Is it important to complete the resting days in between the practices?
Yes. Absolutely! When receiving new energies, either through attunements or self healing practices, we are normally asked to move through a prescribed period of rest or 'rest & digest'. These resting periods are very, very important, as they help us to clear away, release & surrender deeper layers of impurity which may have been stirred up by the new energies, practices or attunements. As such, the resting period is vital for helping you assimilate the new energies and heal what is required, so that you can successfully ascend into higher & higher vibrations.
It is important to know that all of the resting timeframes, along with the prescribed instructions, practices and prerequisites in each and every ebook are directly from Higher Consciousness and are most certainly to be followed, for your own divine benefit - and for that of all. The energetic frequencies in each ebook build on top of each other and therefore, it is critically important that you follow the divine instructions, which includes ensuring that you have competed all the necessary timeframes, including the resting timeframes, as this will be the foundation for the next set of energies to build upon.
We understand that there may be a temptation to rush through the teachings, especially during the resting timeframes, where you may feel like you are not ‘doing’ anything. But again, the resting timeframes are a very important part of the journey and we do loving ask that you don’t rush through these timeframes, even if you are not ‘feeling’ anything happening.
For example, Higher Consciousness has explained that when someone tries to access energies that they are not energetically ready for (i.e. by rushing through any prescribed timeframes), it can be quite detrimental to their journey forwards and for the collective journey of the Love Inspiration community as a whole:
“Accessing advanced level energies before you are ripe to receive them can cause backward-sliding effects for not only oneself, but for the Love Inspiration Community & collective consciousness as a whole. Your premature acceleration is not recommended, with love, under any circumstances. Please take heed. “
Furthermore, there have been times where Higher Consciousness has explained that the resting periods are actually even more important than the symbol practices! This is because the energies from the symbol practices are still moving and helping to clear away impurities, which then help to guide you through the important ascension and vibrational uplift (which often occurs during/after these resting periods).
As such, as you move through these resting timeframes, it is possible that you will experience some kind of healing crisis (or crises) as these old, stagnant or ‘less than light’ energies are being released from your energy system. And if you were to skip over these resting timeframes, it would mean that you are not giving yourself the time to move through this necessary healing, which means that you can miss out on the all important ‘ascension’ into the next/heightened level of consciousness (as well as also not being ‘energetically ready’ to receive the next level of energies). So completing the resting timeframes is very important, just as it is important to follow all the other divinely designed instructions of each ebook.
In addition to all of this, Higher Consciousness has shared two 'analogies' that can help explain the energetic impact of not following along with the timeframes and/or instructions and rushing through the ebooks. And we now wish to share these here, so that we can help everyone receive the highest possible ascension results from these beautiful Love Inspiration teachings.

Analogy 1 Higher Consciousness showed Gerry an image of a set of childrens' building blocks in the shape of a 4-sided pyramid. On the foundational level, let’s say there are 100 blocks (10x10). The purpose of these 100 blocks is to hold up the next layer (say 9x9) and if any of those 100 blocks are missing from the bottom layer, then some of the next layer blocks wont stay up i.e. they will tumble down. And then the more layers you try to build on top of those crumbling layers, the more blocks that fall off. So instead of having a perfect & strong pyramid, the person ends up with a broken pile of tumbling blocks - and after all their time & effort, they will not have gained much.
Analogy 2 Higher Consciousness gave Gerry the understanding that in the first level (this applies to any set of teachings that you may be receiving) you are like a small two door car, with a small 1.2 litre engine. At this early stage of your journey, your little engine can drive your little car perfectly as it has just the right amount of power to move the 'shell' of the car. As you progress into the next level then, you are upgraded to a ‘sedan’. This is a larger car with four doors and a 2 litre engine. Here, the engine size is again proportionate to the size of the car ‘shell’ and so it drives perfectly, happily and within its capacity.
As you progress forwards into the higher levels, the 'shell' size will continue to get bigger and bigger and to accompany this, you therefore need to complete the practices and receive the attunements so that you can also continue to grow your engine size appropriately.
When you speed through the practices, without allowing the correct amount of time (either to do the practices OR to rest sufficiently) the ‘shell’ size of your car will increase, however your engine size will not. Therefore, if you continue to move forwards in this way, you will be sure to end up with a vehicle the size of a bus which is trying to be driven by a little 1.2 litre engine. In other words, your engine capacity is unable to power your car in an effective, stable or reliable way.

So again, we do lovingly request that you adhere to the resting timeframes shown in each of the Love Inspiration ebooks. We also lovingly suggest that you listen to your body during these 'resting' times so that you can treat yourself with loving kindness wherever possible. For example, if you are feeling like some extra self-care during these times, then please enjoy this with much love in your heart. If you are feeling like you need a few days of ‘rest & relaxation' then again, please enjoy this time knowing that you are healing, expanding and blossoming. May you enjoy these beautiful teachings and may they help to bring you much love, light & happiness!
