Welcome... Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
This week, we focus on new beginnings... having a new attitude to create new possibilities and new realities. The expression that came to mind as I started to write this was: "Out with the old and in with the new." The first step in creating a new reality is to be willing to let go of our old beiefs, our old patterns, our old "set-in-our-ways" behaviors. This is indeed time for a new attitude so we cn create new realities and new experiences.
Speaking of new, this month, Planet Earth is being visited by a comet named "Neowise", which can be "translated" to New Wisdom. Surely wisdom, new or old, is a welcome sight in the heavens and on earth. (For more info about the comet and its effects, read the "Astrological Journal for the Week".)
Our authors this week facilitate the process of getting in touch with new wisdom and creating a new experience by bringing us their insights and perspectives. We start our featured articles with "Giving Birth to the Future and Achieving A More Life-Affirming Outcome" and follow that with "Rediscovery – Seeing with Our Hearts".
Our new wisdom comes in handy when we are "Taking The Next Steps: So Many Possibilities, So Many Choices". So many avenues are open to us on our journey as we move into rediscovering and "Awakening to the Miraculous Results of Energy Healing". Our new wisdom can come from many sources and one is shared in this article by Nancy Windheart who brings us "Animal Perspectives on the Corona Virus".
To get in touch with inner wisdom and also the wisdom of the Cosmos, we must be willing to change how we've "always" believed things worked, whether with life in general, with our health, and especially with creating the future. Women especially have had ingrained beliefs dealing with the transition called the "change of life". Discover the "Myths and Misconceptions about Menopause and How Sasang Medicine Can Help".
So this is a time to step out of the old ways, the old attitudes, the old beliefs, the old restrictions, and move forward to creating a new world, a new experience, and literally start living and experiencing "heaven on Earth".
Scoll down below for the links to this week's features articles (mentioned above) as well as the numerous new articles added to the website this week.
Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, healthy, and loving week.

Giving Birth to the Future and Achieving A More Life-Affirming Outcome
Written by Ariane Burgess
I have heard women say, “I don’t know where to begin.” We begin with ourselves; we then work together to make changes on a local and community level and campaign at the national level, using the power of our government to introduce legislation requiring that corporations rapidly transition to regenerative, life-supporting practices in their business models.
Rediscovery – Seeing with Our Hearts
Written by Dery Dyer
In acting as a conduit for the universe’s love, human creation ultimately creates love. As author Maxine Greene puts it, “Imagination is what, above all, makes empathy possible. It is what enables us to cross the empty spaces between ourselves and those . . . we have called ‘other’ over the years.”
Taking The Next Steps: So Many Possibilities, So Many Choices
Written by Sarah Love McCoy
It can feel like this time we're living in and all the stresses of navigating it are doing the opposite of bringing us closer. The feelings of isolation and separation are real.

Written by Gary Wagman, Ph.D., L.Ac.
