The 11th step is really about turning my will and life over to this god of my misunderstanding and learning how to be at ease and surrender and be still and just learn to let life happen many times without my control, without my push, much like allowing gravity to hold me in this chair without trying to control.
Ever wondered how stillness can be a powerful ally in your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Sober Meditations', Buddy C. takes you through the final meditation of his Step 11 series, infusing it with Taoist philosophy. Buddy, a recovering alcoholic himself, shares his hard-earned wisdom on how to surrender and let go of control to find peace. He begins by guiding listeners to sit comfortably and observe the natural pull of gravity, encouraging them to release any tension.
This simple act of being still is a gateway to deeper serenity, echoing the Taoist belief that stillness reveals life's secrets. Buddy brings in several Taoist quotes to illuminate these principles, like 'be still, stillness reveals the secrets of eternity'. The 11th step in recovery is about turning one's will and life over to a higher power, and Buddy illustrates how this can be achieved through various spiritual paths, including Taoism.
By letting go and allowing things to unfold naturally, you can find a profound sense of calm and clarity. As the meditation concludes, Buddy reminds us that when we're unsure of our next steps, looking around to help others can often bring everything into focus. This episode offers a refreshing take on recovery, blending ancient wisdom with modern practices to help you find your own path to serenity.
