Nature of Our Wrongs!
Meditation 1 of 9
Hi, I am Buddy C, and this is our first 20-minute meditation in our Step 5 Series. In this meditation, we start painting a picture of our inventory and how to proceed with the steps. We will talk about what a character defect is and what to do about it in this meditation, and a different tool in each of the other Step 5 meditations.
The purpose of this meditation is to look through our thoughts to clearly see the recovery that is at our fingertips, rather than focusing on our present circumstances that create the illusion that a drink would be a good idea. I know from personal experience that a drink is never a good idea. It is easy to lose sight of this when I am overwhelmed. Hopefully, this meditation will help you form a better perspective.
Remember, this meditation series offers 5-minute, 10-minute, and 20-minute guided meditations. The tools remain the same, with longer meditations providing more time for reflection and shared experiences about each tool.
