Meditation as I talked about before is essential in having a conscious contact with your higher power. Meditation is good for the soul. I’ve expounded on this is where we listen to God. However I really want to speak of another benefit, almost as important.
What I want to talk about now, is the benefit meditation has on our mental health and balance. I’m speaking of the brain and our thinking now. The brain and it many wonders. Namely the faculty of thinking, for creativity, visualization, reasoning and the list is quite extensive. However the brain is like the most efficient and brilliant computer ever devised. It is truly a wondrous gift from our God. It is a wonderful, if not the most precious tool our God has bestowed upon us. However it is just that; a TOOL. The point being is do you control your thinking or does your thinking control you. We all have those times when our minds just don’t seem to stop, going from one thought to another. Keeping us awake, not letting us focus. How many times have your actions been controlled by irrational thinking? For most of us, it has never even donned on us that the functions of our brains, such as thinking needs to be trained and disciplined. First off our brains and thinking patterns have been seriously distorted and damaged from abuses and lack of discipline, not to mention the damage done by alcohol and drugs. Developing a daily routine of meditation, at least once a day; can help bring your thinking more under control and disciplined. A daily routine will help you to get more focused, clear your thinking. As you become more at ease and adept at meditation, it will in still clarity and instils greater discipline and direction. You can also use meditation to quite the unquiet mind, when it is racing. When it seems that your thoughts are scrambled. A few quite moments in meditation will get your thinking under your control, rather than your random thoughts controlling you.
Remember God does not create garbage
Real 12 Step Recovery
Real 12 Step Recovery, Getting and Staying Clean and Sober
WELCOME Hi There, this blog will be about what I believe to be REAL RECOVERY not band aids or feel good BS These are the hard cold true facts that I have learned and been taught by OLD TIMERS and People WHO HAVE REMAINED CLEAN and SOBER and "GOT A LIFE".There will be no original thoughts here, Because in essence there are no original thoughts only perhaps originals and/or different ways to present or illustrate old Ideas.Now that this is understood lets get to the heart of the matter. Recovery is not about coddling or enabling. IT IS LIFE CHANGING. PERIOD WELCOME to the hardest thing that you will do in YOUR LIFE. Make no mistake, Real recovery is not EASY, it is simple, very simple, Yet you will make it hard, as all before you have. Also let's get this STRAIGHT right off the top. REAL RECOVERY has nothing to do about ALCOHOL and/or Drugs. IT IS about the way you react to life, your perceptions, and YOUR actions. Alcohol and/or Drugs are just a symptom of YOUR disease. Take notice of the word DISEASE - Which in our case translates to ILL AT EASE or simply not at ease, which is the basic nature of our problem and answer to our solution.Back to why I state that this is the hardest thing you will do. I state this because Real Recovery Will challenge everything you know/believe or really what you think you know, Because you really don't know SHIT or you wouldn't need recovery. It will make you face the truth about your biggest problem YOU and YOUR THINKING. You will face the real you not the one we would like to see with all the justifications and rationalizations just the TRUE YOU.REMEMBER GOD DOES NOT CREATE GARBAGE >>>>>>>> If you have a request or enquiry Please Email me at wiledchild@live.ca I'd like to add one other thing here for all those who read this Blog. It's something that was taught to me That was invaluable to my recovery My Spiritual Advisor Taught me this. Don't believe a word I say , do not take what I say as the truth just because I say it or anybody else, for that matter. Check it out for yourself. Try it on for size. Investigate , find out for YOURSELF only use what you have read or heard as a reference point. Find the truth out for yourself . This way it is your TRUTH not someone else's. You will also not be believing a lie or untruth if you always check things for yourself . Do not believe everything you are told or read without checking it out.
