Practicing the Here and Now

Being intentional with Step 11, using prayer and meditation to work all the steps

With Practicing the Here and Now: Being Intentional with Step 11, you’ll learn to use prayer and meditation to work all the steps, so you can make contact with the Higher Power in a way that is yours and yours alone.

Step Eleven 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.

How do we unlock and experience the teachings of Step Eleven? Herb K. helps us realize that working—and living—this vital recovery maintenance step doesn’t have to be as challenging as commonly thought.

With Practicing the Here and Now, you’ll find guidance on using prayer and meditation to help you be present throughout each day, staying in contact with your Higher Power for ongoing inspiration and sustenance. By opening the connection to your Higher Power with what Herb K. calls intentional consciousness, prayer and meditation can help you fully experience the cumulative power of the Twelve Steps to deepen and sustain your recovery journey.
