It's unrealistic for her to expect to feel the love of her higher power when she is not being loving to herself
Ever wondered why you feel disconnected from your higher power despite all your efforts? In this episode of Inner Bonding, Dr. Margaret Paul addresses this very issue, helping you understand the complex relationship between self-love and spiritual connection. Dr. Paul shares the story of Hillary, a woman who meditates, eats well, and exercises but still feels unloved by her higher power.
Through this narrative, you'll learn that true connection with your higher guidance starts with loving yourself and taking responsibility for your feelings. Dr. Paul emphasises that even meditation can become an addiction if used to avoid feelings or control one's higher power. She also explores the concept of codependency with one's spiritual guidance and how false beliefs about God can hinder genuine connection. With real-life examples like Anne and George, Dr.
Paul illustrates how childhood experiences and resistance to control can shape our adult relationships with ourselves and our higher power. Anne's struggle with projecting her controlling parents onto God and George's resistance due to a controlling mother are both poignant examples of how past traumas can block spiritual connection. Dr. Paul offers practical advice on shifting intent from seeking control to learning about self-love.
She encourages you to open up to the truth that your higher power is a source of unconditional love and wisdom, not a controlling entity. If you're ready to transform your spiritual journey and feel genuinely connected with your higher guidance, this episode is a must-listen.
