your life, and choose to change that…” ~ Gary Zukav

“I detach myself from preconceived outcomes and trust that all is well. Being myself allows the wholeness of my unique magnificence to draw me in those directions most beneficial to me and to all others. This is really the only thing I have to do. And within that framework, everything that is truly mine comes into my life effortlessly, in the most magical and unexpected ways imaginable, demonstrating every day the power and love of who I truly am.” ~ Anita Moorjani

“We usually look outside ourselves for heroes and teachers. It has not occurred to most people that they may already be the role model they seek. The wholeness they are looking for may be trapped within themselves by beliefs, attitudes, and self-doubt. But our wholeness exists in us now. Trapped though it may be, it can be called upon for guidance, direction, and most fundamentally, comfort. It can be remembered. Eventually we may come to live by it.” ~ Rachel Naomi Remen

“It is when you begin to accept yourself in totality that you come into alignment with your wholeness. For example, when you accept something in totality you are recognizing it within its full potential and full divinity.” ~ Victoria L. White

“You are the love you seek. You are the companionship you desire. You are your own completion, your own wholeness. You are your best friend, your confidant. ‘You are,’ as poetess Audre Lourde wrote, ‘the one that you are looking for.’ You are the only one who can do what you are looking for someone else to do.” ~ Iyanla Vanzant

“I flourish when I realize I’m already complete.” ~ Vironika Tugaleva
