Giving It Away

by Laura on January 27, 2010 | Addiction

Hello everyone,

The recent events in Haiti show that there still is a lot of hope in human compassion.  When there is a large crisis in the world, it is wonderful to see everyone comes forth.  But why wait?  In the program of recovery we are given the gift of understanding how much you get filled up when you give.  Tradition one of A.A. states “Our common welfare should come first, personal recovery depends upon A.A. unity”.  Isn’t it the same for our individual communities?  How much do you find yourself giving, even if it’s just giving that extra smile to the person checking you through the grocery store.  Here is a meditation that will help bring this concept into your conscious awareness.  Close your eyes and just focus on your breathing for a moment.  Then picture yourself dressed all in white.  Picture yourself going through you average day, and each time you give to someone or something (even watering a plant) take a moment and feel the exchange of gratitude, appreciation and love.  I guarantee you…you’ll feel better when you open your eyes.  And who knows…you may find yourself getting filled with great energy as you practice this consciously through out your day.  :)
