Daily Inspiration
Attend to the difference between love and approval. Approval comes and goes, while love is constant. We can manipulate approval by doing things "right" but love from others is always a free gift that is beyond our control. We convinced ourselves that we can have control over getting love, but are you sure this is true?
By Dr. Margaret Paul
'The Intensive was a personally challenging experience to face the obstacles preventing me from touching/creating a Loving Adult. Switching from trying to do what is right to get love, to really loving myself, is starting - and exciting! Learning to really appreciate my Wounded Self has been a huge step in allowing my Wounded Self to not fight with my Loving Adult, and allow my Loving Adult to give love to my Inner Child and Wounded Self. I learned so much from the work that other people did. So much applied to me. I enjoyed meeting like-minded people for future connection. Facing my fears, knowing I was going to be challenged if I was attempting to control, was good for me to face my fears and survive the process. I would absolutely recommend the Intensive for people who want to learn how to move out of co-dependence to wholeness, there is nothing that comes close for the time. The Intensive was a great way to learn through immersion. Thank you, Margaret.' Colorado Intensive, 4.11

'Coming to an Intensive was a positive and rewarding experience for me. I was given the opportunity to work through tough issues I've been struggling with for years in a safe and supportive environment. If you're already practicing Inner Bonding, an Intensive will deepen your experiences especially with the relationship with your inner child.' Dolores, CO Intensive, June, 2009

"The Inner Bonding Intensive has been the most profound gift, and the best part is that I have come to the understanding through this Intensive that the most valuable gifts we receive are the ones we give ourselves. To deeply nurture and validate what our inner child is saying is our access to feeling whole again, just as we were in the womb. I am excited about the journey back to myself that I have now embarked on." Santa Barbara Intensive, 2/08

'I experienced what it felt like physically, emotionally and spiritually to shift from the intent to control to the intent to love. I know that if I can do it once, I can and will continue to practice this forever!' Colorado Intensive, 4/10

"[Of greatest value was] the unfoldment of the inner child in myself and every other individual in the group. Also, the love and safety of finding my wounded self in the comfort of my 'new family' as the group has become I finally got, on a feeling level, what it means to 'Let go and let God' and [realized that asking] 'What would Jesus do?' [is the same as asking] 'What is the loving action?'"

"Finally, after years of having relationships end the same way with the same
problem (intense fighting and thinking the other person is the problem) and
ending up alone, I finally was able to see myself and how I was contributing to
the problem or how my way or being was activating or contributing to the
result of separation. I see that I was addicted to anger, and I was looking
outside of myself to validate who I am. I know and will take the time to love and
take care of myself, and that anger is my addiction and not the solution." Couples Intensive, Santa Fe, 8/04
