Once I have exercised a little with meditation to achieve some mindfulness. As well as experienced being able to keep my mind focused without wandering off with every thought and emotion that arises. I can now use meditation, in other words, thinking to contemplate deeper meanings. I can gain deeper understandings for myself that create feelings. I then hold those feelings so I may revisit them again in a meditative state of calm. I exercise like this and then those deeper meaning full experiences will arise more in my life. You could say that they become my habitual reactions.

184 – Buddhist 12 Step Recovery | Meditation means to think

Meditation means exercise. Exercising the mind into being self-observant, self-aware and present in the here and now; that is being mindful. Meditation also means thinking or contemplation. In today's episode I focus upon using the tool of meditation as a form of exercise to improve myself and my life. Today I give instruction on proper use of meditation and an introduction to this tool as part of my regular exercise.

183 – Buddhist 12 Step Recovery | Meditation – first as exercise.

This week I want to extend what I spoke about last week with Step 3 of AA before moving on to discussing Step 4. With that in mind I will focus upon sharing my thoughts and suggestions about prayer and meditation. Sharing what has been taught to me and my experience with those teachings.

Today we begin with prayer, a powerful too that I use to shape my destiny.

182 – Buddhist 12 Step Recovery | Prayer – a tool I use to craft my life.

Today I go longer than most episodes although I think I do for good reason. I also get a little emotional toward the end while I share part of my story. Sorry bout that but I hope you find something in the message.

181 – Buddhist 12 Step Recovery | Step 3 – A real life example

Today, rather than talk directly about step three, I share some of my general experiences and feelings about spirituality and how it's worked for me.
