“When you can be still and still dance, you are a great dancer. When you can move and still be still, you are a greater dancer.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“When you can be still and still dance, you are a great dancer. When you can move and still be still, you are a greater dancer.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“Being outside changes our perspective. It changes things that can best do with a change. The wind dismantles the heaviness, the light reorients the mind, the greenness invigorates hope, and the entire majestic dynamic of nature reminds us of our insignificance and also of our absolute significance.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“How deeply and unknowingly we are all connected. Life knows us all and plays with our interconnectedness.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“Part of growing up involves becoming estranged from one’s birth family. If the family romance is not broken, one never truly grows up.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“Someone can touch you and keep their energy to themselves, and someone can touch you and let their being run through their fingers into yours. ”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“You don’t have be lying in a hospital bed to be alcoholic. Many alcoholics function at a high level and appear fine. But, bit by bit, as the dependence gets more control, their life starts to unravel – their body, their relationships, their work, their ability to be productive, their mood, their self-respect, their will to live. They have to give it the flick. There isn’t any other way. Give it the flick or it’s gotcha.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“The battle ended because no one fed it.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“People in the country wave because it’s important to them that they wave. The response doesn’t alter what they feel they should do. Apart from that, they generally don’t overthink things. They have too much to do.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“For all the talk about common sense, common sense is not always sensical and there are often more intelligent (albeit, less obvious) solutions. Further, what is good common sense in one environment is far from common or sensical in another environment. It is situational. City slickers can be a danger to themselves and others in the country, but the reverse is also true.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“When a soul leaves a body gracefully, it, knowingly or unknowingly, lowers its life intensity enough so that it can exit the physical body with minimal drama. Elderly folk, who manage to pass on peacefully, go through a process of gradually and progressively diminishing their life energy. They come and go, exiting and returning, until they finally don’t return again. It is common to see old people sitting in their chair, barely there, and then they will spring back to life until, one day, the back and forth is done. This is a good way to die. It carries the least amount of karmic refuse and allows the individual to move forward with less drag.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“There is a flame which both feeds you and burns you up. ”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“When a life is thrown from its body suddenly (by accident), or semi-suddenly (by an untimely illness), or unwillingly (by resisting death) there is damage to the system because the life-force was not prepared to leave. The exiting soul will struggle to make sense of where it is and what it is supposed to do next. It is a great gift to help someone crossover well. The person leaving will benefit from a clearer, cleaner, calmer post-Earth path. When people die, they essentially follow their instincts and leanings. Most of their human associations and attachments disintegrate. They are pulled, pushed, and drawn by their inherent tendencies. Advanced souls have a more conscious and intentional path after their passing.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“Healing balances things so that WE are more balanced.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“What more could a person want? More than partner, community, and career? There is a life beyond. Much more, much less. There is a flame which both feeds you and burns you up.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“We dancers are not just mucking around, having fun, doing not much of any use. We are building the foundational structure of strong and stable lower energy centres so that all the higher energies will find a suitable home in us.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“The most important love is not for the Divine. The Divine is inevitable, inescapable. It doesn’t need love; it is love – in all its tiny, grand, whispering, explosive, destructive, birthing ways. The most important love is for people. They are what we must keep. ”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“No matter where it is in its monthly cycle, the moon always has its face turned towards Earth. The day it starts to look away from us is the beginning of our decline as we currently know it.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“People drink because they want the happiness that comes with mental oblivion. There is another way – less damaging, more healthy, less up and down, more stable.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“The moon waxes and wanes with our passing days. Yet, in spite of appearances, there is no waxing and waning. It is always full, always glowing, always complete and perfect.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“When are things perfectly balanced on the outside? Rarely. And in those glorious moments when they are, it doesn’t last long. The only viable option is to try and balance ourselves on the inside so that we are not pushed around by what happens outside us.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“Creation doesn’t stop. It changes. It’s the changes that help it to continue on its constant creative path.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“The moon always has its face to us because that is part of its geometrically-perfect tracking-path around Earth. That, in turn, effects our geometrically-perfect tracking-path around the sun. If, for some reason, in some distant day, the moon’s orbit of Earth was even slightly altered (by the endless possibility of things that can and probably do happen in the universe), then our planet would also slowly change its orbit around the sun. Over generations, the Earth’s population would adjust to the changes, gradually stop reproducing. and eventually humans would cease to exist. Probably, some other life forms would remain for much longer as many are more malleable than us. It seems a rather gentle and kind way for humanity to eventually decline. Besides, if we can appear on a brilliant, blue gem of a planet, at some point in time and space, we can just as easily reappear somewhere else. Creation doesn’t stop. It changes. It’s the changes that help it to continue on its constant creative path.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“Some things are best hidden by remaining directly in front of everyone’s eyes.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“If you listen to someone talking to themselves, what they are saying is basically the same as what people are always saying to themselves in their own minds. The difference is generally not in the content, but that they are saying it aloud. The line between talking silently to oneself and talking those same thoughts out loud, unchecked and unawares, is the demarcation of sanity. If one wants to venture into extra-sensory experiences of life then one should have a very firm grip of that line. Otherwise, the fine line of sanity will be transgressed and the person may have a hard time retrieving it which explains why many spiritual groups are full of loonies.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“We should not interfere with anyone else’s energetic system without it being expressly requested or, in some manner, clearly indicated that it is their wish for us to do so. We are not the occult. We are spiritual seekers.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“Generally, touching wasn’t something that she was a big fan of. She didn’t need it herself, and found that it was not necessarily helpful to other people, although most crave it. She touched little children, a lot, because they genuinely need it to grow and thrive. She touched lovers because lovers are like children. Well, not exactly. But, all going well, lovers do have the openness, vulnerability, and playfulness of children with each other and so touching is both good and helpful. She touched people in dancing because dancers can only talk through their bodies. They have no other language.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“In any area of life, the one thing that inspires fearless devotion in followers is devotion from the leader.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“Confidence? Some of the most destructive things in the world are done with utter confidence.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima
