InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

The Pathway to Integrated Living
— Daily reminders for a conscious, connected life —
Look at the trees. Each one different, each one beautiful, each with its own place on the land. When two grow too close, they don't compete — they entwine and grow together. In the highest alpine valleys, tiny flowers push through solid rock, proving that nourishment and life exist everywhere. The sun doesn't choose who deserves its light. It just shines. Maybe it's time we stopped discriminating against ourselves, too. We are all worthy of our particular place on this planet, worthy of that life-giving sunlight, worthy of love.
The focus for today is:
You are built of the same resilient essence as the earth, and sometimes you just need to remember that.
Today's message is inspired by Lauren Walker, author of the book: The Energy to Heal: Find Lasting Freedom from Stress and Trauma through Energy Medicine Yoga
Lauren weaves together lessons from nature — from the self-regulating balance of ecosystems to the healing power of mycelium — with practical wisdom for our own resilience. As she writes: "If we remove adversity, we can heal and thrive. If you can remember that you, too, are made up of the very same things as the earth and that you are a part of the earth, it makes it easier to come back to that center." Today's invitation is simple: go outside. Take off your shoes. Touch the earth. Even if it's just one tree in a city square, even if it's just a handful of soil or a flower on your windowsill — reconnect with what you're made of.
