• When using the techniques of Therapeutic Spiritual Counseling for yourself, there are instructions to execute and questions posed to bring up answers. This is always to be done effortlessly—no “work”, no forcing, no digging.

• Actionable Tip: When you practice the techniques in this book, let the answers come to you. Simply take what you get, exactly as you get it.

• Sometimes you may think “there should be more”, or “there must be more”, or “that doesn’t seem to answer the question”, but all you need do is take what you get, let it develop and clarify as it will, until you don’t feel any other sensations in that moment.

• If you run into some kind of resistance when trying to connect and open up, don’t “soldier through it”, which will be frustrating and exhausting, as well as unproductive.

• You still take what you get, including any apprehension or resistance you feel. That apprehension or resistance will be the very thing to address, as it will turn out to be either a Rigid Defensive Attitude, or some Persona of yours being triggered. Simply accept the feeling.

It is, again, your spiritual compass pointing to the very thing you need to process.
