YOU ARE NEVER ALONE By Margaret Paul, Ph.D.

What if you knew that you were never alone - that you were always being guided by a personal source of spiritual guidance? If you knew and experienced this, you would
undoubtedly feel safe and peaceful.

This guidance is here for each of us and all individuals can learn to access it. Learning to do this is quite simple, yet I’m not going to tell you that it’s always easy.

I was trained in psychology and practiced as a traditional psychotherapist for 17 years. I discovered in those years that I was not happy with the results of traditional
psychotherapy. At some point in those years I realized that healing could not happen without a spiritual connection. In these last 18 years, I’ve been facilitating healing through helping people discover their personal spiritual guidance. This makes all the difference in the world regarding the
depth and progress of their inner work.

Our guidance is here to support us in our highest good. The way to access this guidance is simple; when our deepest
intention is to support our own highest good - when our deepest desire in any given moment is to know what is truly loving to ourselves and we are willing to take loving action in our own behalf, Spirit will show us the way.

As I already stated, this is simple but not easy. While we may consciously think our intention is to love ourselves and support our highest good, our unconscious intention in any given moment may be very different, and it is this deeper intention that actually governs whether or not we connect with our guidance. If your deeper, unconscious intention in connecting with Spirit is to:

• Have control over blocking out or getting rid of your painful feelings;

• Have control over how others feel about
you and treat you;

• Have control over the outcome of
things…

…then you will not be able to connect with

Connecting with our guidance is easy when our deepest desire is to evolve into a more loving human being - with ourselves and others. When we have the courage to take loving action in our own behalf - such as standing up for ourselves, telling our truth, taking risks to discover our joy, taking care of ourselves physically through diet and exercise, feeling our painful feelings and taking responsibility for what we are doing to create our own pain - then Spirit will show us the way. Spirit will find a way to communicate with you - such as through words, feelings, images, books, dreams, or other people - when your pure desire is to learn about love, starting with loving yourself and taking 100% responsibility for your own feelings and needs.

Are you ready to take loving care of yourself rather than expect others to do it for you? Are you ready to take responsibility for your pain instead of blaming others for it? Are you ready to create your joy and self-esteem rather than relying on others to do this for you? When you are really ready to take loving care of yourself, then ask Spirit how to do it and you will be shown the way. Your
guidance is just waiting for you to ask.
