In this first session, we’ll explore how, at the deepest level, only two paths in life are available to us: “the path of fear” and “the path of courage and love.” Underlying the choice between these two paths is the moment-by-moment choice of one of two intentions.

In this module, you’ll discover:

• Four different aspects of yourself that need to be understood and eventually integrated
• The intent to learn about loving yourself and the intent to avoid pain through some form of controlling behavior
• How to heal various forms of controlling behavior that stem from self-rejection and self-abandonment
• How to integrate your essence, ego-wounded self, loving adult, and higher Self
• The 6 Steps of Inner Bonding
• A practice to make you aware of the consequences of each intention

In this session, we’ll go deeply into your survival mechanism — the part of you that got you through difficult times as you were growing up. You’ll become aware of the role of modeling in the formation of your wounded self, which you can then heal and transform into a creative ally.

In this module, you’ll:

• Understand the false beliefs of your wounded self
• Become aware of the source of your false beliefs and controlling, addictive behaviors
• Discover the ways you protect against pain that actually create more pain
• Recognize how we develop into takers and caretakers — two sides of the wounded self
• See how shame has affected you and your life choices

In this session, you’ll discover the beauty of who you really are, and begin to develop your loving adult self, who can take loving action on your own and others’ behalf. Through visualization, you’ll connect with your personal source of spiritual guidance, which will become the role model for loving yourself and seeing who you really are.

In this module, you’ll discover:

• How to define your true, core self
• Practices for connecting with your loving source of spiritual guidance
• The difference between operating from your wounded self and from your loving adult self
• Access to your role model for loving action

Are you able to reconnect with your authentic Self at any given moment, especially when you feel anxious or afraid? Many of us never learned this valuable practice. The first step of Inner Bonding is being willing to become mindful of your physical and emotional feelings. Dr. Margaret will guide you to discover how to be fully present in this moment, and find the place within you that wants to evolve from your feelings rather than avoid them.

In this module, you’ll:

• Discover what it means to be “willing,” and the false beliefs that stand in the way of your willingness to feel your feelings and learn from them
• Identify the wounded feelings that you create and how to open to them
• Understand the core, painful feelings of life that come from others and situations
• Receive a unique mindfulness practice — to move from your head into your body — and reconnect with your feelings
• Explore false beliefs about pain and discern the difference between pain and suffering

In this session, we’ll go deeply into the intent to learn, rather than the intent to control. We’ll explore various means of opening to learning and what to do if anger, blame, and resentment are in the way of opening your heart to learning and becoming a loving adult.

In this module, you’ll:

• Enter a deep process of inquiry about the intent to learn about love
• Learn how to raise your frequency to connect with your spiritual guidance
• Discover and apply the power of compassion
• Connect with guidance to become a loving adult
• Go through the “Inner Bonding Anger Process”

In this session, you’ll discover a process for dialoguing with your core self, your wounded self, and your spiritual guidance. You’ll engage in a deep internal dialogue process with your feelings and belief system — and uncover false beliefs that may be causing your pain.

In this module, you’ll:

• Uncover layers of exploration that enable you to access your unconscious beliefs
• Ask key questions of your core self and your wounded self
• Dialogue with your spiritual guidance to heal your false beliefs and resulting pain

In this session, you’ll explore various kinds of loving actions — actions for yourself alone, and actions in relationships with others. Taking loving action can tap into deep fears, and these will be explored in precise depth. Then, you will learn how to evaluate whether or not the action you took was loving to you.

In this module, you’ll discover:

• The exact nature of truly loving actions, which help redefine your worth
• Loving actions in relationships and in conflict with others
• The 2 healthy choices in conflict
• The results of loving action — relief from guilt, anger, shame, anxiety, and depression — and instead, feeling whole, expansive, and spacious
