PART ONE

The 12 Steps
Meditation for Step One
Step One: “We admitted we were powerless over alcohol and our lives had become unmanageable.” 1
“Surrender is the key to ascending and truly transforming your life. Surrender in each moment as it comes, and you will live a life full of rich moments.” (Author Unknown)
This meditation starts with a body scan that assists in relaxation and focus and leads into the portion specific on Step One.
• Body Scan
Now close your eyes… leave all your worries at the door. Allow yourself to relax into the moment. There is only right here, right now.
Clinging to nothing, just be at rest with what is.
(pause)
Focus on your breathing and the words you hear and if your mind gets distracted, let my voice bring you back and then focus again on your breathing.
Relax now and just breathe.
(pause)
Observe the natural rhythm and flow of your breath.
Take a few moments now, to pay closer attention to it, giving thanks for its presence.
(pause)
Notice the pause at the top of your inhale and again at the bottom of your exhale.
(pause)
Go within, don’t think, just breathe.
(pause)
Take a long slow deep breath in and hold it for a moment. Then slowly exhale with a sigh. Allow any tension to melt away.
(pause)
Feel the coolness of the air on the tip of your nose as you inhale and the warmth of the breath as you exhale.
(pause)
Feel the rise of your chest and abdomen on each inhale and the fall on every exhale. As you exhale, let go of any stress or tension, see it floating away, as you gradually relax more deeply with each breath.
(pause)
Grounding ourselves helps us to shed any feelings of anxiety, restlessness, or fear that may be lingering in body or mind.
So, take a few minutes now to feel grounded and simply connected to the earth. Notice the breath as it nourishes every cell of your body.
(pause)
Focused breathing allows your mind to slow down. On your own really focus on your next three breathes as you gently inhale and exhale.
(pause)
Feel the energy that comes from the earth, its strength and stability. Let this energy ground you. Feel that energy come through the souls of your feet, like a breeze flowing through and over your entire body.
(pause)
Now, feeling that grounded energy, begin to feel a tingle in the tips of your toes and the souls of your feet, know that you are safe, stable, supported and loved.
(pause)
Now, gently bring your focus to your ankles, your calves, your thighs, feeling those muscles relax, as you feel yourself sinking into the surface you are resting upon.
(pause)
Breathe in and breathe out.
Move your focus to your buttocks… and hips, release any tension you may be feeling and allow yourself to drift into a state of deep relaxation.
(pause)
Focus on the base of your spine, relaxing the muscles in your lower back, feel a warmth and think of the strong color red, as this area represents stability, safety, and security.
(pause)
Now allow that feeling of warmth and relaxation to move to your lower abdominal muscles, just below your belly button, and think of the warm color orange, as this area represents creativity and sexual energies.
(pause)
Feel your body relaxing with each breathe you take.
(pause)
Move your focus to your upper abdominal muscles, just above your belly button, relax those muscles and feel a warmth and relaxation as you think of the vibrant color yellow, as this area represents will-power, self-esteem, pleasure, and personal responsibility.
(pause)
Breathe in God’s love and peace and breathe out all resistance.
(pause)
Now feel the warmth and relaxation move slowly and gently to your heart center, in the middle of your chest and about two inches in, and think of a beautiful color of green, as this area represents self-love, our love for others and governs our relationships.
(pause)
Feel yourself becoming deeper and deeper relaxed, your breath will assist you.
(pause)
Feel the muscles in your upper back and chest release and open. Relax your neck and shoulders and allow the relaxation to flow through your arms, and hands.
Begin to feel a tingle in your fingertips and allow any remaining tension in your body to flow out through your fingertips and be released into nothingness.
(pause)
Slowly move your focus to your throat, feeling the muscles of your throat loosen and open, as you think of the soft color of light blue, as this area represents the ability to speak clearly and effectively.
Unclench your teeth, release your jaw muscles, relax the muscles in your cheeks, and just breathe.
(pause)
Let your focus move to your eyes. Now, relax your eye lids and your eye sockets.
(pause)
Gently, move your focus to the spot near the middle of your forehead, between your eyebrows. Relax your eyebrows and all the muscles in your forehead, and think of the color indigo blue, as this area represents foresight, intuition, clarity, and is driven by openness and imagination.
(pause)
Bring your focus to the very top of your head, the crown of your head, feel a tingle there as you relax the muscles in your scalp, and feel it opening as you think of the majestic color of purple, as this area represents Divine connection, and a higher state of consciousness.
(pause)
Now, imagine a bright and beautiful ribbon of crystalline white light coming from above and tethering you to the heavens. Let that light flow to you and through you, enveloping you in a bubble of love and protection.
(pause)
Take a deep breath in and as you exhale allow any remaining
