THE QUOTE: As we go through the day we pause, when agitated or doubtful, and ask for the right thought or action. We constantly remind ourselves we are no longer running the show, humbly saying to ourselves many times each day 'Thy will be done.' We are then in much less danger of excitement, fear, anger, worry, self-pity, or foolish decisions. We become much more efficient. We do not tire so easily, for we are not burning up energy foolishly as we did when we were trying to arrange life to suit ourselves. - Pg 87-88 - Into Action

THE CHAKRA:Root/Red/Tone CRoot Chakra, 1st ChakraThe Root Chakra is the first chakra and is located at the base of the spine. It is the root of your being and establishes the deepest connections with your physical body, your environment and with the Earth. The energy of the Root Chakra allows us to harness courage, resourcefulness and the will to live during trying times. It connects us with spiritual energies of our ancestors, their challenges and their triumphs. Since Base Chakra carries our ancestral memories, basically everyone experiences challenges or blockages within muladhara. These memories are imprinted in the subtle body and are passed down from generation to generation creating unconscious generational patterns. It is our work to take responsibility for our own lives and bring to light that which is unconsciousFOR YOUR OWN C NOTE CRYSTAL SINGING BOWL
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
