Learning how to fulfill my spirituality!

Any one who knows me, knows that I am a reader. I usually have 3 books going at a time. Usually one or two are a James Patterson or Robert Parker book, or some other book that involves crime and intrigue. Then I will have a self help book going or a spiritual book that I can't keep my nose out of. Right now I am reading the President's book, The Audacity of Hope and Ask Your Guides, Connecting to Your Divine Support System. I just finished an awesome book by a Christian writer, it was a novel, This Side of Heaven. Was a very good book.

However, if I had to chose one that I am learning and loving the most it would have to be the Ask Your Guides. I have learned so much and just had somethings reaffirmed in my mind, that was once there but buried deep and needed that nudge.

Yesterday I read an awesome pray in the chapter called Healing Guides. With my mother, home now from not having a heart attack, just a bad case of gas in her chest (a big thank you to all that prayed for her) this just soaked into my brain.

Divine Mother God, Father God, and all healing forces of the Universe,
restore me to balance in body, mind, and spirit.
Remove everything from my consciousness and body
that isn't in perfect alignment with your loving plan for me.
I give my full permission and cooperaion to all healing forces of
Divine and loving nature to serve my well being.
Amen

Today I was reading the chapter on Joy Guides. There was a lot to be said about how joy guides work. How children especially babies can easily see them and respond with a chortle or a giggle. How when we are working to hard and haven't had any joy our joy guides will send our children or pets in to us begging us to play with them even if it is a bad time for us and how if we give in and follow our joy, life around us and for us is more joyful.

The part that really hit home for me was when I read the following: Joy guides also love to hide jewelry, shoes, your wallet, purse the report you have been working on, library books, your bathing suit (read this an hour after buying Gabby a new one because she can't find hers and we are going swimming Wedsnesday) and your cell phone-anything to get you out fo being on autopilot and bring you back into the moment. If you listen carefuuly, you can hear them giggling as they watch you race around like a chicken with its head cut off in these moments.

It goes on to say that we can save ourselves time and stress if we just give in and acknowledge the joy guides and go along with the joke. Just say, "Okay, I get it. I need t olighten up. Thanks for reminding me." If you do, the missing items will magically reappear. Being eternal children they like to play hide and seek. I especially liked the part about finding your glasses on your head, the paper you need in your hand and your car keys right in front of you. Just yesterday I was running a little late, in a hurry to get to work and I had my hands full. Couldn't find my car keys. Set everything down, went looking. Couldn't find them. As I walked back up to the stuff I set down, I saw them sitting there. I had apparently been holding them and set them down to go look for them. I had a good chuckle before I went to work.

Listen to your spirit guides takes work and trust and pratice but in the end it is so worth it and I am worthy of it.
