Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
Everything we see is seen through our eyes and beliefs, thus our interpretation of it. Everything we say and believe is also colored with our interpretation of what we perceive around us: people, things, actions, words... Yet we can learn to perceive more clearly, communicate more compassionately, and be detached from beliefs. We can start to see each moment as a new situation, a new day, a new event.
Letting go of old patterns and preconceived notions and beliefs will lead us to creating a better life for ourselves and others. Each week, we at InnerSelf, strive to bring you articles to assist you on your path.
Scroll down for the new articles and videos that were added to the website this week.
Please visit our YouTube channel and subscribe. Thank you.
Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, health-full, and loving week.
