Quotes by Jasmin Jenkins:
“The invitation to heal is always present as long as our eyes are open and our feet are in this world.”
“The experience of being in the healing field of plant medicine is remembering that the healing is in receiving.”
“Everybody can get to be a lighthouse on our path.”
“Save yourself… not the relationship.”
“Things come forward so that they can be healed.”
“Grief is not linear. We heal one heart layer at a time.”
“When we shut down on our grief, we shut down on life.”
“Bless the avoidance. Then come into the invitation to feel.”
“It’s all divinely orchestrated.”
“Everything you do is an invitation to co-create with the Divine.”
“Comparing your grief is a thief of presence.”
