Inner Power

Written and Narrated by Marie T. Russell Change is something we can't avoid. It is constant and it is everywhere. Our body changes all the time. Cells die and are born every second. Actually a search online just revealed that in one second, 1 million of the cells in our body die. Wow! And in one day, 330 billion cells are created in the human body. So change is definitely part of who we are, each...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I spread my wings and fly. In order to fulfill our "destiny" or life path, we must have the courage to express our truth and inner being. While society may try to "tame you" or tamp your spirit down by making you meek, submissive, and a copycat of whatever the "in" thing is, we have our own vibrant truth living inside our being, i...

Written by Gabriel Kram. Narrated by Marie T. Russell. For 99.9% of human history, the way we lived was all about connection. What our hunter-gatherer ancestors prioritized above all things was our connection to ourselves, one another, and the Living World. At a biological level, a connection system is built into every human being. This biological system wires together the neural regulation of the...

Written by Pierre Pradervand and Narrated by Marie T. Russell. In this period of growing world distress and challenges, it is good to remember that maybe Someone/Something else is pulling the strings. My dear friend, Sandy Wilder of the Educare Unlearning Institute , sends out daily the most profound and enlightening free messages anyone can receive. He recently sent out this poem: ...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I choose to live life to the fullest. There are many things to be sad about in life, and many things that are troublesome. Yet in the midst of all this, we must also remember to laugh, love, and live fully. There will always be light and dark, day and night, sorrow and joy, yet we must not get stuck in one mode. We must be willing...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I welcome all opportunities to love and be loved. Love is the most important energy in life -- both outgoing (loving) and incoming (being loved). Love is more than just between a couple, or a mother and child. It includes all of humanity, pets, all of nature, and Life itself. The more we love, the more connected we are to the sour...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I take the time to take care of myself. As caregivers, healers, parents, etc. we tend to take care of others first. Our own self-care comes later when, and if, we have the time, and/or the energy. That needs to change! If we drain ourselves of energy, and don't take the time to replenish, not only will we be empty of vitality, but...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I am willing and able to see the bigger picture . We may have a tendency to get so focused on the small details of our life that we forget the big picture.  After all, when we're busy struggling with day to day problems and challenges, it's not always easy to lift our eyes and see the light on the future's horizon. The good n...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I let go of things that are not for my highest good. Surrounding ourselves with things we don't love is a drain on our energy. And the opposite is true -- surrounding ourselves with things that please us, provides us joy. In the same way, eating foods and doing things that support our health increases our energy and wellbeing... A...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I look forward to the new experiences headed my way. Why are we afraid of change? Why do we resist it? I believe it is due to fear of the unknown. Because we don't know what change will bring, and because we don't trust either others,  ourselves, or the Universe, we fear change. But it's our choice. We can either be excited a...

Written and Narrated by Marie T. Russell "You really are the architect and builder of your life. Your thoughts are creating your  life moment by moment. They are either building what you want or tearing it down."  -- Handbook for Perfect Beings You Are The Architect of Your Life Have you ever had this experience: Something happens, and your immediate comment is "I knew that would happen!...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I am rediscovering the perfect Being of Love I truly am. All paths lead back to Love... inside and out. Some people prefer to take a more challenging route to reach there, others prefer to sit and wait it out for a while, and others just like the smooth sailing route. None of the choices are better than the others. They are all si...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   Perfection is a state of mind. There is no universal picture or description of perfection. Perfection, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. And it is based on each person's perception and judgments. Unfortunately, many people try to live up to an illusive and impossible standard of perfection. True perfection is found with...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I recognize that opposites are part of the balance of life. Some days, we might be super active, while other days we may be super relaxed or "lazy". Some days we are cheerful and outgoing, while other days we are quiet and reflective. None of these are good or bad, they are simply part of the balance of life. If we look at opposit...

Written and Narrated by Stacee L. Reicherzer PhD . It feels good to heal from damaging messages that you are “less than.” As this happens, you strengthen the voice that says, “You are so much better than this mess you were handed.” You become better at recognizing your boundaries and gain the ability to say “No.” You stop ignoring emotional pain and instead ask, “What’s this feeling about and what...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I choose my actions and words based on a pure motive or intention. Life is actually very simple. There is a cause and then, there is an effect or outcome. Thoughts, words and actions are causes, and they lead to an effect or result, which then comes back to us to start the process over again. It's really that simple. We do create...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   Everything travels in circles. As we can see in nature, things go in circles, or cycles -- whether it is the rotation of the planets, the cycles of the seasons, or rainfall evaporating back into clouds and coming back down as rain. All cycles, all circles. And we also are subject to this law of circles. Every thought we have is pa...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I am willing to receive an abundance of blessings. Our prayers and requests are not fulfilled by a magical being or cosmic sugar daddy. The energy of fulfilment is constantly present in the Universe, and we are the ones who control the on and off switch. Our beliefs, attitude, and expectations decide whether our prayer or request...

Written and Narrated by Annette Simmons. “Basically, what we do for a living is we slay dragons. And when we are done, there is always another dragon just around the corner.”  All heads nodded and a few fists went up in the air. The executive pointed at a PowerPoint image of a knight standing over a slain dragon. He was proud of his use of storytelling to bring clarity to daily struggles...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I am the architect and builder of my life. Have you ever had this experience: Something happens, and your immediate comment is "I knew that would happen!" Not only did you know it would happen, you predicted it! Maybe you didn't predict it in the usual sense of the word, but you expected it, you assumed it would happen, In other w...

Written and Narrated by Marie T. Russell We may all, occasionally, feel like we are living in dark times. Most of us have never lived through societal upheaval such as we are experiencing now. We may feel discouraged at the "state of the world" or at the behavior of people the world over, and even of those close to us. Or we may be downhearted at the life we are living or the situation in the worl...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   My life purpose is to be myself, 100%. Each one of us is unique. There is only one person like us in the whole Universe. So when we try to be like someone else, not only are we not being true to our Self, we are not being true to our life purpose. We have a purpose... and simply put, that purpose is to be ourselves, 100%. In a puz...

Written and Narrated by Rabbi Daniel Cohen. Many of us are hitting a new stage in response to the pandemic as we enter its third year. Pandemic slog is the feeling that no matter how much progress we seem to make, we feel stuck, anxious and a general malaise. We are less motivated and inspired to transcend inevitable obstacles and disappointments. In a sociological survey conducted by the Universi...
