THE TWELVE STEPS OF ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS

1.    We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had
      become unmanageable.
2.    Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could
      restore us to sanity.
3.    Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of
      God as we understood Him.
4.    Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5.    Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the
      exact nature of our wrongs.
6.    Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of
      character.
7.    Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8.    Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to
      make amends to them all.
9.    Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except
      when to do so would injure them or others.
10.   Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong
      promptly admitted it.
11.   Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious
      contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for
      knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12.   Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we
      tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these
      principles in all our affairs.

LITANY OF THE TWELVE POWERS

POWER

FACILITATOR: We give the world the gift of power. The powerful
affirmation of the Truth of God is our gift to the world. Through the
power of the Healing Christ within we have mastery over all circumstances.

PARTICIPANTS: We release that power in positive ways; upbuilding,
creating; liberating and enlightening as we speak. We affirm only the good;
we affirm only love; we affirm only power; we affirm only peace and
reaffirm the power of God on earth. There is always help at hand.

FAITH

FACILITATOR: We give to the world the gift of our faith. This is the
faith that knows God is the true essence of everything. This is unshakable;
it knows God is the only power at work in every situation.

PARTICIPANTS: This is the faith that acknowledges for all people
everywhere, “You are the Christ, the son of the living God.” This is the
firm foundation which underlies all of God’s creation and self-expression.

WILL

FACILITATOR: We give to the world the gift of our will. We let go all
small ego concerns. We relax our hold upon earthly demands. We let go of
tension and stress. We know that God is in charge of this world and we
give to the world our willingness to let God’s perfect will be done.




                                                                          6
PARTICIPANTS: We acknowledge that God’s will for us all is good and only
good. We give our will to God and let God’s will rule the world.

JUDGMENT

FACILITATOR: We give to the world the gift of judgment. Divine wisdom
is being established in all people everywhere. The ability to make wise,
well-thought-out decisions; the ability to remember and retain needed
information; the ability to put things into proper perspective; the ability to
weigh options and make right choices, is given to everyone.

PARTICIPANTS: This gift comes from our hearts and minds and flows
freely into God’s great world. We send forth into all the world the gift of
judgment.

UNDERSTANDING

FACILITATOR: We give to the world the gift of understanding. We
recognize there are many troubled situations in our world and to these
situations we give understanding. We are aware of God’s laws of order,
peace, love, and wisdom stand under all of His creation.

PARTICIPANTS: The foundation of our world is God and we give strength
to that foundation by our understanding. We acknowledge the good, active
in our lives. We give thanks that the perfect, full expression of the Christ
is for all men.

ORDER

FACILITATOR: We give the world the gift of order. We realize that
there is no need, no situation that the love of Christ cannot harmonize,
adjust and make right, for the love of Christ establishes Divine Order. We


                                      7
are in tune with the Infinite. Our gift of order establishes itself in proper
timing and perfect peace.

PARTICIPANTS: All confusion and disorder are dissolved. The power of
God is active in the world in an orderly, peaceful, loving way. We dedicate
ourselves to Divine Order in our world.

RENUNCIATION

FACILITATOR: We give to the world the gift of renunciation. Our world is
cleansed by the Healing Christ. With one clean sweep the power of Christ
frees us from mistaken ideas and makes room for higher concepts of
perfection. Hurts of the past year, misunderstandings, and sorrows are
now washed away. We renounce self-will and self-absorption.

PARTICIPANTS: We release all unforgiving thoughts and feelings. We let
go of the past. We establish a new, fresh wonderful world, knowing that
the past is gone forever.

STRENGTH

FACILITATOR: We give to the world the gift of our strength. Christ is
our strength. In the midst of confusion we are held steady and calm. We
acknowledge our patience and steadfastness in Truth.

PARTICIPANTS: We know for all people, everywhere, that they have the
inner resources to face life with their courage. God is our refuge and
strength. We can do all things in him who strengthens us.




                                                                            8
LOVE

FACILITATOR: We give to the world the gift of our Love. As part of
God’s self-expression we are important and are needed to fill our own
particular niche in life. No one else can express God’s love to the world in
exactly the way we can. We bless others. We acknowledge God’s life in
action in our world.

PARTICIPANTS: Jesus said, “A new commandment I give to you, that you
love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”
So, we send forth into the world the spiritual love of the Healing Christ.

LIFE

FACILITATOR: We give the world the gift of life. We acknowledge that
every phase of life is fascinating. We rejoice in the new ideas, new
discoveries, new revelations and new involvement of each day. We give the
awareness of purpose to every part of life.

PARTICIPANTS: We send out thoughts of pure health and revitalizing life
to everyone on the globe. We acknowledge our gift of life to the world.

IMAGINATION

FACILITATOR: We give the world the gift of imagination. We imagine a
world full of love. We image a world of peace. We image everyone well fed.
We image every home prospered. We image each person realizing the truth
of their being and accepting their indwelling Christ.

PARTICIPANTS: We image all people living up to their fullest potentials.
We image a world where everyone accepts that they are all God’s image.
May we always be aware of the Indwelling Christ in everyone.


                                     9
ZEAL

FACILITATOR: We give to the world the gift of our zeal. Joy, enthusiasm
and zeal bring sparkle into the world. The indomitable Spirit of God uplifts
and sustains us. Whatever the need, we are lifted up by the Spirit of God
and all is fulfilled. We celebrate happiness.

PARTICIPANTS: We celebrate the joy and enthusiasm that bubbles up
and bursts forth into the world bringing the everlasting goodness of God.
We send forth with joy the awareness of spiritual zeal.


ALL: There is only One Presence, and One Power, active in the universe and
in my life - God, the Good, Omnipotent! Wherever we are, God is!

RECOVERY PRAYERS


                                      The Serenity Prayer

              GOD, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
          Courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

    Living ONE DAY AT A TIME; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardship as the
      pathway to peace. Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.
      Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be
    reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen.
                                     Reinhold Neibuhr. 1926.


                                       Third Step Prayer
         God, I offer myself to Thee - To build with me and do with me as Thou wilt.
              Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will.
Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy
               Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of Life. May I do Thy will always!


                                     Fifth Step Prayer
 Higher Power, my inventory has shown me who I am, yet I ask for Your help in admitting my
wrongs to another person and to You. Assure me, and be with me, in this Step, for without this
      Step I cannot progress in my recovery. With Your help, I can do this, and I do it.



                                       Sixth Step Prayer
    Higher Power, I am ready for Your help in removing from me the defects of character
   which I now realise are an obstacle to my recovery. Help me to continue being honest with
                    myself and guide me toward spiritual and mental health.


                                     Seventh Step Prayer
             My Creator, I am willing that You should have all of me, good and bad.
             I pray that You now remove from me every single defect of character
                which stands in the way of my usefulness to You and my fellows.
                  Grant me strength, as I go out from here to do Your bidding.




                                               11
Tenth Step Prayer
When character defects (eg selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear) manifest,
                we ask our Higher Power at once to remove them.
            "How can I best serve thee - Thy will (not mine) be done."

                                Eleventh Step Prayer
                       (Peace Prayer of St Francis of Assisi)
                    Lord, Make me an instrument of your peace.
                     Where there is hatred, let me bring love.
                            Where there is injury, pardon.
                             Where there is doubt, faith.
                            Where there is despair, hope.
                           Where there is darkness, light.
                             Where there is sadness, joy.
                          Where there is discord, harmony.
                             Where there is error, truth.
                  Where there is wrong, the spirit of forgiveness.
                                   O Divine Master,
                         Grant that I may not so much seek
                             To be consoled as to console.
                         To be understood as to understand.
                                To be loved as to love.
                          For it is in giving that we receive.
                      It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
                   It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

                           Release from Anger Prayer
                           A.A. “Big Book”, 3rd ed., p. 67

                  When a person offended we said to ourselves,
                 “This is a sick man. How can I be helpful to him?
                 God save me from being angry. Thy will be done.”

                                 Unity Affirmations
                     There is only One Presence and One Power
         active in the Universe and in my Life - God, the Good, Omnipotent.

                              Wherever I am, God is.




                                                                                      12
THE TWELVE POWERS ROSARY

A set of Twelve Powers rosary beads (designed by Ian Ellis-Jones) consists of a
total of 26 coloured beads, comprised as follows:-

       • 1 pearl bead (known as the “Christ [or Higher Power] bead”),
       • 12 differently coloured beads, coloured (in order) purple, deep blue,
         silver, yellow, gold, green, deep russet, light green, pink, blood red, light
         blue and orange (known as the “Power beads”), and
       • 13 “in-between” beads (known as the “Affirmation beads”).

Beginning with the Christ bead recite either the Lord’s Prayer or the Serenity
Prayer. Then, moving in a clockwise direction:

       •   recite (1-3 times) the following Unity affirmation on each of the
           Affirmation beads:

                         There is only One Presence and One Power active in the Universe
                                   and in my Life - God, the Good, Omnipotent.


       •   recite the following affirmation, or something suitable of your own
           choice, on each of the Power beads (or, alternatively, meditate on
           whatever Power corresponds to the colour of the particular bead):

                 Through the power of the Indwelling Christ [or With the help of my Higher Power]
                    my faculty of … [INSERT THE PARTICULAR POWER] awakens in me now.


The Twelve Powers Rosary can easily be adapted into a “Twelve Steps Rosary” by
either reciting or meditating upon each of the Twelve Steps one-by-one instead
of the Twelve Powers.

NOTE. Reciting the Twelve Powers Rosary on a regular basis should slow your breathing to
about 6 breaths per minute (a rate believed to be favourable to heart function). This is good
for the workings of your heart and lungs. It is also good for your serenity and spiritual growth.




                                                13
MAKING CONTACT WITH YOUR HIGHER POWER
            or HOW TO KNOW THE SELF AS ONE
The purpose of this meditation is to assist in the recognition of the true Being of the "I AM" in
yourself, so that you can move from a "sense of self" to a "sense of Being". Use this powerful
meditation to enter into a state of choiceless awareness of your "true Self" (your “Higher Power” or
“Power-not-oneself”) or whenever you simply need to get your mind off yourself.


                          SENSE OF BEING MEDITATION
I have a body, but "I" am not that body.
I have a brain, but "I" am not that brain.
I have thoughts, but "I" am not those thoughts.
I have emotions, feelings and desires, but "I" am not those emotions, feelings or
     desires.
I Am the "I" of me, the reality of me, but I am not my sense of self,
     the false "I's" and "me's" in me.
I Am that in me that lives and moves and has Its Being.
I Am that Centre of Consciousness from which all things are a matter of
     observation.
I Am the impersonal, I am the personal.
I am in the presence of pure Being.
I Am my Being. Life is Being. Its Being is my Being.
I Am not something apart from my Being.
I Am the Eternal Presence and Power of my own Self, my innermost real Being. I Am
     All-in-All, overall all and through all.
I Am within me is the only Presence there is.
I Am That. That am I. I Am all there is.
I Am. It is.
I Am my Real Self, the Self in all. That Self is not a thing of time or circumstance.
I know the Self as One. The Self in me is One with the Self in all.
I Am that which I Am.
My "I Am-ness" is what Is, and that is what in Truth I am.




                                                                                                 14
HAWAIIAN UNITY POWER MEDITATION




Sit comfortably, with a straight back. Gently relax. Lay your hands in your lap,
palms cupped upward, left palm resting gently on top of the right palm. Lightly
being together and touch your thumbs. Now close your eyes. As you breathe in,
deeply, through the nose, focus all your attention on the crown of your head. As you
exhale, fully, through the mouth, making the sound ha, focus all your attention on
your navel. Your out-breath should be about twice as long as your in-breath. (This
is known as piko piko breathing.) Continue to observe your breath throughout the
meditation. As you breathe in and out, ever so deeply and fully, think of something
really beautiful (for example, a beautiful lake, beach or mountain, or perhaps a
rainbow or sunset). See it clearly in your mind’s eye and hold it there. Visualise its
beauty. As you hold this image of great beauty in your mind begin to bless it with
your breathing. Continue blessing all that you are visualising. Continue to observe
your breath. Should memories, thoughts or feelings arise, just notice them, but
don't cling to them. Don’t resist them or try to make them go away. What you
resist, persists. Just observe the thoughts gently and dispassionately, without
judgment, and let them go. Continue to follow your breath. Stay awake and aware
… and perfectly relaxed. Now, envision yourself being in a cocoon of white light.
Visualising the white light radiating out from your heart as you send forth mana
(‘life force’) to your loved ones, in fact, to all persons, especially those with whom
you are currently experiencing difficulties. Bless them all. Relax … and let go. Feel
the brilliance of the white light. Feel it intensify into every part, indeed every cell,
of your body. Continue to follow your breath. Stay quietly in this meditation until
you feel that you are ready to come back, then gently slip back into the now. Just
before you open your eyes, take a quick deep breath. … Now, gently open your eyes.
Now say mahalo, which means … thank you. “Mahalo, Spirit of Life within me.”

  • 6. LITANY OF THE TWELVE POWERS POWER FACILITATOR: We give the world the gift of power. The powerful affirmation of the Truth of God is our gift to the world. Through the power of the Healing Christ within we have mastery over all circumstances. PARTICIPANTS: We release that power in positive ways; upbuilding, creating; liberating and enlightening as we speak. We affirm only the good; we affirm only love; we affirm only power; we affirm only peace and reaffirm the power of God on earth. There is always help at hand. FAITH FACILITATOR: We give to the world the gift of our faith. This is the faith that knows God is the true essence of everything. This is unshakable; it knows God is the only power at work in every situation. PARTICIPANTS: This is the faith that acknowledges for all people everywhere, “You are the Christ, the son of the living God.” This is the firm foundation which underlies all of God’s creation and self-expression. WILL FACILITATOR: We give to the world the gift of our will. We let go all small ego concerns. We relax our hold upon earthly demands. We let go of tension and stress. We know that God is in charge of this world and we give to the world our willingness to let God’s perfect will be done. 6
  • 7. PARTICIPANTS: We acknowledge that God’s will for us all is good and only good. We give our will to God and let God’s will rule the world. JUDGMENT FACILITATOR: We give to the world the gift of judgment. Divine wisdom is being established in all people everywhere. The ability to make wise, well-thought-out decisions; the ability to remember and retain needed information; the ability to put things into proper perspective; the ability to weigh options and make right choices, is given to everyone. PARTICIPANTS: This gift comes from our hearts and minds and flows freely into God’s great world. We send forth into all the world the gift of judgment. UNDERSTANDING FACILITATOR: We give to the world the gift of understanding. We recognize there are many troubled situations in our world and to these situations we give understanding. We are aware of God’s laws of order, peace, love, and wisdom stand under all of His creation. PARTICIPANTS: The foundation of our world is God and we give strength to that foundation by our understanding. We acknowledge the good, active in our lives. We give thanks that the perfect, full expression of the Christ is for all men. ORDER FACILITATOR: We give the world the gift of order. We realize that there is no need, no situation that the love of Christ cannot harmonize, adjust and make right, for the love of Christ establishes Divine Order. We 7
  • 8. are in tune with the Infinite. Our gift of order establishes itself in proper timing and perfect peace. PARTICIPANTS: All confusion and disorder are dissolved. The power of God is active in the world in an orderly, peaceful, loving way. We dedicate ourselves to Divine Order in our world. RENUNCIATION FACILITATOR: We give to the world the gift of renunciation. Our world is cleansed by the Healing Christ. With one clean sweep the power of Christ frees us from mistaken ideas and makes room for higher concepts of perfection. Hurts of the past year, misunderstandings, and sorrows are now washed away. We renounce self-will and self-absorption. PARTICIPANTS: We release all unforgiving thoughts and feelings. We let go of the past. We establish a new, fresh wonderful world, knowing that the past is gone forever. STRENGTH FACILITATOR: We give to the world the gift of our strength. Christ is our strength. In the midst of confusion we are held steady and calm. We acknowledge our patience and steadfastness in Truth. PARTICIPANTS: We know for all people, everywhere, that they have the inner resources to face life with their courage. God is our refuge and strength. We can do all things in him who strengthens us. 8
  • 9. LOVE FACILITATOR: We give to the world the gift of our Love. As part of God’s self-expression we are important and are needed to fill our own particular niche in life. No one else can express God’s love to the world in exactly the way we can. We bless others. We acknowledge God’s life in action in our world. PARTICIPANTS: Jesus said, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.” So, we send forth into the world the spiritual love of the Healing Christ.

We rejoice in the new ideas, new discoveries, new revelations and new involvement of each day. We give the awareness of purpose to every part of life. PARTICIPANTS: We send out thoughts of pure health and revitalizing life to everyone on the globe. We acknowledge our gift of life to the world. IMAGINATION FACILITATOR: We give the world the gift of imagination. We imagine a world full of love. We image a world of peace. We image everyone well fed. We image every home prospered. We image each person realizing the truth of their being and accepting their indwelling Christ. PARTICIPANTS: We image all people living up to their fullest potentials. We image a world where everyone accepts that they are all God’s image. May we always be aware of the Indwelling Christ in everyone. 9
  • 10. ZEAL FACILITATOR: We give to the world the gift of our zeal. Joy, enthusiasm and zeal bring sparkle into the world. The indomitable Spirit of God uplifts and sustains us. Whatever the need, we are lifted up by the Spirit of God and all is fulfilled. We celebrate happiness. PARTICIPANTS: We celebrate the joy and enthusiasm that bubbles up and bursts forth into the world bringing the everlasting goodness of God. We send forth with joy the awareness of spiritual zeal. ALL: There is only One Presence, and One Power, active in the universe and in my life - God, the Good, Omnipotent! Wherever we are, God is! Source: www.unity.org. Adapted. 10
  • 11. RECOVERY PRAYERS The Serenity Prayer GOD, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living ONE DAY AT A TIME; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace. Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it. Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen. Reinhold Neibuhr. 1926. Third Step Prayer God, I offer myself to Thee - To build with me and do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of Life. May I do Thy will always! Fifth Step Prayer Higher Power, my inventory has shown me who I am, yet I ask for Your help in admitting my wrongs to another person and to You. Assure me, and be with me, in this Step, for without this Step I cannot progress in my recovery. With Your help, I can do this, and I do it. Sixth Step Prayer Higher Power, I am ready for Your help in removing from me the defects of character which I now realise are an obstacle to my recovery. Help me to continue being honest with myself and guide me toward spiritual and mental health. Seventh Step Prayer My Creator, I am willing that You should have all of me, good and bad. I pray that You now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to You and my fellows. Grant me strength, as I go out from here to do Your bidding. 11
  • 12. Tenth Step Prayer When character defects (eg selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear) manifest, we ask our Higher Power at once to remove them. "How can I best serve thee - Thy will (not mine) be done." Eleventh Step Prayer (Peace Prayer of St Francis of Assisi) Lord, Make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me bring love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy. Where there is discord, harmony. Where there is error, truth. Where there is wrong, the spirit of forgiveness. O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek To be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand. To be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned. It is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Release from Anger Prayer A.A. “Big Book”, 3rd ed., p. 67 When a person offended we said to ourselves, “This is a sick man. How can I be helpful to him? God save me from being angry. Thy will be done.” Unity Affirmations There is only One Presence and One Power active in the Universe and in my Life - God, the Good, Omnipotent. Wherever I am, God is. 12
  • 13. THE TWELVE POWERS ROSARY A set of Twelve Powers rosary beads (designed by Ian Ellis-Jones) consists of a total of 26 coloured beads, comprised as follows:- • 1 pearl bead (known as the “Christ [or Higher Power] bead”), • 12 differently coloured beads, coloured (in order) purple, deep blue, silver, yellow, gold, green, deep russet, light green, pink, blood red, light blue and orange (known as the “Power beads”), and • 13 “in-between” beads (known as the “Affirmation beads”). Beginning with the Christ bead recite either the Lord’s Prayer or the Serenity Prayer. Then, moving in a clockwise direction: • recite (1-3 times) the following Unity affirmation on each of the Affirmation beads: There is only One Presence and One Power active in the Universe and in my Life - God, the Good, Omnipotent. • recite the following affirmation, or something suitable of your own choice, on each of the Power beads (or, alternatively, meditate on whatever Power corresponds to the colour of the particular bead): Through the power of the Indwelling Christ [or With the help of my Higher Power] my faculty of … [INSERT THE PARTICULAR POWER] awakens in me now. The Twelve Powers Rosary can easily be adapted into a “Twelve Steps Rosary” by either reciting or meditating upon each of the Twelve Steps one-by-one instead of the Twelve Powers. NOTE. Reciting the Twelve Powers Rosary on a regular basis should slow your breathing to about 6 breaths per minute (a rate believed to be favourable to heart function). This is good for the workings of your heart and lungs. It is also good for your serenity and spiritual growth. 13
  • 14. MAKING CONTACT WITH YOUR HIGHER POWER or HOW TO KNOW THE SELF AS ONE The purpose of this meditation is to assist in the recognition of the true Being of the "I AM" in yourself, so that you can move from a "sense of self" to a "sense of Being". Use this powerful meditation to enter into a state of choiceless awareness of your "true Self" (your “Higher Power” or “Power-not-oneself”) or whenever you simply need to get your mind off yourself. SENSE OF BEING MEDITATION I have a body, but "I" am not that body. I have a brain, but "I" am not that brain. I have thoughts, but "I" am not those thoughts. I have emotions, feelings and desires, but "I" am not those emotions, feelings or desires. I Am the "I" of me, the reality of me, but I am not my sense of self, the false "I's" and "me's" in me. I Am that in me that lives and moves and has Its Being. I Am that Centre of Consciousness from which all things are a matter of observation. I Am the impersonal, I am the personal. I am in the presence of pure Being. I Am my Being. Life is Being. Its Being is my Being. I Am not something apart from my Being. I Am the Eternal Presence and Power of my own Self, my innermost real Being. I Am All-in-All, overall all and through all. I Am within me is the only Presence there is. I Am That. That am I. I Am all there is. I Am. It is. I Am my Real Self, the Self in all. That Self is not a thing of time or circumstance. I know the Self as One. The Self in me is One with the Self in all. I Am that which I Am. My "I Am-ness" is what Is, and that is what in Truth I am. 14
  • 15. HAWAIIAN UNITY POWER MEDITATION Sit comfortably, with a straight back. Gently relax. Lay your hands in your lap, palms cupped upward, left palm resting gently on top of the right palm. Lightly being together and touch your thumbs. Now close your eyes. As you breathe in, deeply, through the nose, focus all your attention on the crown of your head. As you exhale, fully, through the mouth, making the sound ha, focus all your attention on your navel. Your out-breath should be about twice as long as your in-breath. (This is known as piko piko breathing.) Continue to observe your breath throughout the meditation. As you breathe in and out, ever so deeply and fully, think of something really beautiful (for example, a beautiful lake, beach or mountain, or perhaps a rainbow or sunset). See it clearly in your mind’s eye and hold it there. Visualise its beauty. As you hold this image of great beauty in your mind begin to bless it with your breathing. Continue blessing all that you are visualising. Continue to observe your breath. Should memories, thoughts or feelings arise, just notice them, but don't cling to them. Don’t resist them or try to make them go away. What you resist, persists. Just observe the thoughts gently and dispassionately, without judgment, and let them go. Continue to follow your breath. Stay awake and aware … and perfectly relaxed. Now, envision yourself being in a cocoon of white light. Visualising the white light radiating out from your heart as you send forth mana (‘life force’) to your loved ones, in fact, to all persons, especially those with whom you are currently experiencing difficulties. Bless them all. Relax … and let go. Feel the brilliance of the white light. Feel it intensify into every part, indeed every cell, of your body. Continue to follow your breath. Stay quietly in this meditation until you feel that you are ready to come back, then gently slip back into the now. Just before you open your eyes, take a quick deep breath. … Now, gently open your eyes. Now say mahalo, which means … thank you. “Mahalo, Spirit of Life within me.” 15
