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.
Inner peace is a precious thing - a gift of Spirit. You will have inner peace instead of inner turmoil when you allow Spirit to guide you instead of needing to control from your own limited mind - allowing the truth of Spirit to guide you instead of the false beliefs of your wounded self. You will have inner peace when you have the courage to take loving action for yourself - action guided by Spirit.
