Today's Inspiration

presented by Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com

December 21, 2022

The focus for today's inspiration is:

I use intuitive and heart-centered practices
to heal and revive my spirit.

Discover what feels right and question and be critical of anyone or anything that proscribes what your path should look like and entail.

We also need to define for ourselves what feels enlightening, uplifting, empowering, applicable, and relevant to us in our personal life.

Regardless of culture, race, ethnicity, and traditions, learning intuitive and heart-centered earth practices and developing a safe, fun, and exploratory space of creation can heal and revive our spirit on many levels.
