Welcome... Our InnerSelf welcomes your Inner Self. Like the tides that ebb and flow, the moon that wanes and waxes, we humans also have our ups and downs. However, the more conscious and aware we become, we discover that the moments of joy are smoother and more constant and the downs are not "deal-breakers". The good news is that we can control some things in this world... our own attitudes, moods, and choices. This week our authors help up gain the strength and vision needed to create a life where we experience joy and fulfillment on a daily basis, rather than a constant search for that elusive butterfly called happiness. That constant of well-being is found by first answering this question: What Is Living Consciously and How Is It Done? and also, Is It Possible To Be Aware and Not Stressed Out? We have many resources available to us, either externally or internally, and Writing A Letter To Your Guardian Angel can help you access clarity and guidance. Of course, there are times when we are faced with life challenges no matter how aware or conscious we've been. Sometimes those challenges are in the present, and sometimes they are unresolved situations from our past. That is when we can benefit from A Day of Forgiving (which) Dissolves the Armoring Over the Heart. And of course, we've all experienced loss of loved ones at some point in our lives. The path to inner peace and acceptance lies in recognizing that Death Is Part of Our Life Path and Brings Its Own Gifts.
Yes, I know all of these things are easier said than done, but the first step in changing anything is being aware of it, and then trusting that the Universe sends us the tools we need to traverse the white rapids of our lives. We bring you the aforementioned articles (and more) in order to assist you in your journey. And we wish you smooth sailing. Friendly Reminders: * Please use this Amazon link if you shop at Amazon.

We’ve all read countless stories that stress is bad for our health and leads to weight gain, heart disease, and a host of other emotional and physical issues. We’re told to reduce our stress, which sounds like a solid idea, but how does one accomplish that in this crazy-busy world?
You don't have to like your losses, but the path to healing is through acceptance — a learned skill that comes only from doing. The more you courageously face your losses and accept what is, the more you will heal and the happier you will be.
An angel letter is a powerful technique that enables you to receive higher spiritual guidance. Writing a letter to your guardian angel will certainly help you to strengthen your communication with each other. The actual process of writing the letter will allow your intuitive mind the space to clearly receive angelic guidance...
“You owe me” is resentment. “I owe you” is guilt. And the longer our interactions go on like this, the more impoverished we become. We lose our balance, the heart is thrown askew. The gut tightens. The eyes cannot open fully. But forgiveness rebalances the mind and brings kindness to the senses.
No one does this conscious-living thing perfectly, so the idea isn’t to always be grounded in the present, but to be there as often as possible, certainly more often than not; know when you’re slipping out of it; and be able to bring yourself back as quickly as possible.
