Discover the gentle inner voice that's been waiting to guide you home.

Picture your "inner beloved" as the wise companion from childhood, whispering truths amid adult chaos. Jungian life coach Scott D. Smith shows you how to connect with your inner guide, blending Jungian insights, IFS parts dialogue, and Taoist wisdom into simple, heartfelt practices that anyone can use. This book provides you with real tools for real-life struggles.

Through short lessons, you'll invite your inner self, decipher dreams, chat with your inner guide, and walk the inner labyrinth of your authentic path. Get unstuck with scripts like "What Am I Carrying?" or "Whose Life Are You Living?" Learn forgiveness, playfulness, and soul care. The appendices offer breathing, meditation, I Ching, Tarot, even gardening, for daily magic.

Jungian therapist Marie-Laure Colonna calls the inner beloved "an essential path" for Jungian individuation. Dana Scott, LMSW, calls it "profoundly Jungian and deeply personal, like an old friend inviting you inward." Readers rave: "Warmth and comfort... light and shadow embraced."

Whether seeking your purpose, better relationships, or creativity, this book awakens your lifelong partner within. Walk life's path lighter, loved, whole.

Ready to let go and be guided? 241 pages of hope, transformation, and belonging.

Industry Reviews

"Personally I do appreciate your book.. the inner beloved experience is essential in the path of individuation." Marie-Laure Colonna, Jungian psychoanalyst, author, and supervising member of the IAAP.

"I really, really like this [getting stuck subsection]. I've been using it all week. Hope you don't mind. But I paraphrased it about why clients get stuck because they aren't following their inner voice, guide, or as Campbell said their 'bliss'." - Dana Scott, Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW).  

"Lovely that you've done this. Both our own Red books in different formats." - R. A Falconer, author of "Soul Songs Anthology." 

"When I finished this chapter [one], I sat in silence for a moment. It didn't feel like I'd just read a piece of writing. It felt like I'd been in a quiet room with someone speaking softly about something sacred. There's warmth here, and a strange comfort that comes from knowing someone else has also looked inward and found both light and shadow there." - Marc Frecky, digital content professional.
