Daily Inspiration: April 18, 2022

Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration  The focus for today is:  I understand and love the shadow, unconditionally.  Everyone wants to be loved. And most of us have had difficulty not only loving others, but also loving ourselves, unconditionally. And those two are tied together very closely. Our judgment of others is often a projection of our judgment of ourselves. So the first step in being able to connect to others with an open heart is to connect with our own self with an open heart. We do this by first becoming aware and understanding why we judge and reject certain parts of others (and of ourselves). Once we gain clarity, we can learn to accept and love our shadow, and thus the shadow of others as well. Today's Daily Inspiration is excerpted from the InnerSelf.com article: Being Aware and Understanding Our Connection to Everything Written by Marie T. Russell Read the complete article here This is Marie T. Russell, publisher of InnerSelf, wishing you a day of opening your heart (today and every day) Join me again tomorrow for the Daily Inspiration and focus of the day. Today, we understand and love the shadow, unconditionally. * * * * * This week's Daily Inspirations are inspired from: CARD DECK: Soulflower Plant Spirit Oracle Soulflower Plant Spirit Oracle: 44-Card Deck and Guidebook by Lisa Estabrook In this high-vibration, full-color deck, artist and plant whisperer Lisa Estabrook presents 44 beautiful and vivid Soulflower oracle cards, along with empowering and insightful messages from each card’s plant spirit, to help you tend the garden of your soul.
