Uncovering Patterns: Step 8 Meditation with Buddy C.
Thoroughness we have found will pay, and pay handsomely.
Patterns in our behavior can often feel like an unsolvable puzzle. In this episode of 'Sober Meditations', Buddy C. takes you on a 20-minute journey to start piecing it all together. This is the third meditation in his Step 8 series, and it focuses on recognizing the patterns in our character defects.
Buddy's own story is a testament to the power of surrendering to a higher power—after nearly losing his life to pancreatitis and struggling with relapses for five years, he found his path to sobriety in 2008. Now, he shares his insights through calming meditations aimed at those on their own recovery journey. You'll start by finding a comfortable position and tuning into your breath, allowing your body to relax.
Buddy then guides you through a body scan to identify areas of tension and observe how your body feels. The core of this meditation is about recognizing patterns in your character defects. Buddy emphasizes the importance of working with a sponsor to see these patterns clearly and identify the basic flaws that might be shaping your life. He also highlights the need for thoroughness and making financial amends as part of this step.
By the end of the session, you'll be encouraged to surrender to your higher power and incorporate daily reflection into your routine. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to gain deeper self-awareness and take actionable steps towards making amends. Tune in and let Buddy C. guide you through this transformative process.
