Opening Your Spirit

 

When we are moved to take spiritual
stock, we are naturally moved to ask for and be open to receive blessings. 
We are then further stimulated to seek to give and, in our heart of
hearts, trust and honor our power to share.

An Inner
Journey

Here is an inner journey that
you can do to ignite your capacity to receive through your own opened
spirit.

Close your eyes, deepen your
breath, and settle back into a comfortable position.  Imagine your
breath carries you easily and effortlessly into your heart.

Ask Your Heart What it Most
Wants

Listen and write down whatever
the answer is (this may come in pictures as well as words).  Then
write this answer in the form of a question.

With your nondominant hand
(the hand you don’t write with) imagine a wise, loving higher being
speaks to you.  Write down whatever comes up in response as the
answer to your question. 

When you have finished, close
your eyes for a moment and say “thank you”, and simply stay present
for a few moments with your sensations.

Record Your Experience

When you’re ready, open your
eyes and record whatever you want about your whole experience. 
Then reread your answer. Consider one choice you can make through this
experience of renewal to begin giving and receiving this direction. 

Commit to carrying out this
choice, and record the results.

Trust is Our Key Recovery
Challenge

In a world that screams to
us in so many ways of what is not trustworthy, we have been increasingly
caught up in a corresponding sense of doubting our own worth, our own
inherent spiritual power and our own fundamental center of courage.

As you determine and become
clear about what in your heart of hearts you know are courageous choices
you can make, and as you see you can survive these choices, so do you
recover trust and your power to receive your heart’s desires . . .
for you recover your power to create them
.

It is Time to Celebrate
. . .

. . .  your power to renew
yourself and your choices.  In this way you learn how to transform
your experience as you seed the full flowering of your spirit’s desires.
