JFT July 5 Exploring the spiritual options


 

 

"The nature of our belief will determine the manner of our prayers and meditation."

Basic Text, p. 44

=

How do we pray?  For each NA member, this is a deeply personal matter.  Many of us find that, over time, we develop a manner of prayer and meditation based on what we learn from others and what we are comfortable with.

Some of us arrive in NA with a closed mind toward a Power greater than ourselves.  But when we sit down with our sponsor and discuss our difficulty, looking at the Second Step in depth, we are pleased to find that we can choose any concept of a Higher Power that appeals to us.

Just as our definition of a Power greater than ourselves differs from addict to addict, so does our manner of achieving a conscious contact.  Some attend religious services; some chant; some sit quietly or talk with whatever is out there; some find a spiritual connection by communing with nature.  The right way to pray and meditate is whatever way helps us improve our conscious contact with our own Higher Power.

Asking others how they found their spiritual guidance is always a good place to begin.  Reading literature before we enter periods of meditation can also help us.  Many have gone before us on this search.  As we seek spiritual growth, we can greatly benefit from their experience.

Just for today:  I will explore my options for improving my conscious contact with the God of my understanding.
