Inner Power

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I follow the path of my soul. It is, unfortunately, too easy for us to fall off of our path, off our center. Distractions abound, whether in the world of media, entertainment, friends and family, and even health challenges. So many things seem to be present to take us out of our calm inner center where our soul resides. Negative e...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I awaken the magic of my inner creative spirit. The voice of our creativity is the voice of our heart, the voice of our feelings. When uncensored by the mind and the inner critic, this voice will help us create the most wonderful experience of life. For too long we have repressed our inner creativity and forsaken the path of knowi...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I seize the day and make progress on my soul path. What do you really want? What issue is important right now? Listen to what your heart is saying. Focus on it and open yourself up to divine guidance and inner wisdom. There is no better time than now. This is the moment, the only moment. So whatever your heart is telling you to do...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   The time of guilt and shame is over. Guilt and shame, as well as blame and judgment, just hold us down, and they do the same to the people around us. These dark energies muffle the light of our inner being and dim the love that wants to shine forth. We have limited our self-expression and our growth by carrying guilt and shame. Th...

Written by Joyce Vissell and Narrated by Marie T. Russell. I am quite sure that you, along with millions of humans on the planet now, are heartsick over the invasion of Ukraine. It is horrifying to see the innocent Ukrainian citizens (some of whom are children), being killed in this conflict. We are all wishing that we could do something to help. Yes, we could send money and that is good, but not...

rie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I take action to free myself, change my behavior, and let go of drama. The best stories and movies contain some drama and suspense. The human race loves excitement and drama, and the adrenaline rush it provides -- so much so, that we attract it and create it in our lives and relationships. Some of the drama comes from not accepting...

Written and Narrated by Marie T. Russell. I started to write the title for this article as "The Road to Transformation and Rebirth", then I realized that it is not the road "to" but the road "of". Transformation and rebirth are not a destination but a process that we live through, every day and every moment. Just like happiness, transformation and rebirth are an inside job. They are not "out there...

Written and Narrated by Will Wilkinson. Barbara Marx Hubbard was an inspiration and a friend. We met thirty years ago at a conference, then she hired me for a year and my wife and I lived in her communal home in Santa Barbara. For those who don’t know, Barbara was a futurist and her theme was “conscious evolution.” She once ran for Vice President and toured/spoke/wrote tirelessly on this theme. I’...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I allow myself to explore each new moment with vulnerability, curiosity and fresh eyes. Perhaps one of our greatest hindrances on the road of transformation and rebirth, is the expectation of "same-old, same old". In other words, we don't really expect things to change. We expect things to remain the same - whether we consider tho...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I transform my thoughts, actions, and perspective to align with my true Self. We may be so entwined with our routines and habits that we don't see what needs transformation. To discover what needs changing, we must look honestly at where we are, how we are, and who we are. Are we satisfied with our life or simply going through the...

The Do's and Don'ts of Meditation and Trauma. Written and Narrated by the author, Marianne Bentzen. Although a traumatic event or life experience often leaves us with a painful or even devastating personal aftermath, it can also be a hidden gift, a doorway into deeper and wider levels of consciousness that are only now beginning to be explored by science. Some people who have survived severe and o...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   All the choices I make are based on the intertwining of my past, present, and future. We oftentimes have judgments about our past while, hopefully, we have visions and dreams about our future. Yet Einstein told us that past, present, and future all exist simultaneously. Consequently, the now moment we are experiencing includes eve...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I move through life with an open heart and open mind. We must be open to discover the magic, miracles, love, abundance, beauty, and all wonderful experiences that are present all around us. If our  inner "radio station" is tuned to doom and gloom, to fear, to anger, to suspicion, and to doubt, then this is what we will be exp...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   My perceptions color my whole experience. As I had just finished writing these paragraphs, I hit save and nothing was saved -- it disappeared. My first reaction was, oh no, I lost all my work . But then, I realized that I could perceive this differently and see it as a new possibility... that perhaps my first draft was not the one...

This Feb. 22, the world hits an unprecedented milestone. It’s the date itself: 2/22/22. And this so-called “Twosday” falls on a Tuesday, no less. It’s true the number pattern stands out, impossible to miss. But does it mean anything? Judging by the thousands of commemorative products available for purchase online, it may appear to. “Twosday” carries absolutely no historical significance or any cos...

It seems like almost every plant-based food is being turned into “milk” these days, the latest being potato milk. It’s not surprising that potatoes have been chosen to be the latest plant-based milk. After all, potatoes have many health benefits because they’re full of important vitamins and nutrients. But how do they measure up to other popular plant-based milks? Continue Reading

During the pandemic, many of us have felt our stress levels rise every time we hear the word “virus”. But few people realise that just the sound of the word virus alone is likely to raise the blood pressure — and would have done so even before COVID-19 figured large in the headlines. We’ve all experienced how certain sounds can grate on our nerves, such as the noise made by dragging your fingernai...

The legal requirement to self-isolate when infected with the coronavirus will end in England on February 24, the UK prime minister has announced. It’s been two long years since the start of the pandemic, and during that time, our everyday behaviours have been subject to a number of rules and regulations. Removing self-isolation is one of the final steps in reversing these rules and moving towards...

Houses are getting smarter: smart thermostats manage our heating, while smart fridges can monitor our food consumption and help us order groceries. Some houses even have smart doorbells that tell us who is on our doorstep. And of course, smart TVs allow us to stream the content we want to watch, when we want to watch it. If that all sounds very futuristic, a recent survey tells us that 23% of peop...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   I take action on the path with heart. The first thing we must do to get ahead on our path is to take action. Simply making plans, and discussing what could be, is not moving forward. Taking steps, even small ones, one at a time, is what the journey of life and of transformation is about. Procrastination stems from doubts, fear, or...

Written by Paul Levy and Narrated by AI. Some of us understandably feel despair and pessimism because of the dark agenda that is undeniably being implemented not just behind the scenes, but on the main stage of the world for all who have eyes to see. There is very convincing real-world evidence to justify the pessimistic point of view of their narrative bias. Others of us can hold out the possibil...

Written and Narrated by Marie T. Russell. We all contain a blend of energies -- masculine/feminine, physical/spiritual, lighthearted/serious, childlike/adultlike, etc. Our task is not to transcend one and embrace the other. Our task is to learn to balance all polarities by learning to dance with them. We must experience the totality of the energies... the light and the dark, the masculine and the...

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration The focus for today is:   Every day is a day worth celebrating. Once we acknowledge and accept who we are, we must let our true Self shine. We must let go of our inhibitions, be passionate about our life, and let our creative spirit soar. Our inner child is yearning to express its innate joy, its innate love. It is time to give ourselves permission to sing...
