I agree to continue listening to wisdom
even though I realize it will put an end
to the local-self I think I am
and this world-appearance that I believe is real.
I accept there may be resistance,
and I give resistance permission to make itself known,
but I shall react only by watching with non-attachment
as I continue to follow the call of wisdom.
~A decision of awakening

Find a place where you will be undisturbed. If it is comfortable, put on headsets or earbuds. Relax, and enjoy this meditation.

In order to progress on the spiritual path with your inner teacher, tomorrow you will begin reading and contemplating The Seven Steps to Awakening. Over the next year, you will receive insight from inner wisdom and specific guidance tailored especially for you.
I won’t write tips in Year 3, because it’s time for me to leave you in the hands of the best teacher, your inner teacher. There will be a Daily Contemplation post each day, which will provide instruction regarding what to read and contemplate from The Seven Steps to Awakening. To help you get started, I will provide a sample contemplation from my journal on the first three days that you contemplate the quotes. However, it’s important to realize that your contemplation may not look like mine. For example:
There may be other differences between my Seven Steps journal and your journal, so don’t imagine that your journal is supposed to look like mine. Don’t imagine that it is supposed to look any particular way at all. Let the inner teacher guide, and trust your inner teacher.
Since some people contemplate the Daily Contemplation post even though they aren’t taking Gentle Healing, I will always include one quote for contemplation in the Daily Contemplation post. However, each Daily Contemplation post will include additional instructions for Gentle Healing group members about what to read and contemplate that day. Typically, you will contemplate 4 quotes per day.
Today, you can prepare for Year 3 by reviewing the tip from Day 328.
If you have decided not to move on to Year 3, consider retaking Gentle Healing Year 1 or Year 2. You might find Year 1 interesting, because it’s been awhile since you went through that curriculum. You will most definitely see it and experience it differently this time. However, if you feel guided to repeat Year 2, follow your guidance. It knows what is best for you.
Note: The next Daily Contemplation will be available tomorrow morning after 4am ET at this link
