Here is a quick update on the status of 12-step Alternative group meetings this month. Meetings will continue to be weekly rather than monthly. I was considering a monthly meeting due to poor attendance, but in the meeting after the last post, an individual attended that really liked the meeting, so I decided to keep them weekly.
It seems every time I get discouraged about the lack of attendance, someone comes to the meeting and appears to get something out of the meeting. I guess Higher Power does not want me to quit this group. In keeping with this directive, I will continue to serve.
This week’s meeting topic was about the process of change that takes place when one is reprogramming old beliefs. It seems to be a common theme this week, possibly the Mercury Retrograde has an influence. It was agreed that sometimes in this spiritual journey we experience life problems where our old thinking and beliefs are just not working any more and change can be painful causing us to feel we are not on our path anymore, yet this is the time we could be going through precisely what we need to experience to make the incredible changes that we need to allow more joy and peace in our lives. This is when we need to trust the process, trust the universe, trust our Higher Power, whatever that might be, to guide us and love us through these difficult times. Eventually we begin to realize that when these times befall us, we let go of our need to control and relax into the change and know that all is well. Hope everyone has a wonderful peaceful day. Namaste.
Remember, Every Wednesday at 6:30 PM at Barjon’s Books. I look forward to seeing you there.
