This week we reflect on courage... Courage is not just about the physical mastery of a fear... like running into a burning building to rescue someone. Courage also has to do with personal transformation... having the courage to change, to take a new step in either behavior, attitude, as well as action.
This week we take a look at various forms of communication... whether with ourselves, other humans (present or passed on), plants, and our dreams' communications with us... as well as the "dos and don'ts" of good communication.
What is a miracle? Wikipedia defines a miracle as "an event that seems inexplicable by natural or scientific laws." But even some of these "natural or scientific laws' are themselves inexplicable, thus miraculous. The human body being the first miracle that comes to mind...
We all have a vision of what success means for us... for some it has to do with a fulfilling career, for others money and prestige, for others a loving relationship and family, or attaining certain goals they have. We start our journey to success this week with...
When things are not going well, there is always the potential and possibility of improvement. The basic knowledge that everything is always changing is actually encouraging. So this week, we look at changes, at choices, and at "where we go from here". We start with...
As humans, we have been very comfortable with our "dominion over nature" existence. We may even have considered humans as the only intelligent species on the planet, We might even think that we are the only species in the whole Universe of universes. However, we are...
Perhaps one thing that has become clear in our recent experiences with isolation and the pandemic is the importance of community. And we have also had to expand our definition of community.
This week we reflect on change... and the changes that come with aging (and, yes, the clock ticks for everyone, no matter your current age). But aging doesn't mean that we are "over and done with". Each year, the calendar turns another page, yet, we have choices to make as to how we shall move forward...

One of the most debilitating human emotions or beliefs is powerlessness. The belief that we are powerless, that we can't do anything about something in particular... whether that something is the state of the world, "things being the way they are", our health, our relationships, our jobs, our children, etc.

I think, if we are honest with ourselves, we would all admit that our world is broken or at least severally damaged... and we also are damaged, hurting, confused, and I daresay, lost. We are lost because we have stepped off the path of trusting ourselves, of knowing our own truth, of...

When people talk about the inner self, they usually focus on emotions, spirituality, and other "non-physical" aspects of our being. However, our inner self, literally, also includes our blood vessels, organs, nerves, glands, etc. So this week, we focus on the physical body and its healing.

The only constant is change. So said the Greek philosopher Heraclitus. And so have said many people since then. And sometimes when I hear this, I nod my head sagely, and at other times, usually when I'm resisting change, I find...

This week, InnerSelf reflects on repairing the world, but since all change must start within, we look at repairing or balancing our own self, and then that carries out into the world with our thoughts, intentions, and actions. Not only must we repair, but we also must focus on prevention... on how to stop things from breaking and deteriorating any further.
