Chapter Eight of Spirit Junkie is about accepting the invitation. We must "Seek to change nothing, but merely to accept everything." In thinking about that quote, it really takes us deeper and brings us to a more clear connection with out Spirit. Reminding myself to stay connected to my inner light and to keep inviting the light and love of the spirit in, is constantly the challenge. This chapter really taught me that I was ready to love myself, and that I needed to love myself again in order to move on and to find love again in other people. Through my prep, and this book, I have learned that I do not need food, alcohol, or negative relationships to make me feel fulfilled. I have learned that all the love I need is inside of me. My inner connection to myself is what fulfills me daily. I am able to maintain my positive energy and outlook on life.
Key points in accepting the invitation:
1. Say YES to Spirit: If you are ready to connect to your spirit - say yes!
2. Unblock: The more you believe, the more you will receive!
3. Listen: Meditate and listen to your ~ing.

Loving ourselves is key to so many things in life. It's the first and often most difficult step for us to take!
ReplyDeleteSo true, this book has helped me learn that!
DeleteI've never tried meditation before! I probably should....
ReplyDeleteIt takes time to get used to and create a habit out of. Give it time and start small - even just one minute a day and work your way up!
DeleteMy inner connection to myself is what fulfills me daily... I LOVE THIS!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful process!
