Workshop
Awakening the Spirit: Meditation, Mindfulness and the Twelve Steps
My talk will communicate that the most important aspect of recovery is our ongoing spiritual awakening. The starting point was one man’s visit to Carl jung in the early 1930′s, which was a turning point in the creation of the Twelve Steps. The statement that our continued recovery in contingent on a spiritual way of life is an important aspect of the 12-Step way of life. The Twelfth Step states, “Having had a spiritual awakening we tried to carry this message.” The message is the spiritual awakening. This insight led into a spiritual journey that is flowing into a realization of the importance of mindfulness in our lives.
