Let Go!

Meditation 2 of 8

Hi, I am Buddy C, and this is our second 10-minute meditation in our Tao and Recovery Series. As an alcoholic, describing God as a “Higher Power” was new for me. Taoism and the Tao Te Ching have made this concept much more palatable and less novel than I once thought. In this series, we are going to talk about a specific tool in each meditation that has helped me.

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 guided meditations of 5, 10, and 20 minutes. The tools remain the same, with longer meditations providing more time for reflection and shared experiences about each tool.
