Inner divinity is the spirit you were born with. It underlies who you are today. By rediscovering your inner divinity, you hold the key to bringing balance, healing, and joy into your life. Inner Divinity contains seven sections with practical exercises for using the concepts. Each section covers an area of life where you will benefit by engaging your sacred intelligence: your relationship with yourself, with other people, and with your environment, your intuition, your spiritual support, your health, and your future.
Inner Divinity is a beautiful weaving of different methods that create a holistic model of healing for body, mind, and spirit. Mara Bishop is a brilliant writer and healer who empowers us with simple practices to heal all aspects of our lives.

It's so good I could weep (with joy!) At first, I thought I'd read through it like a speed demon, but instead I found myself enjoying it slowly — and savoring/absorbing each page. I've never taken 8 weeks to read a book in my life! Inner Divinity has been my morning reading just before meditation, and it's really deepened and heightened my spiritual journey. My copy is dog-eared and yellowed/pinked with highlighter. I also have the CD and love it, too.

We each have an energetic personality, a way of interacting in the world and relating to others that is as distinct as our voice. You are born with your energetic personality; however, it also evolves and changes as you do. In many ways our energetic personalities mirror what we believe our character traits or outward personalities are. For example, shy people often hold their energy close to their bodies and suspicious people can be closed energetically to those around them. Extroverts send their energy outward quickly to connect with others, and aggressive people may emit overpowering energy. But your energetic personality is subtler than your physical actions. You may try to act a particular way even if it goes against your nature. For example, you may wish to appear more easy-going or spontaneous than you are naturally, trying to accept last minute changes in plans with a smile, but typically your energy is a more truthful representation of your true nature. For the more sensitive people around you, your “acting” may be undermined by what is sensed about you on the energetic level.

We communicate with each other all the time, engaging each other’s bodies and energies. Setting boundaries on that energetic contact can be challenging; however, limiting the degree to which you allow others into your energetic space can be crucial for your mental health. People, especially sensitive or empathic people, often have difficulty separating themselves from others, once their energies have mingled. If you are sensitive and don’t make an effort to protect yourself from other peoples’ energy, you will pick up thoughts and emotions from everyone you are near—either physically or emotionally.

You live in relationship to your man-made environment, such as your home, but also to the natural environment, the landscape, climate and setting of where you live, work or travel. This meditation on nature allows you to experience a variety of serene natural landscapes in order to feel the distinct energies that each embody. See how each place affects you as you relax and unwind. Use the audio player below to listen.
Although the content of the Inner Divinity CD of guided meditations relates to the book, it can be used independently for meditation. I lead the meditations with instructions and relaxing music with plenty of time to have your own experience. It's not a reading of the text of the book.
