was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

NEW ATTITUDES... NEW POSSIBILITIES


Welcome to the July 4th, 2004 edition of InnerSelf Magazine.

On this weekend where we traditionally celebrate freedom, we take a look at "inner freedoms" -- freedom from guilt, shame, freedom from our innermost fears. Fear of dying, fear of aging, and fear of life itself can be stumbling blocks on our road to self-realization.

We present you with some healing modalities to transcend the limitations -- whether these limitations are imposed by society or self- imposed --  to our ultimate fulfillment. We can all ultimately radiate the innate love, joy, and divinity that resides in the center of our being.

With love and best wishes              
from our InnerSelf to yours...

* THIS ISSUE'S ARTICLES *

Desiring Happiness
by Daisaku Ikeda.

We all desire happiness, and yet happiness seems to be just beyond our reach. However many "how to be happy" books might appear, human beings are still largely beset by the same problems as their ancestors. The poor seek wealth, the sick yearn to be healthy, those suffering from domestic strife crave harmony, and so on. Even if we secure wealth, health and a happy home life, we find ourselves confronted by problems in other areas.

Facing Fears -- Life, Death, Aging...
by Denise Linn.

Each fear is like a small sub-personality inside of you demanding to be heard. One "fear-being" might chatter, "Don't go outside. It's raining. You'll catch a cold." Another might be whimpering in your ear, "Don't fall in love. You know you'll get hurt!" We hold our fears captive and even justify them, declaring, "That's just who I am." Remember this: you have fears ... but you are not fear.

Guilt, Shame, Ecstasy
by Georg Feuerstein,Ph.D.

Everyone has experienced guilt at one time or another. In fact, millions of people are burdened by feelings of guilt of all sorts, especially sexual guilt. But what is guilt? What, in particular, is sexual guilt? Where does it come from? How does it differ from shame? What is the effect of guilt on us? Can we ever completely rid ourselves of guilt? Should we even attempt do so?

Healing Sexual Energies
by Michelle Rios Rice Hennelly &
R. Kevin Hennelly.
It is time for us to rethink our beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors about the use we make of our sexual energies. How and with whom we use these energies are among the most important decisions we shall ever make in life. The consequences are immediate for the entire gamut of life lived, from the physical to the subtler mental and emotional levels we inhabit, to whatever higher-mindedness we may aspire toward, whether ethical, philosophical, or spiritual...

Six Healing Sounds
by Mantak Chia.

For optimal health, you must learn how to take care of yourself; you must learn how to clear out your negative energy and transform it to positive healthy energy. Maintaining yourself in this way will surely enhance any other therapy you are receiving. The Six Healing Sounds practice is a simple yet powerful tool to promote physical, energetic, and emotional healing and balance.

DEAR CHILD
 


Dear Child,

Be grateful for your parents, even in their imperfection.  Know that they did/do the best they are capable of. 

Bless them.  Love them.  Release them. 

Know that they also are Children of God, struggling sometimes but still doing the best that they know how to do.

                        All is well, Child of God.

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE


     Mastering the Tasks of Life..

Life does, in fact, present each of us with a series of tasks that we must learn to master. These tasks can become so all-consuming that people forget the task for which they incarnated: to find the God in the center of their being and get in tune with their individual life purposes.

-- Mother Clare Watts, Giving Birth To God
