The Inner Bonding Workshop
Heal the cycle of shame and self-abandonment that leads to anxiety, depression, addiction, aloneness and relationship failure. Discover how to love yourself rather than reject yourself, and learn to make your best decisions through consistent connection with your personal source of spiritual guidance.
The innovative Inner Bonding process shows you how to:
- Rapidly heal false beliefs about yourself, others and higher spiritual guidance
- Heal guilt, shame, emptiness and aloneness
- Move beyond self-judgment into self-compassion
- Address the resistance that may be keeping you stuck
- Learn how to heal relationship conflicts and attain the intimacy you've always wanted
This powerful and life-changing process is the result of Dr. Margaret's over 50 years of personal inner work and work with her clients.
Unless you were raised by parents or caregivers who were loving to themselves, each other and to you, you may not have learned how to lovingly manage your painful feelings. As a result, you may be operating from your ego wounded self, controlled by your fears and false beliefs.
Your wounded self may often take over in unloving ways, trampling on your hurts, ignoring them or avoiding them with various addictions and controlling behavior such as:
- Addictions to drugs, junk food, nicotine, alcohol, relationships, work, TV or gaming.
- Co-dependence - trying to control others with anger, violence, guilt or compliance - making others responsible for your sense of safety and worth.
- Staying in your head rather than being present in your body
- Self-judgment, shaming yourself
- Obsessive thinking, ruminating, worrying
- Resistance to self, others, spirit - to taking loving care of yourself
These forms of self-abandonment not only perpetuate fears of rejection, abandonment, aloneness, engulfment or failure, but they can contribute to illness. Inner Bonding is a powerful process for healing self-abandonment and learning to love and value yourself.
Through discussions, exercises and direct work with Dr. Margaret Paul or other Inner Bonding Facilitators, you learn the Six powerful Steps of Inner Bonding.
"Transformational Beyond Words! My heart and soul and true essence overflow with love and gratitude. I'm so eager and excited to go home and do Inner Bonding, and share this with my husband and son, and most of all MYSELF at any given moment." Kripalu Workshop, Margaret Dean Godhard, Mom, Educator, Gainesville, GA

Daily Inspiration
Today, focus on thinking thoughts and taking actions that create peace within. Let go of attempting to control anything outside of yourself and focus only on what you can control - your own thoughts and actions. Today, make creating peace within, and filling yourself with love, your primary goal, and then lovingly share your peace and love with others.
By Dr. Margaret Paul
"The material is so rich and comprehensive and so obviously 'The Truth'. Margie is so totally congruent and centered in it. I leave the workshop totally committed and inspired to make the connection between my Spirit Guide, Adult and Child as a daily, moment by moment thing."
Byron Walls
"Margaret was phenomenal! She is full of love, widsom and knowledge. I love being in energy like that." Kripalu, July, 1999
Joy Ventre
"I had an enlightening experience in this workshop and a wonderful connection with my Inner Child. I realized I have mostly been sharing my truth from a wounded child and my loving Adult needs to be there first for my Child before I try to get this from others. I am committed to continuing learning Inner Bonding" Toronto Workshop, April, 2000
Linda Atkinson -
'I'm so happy that I made the decision to come to this workshop. It addresses the most fundamental issues underneath all the dynamics in relationships, self-esteem, and spiritual connection. It tells you how to do things, instead of the usual advice on what to do. Inner Bonding is a way of life that we practic every day!' Kripalu Workshop, 9.15 - Lenox, MA
Tracy
"I came in so heavy with emotional pain and am leaving feeling so light. I've had a major shift in attitude regarding myself and more importantly regarding God. I now feel compassionate toward myself and open to receive 'Guidance.' Thank you for honoring your Guidance so that this material could be channeled to us who so desperately need it." Rowe Weekend Workshop, 5/06
Diane Carey
"This workshop was exactly what I needed. I trusted my Inner Guidance, which led me here. Through the workshop I learned that my loneliness is based in the truth that I wasn't heard or loved as a child. My loving adult now is open to loving my inner child/wounded self. Although I still desire to be in a loving partnership with a soul mate, I now know I don't need that soul mate to be loved - I truly know now that I am loved by myself and by God." Kripalu Workshop, Lenox, MA, 2009
