Inner Power

Written by Alan Seale To the intuitive mind, complexity is not a mystery, nor is it overwhelming. It’s just a different reality that requires a different set of skills and capacities—the skills and capacities that come from Whole-Mind Thinking and Whole-Being Awareness. The key is to stay in “receptive” mode rather than fall back into “output” or “figure it out” mode. Start by asking: What is tryi...

Written by Julian Reeve I’d just conducted a performance of the Broadway musical Hamilton in San Francisco in 2017 when I experienced a heart attack on my way home. Tests proved that my right coronary artery was 90% blocked, and two stents were placed to get me on the road to recovery. I was 43 years old. Work with a psychologist would later identify stress as the main cause of the attack. It woul...

Written by Anton Stucki In the great ancient civilizations, not the eye, but the ear was considered our noblest sense. “The ear is the way” it says in the Upanishads, the registry of Indian wisdom.  -- E. Berendt Sound is always present. Something audible is continuously happening all around us. We constantly hear, whether or not we like it. The ear cannot close naturally; it has no lid, no m...

Written by Simon Mair Where will we be in six months, a year, ten years from now? I lie awake at night wondering what the future holds for my loved ones. My vulnerable friends and relatives. I wonder what will happen to my job, even though I’m luckier than many: I get good sick pay and can work remotely. I am writing this from the UK, where I still have self-employed friends who are staring down t...

Written by Thom Hartmann Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination never put off ’til tomorrow what you can do today.  -- Lord Chesterfield ( Letters to His Son, Letter XCIX, December 26, O.S. 1749) Somewhere between ten and forty million men, women, and children in the United States have attention deficit hyperactiv...

Written by Kai Chan In May 2019, a United Nations report on biodiversity made headlines for the bad news it contained: A million species at risk of extinction. The biosphere’s many contributions to people are being degraded by a variety of industrial activities and resource use. Freshwater, soils and a stable climate are all under threat and giving way to droughts, floods, zoonotic diseases and mo...

Written by Lisa Tahir Transformation can, among other things, be compared to a fire burning away what once was. These experiences of change are the ones that leave us with deeply etched memories. It’s through traversing and coming out on the other side of hardship that we, and life itself, take on more value. In those intense moments we know we are alive. When we are stretched to our limits, the s...

Written by Erica Longdon In 2011, a World Health Organization report called noise pollution a modern plague and concluded that “there is overwhelming evidence that exposure to environmental noise has adverse effects on the health of the population.” We’re constantly filling our ears with noise, TV and radio news, podcasts, and, of course, the multitude of sounds that we create nonstop in our own h...

Written by Jude Bijou When I see clients in-person for therapy, and they are not feeling well, the first thing they blurt out is "I have a sore throat" or "I've been sick for a week." It's not, "I've had a good day" or "Those flowers in the vase are beautiful." They are focused on their physical ailment. Our askew physical state often dominates our awareness. Likewise, if someone lives with "depre...

Written by Joanne Brocas The angels are very happy to leave us signs of their presence, as they know that we often need to have tangible evidence to help reinforce our belief in them. Different kinds of signs left by the angels can offer us helpful messages, insights, and guidance, which will always be for our greatest good. Signs will eventually become less frequent and less important to you when...

Written by Lisa Barretta Tattoos are something you are going to wear and stare at for a long time. Once you decide to get a tattoo, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the body’s energy zones and how they interlock together as one consciousness. When you physically get a tattoo, it also becomes an energy imprint into the layers of your etheric body. The phenomena that the body, mind, and...

Written by Frank Wesselingh and Matteo Lattuada Imagine you are on the coast, looking out to sea. In front of you lies 100 metres of barren sand that looks like a beach at low tide with gentle waves beyond. And yet there are no tides. This is what we found when we visited the small harbour of Liman, on the Caspian Sea coast of Azerbaijan. The Caspian is actually a lake, the largest in the world, a...

Written by Tambri Housen, et al As the coronavirus pandemic stretches on, a small proportion of Australians infected have now died, while most have either recovered , or are likely to recover over the next few weeks. One thing many of us want to know is for how long people who have SARS-CoV-2 , the virus that causes COVID-19 , are able to pass it on to someone else. Let’s look at what the science...

Written by Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf The reason I share "what works for me" is that it may work for you as well. If not exactly the way I do it, since we are all unique, some variance of the attitude or method may very well be something that will work for you. As the publisher/editor of InnerSelf, I read a lot of material dealing with personal empowerment. And some of the things I read really re...

Written by Sarah Varcas We enter 2021 at a critical point in human history after events of last year revealed what has lurked too long in the shadows, manipulating agendas to its own ends. The Saturn / Pluto conjunction of January 2020 cast light on those shadows, for all to see. The smoke screen of Covid-19, both tool and camouflage, has beguiled many but not all. The new religion of Covid which...

Written by Joyce Vissell "Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, a prayer said for another, or the smallest act of caring all of which have the potential to turn a life around." -- Leo Buscaglia After being so careful for nine months, my husband Barry mysteriously contracted the Covid-19 virus. Within days, he tested positive and within a few days a...

Written by Suzanne Worthley In Western culture, many have become removed from witnessing the actual dying experience as a normal part of life. In my hospice work, I often find myself not only energetically supporting the patient, but also providing guidance to family and loved ones who may not have a deathbed ritual or practice. In these cases, it can be difficult to know what to do when faced wit...

Written by Kim Chestney New ideas come into this world somewhat like falling meteors, with a flash and an explosion.   — HENRY DAVID THOREAU Though intuition may, at first, seem elusive, unpredictable, and mysterious, it is not, by nature, random or haphazard. Its processes follow very real principles and natural laws. Like a light­ning flash, we may not always know when intuition is going to...

Written by Lilou Macé I first heard about yoni eggs in Chiang Mai, Thailand, several years ago. I was there to interview Mantak Chia about longevity and Taoist practices, when I discovered that practice. I was immediately intrigued by this small, oval, polished stone and wanted to know more. I wanted to learn more about it and test it. I was excited to discover a “women’s secret” that would allow...
