August 30th, 2015

Welcome... Our InnerSelf welcomes your Inner Self.

The month of August draws to a close, and September is upon us. Fall is the time of harvest, and we also are "harvesting" the consequences of our choices and our actions.The "waves" we have created will be returning to the shores of our consciousness (and our lives) to be addressed.

Alan Cohen asks us: What Motivates Your Choice of the World You Prefer? while Joyce Vissell reminds us that Remembering To Say Thank You Is More Important Than You Think. Richard Bach reflects on Education and Dr. Bernie Siegel encourages us to pick up A Box of Crayons. All this and more is part of the greater picture of our "harvest".

Sensing, Understanding, and Using the Flow of Energy

Written by Karen Harrison.
