Meditation is in reality intensely practical. One of its first fruits is emotional balance. With it we can broaden and deepen the channel between ourselves and God as we understand Him.
Have you ever wondered how to deepen your spiritual connection during recovery? In this episode of '12 Steps of Recovery', host Ilya dives into Step 11, focusing on the power of prayer and meditation. This step is all about improving your conscious contact with a higher power, as you understand it. Ilya breaks down how alcoholics often feel disconnected from their higher power and how essential it is to cultivate this relationship for spiritual growth.
He shares his personal experiences and tips on meditation, including the St. Francis prayer as a starting point, but encourages listeners to find their own unique ways to meditate. The discussion also highlights the importance of self-examination and sticking to what the AA literature advises. Ilya talks about the crucial role of sponsors in the recovery process but also stresses the need to eventually stand on your own two feet, avoiding dependency on others for courage and resources.
The episode doesn't shy away from discussing the consequences of neglecting Step 11 and emphasizes the spiritual nature of both the 11th and 12th Steps. Ilya wraps up with a reminder to always seek God's will rather than getting stuck in your own. This episode is packed with practical advice and hopeful insights for anyone looking to enhance their spiritual journey in recovery.
