Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.

This week, as with every week, we bring you articles to lighten your experience of life, and make your life be full of ease, joy and love. We all have challenges and stresses to contend with, and to reach daily joy and peace of mind, we must traverse the hurdles presented. Our articles are here to help you in all your experiences, stressful or not. 

This week rather than introducing the articles to you individually, I am simply including them below for you to scroll through and select which one you want to read first. One of the reasons for this is to get the new issue of InnerSelf online sooner, especially for those of you on the other side of the globe where (at the time of this writing) it is already Monday, though it is still Sunday in North America.

Please scroll down for the new articles and videos that were added to the website this week.

Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, health-full, and loving week.

 A New Reality: After Trauma Comes Transformation

 Steve Taylor

In the midst of intense suffering, an amazing transformation can occur. It sometimes happens to people who have been through periods of severe addiction, depression, bereavement, and so on. I call this phenomenon “transformation through turmoil” (or TTT, for short).

 The Forgotten Stress Response: Tend and Befriend

 Paul Pearsall, Ph.D

"Fight or flight! That's the only way we cope with stress," said my professor years ago. This is our automatic alarm state that pushes our body to the max so we can do something very aggressive to win over a predator or perceived source of severe stress, or to hightail it away as quickly as possible.

 Coming Into Balance within the Changes of Worlds

 Laura Aversano

The philosophies born eons ago are as true today as they were then. Our interpretations are shifting, as well as our understanding of the world, synchronistically on many levels.

The Story Is Ending, Or Is It?

When I look at the trees in my garden, I see how they fully express life in their changing seasons. The wind blows and they surrender.

 Carmen Viktoria Gamper

Tension release is a significant part of self-healing in children and adults, and it is unavoidable when we become more present with ourselves in flow experiences.

The Sweetness of Life: Dream Intently and Lighten the Darkness

 Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com

I think that "sweet and sour" is an apt description for life... some sweetness mixed in with some sour, or in a non-food comparison, light mixed with dark.
