Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
This week, we look at various relationships and at what we can do to enhance them... and thus enhance our lives and the lives of the All around us.
We are always in relationship... with ourselves, our mind-body and soul, with the people around us, the animals in our lives, the plants, the earth -- in other words, with anything and everything. We are always in relationship with Everything and Everyone in Life.
Of course the first relationship, and the one that the others are mirrored from, is the one with ourselves. I am not encouraging narcissism, but rather encouraging a starting point of unconditional self-love , from which all our other actions and relationships will stem. 1 + 1 needs to equal Love, whatever the two entities involved... human, animal, mineral, spiritual... Everything in Nature is in relationship with us, and we need to broadcast our Love in all directions.
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.
