InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
August 6, 2024
The focus for today is:
I choose to see with the eyes of the soul.
Today's inspiration was written by Edward Tick, PhD:
Everything we learn from established health and mental health practices teaches us to think and behave in certain limited ways from within a limited worldview defined by history and the times.
Everything else is just tools in your medicine bag. Seek the “ahistorical self” and “experiences akin to the ancients” that are bigger, deeper, wiser than the times we are trapped in.
In Dennis Slattery’s words, “see with the eyes of the soul rather than with the vision of the intellect.”

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of being in tune with the eyes of your soul (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: We have learned to interpret events through the teachings we have received... through the eyes of logic, science, and sometimes, cold-heartedness. It is time for us to learn how to see with the eyes of the soul, the eyes of Love, and to live in the same way -- through the soul and with Love.
Our focus for today: I choose to see with the eyes of the soul.

Soul Medicine: Healing through Dream Incubation, Visions, Oracles, and Pilgrimage
by Edward Tick, PhD
Using both ancient wisdom and modern depth psychology alongside stories of healings from his more than 25 years of guiding Vietnam veterans on Greek pilgrimages, Edward Tick explores how we all can use ancient healing philosophies and practices to achieve holistic healing today. He examines the interaction between mind and body (psyche and soma) and between physical illness and the soul to heal PTSD and trauma. He explains the art of making accurate and holistic interpretations of signs, symbols, and symptoms to determine what they reveal about the soul.
Showing how dreams and other transpersonal experiences are essential components of soul medicine, the author reveals how restoration of the soul facilitates true healing.
