Ask your spiritual Guidance (whatever that is for you): What is the truth about the thoughts/false beliefs you may have uncovered in Step Three?
Ask: What is the loving behavior toward your Inner Child in this situation? What is in your highest good? What is kind to yourself?
Open and allow the answers to come through you in words, pictures, feelings, dreams, in talking with another, or in reading a book. The answers may not come immediately, but if you have a sincere desire to learn, they will come.
Dogs are always happy to see us, even if we have been gone only five minutes. Dogs forgive us instantly, even if we scare them. Dogs are sensitive to our feelings and care about our well-being. Dogs love us unconditionally, even when we are not being loving. Dogs can be our teachers, if we allow them to be.
