Action Quote by Barbara Brennan
“Illness is the result of imbalance. Imbalance is a result of forgetting who you are. Forgetting who you are creates thoughts and actions that lead to an unhealthy lifestyle and eventually to illness… Illness can thus be understood as a lesson you have given yourself to help you remember who you are.”
