InnerSelf Magazine  week of February 13th, 2005      "Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived." -- Thomas Merton   NEW ATTITUDES... NEW POSSIBILITIES Welcome to this week's edition of InnerSelf Magazine (week of February 13th, 2005). One of the major components of "personal growth" is to learn to see things differently... whether it is to see people, situations, or ourselves differently, personal growth often requires "a new vision". This week we assist you in doing that by looking with new eyes at ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) and seeking the gifts that it contains. Pema Ch?dr?n also encourages us to dissove "solid views" and let go of control. James Robbins sheds light on why some of us get bored when we meditate (or anxious when we resist meditating). And Ric Giardina reminds us that it is important to be willing to ask for support. Dr. Timothy Johnson takes a look at men and relationships. While his article is taken from his book for men, its insights apply to both men and women. Wishing you an insightful week where you can recognize the blessings and the joy that surrounds you. With love and best wishes, Marie T. Russell...         from my InnerSelf to yours... Shop at the InnerSelf Marketplace GREAT GIFTS for yourself and your loved ones!!!

You will be much more successful at making core-level life changes if you enlist the support of the people around you. Most people have difficulty recognizing on their own that someone is making a concerted effort to change. It will be necessary for you to discover those people who are relying on you not to change and then enroll them in the change you want to make...   THIS ISSUE'S COLUMNS: HOROSCOPE (weekly): by Eliza Bassett. Current Week;   Previous Week (NEW HOROSCOPE EACH THURSDAY) Anxious & Bored in Meditation? by James Robbins. Iif you are not ready to meditate just now, ask yourself, Why not? Is there something you are avoiding in your daily life, some relationship left unresolved? Ironically, as you look into this very question, you are still practicing a form of meditation. One of the most direct forms of meditation, which Ramana Maharshi called self-inquiry, is to repeatedly ask yourself the simple question: Now who is it, who is it really, that's having all these problems with meditation?   DEAR CHILD: by Shari Rathman. New message each week. (See below)  About Men and Relationships by Dr. Timothy Johnson. There may be no more important component of personal happiness than your interpersonal relationships. Think about it: When things are going well with your spouse or significant other, your friends, your associates at work, or your family, you feel robust, cheerful, positive, content. Those feelings of well-being have a direct impact on your physical health, boosting your ability to ward off illnesses and keep your body functioning at its peak.   NEWSLETTER TIDBIT: A Blessing for You... (author unknown)  (see below) ADHD: Gifted & Creative by Thom Hartmann. Individuals with ADHD may be our most creative, most extraordinary thinkers, most brilliant inventors and pioneers. The children among us whom our teachers and psychiatrists say are "disordered" may, in fact, carry a set of abilities that was necessary for the survival of humanity in the past, that has created much of what we treasure in our present "quality of life," and that will be critical to the survival of the human race in the future.   Daily Inspiration Free!!!

But in fact, "nothing to hold on to" is the root of happiness. There's a sense of freedom when we accept that we're not in control. By not knowing, not hoping to know, and not acting like we know what's happening, we begin to access our inner strength.   Gift Subscriptions to help uplift and support your friends, family, and loved ones Weekly magazine AND / OR Daily Inspiration To access previous issues of InnerSelf Magazine, go to: 2004: January 11th; 18th; 25th February 1st; 8th; 15th; 22nd; 29th March 7th; 14th; 28th April 4th; 11th; 18th; 25th May 2nd; 9th; 16th; 31st June 6th; 13th; 20th; 27th July 4th; 18th; 25th Sept. 26th Oct. 3rd; Oct. 10th Oct. 17th, Oct. 24th Oct. 31st November 14th; November 21st December 5th; Dec. 12th, Dec. 19th 2005: January 2nd; Jan. 9th; Jan. 16th; Feb. 6th DEAR CHILD   Dear Child, Peace.  Hope.  Joy.  Happiness.  Abundance.  Love.  Health.  What more could one ask for? Do you allow yourself to desire these things or do you struggle through life,  counting all the things that you consider negative in your life? Do you show others love, joy, happiness, peace, hope and abundance of your time and love?  "Be" what you want to receive.  Be a magnet for good.  Be a role model for all that can be.  One person at a time, we can become a force of positive change.         All is well, Child of God.      ~ Shari Rathman ~     This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it          INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE    A Blessing for You... When I woke up this morning, I saw an Angel standing in front of me looking directly into my eyes; saying "What is your morning prayer?" I said, I want my loved ones to be Blessed, and He said to me again; "how many days do you want your friends to be Blessed?" I looked at Him . .. directly into His eyes, just the way He was looking into mine. I said "FOREVER AND EVER", and He said "Your wish is my COMMAND!" Then I saw Blessings coming down from Heaven in your direction. -- author unknown --  back to top of page    Your Participation at InnerSelf.com is appreciated * A Heartfelt Thank You to all our readers who are purchasing books and other items through our store on various subject matters (i.e. relationships, health, sexuality, astrology, spirituality...) ********************************************      We thank you for caring enough for the world  to choose to make a positive difference!       For additional inspirational and uplifting articles, visit us anytime at http://www.innerself.com \n This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it " b-email-label-fields="TRUE" b-email-replyto-from-field="FALSE" s-email-replyto="Subscribe" b-email-subject-from-field="FALSE" s-email-subject="Subscribe" s-builtin-fields="REMOTE_NAME REMOTE_USER HTTP_USER_AGENT" s-form-fields="from send " startspan --> INNERSELF MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION INNERSELF MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION FORM (free subscription) (Use the same link to unsubscribe) The new issue will sent by email (at no charge).  Your email address will not be shared with any other group, business, person, or organization.
