THE QUOTE:
"When we decide who is to hear our story, we waste no time. We have a written inventory and we are prepared for a long talk. We explain to our partner what we are about to do and why we have to do it. He should realize that we are engaged upon a life-and-death errand. Most people approached in this way will be glad to help; they will be honored by our confidence.” —Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, Into Action, pg. 75
THE CHAKRA:
Third Eye Chakra, 6th Chakra
The Third Eye Chakra transcends time. It is located in the brain, at the brow, above the base of the nose. The gift of this chakra is seeing - both inner and outer worlds. The energy of this chakra allows us to experience clear thought as well as gifts of spiritual contemplation and self reflection. Through the gift of seeing we can internalize the outer world and with symbolic language we can externalize the inner world. The energy of this chakra allows us to access our inner guidance that comes from the depths of our being. It allows us to cut through illusion and to access deeper truths - to see beyond the mind, beyond the words. The "way of the third eye" is seeing everything as it is from a point of "witness" or "observer", or from simply being mindful - moment by moment.

THE WHY:
Every morning, at 4th Dimension Sobriety, we ask community members to participate in a non-denominational, non-religious, practice of group mediation and contemplation. Our mediation is based on the Upon Awakening, which is found on page 86 of the book Alcoholic Anonymous and conclude with 11th step prayer (The Saint Francis Prayer).
Exploring spirituality in the 11th Step can be a wonderfully illuminating process. This non-denominational, non-religious, practice of meditation is rooted in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. The 11th step helps us develop our conscious contact with God, resulting in a life rooted in a firm foundation. This daily practice leads to emotional balance and stability as we nurture our spirit and minds.
THE PROCESS:
1) On Awakening...followed by silence and reflection
2) Reflect on a reading from the Big Book of Alcoholic Anonymous...followed by silence and reflection
3) The Saint Francis Prayer
