InnerSelf.com welcomes your inner Self
As the human inhabitants of this Planet Earth, we have a lot to learn. Not just about the Planet, but also - and maybe more importantly - about ourselves and about the other inhabitants of this sometimes wild and crazy place. And not only can we learn from humans, but also from animals, from nature, and from our own inner guidance or spirit.
We've spent centuries learning about the technical parts of life on earth -- agriculture, science, industry, etc. -- yet as we now see, the glitch in the process of life on earth is not inert matter, but humans and their quirks and delusions. It's time to get in touch with our full potential -- and not just on a mental level. Mostly what is needed now is at the heart and intuitive level.
We must remember that we are body, mind AND spirit... and that all three need to be balanced and work in harmony with each other in order to create a life of health, happiness, and harmony. It can be done, and each one of us is the one to do it. Remember that you're in charge of you! You get to choose your actions and also what motivates them. Choose Love, choose Compassion, choose Harmony and your life will take on a whole new dimension.
We at InnerSelf.com strive to bring you articles (and videos) to help you clear the "human brain fog" and also to remove the heart shroud that many of us have been using as a barrier of protection. We can do it! And the time is now!
