A Course in Miracles tells us our body is the #2 tool we have to help awaken. #1 is our brothers and sisters. No pain no gain is understandable when it comes to working out. I’ve experienced the benefits of learning how to tell beneficial pain in a workout and pain that is a signal that there’s damage occurring.

When we’re having a spiritual workout – repatterning and recalibrating to a more loving life, there can seem to be the pain of going contrary to the ego’s thought patterns.

That can seem excruciating on a mental and emotional level. I’ve experienced a lot of that.

I’m preparing for this Challenge To End My Self-Sabotage and self-medication that starts today and tomorrow. The first week is a gift to anyone who would like to participate with us. I’ve been thinking a lot about my personal journey with self-medication and how deeply painful it was for me for so long.

I honestly never thought my struggle would or could end. It seemed so much a part of who I was and how I lived. To me, it’s a miracle that’s all that is done.

I can remember times when I would feel so compelled to self-medicate, already feeling and knowing that it would take me to an even darker place than I was already in. I had so much self-judgment and yet I felt I couldn’t stop myself and I didn’t want to. I just felt this was the best choice I could find in that moment.

What a place to be.
I spent a lot of time there.

I’m continuously asking Spirit how I can be more helpful to people. Basically, I really don’t care that much about what I teach as long as it’s related to spiritual living.

The topic doesn’t matter at all. I’ll share something and I’ll learn something and also receive a healing in the process. It’s always good for me. The truth is always good for me. Truth is my liberator.

TODAY & SUNDAY: Do you feel like you’re managing and coping? I’m offering my End My Self-Sabotage Challenge. The first week is free! If you’d like to find a way to give up painful patterns of obsessive compulsive defend and attack thoughts and the self-medication that we often use to dull ourselves to get some relief, if you’d like to fast track the release of habits of guilt and shame, that’s what we’re doing. First week is free – my gift to you!

If you’re a secret smoker, if you isolate and self-medicate with food or alcohol and then feel ashamed and filled with self-judgment; if you’re aware that you keep sabotaging yourself, please consider joining in this beautiful program with a group of like-minded souls who’re remembering to laugh and truly healing these pain patterns. Together, we can get it done!
