I think it's very important to begin to trust your intuition and in the beginning, you should check it out with other people... deep listening as to where I should go next.
Imagine starting your day with a calming meditation and then diving into a conversation that could change your life. That's exactly what you'll get in this episode with Judith Ragir, a Zen teacher with over four decades of recovery experience. Judith begins by guiding listeners through a brief meditation, setting a reflective tone for a deep dive into the first step of the 12 Steps program—admitting powerlessness.
But don't let the term 'powerlessness' fool you; Judith explains how this concept is actually a gateway to discovering inner strength and spiritual growth. Drawing from her personal journey through Overeaters Anonymous and Al-Anon, she shares candid stories of her own struggles and triumphs. Her narrative is rich with insights on self-examination, making amends, and embracing a spiritual transformation that goes beyond traditional religious boundaries. Judith's approach is all about interconnectedness, community support, and accepting our imperfections.
She invites listeners to explore their own depths and trust in a higher power, whether it's God, universal energy, or the Buddhist concept of total dynamic functioning. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on recovery that blends mindfulness with practical steps, this episode is a must-listen.
