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.
If you do not cherish your body, your inner child - your soul - will not feel loved. Your child lives in your body, and expresses through your body. If you don't feed your body well and get enough exercise, and if you don't get enough sleep or enough downtime to regenerate, your child will not feel loved and cherished. Today, cherish your body, the temple of your soul.
