InnerSelf Magazine - February 15th, 2004

InnerSelf Magazine - February 15th, 2004 InnerSelf Magazine  February 15th, 2004      "Forgiveness is the final form of love." -- Rheinhold Niebuhr       NEW ATTITUDES... NEW POSSIBILITIES Welcome to the February 15th, 2004 edition of InnerSelf Magazine. Each one of us is an artist, a creator, and our life is our canvas -- our emotions, thoughts and actions are the palette from which we create the panorama of our lives. If our life is not as we would like, then we need to fill it with the things that we need and crave -- love, purpose, inspiration, laughter, joy, and intimacy with the people in our lives and with the world of nature around us. This issue assists you in looking at the world of relationships -- whether with others, with ourselves, with nature, or with our "destiny". We are not in this life "by accident" -- we are here with a purpose, with soul growth to accomplish, and with self-healing and awareness of Self to attain. All of this growth takes place one "now" at a time... as we pay attention to the moments of our life as they happen... not by hanging on to the past, or living in fear of the future. Awareness of our moment to moment experiences, our relationships with ourself, with others, and with nature, will keep us on the path of our life purpose. Each one of us is unique and a needed part of the whole... Each one of us is a piece of the bigger picture... What picture do we choose to create now? With love and best wishes from our InnerSelf to yours...  ******************************************************* Shop at the "NEW & EXPANDED" InnerSelf Marketplace GREAT GIFTS for yourself and your loved ones!!!

When a woman and man join, the coming together of bodies is the least of the meetings taking place. The minds of the two people are merging with all of their desires, aversions and thoughts. The souls of the individuals are uniting, bringing together all of their hopes, dreams, sorrows; past, present and future. Relationships & Soul Growth by Ashok Bedi, M.D. & Boris Matthews, Ph.D. Psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut identified three kinds of relationship experience. The first...in which another affirms the validity of our strivings, secures our soul. The second in which somebody appears to be everything we would like to become, challenges our soul. The third, in which we experience another person as "just like us," befriends our soul. Cultivating Awareness in Daily Life by John Cianciosi. To develop awareness in daily life, we strive to be awake and centered in the present, clearly knowing at each moment what we are doing. For instance, if thoughts, plans, or memories arise, the mind is aware of them... Creating Your Nature Space by Meredith Young-Sowers. One of the best ways to heal a physical problem or reduce emotional stress is to interrupt our daily routines with experiences that reacquaint us with Nature. As we are swept up, captivated, and enthralled by the displays of Nature, we sense the immutable balance that is our own source of creation, our Spirit. Accessing Life Purpose by Hank Wesselman, Ph.D. Among traditional peoples, when a woman enters the last trimester of her pregnancy, shamans of her community place her in a deep state of trance. The shamans then connect with the spirit of the child coming into life, and they speak to it: "Who are you? Why are you coming into our village? What is your life purpose?"   THIS ISSUE'S COLUMNS: HOROSCOPE (weekly): by Eliza Bassett. Current Week;   Previous Week (NEW HOROSCOPE EACH THURSDAY)   DEAR CHILD: by Shari Rathman.
