The Benefits of Inspiration

Inspiration is healthy for you...

In times of chaos, it is easy to feel overwhelmed, fearful, anxious, or depressed. This is partly because you experience what others around you are experiencing. Seeking out daily inspiration can help counter the debilitating feelings surrounding you and improve your health. Inspiration is also good for you because:


  • In a moment of inspiration you are most connected with who you truly are.

  • It renews you, uplifting a heavy heart or a weary spirit.

  • It inspires you to reach your highest potential.

  • It evolves human consciousness.

  • It's fun!

Waking the Global Heart: Humanity's Rite of Passage from the Love of Power to the Power of Love

Amazon Price: $7.15 (as of 02/16/2012)Buy Now

For the first time since the planet cooled 5 billion years ago, humanity is capable of influencing-for better or worse-the trajectory of evolution. This requires a tremendous responsibility and maturity of the heart.Only through a rite of passage will humanity shift from the love of power to the power of love. No mere sentimentality, this initiation is an urgent and wrenching shift that will uproot and transform every aspect of human civilization. This paradigm saves energy, reduces disease, is ecologically sustainable, and spiritually uplifting. It focuses on networks rather than markets, favors cooperation over competition, sustainability over exploitation, co-creation of our future over procreation.

Inspiration: Your Ultimate Calling

Amazon Price: $3.50 (as of 02/16/2012)Buy Now

Inspiration, Dyer writes, is the opposite of motivation and goal-oriented thinking, the latter, "grabbing an idea and carrying it through to an acceptable conclusion." Inspiration, on the other hand, is when "an idea has taken hold of us from the invisible reality of Spirit."
