"Grace," as we define it, is the gift of deep joy
that we sometimes feel for no reason at all. It comes over us and fills us with
a profound sense of wellbeing. It is one of the best feelings ever! The
incredible feeling of Grace lets us know that we are never alone - that we are
always being guided in our highest good.
"Growth" is the process of healing the programmed
false beliefs and protective, controlling behaviors of our ego wounded self,
and moving into love and truth.
When we make the decision to heal our wounded selves and
move into love and truth - we open the door to the experience of Grace. As we
experience more Grace, we continue to open to learning about truth and love. Thourghout this journey Grace supports us in
our growth.
The Grace of Spirit that you experience through your Inner
Bonding® practice moves you beyond emotional dependency and into emotional
freedom.
Emotional freedom means that you are no longer dependent
upon others, their approval, or attention to feel safe, worthy, and lovable.
Grace gives you the emotional freedom to define your own worth and bring the
love to yourself that you may not have receive as a child and for which you
have always yearned.
Grace gives you the wisdom and desire to let go of your
attachment to outcomes. Grace is a state
of living beyond the struggle to control other people. Grace is the ability to live fully in this
present moment.
The practice of Inner Bonding® creates Grace Through Growth
and Growth Through Grace
Here is how some of our members define Grace Through Growth
and Growth Through Grace:
"I guess my first interpretation of "Growth
Through Growth, Grace Through Growth" is that I have to take the first
step towards action, change, and that once I do, not only will I grow but that
as I grow, the divine, the holy, the sacred comes alongside me to aid me in the
steps I take. Just typing that fills me with gratitude and awe..."
"Being in awareness of my thoughts and feelings allows
for discernment about what is helpful and what isn't. What is 'mine to work'
and what I need to ask for Guidance about and to release from my illusions of
control. The growth that arises from all this is Grace indeed. Inner Bonding®
provides the loving structure for coming into graceful awareness."
"Growth Through Grace: in my eyes "grace"
means the opposite of a victim mentality and the opposite of blaming and
complaining. To me it means maturity and kindness. So, when you manage to be in
a state of grace, then that means you have been growing and it also means that
your mind is open for further growth as it is not obscured by the wounded self mentality.
Grace Through Growth: your frequency and your happiness,
your grace, rise as you progress and grow. The growth that you have achieved
gives you an even more healthy mentality, more grace."
"This is so huge since in my opinion anything not of
grace is just control and protecting. We just can't have freedom unless that
means we are waiting before Spirit to strengthen us to take the next
responsible step. Our intention is big here. Do I intend to live by grace or
just get enough to cope with the current crisis? Am I in the flow of love and
grace or just grabbing for a quick taste?"
" Growth through
Grace, Grace through Growth is the process of growing emotionally under the
gentleness and love of a spiritual hand and becoming a loving being through
this growing experience."
