MEDITATION ~

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:

God is the mirror of silence
in which all creation is reflected.

Paramahansa Yogananda

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:
The disease of compulsive overeating is a
devious one. It tries to tell me that I'm not a
worthwhile person. It tries to tell me that I'm
never going to recover, so I may as well eat.
The disease tries to make me feel like I'm
the lowest of the low.

Fortunately, there are many things in this
recovery program that counteract the disease.
I can use a food plan to make sure I don't eat
what I'm not supposed to eat. I can read
program literature to show me how to live
triumphantly. I can work the Steps, do service,
make outreach calls; there's so much I can do
which can bring recovery from compulsive overeating.

Another of the things I can do to counteract my
disease is meditation. When I meditate, I come
into conscious contact with my Higher Power.
Meditation helps me to see that I am a worthwhile
person, that God loves me just as I am. When I
meditate I gain insights into the program literature
I'm reading, I learn the things I need to do to
further
my recovery. I also learn the things that stifle my
growth, so I can stop doing them. Meditation is very
important to my recovery program.

ONE DAY AT A TIME ...
I remember the importance of meditation, and I
meditate every day.
