Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
Our life is aa adventure... from the moment we are born (or from the moment we, as a soul consciousness, enter the baby in the womb), we are on a journey. It is a road that we have been on for a long time, and this moment, this now, is another segment of the road...
We encounter challenges, decisions to be made, forks in the road that give us no clue as to which one is "the best". Yet, when we pause and take time to tune in to our inner guidance, to reflect on the choices in front of us, and to breathe into the moment, the answersare there.
When we are doubtful of the next stage of the journey, we can remind ourselves: I am safe. I am supported. I am well taken care of. The Universe (by whatever name you choose to call the benevolent force of Love) has our back, and it is up to us to let go of the fears we are clutching, and trust that the future is bringing new wonderful experiences and joy.
This week's featured articles bring you insights and guidance to help you along on your life's journey. This is a journeyy that you alone are in charge of... no one else is in your shoes. It is your path, your choice, your calling. Let the Universe support you, guide you, and love you. The Love is all around us. As I go out in the garden in the mornings and nibble on the abundance of mulberries on the tree we planted a few years ago, I feel so much gratitude for the blessing that surround me, and that surround us all... when we open our eyes to see.
May your life's journey be full of joy, learning and healing experiences, and unconditional Love.

I interviewed over two hundred people in more than 100 organizations. I ended almost every interview with the question: "It's easy to see what's wrong with the world today... So, I'd like to ask you to mention what you see as the three positive trends in the world - in any…
Imagine that you are one of the many seekers and free-spirited adventurers playing your part in the greatest investigation of all time: the quest to understand what we are all doing here in this world.

The phrase “Get ready, get set, GO!” describes a formula for effective living. We screw things up when we leave out the middle step, by getting trapped on what I call the “see-do bypass.”
Author: Alexandra Wenman
The path of awakening is different for everyone, and the truth is that there is no set path, as each and every one of us is unique. In the same way, no two people will require the same level of help or support to navigate their way towards sacred union with the divine within.

I didn’t go to India to put on a Hindu costume; I got into Vedic teachings to uncover all the costumes I’d been wearing and to find out what I was at my core. The sacred literature of India explained this in a way that gave me the broadest understanding of spirituality I’d ever…

Responding as “none” or “unaffiliated” on religious surveys, people increasingly identify as humanists, atheists, agnostics, or simply spiritual. If current trends continue, by 2070 Christianity may no longer be the dominant expression of American religion.
