Helping you to take the 1st Steps towards 11th Step Meditation…
The Eleventh Step of Alcoholics Anonymous states:
"Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out."
11th Step Meditation – Intentions
Having had a deeper spiritual awakening as the result of our 11th Step Meditation practice, we tried to carry this message of meditation to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Learn to meditate. I will persevere with patience to learn how to meditate to discover spiritual sobriety.
Meditate every day. I will be an example of living and actively practicing 11th Step Meditation everyday.
Meditate in groups. I will attend meditation groups or will start up an 11th Step Meditation Meeting in my community.
Help others to meditate. I will share my experience, strength and hope about my 11th Step Meditation practice with others.
It is our belief that we don’t have to wait until reach get to the 11th Step to begin meditating. It is important to begin to learn to meditate from the beginning of our sobriety. We can actually practice each of the steps in meditation and strengthen and deepen the outer actions of working the steps with your sponsor.
