DREAMWARRIOR RECOVERY: You are not your mind, your emotions or the circumstances of your life.

DREAMWARRIOR RECOVERY: You are not your mind, your emotions or the circumstances of your life.

You are the peaceful observer of your mind and emotions that allows life circumstances to pass through and around you for your evolution to finally come to a place of total acceptance of all that is. Only the peaceful observer remains after all else fades away. Only the peaceful observer in total acceptance of what is can take action towards effectively changing anything. You are only this peaceful observer - everything else is as fleeting as the blink of an eye, choose happiness and don't buy into it.

The difference between groups and communities in recovery is fundamental.

The difference between groups and communities in recovery is fundamental. Spiritually Evolving Steps The difference between groups and communities in recovery is fundamental. Groups can and do foster a form of dependency whilst community fosters interdependence. This interdependence leads to greater autonomy and mental health one of the definitions of interdependence is: “a reciprocal relation between interdependent entities." The key word here is: "reciprocal." 

Interdependence can be thought of as a relationship where each party gives and receives from his or her own internal overflow. This is TOTALLY different than "co dependence" which can be thought of as being "addicted to someone." Another way to look at it, spiritually, is this: A codependent person makes someone else his or her Higher Power. An interdependent person knows that a power greater than themselves has become their Higher Power and keeps their focus on that, while choosing to be in a relationship with someone else who is also looking to a higher power to fulfil them. One of the the first thing on joining into our community recovery, “We have to keep our eyes on our personal higher power to fulfil us spiritually. You and I, we are imperfect and flawed human beings who are going to mess up. We can't look to each other to fulfil us in recovery; I want to be in a relationship in my recovery where we keep our eyes on our higher power, which allows us to love ourselves and each other as imperfect beings.” You see, when we make someone else our Higher Power, we are REALLY setting ourselves up for pain.

 This is a top cause of pain in recovery, sponsors and sponsorship and the inappropriate use of control within the groups cause breakups. We are looking to someone else for something they can never give us, which is perfect and unwavering Love. There is only one place this type of unconditional Love comes from and that is from your higher power. The Love of your higher power never changes; other people change all the time. When we keep our eyes on our higher power and surrender to Its will for us, we take everyone else off the hook for our happiness. We no longer seek to take Love from the group members, but to show come from a place of overflow the community and give Love to all. This kind of relationship with a higher power creates really great givers and Forgivers. This is the cornerstone of having an awesome and long-lasting relationship in recovery. Are you making a group your Higher Power? Are you ready to take your eyes off of them and put your eyes instead toward a higher power and accept Its perfect Love for you? Can you see yourself and those you are in relationship in recovery with as imperfect human beings who are fallible and Love them anyway, not because they are fulfilling your every need, but because it is Love that is who you really are? Do you think you might have just changed your addiction you might now have become addicted to someone or something?

If you feel offended about something, you... - Spiritual Lifestyle Coaching

If you feel offended about something, you haven’t been meditating enough. If you feel the need to defend yourself, or justify your viewpoints, you haven’t been meditating enough. If you fear death or doubt its ability to truly touch you, you haven’t been meditating enough. If you can’t take joy in sitting under a tree on a beautiful day, you haven’t been meditating enough. You can also substitute “meditation” with “contemplation” in the sentences above. We can’t be meditating all the time but if you have to use your mind, use it to create clarity for yourself.

In an intulexia model, addiction is as a complex web of social factors, physical, pre-disposition and personal history.

In an intulexia model, addiction is as a complex web of social factors, physical, pre-disposition and personal history. This empowerment model encourages individuals to develop their own internal belief system based on their perceptions and experiences. It is fluid and open to change as the person evolves. It believes that a major task of healing from addiction is to validate the underlying, positive survival goals for safety, connection, pleasure, love and power. Then to find non-addictive and positive ways to meet those needs. It is also crucial to create a healthy physical balance to prevent cravings.

The Language of Letting Go

“How easy it is to blame our problems on others. ‘Look at what he’s doing.’… ‘Look how long I’ve waited.’… ‘Why doesn’t she call?’… ‘If only he’d change then I’d be happy.’…” –Melody Beattie, The Language of Letting Go

Pursuits that distract us. Ultimately, the decisions we make with the resources we've been given determine the life we end up living

Pursuits that distract us. Ultimately, the decisions we make with the resources we've been given determine the life we end up living. Most of the resources we have at our personal disposal are finite and limited (money, time, energy). By definition, the allocation of them towards one pursuit limits the amount of resources we have available towards others. It is wise to recognise the subtle pursuits that routinely distract you from the truest desires of your heart.

16-Steps for Empowerment and Discovery

The self-help measures are of a nature of advice given in 12-step programs and are not intended for children under age and in the care of their parents without parental permission. The therapy is safe when the anger is redirected and if there are no serious health conditions. It is best not to make changes in work or relationship during the recovery period unless you are in danger. I cannot assume responsibility for any misunderstanding of the biological concepts. If you use this self-therapy you do so at your own risk. This article does not suggest discontinuing professional therapy or the use of prescribed drugs as ordered by physicians. You can begin the self-therapy while using other therapies and on medication. In time you will not need therapy or medication.
