Standout Quotes
“ Let your consciousness really focus as much as you like. When you're ready to just let it wander, and that rhythm of condensing and expanding is, for me just part of the rhythm of life.”Jamie McHugh [13:22]
“The planet is a creative process that is emerging and has so much variation. In a way, as human beings as members of the planet, not independent of the planet, but members of the planet, we have that same capacity to explore and experience all of these kinds of sensory-motor delights when we just give over to gravity.”-Jamie McHugh[18:19]
“ There is more to us than our pain and suffering at any one moment.”- Jamie McHugh [23:25]
“If you have at least 20 different ways to breathe, you can meet varying challenges.” -Jamie McHugh [27:22]
