Happy Holidays from “The Gift of Addiction” !!!
During the holiday season we may become especially vulnerable to dark, fear-based energies, mainly due to our memories and expectations. In other words, memories of the “good and bad” holidays, and expectations for certain behaviors to occur, or not to occur during this holiday season. This focus on the past and on the future keeps us from enjoying the present moment. Sound familiar?
So,…from The Gift of Addiction, pages 147 – 149
When I Remember
Sometimes when the world (and the holidays!) seem too confusing, and I am too caught up in how I think things should be, these are some things I can remember, to help me find my peace:
♥ That God is the doer, and I am at my best as His humble servant
♥ ALL my stress comes from my expectations and attachments
♥ To “Keep it Simple”, and not complicate my life and relationships
♥ That I can still love those who do not understand me – as God does
♥ That although I do not understand this confusing life, God does
♥ That the Path of Addiction is difficult for a reason – there are no mistakes
♥ That my unique path is meant to provide significant stress for me to reach my goal
♥ That God has given each of us the free will to choose light over dark, divinity over evil
♥ That all souls are infinitely loved and cherished by God – He has no favorites
♥ That Forgiveness and Gratitude are my most powerful tools
♥ That God understands my struggles and troubles – He made this show!
♥ That reliving negative situations always awakens dark energy within my body, mind and spirit – the price is too high to reminisce!
♥ That through God’s confusing labyrinth – lies is my Purification
♥ To fathom the vast spiritual cosmos is the greatest adventure imaginable – Oh immeasurable Joy!
♥ The immediate cure for my emptiness, hopelessness, restlessness or discontent is always SURRENDER and GRATITUDE
♥ That I cannot put conditions or expectations on God – I have to learn to trust His Divine Timing
♥ That applying the self-discipline to “wait” is a valuable preventative medicine for bad decisions
♥ That in the presence of the Dark, I must fully align with the Light, again, again and again
♥ That at my Darkest Moments, God is sitting right next to me in the chariot of my battle
♥ That “tests” arrive unannounced to drive out some spiritual weakness that is standing between me and God
♥ That anytime I am feeling any negative emotion, I am being tested
♥ That meditation increases my ability to receive information, and activates my intuition
♥ That meditation is the practice by which I can identify truth
♥ That spiritual healing is easy – I just open my heart and fall into God’s arms
♥ That Love was the project I was assigned before I was born
No Questions, No Complaints, At Your Service
Happy Holidays!!
In Love & Light, Sherry
