Lately I feel like I've been receiving a lot of messages for my higher power about healing. And also about goals. But I also notice how I've had a lot of ENERGY this week.

An old metaphor . . . "You know a tree by its fruit." The energy is a sign that you have had a spiritual awakening. This is explained in a book too intellectual for me to read. A Variety of Religious ExperienceS, by William James. He discusses the chemistry in the brain of a spiritual experience and how it releases adrenaline just in time to focus for awhile on your recovery homework assignments. Congratulations. Not everyone is blessed with a spiritual experience. Even my minister told me he had never had one.
