"For meditation to be of value, the results must show in our daily lives."

Basic Text, p. 47

In working our program, we are given many indirect indications of a Higher Power's presence in our lives: the clean feeling that comes to so many of us in taking our Fifth Step; the sense that we are finally on the right track when we make amends; the satisfaction we get from helping another addict.  Meditation, however, occasionally brings us extraordinary indications of Gods presence in our lives.  These experiences do not mean we have become perfect or that we are cured.  They are tastes given us of the source of our recovery itself, reminding us of the true nature of the thing we are pursuing in Narcotics Anonymous and encouraging us to continue walking our spiritual path.

Such experiences demonstrate, in no uncertain terms, that we have tapped a Power far greater than our own.  But how do we incorporate that extraordinary Power into our ordinary lives?  Our NA friends, our sponsor, and others in our communities may be more seasoned in spiritual matters than we are.  If we ask, they can help us fit our spiritual experiences into the natural pattern of recovery and spiritual growth.

Just for today:  I will seek whatever answers I may need to understand my spiritual experiences and incorporate them into my daily life.
