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.
Our ego wounded self always wants to control others, outcomes and our own pain. If we judge ourselves for our controlling behavior, we become stuck in another level of control. The spiritual journey is about embracing our wounded self with love and compassion, so we can learn about our limiting beliefs and let go of our controlling behavior.
