The more willing you are to surrender to the energy
within you, the more power can flow through you.
--Shakti Gawain

For some of us, the problem with spirituality is that
it usually gets around to God. And for us, God has
always been a distant, angry, hard-to-approach
authority figure. Yet, the root of the word
spirituality is spirit, not God. We don’t have to
believe in God to claim our spirituality.

And spirit isn’t something set apart from us. It’s
inside us. It surrounds us. It’s the energy moving
through the trees, mountains, rivers, and other
people. When we accept that this energy is moving
through us, we understand that we are, by nature,
connected and part of the whole.

When we stop fighting our spiritual nature and
surrender to it, we open the flood gates and allow
more energy to flow through us; we become
empowered. We are given the strength to do what
we couldn’t before. As we let go, we are given the
strength to more easily and effortlessly express our
true, unique selves.

I willingly surrender to a Higher Power, the energy
moving inside me.

Thank you for this post today Bubblzes..I am in tears this morning, feeling unable to move my body another step, wanting to run from the turmoil in my head, craving the feeling that drugs once gave me. Moving wasn't half so bad when I was stoned out of my head. I am going to take some deep breathes and meditate on this this morning.(((((((HUGS))))))))

2 Stop What you are feeling is feelings. This does not seem to you as a good thing but it is. You are finally feeling. Although they might not be the feelings you wish to feel. Now that you know you can feel you will experience good feelings to. So hang in there get through this akward feeling and sit tight . the good feelings are on the way. Whe you finish this move and know you have accomplished it without the use of drugs(more will be revieled) you will have an overwelming feeling a good feeling telling you you can do things without the use of drugs..So try to hold on tight. I have found even some bad feelings are alright to feel. As long as I can feel....You are on the right road. I am proud of you.Welcome to a new step into your recovery...FEELING!!!
