Re: 'Inner' resources
The shamanic approach works for me. The best thing about it is that no-one can tell you you're doing it wrong.
Connecting properly with nature and the earth is a huge source of strength for me. Thanks to the atrocious weather we've had my opportunities to do so have been limited recently, but when I am I can't remember what fear feels like, and I have utter faith that solutions to any problems will present themselves. And they always do!
Meditation is a great place to begin- it balances you and opens you to the higher forces (whatever names you choose to know them by) that are far more reliable guides than any book.
That said there are some really good books out there to help. One that really helped me is "Your Shamanic Path" by Leo Rutherford. The latest edition is "The Shamanic Path Workbook." It's mostly about inner work and releasing the blocks to your own powerful self. His knowledge is also based around Mayan wisdom.
