InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
April 3, 2023
The focus for today's inspiration is:
I am growing up to be a contented, loving, and lovable person.
If self-love is not nurtured by the heart of wisdom it can easily fall between the cracks of selfishness and self-absorption. Self-love is not about fulfilling wants and desires that were not met by parents.
It is a long journey finding one’s inner self, one’s vulnerability, one’s fragility, one’s strength and good discipline accompanied by consistency.
Self-love has to have a strong, disciplined base if we are to grow up into contented loving and lovable people. If we are too emotionally attached to our inner child she will never attain inner authority or self-worth.

The Last Ecstasy of Life: Celtic Mysteries of Death and Dying
by Phyllida Anam-Áire
In the Celtic tradition dying is considered an act of birthing, of our consciousness passing from this life to the next. Informed by an early near-death experience, spiritual midwife and former nun Phyllida Anam-Áire offers an intimate overview of the sacred stages of the dying process seen through the lens of her Celtic heritage. Compassionately describing the final dissolution of the elements, she emphasizes how important it is to resolve and integrate our psycho-spiritual shadows and wounds in this lifetime.
