Embracing Humility: Buddy C’s Step 7 Meditation for Recovery
I think of humility as the absence of pride. If I look at everything as being a gift from a higher power, it's easy for me not to get into pride and take credit for things when I know I am not the one that's accomplishing the things in my life anytime.
Humility isn't just a word; it's a powerful tool in the journey to sobriety. In this episode of 'Sober Meditations', Buddy C. invites you to explore the third 10-minute meditation in his Step 7 series. This session is all about understanding and embracing humility as a cornerstone of recovery. Buddy, who has been sober since 2008 after numerous relapses and a near-fatal bout with pancreatitis, brings his deep experience and open-minded approach to this meditation.
Starting with a calming body scan, Buddy helps listeners tune into their physical sensations, fostering a sense of appreciation for their bodies. From there, he delves into the essence of humility, emphasizing the importance of recognizing a higher power and staying present in the moment. Buddy's guidance encourages listeners to let go of the outcomes, whether good or bad, and focus on the here and now. Journaling is another tool Buddy recommends.
By reflecting on their progress and identifying areas where they need to surrender control, listeners can gain valuable insights into their recovery journey. Helping others is also highlighted as a way to reinforce personal growth and maintain sobriety. This meditation isn't just about listening; it's about actively engaging with the concepts and tools presented. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for some time, Buddy's Step 7 meditation offers practical advice and heartfelt encouragement.
Tune in to find out how humility can transform your approach to sobriety and provide a solid foundation for lasting change.
