Daily Inspiration
What do you do when your heart hurts from others unloving behavior or from the pain of life? Do you get angry and blame someone? Do you shut down or turn to addictions? Do you ignore your feelings? Instead, hold your pain with compassion and gentleness and give yourself permission to cry, which is the god-given way of releasing pain.
By Dr. Margaret Paul
"Margaret Paul created a safe place to heal. I am thankful for the opportunity to be in her presence and seek the ability to embrace my Inner Child & forgive myself for neglecting him. I'd recommend anyone who wants to move forward in life to come to an Intensive and learn Inner Bonding." Colorado Intensive, 8/08

The couples intensive allowed my wife and me to delve deeply into the nature of our 18 year marriage. Through our joint exploration at the intensive, our eyes were more fully opened to the splendor and divinity of our individual souls. This in turn allowed us to more fully embrace the sanctity of possibility that sprouts from our relationship. We left the intensive filled with a sense of wonder, awe and excitement. We revel in the vision of what lies ahead as we join our creative energies to forge a more synergistic, transcendent love.

''I have struggled all my life to feel good, to be able to make choices about what I want to do, who I want to be with, etc. I have never felt a deep sense of self worth. This Intensive feels like a gift, it has helped me feel hopeful for the first time that I can connect, heal, feel love for myself. I've read books and been in therapy for a long time - being here and going through this process has turned a light on for me. I am infinitely grateful and I honestly did not expect to feel such a shift, this work is powerful. Thank you, Margaret. If anyone is contemplating signing up for an Intensive I would tell you, no question, please do not hesitate. I know for myself, this experience has been life changing." Dolores, CO Intensive 4.13

I think the format of the Inner Bonding Intensive is really good. I learned and healed so much in a short time. I enjoy hearing and learning from other people’s work. When doing my work, it has taken some time for me to appreciate the directness of the way Dr Margaret offers insight. In the past I have been sensitive to receiving constructive direct feedback. I appreciate it now because I realize that it is in my highest good to get this direct feedback, learning what is my blocking my growth and learning the avenues to growth in a short time rather than years and years of talk therapy.
As I practice Inner Bonding more and more, I feel the loving adult forming and more joy in my heart opening up! Thank you Dr Margaret for showing me how to be truly present in my life! March, 2025 Virtual Intensive.

"I have enjoyed attending Intensives in the past on my own - attending with my partner was an even more rewarding experience since I was able to observe our system and my role in it. As well, we now have a shared experience and vocabulary to work through our challenges together." Couples Intensive, Santa Fe, 8/04

The Inner Bonding Intensive and Dr. Margaret Paul's wisdom, attention, and love brought out things that would have taken years to uncover in traditional therapy. I am more present, in the intention to learn, and have forged a stronger connection to my higher guidance - all in 5 days! I now more readily acknowledge the many deeply painful feelings that I formerly ignored. I also recognize the varied addictive behaviors I employ to avoid those uncomfortable feelings. Ive uncovered a slew of false beliefs that were causing me grief. Importantly, I've learned that I need to acknowledge my essence (innate talents and gifts) and to insure that I make time for the things I love in my busy life. Best of all, I now have the tools to heal and comfort myself and I own the fact that only I must learn to give myself the attention, approval, acknowledgment, and love that I need. Besides all that....the other participants were kind, supportive, and loving, the retreat compound was breathtakingly beautiful, and the food was delicious, healthy, and plentiful! Hiking in the desert hills, soaking in a hot tub with a view of the mountains, viewing a full sky of constellations (for the first time in many years) were also a special part of my Inner Bonding Intensive journey in Lucerne, CA. I highly recommend the Intensive to anyone seeking a deeper sense of self love and appreciation along with a solid connection to one's spiritual guidance. I will never forget this experience! L.A. Intensive, 2/05
