Prayer and Meditation: This can be accomplished in a short
period of time; five or ten minutes. If you want to go longer than you can, but
at least practice 5 or ten minutes in the morning and at night when you are
going to sleep. There are no special prayers, religions, or meditations that
you need to follow, unless you want to. Your prayer can be to any higher power.
You can do it any way you want as long as you include these adapted 12-step principles and considerations in
your practice. Thank you, and happy prayer and meditation...
Morning: 5-10 minutes of prayer and meditation is enough.
-If you have any special prayer
this is a good time to say them
-Consider your plans for the day
-Ask your higher power to direct
your thinking
-Ask your higher power to divorce
you from self-pity, dishonesty and self-seeking motives; your thought process
will be on a much higher plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong motives.
-Ask for intuitive thoughts and
inspiration when you are facing indecision or confusion about what to do
-Ask to be helpful to others
-Begin meditation by entering a
period of silence. Allow yourself to receive guidance and instruction during
this time.
Night: 5-10 minutes of prayer and
meditation is enough.
-Review your day
-Were you resentful, dishonest,
selfish or afraid?
-Do you owe an apology to someone?
-Have you kept something to
yourself that needs to be discussed with another person?
-Were you kind and loving toward
all?
-What could I have done better?
-Was I thinking of myself most of
the time, or was I thinking of what I could do for others?
-Was I worrying about the future?
-Was I being negative?
-Ask your higher power for the
strength to correct these measures
-Begin meditation by entering a
period of silence. Allow yourself to receive guidance and instruction during
this time.
