Each time you judge yourself, you break your own heart.

My beloved child,
Break your heart no longer.
Each time you judge yourself, you break your own heart.
You stop feeding on the love which is the wellspring of your vitality.
The time has come. Your time to live, to celebrate. And to see the goodness that you are.
You my child are divine. You are pure.
You are sublimely free.
You are God in disguise and you are always perfectly safe.
Do not fight the dark, just turn on the light.
Let go and Breathe in to the goodness that you are.


This is a quote from Swami Kripalu I hope you'll enjoy the whole thing, although I find the first sentence so powerful. It has a sense of the love and tenderness that he taught and lived. It came from a book on his life called "Heart of the Lotus", and if you google that, you can read more stories of his. (p.s. he spent 10 hours a day for 30 years in sadhana (practice) wow..... peace, Kendall
