Greetings from the Editor:
Expanding Inner Horizons
My life has been a journey of continual expansion of inner horizons. My key is self-inquiry. Whenever I have a problem, overreact to something or someone, feel out of sorts, or lose my neutral perspective, what do I do? I spend time alone and have a serious talk with myself. I ask myself questions like, what do you need to accept, what are you feeling, what do you want that you're not getting, what do you need? Maybe I need to communicate to someone, change a habit, uproot a negative pattern, or connect to mother earth. I may journal-write to gain clarity about the direction I want to take or to write some healing affirmations. Any one of these expand my awareness about myself which improves my satisfaction with myself and my relationships.
Self-inquiry helps me understand and accept myself. It also allows me to help others understand themselves when asked. May you be inspired to study your inner self for improvement and satisfaction with your life.
Namaste,
Suzanne

When prayer is intentional it can help you in many ways, such as boost acceptance of unwanted events, bring deep peace and calm when stressed with an overactive mind, or help with loss while going through the grief process. Prayer can help others when you say prayers for them as well. In addition, prayer empowers all the good things in our life, such as improving our relationships, our creative abilities and choices, and making positive changes.
A prayer of gratitude has a very high vibration that moves us to see and focus on the positives in our life. A prayer can be short and simple, such as thinking, "Thank you for this day and for my life." May you discover a type of prayer that adds to the richness of your life in one of the following examples of prayers from different traditions...
