What do I mean by healing? This step is about bringing the soul back into a state of wholeness so that you can get on with fulfilling your spiritual purpose. It’s about healing from the past, integrating the Shadow, and releasing the soul from karmic patterns by taking responsibility as the creator of your own reality. In this step, you learn to forgive (at a much deeper level than Step 4), to accept, to release, to cultivate gratitude, and to develop the inner discipline needed to make lasting spiritual changes.
