Quotes About Projection

Prana can also be projected to another person for healing. Persons with a lot of excess prana tend to make other people around them feel better and livelier.

~ Helen Macdonald
I saw those nineteenth-century falconers were projecting onto their hawks all the male qualities they thought threatened by modern life: wildness, power, virility, independence and strength. By identifying with their hawks as they trained them, they could introject, or repossess, those qualities.
