Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
The one thing that we need in order to cure our ills, whether they are personal in nature, or societal and planetary, is personal empowerment. We must no longer be victims of either our own doubts and fears, or of the attitudes we are surrounded with by society.
This week our authors share various means of empowerment, for our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being as well as for planetary health and well-being.
Scroll down for the new articles and videos that were added to the website this week.
Please visit our YouTube channel and subscribe. Thank you.
Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, health-full, and loving week.
