Invite the compassionate Presence of Spirit into your heart to help you learn what you are doing or thinking that may be causing your pain.
Consciously move out of the intent to protect/control and into the intent to learn about what you are doing or thinking that may be causing your pain so that you can move into loving yourself and others.
When you connect with Spirit and move into the intent to learn, you are in a loving Adult state, as opposed to the ego wounded self state you are in when you want to protect/control.
In Step Two, you welcome and embrace all your feelings with a compassionate intent to learn.
When you feel great, enjoy it! When you feel fearful, anxious, depressed or angry, compassionately explore it. These painful feelings are letting you know you are off track - thinking things that are not true. This is how God lets us know we are off track in our thinking. When we are in joy, we are on track, coming from truth. When we are fearful, anxious, depressed or angry, we are off track, coming from false beliefs. Opening to learning will lead you to the truth and back into joy.
