One Healing Process

One spiritual healing process is where we first have

a difference between what we have and what we want.

That is my definition of upset. However, there are many

forms of upset. There is anger, fear, pain, illness, emotional

stress and so on. Perhaps we are asking God "Why?" Then

we can show our upset. Whatever the difference between

what we have and what we want, one way back to what

we want is the first step of forgiving. That is why I have

my forgiving card at the bottom of this page.

Healing Continued

The next step happens automatically, when we are

upset and forgive, we feel our pain. Pain can heal when

we accept our pain. We can deny our pain and deny

our healing. Pain tells spirit what to heal. When we

get out of denial of our pains, we are joining spirit

in our healing process. When we are denying our

pain, we are separating ourselves from spirit. This

step is all about acceptance, acceptance of our pains.

This step is the shortcut back through our pain ,to our

loving spirit.

So actually, there we only have two steps, forgiving

and accepting. The upsets are already there.

Long Term Healing

When we have learned to forgive, and to accept with

gratitude, we still will have challenges. Challenges to

learn how to forgive and to accept with gratitude more.

And we still will have our pains. Pains to accept with

gratitude. Pains to tell us what to do. For in more totally

feeling our pains, we are learning how to feel once again.

To feel like a child again. To feel like a baby again. Our

road to recovery leads back to where we came from,

spirit.

Our God Connection

Our God has never lost his connection with us. We regain

our connection with God at the level we are at, when we decide

to return. God takes us where we are and leads us home. That

is why we have so many different expressions of God. We are

expressing at the level we find our God. Then as we grow in

God, we express at the levels that we have grown to.

So, when we disagree with someone or an organization

that is expressing their God, we are disagreeing with God at

that level. It is much better and wiser to just realize that they

are expressing God at the level they found God. The only thing

to pray for is for God's will in their lives and ours and not for

our own will. You see, God's will is for us to grow in his will

which is for our spiritual health, wealth and happiness for

everyone.

Peace

We have more peace, when more of our conflicts within

are resolved. That does not mean that we have no conflicts

without. How else can we know we have some peace unless

we are challenged from time to time?

Coaching others to find more peace, can be challenging

from time to time. That is the good news. Then there is

something to resolve within ourself. When we are upset,

we have an inner conflict to resolve. When we can not

resolve our inner conflict by ourselves, sometimes we

need a coach to coach us on how to do that for ourselves.

I am grateful for the coaches I have found in my life.

Very Respectfully,

I started my daily page, because it is useful for me to look for some recovery tip or secret each day for my spiritual growth. we and I only need one secret to work on and let it work on me each day. They are secrets because they are usually the opposite of what the majority of society teaches. They must be secret because they are not commonly used. A friend of mine once said "Common Sense is not much in Common.". Now that I have grandchildren I am also writing for them. I would have really liked for my grandparents to have passed on what they learned.

I am including Sunday as it is my formal day of learning the lord most high's secrets.
