A biography for Mariel Hemingwayhasn’t been written yet.
“My problems aren't so different from anybody else.”
“The experience of getting my Kriya, which is the meditation process that I do, was very powerful for me - though, as I explain in the book, I was really suspect of that kind of thing.”
“Well, I was passionately curious about what my body was doing, and when I got the lessons on how to meditate, it seemed really solid to me. It seemed real.”
“Manhattan, though, was an entirely different ballgame in a whole different kind of world, with a man who was brilliant and at the same time terribly charismatic.”
“I wanted out of my pain and that silliness, but I wanted an easy out. That's before realizing that there is no easy out. Before accepting that you just have to do the work.”
“I've known for years that you're supposed to be present. I know that thinking about what's happened or thinking about what I want is not going to get me anywhere, but until I quit doing it I'm not present.”
“Yoga teaches you how to listen to your body.”
“למצוא זמן שקט בחיים שלך, זה כל כך חשוב.”
“הבעיות שלי לא כל כך שונות משל אף אחד אחר.”
“אני לא לוקחת את עצמי נורא ברצינות. זו הסיבה שאני יכולה להיות כנה להפליא לגבי החיים שלי.”
“אני נהנית לעשות דברים שונים. זה מביא לקריירה טובה יותר. אני לא רוצה לעשות את אותו הדבר פעמיים. אני אוהבת את התפקידים השונים שגילמתי.”
“I wanted to share the experience of how yoga and meditation have transformed my life, how they have enabled me to observe who I am, first in my body, and then emotionally, and on to a kind of spiritual path.”
“I did Star 80, which was a magnificent experience as well, but still, I was at the height of my career at the beginning. Then I had to jump down the ladder and climb back up again, which I didn't understand. That was very hard.”
“I think we should be passionately curious about what we do.”
“Everybody needs a way out of that pain. Many people choose drugs and alcohol. Some people obsessively exercise or develop strange dietary habits, which is what I did. At least it got me toward a path of healthier living.”
“Starting out in a beginner class and really understanding the fundamentals of yoga is really important.”
“I believe that everybody comes from pain and a certain amount of dysfunction.”
“I'm not that old, and I haven't lived a life so far from the ordinary, really.”
“I got back into the position of taking care of my husband, which is what I'd learned that I couldn't really do: you can love and make things okay to a certain extent, but you can't fix. I didn't quite learn that until the kayaking incident. It became so clear then.”
“I thought my book was done, then we went to Hawaii and the whole last chapter happened.”
