Daily Inspiration

You will experience freedom when you no longer fear being rejected or controlled by others. When you define your worth through spiritual eyes of love, and are guided by Spirit toward your own highest good, you will move beyond the fears of rejection and engulfment and into the freedom to be all that you are.

More About Inner Bonding

Inner Bonding is a proven six-step self-healing process that has been developed and optimized over 30 years by Dr. Margaret Paul, Ph.D. and Dr. Erika Chopich, Ph.D. It’s comprehensive. It’s practical. And it always works when you do it.

Inner Bonding empowers you to self-heal the root causes of anxiety, depression, addictions, failed relationships and many other problems that inhibit your personal and spiritual growth and satisfaction. It teaches you how to love yourself rather than continue to abandon yourself, how to move beyond emotional dependency and attain emotional freedom, and how to heal the underlying control issues stemming from self-abandonment.
