The Inner Bonding Workshop
Heal the cycle of shame and self-abandonment that leads to anxiety, depression, addiction, aloneness and relationship failure. Discover how to love yourself rather than reject yourself, and learn to make your best decisions through consistent connection with your personal source of spiritual guidance.
The innovative Inner Bonding process shows you how to:
- Rapidly heal false beliefs about yourself, others and higher spiritual guidance
- Heal guilt, shame, emptiness and aloneness
- Move beyond self-judgment into self-compassion
- Address the resistance that may be keeping you stuck
- Learn how to heal relationship conflicts and attain the intimacy you've always wanted
This powerful and life-changing process is the result of Dr. Margaret's over 50 years of personal inner work and work with her clients.
Unless you were raised by parents or caregivers who were loving to themselves, each other and to you, you may not have learned how to lovingly manage your painful feelings. As a result, you may be operating from your ego wounded self, controlled by your fears and false beliefs.
Your wounded self may often take over in unloving ways, trampling on your hurts, ignoring them or avoiding them with various addictions and controlling behavior such as:
- Addictions to drugs, junk food, nicotine, alcohol, relationships, work, TV or gaming.
- Co-dependence - trying to control others with anger, violence, guilt or compliance - making others responsible for your sense of safety and worth.
- Staying in your head rather than being present in your body
- Self-judgment, shaming yourself
- Obsessive thinking, ruminating, worrying
- Resistance to self, others, spirit - to taking loving care of yourself
These forms of self-abandonment not only perpetuate fears of rejection, abandonment, aloneness, engulfment or failure, but they can contribute to illness. Inner Bonding is a powerful process for healing self-abandonment and learning to love and value yourself.
Through discussions, exercises and direct work with Dr. Margaret Paul or other Inner Bonding Facilitators, you learn the Six powerful Steps of Inner Bonding.
"Transformational Beyond Words! My heart and soul and true essence overflow with love and gratitude. I'm so eager and excited to go home and do Inner Bonding, and share this with my husband and son, and most of all MYSELF at any given moment." Kripalu Workshop, Margaret Dean Godhard, Mom, Educator, Gainesville, GA

Daily Inspiration
Today, practicing focusing on what you want that brings you joy, rather than on what you don't want that creates anxiety.
By Dr. Margaret Paul
"Probably the most valuable experience of my life! Every session was packed
with gems of useful information and "hands-on" learning experiences. Very
motivational to launch me on daily practice." Omega Workshop, 5/04

"Learning about acting with intent. I think the frequent check-in with my inner child is so valuable. We used to play a lot together - less over the years, so it is time to re-engage. Sometime what I say is taken as an offense. I realize I have to check in with my inner child- am I saying this to be hip, cool? Or to be loving and sharing?" Kripalu, 9.17

It helped me understand the process more. I took the “Love Yourself” course and this workshop continued the learning. It was a more in depth experience. Rally understanding it. Dr. M. Paul answers your questions. I learned from others questions and answers. She gave examples that were relative to me. I thank Margaret for sharing her Inner Bonding process to the world. April 2019

'The knowledge and understanding that was shared was extremely valuable to me. You clarified so many things & reinforced things I knew deep down but hadn't completely accepted as my truth. I feel that I now have a practice that I can begin to guide me to a happier & more fulfilling life.' Inner Bonding Weekend Workshop, Rowe, MA, 4/10

"Love Myself: If you cannot then you cannot extend love, compassion and empathy to the people close to you and to the world at large.
My eyes have been opened - thank you! I have learned that I have the wounded inner child I have to heal and take action if I want changes and to really live and love to the fullest extent." Kripalu, 9.17
