Download or read book Spirit Recovery Medicine Bag written by Lee McCormick and published by Health Communications, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feeling limited by circumstances, substances, or behaviors often leads to the simple, yet profound question, "Is this all there is?" This question is an opportunity to rediscover one's truth and live life more fully and authentically. Spirit Recovery Medicine Bag offers readers a path to finding their personal answer to this question in an engaging two-part format. In Part One, readers will join Lee McCormick as he reflects on his personal journey of recovery and transformation—a journey that initiated him into a life of helping others recover their own sense of self and purpose. Part Two is a medicine bag of healing practices designed to guide readers in developing self-awareness and awakening their sense of power-specifically the power of choice rooted in personal values and commitment to living those values. Covering a variety of topics addressing spirituality, awareness, and consciousness, the authors pose questions for reflection and self-investigation along the way. Spirit Recovery Medicine Bag is not a negation of Twelve-Step recovery, but a tool for expanding awareness and increasing involvement regardless of the path one is walking. In Twelve-Step language, it builds on Step 12's direction to practice these principles in all one's affairs. The authors believe that the inner journey to one's truth and the creative expression of that truth make for a good definition of spirituality, and they offer readers a very real message of the possibility of living "happy, joyous, and free" through spirit recovery.
Download or read book The Spirit Recovery Meditation Journal written by Lee McCormick and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirit recovery is about reclaiming your authenticity: unraveling the matrix of who you believe you are, while finding the willingness to consider other points of view—perspectives other than the one that you currently have. The individual meditations in this special recovery journal are intended to inspire and challenge the reader. The intention of each meditation is to help readers clear their minds and allow them to express themselves through the journaling process. The author suggests that readers review a meditation first thing in the morning and immediately give themselves the gift of allowing whatever comes up as a result of the reading to flow onto the accompanying journal pages. The contents of the meditations take the traditions of the recovery clichés and reframe them to allow readers to expand their point of view. Key Features Foreword by Don Miguel Ruiz, New York Times best-selling author of The Four Agreements. Ninety meditations can be used in conjunction with recovery of any kind. A journal page follows each meditation for readers to explore their own feelings and thoughts about the meditations.

Download or read book Preserving the Sacred written by Michael Angel and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2002-10-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Midewiwin is the traditional religious belief system central to the world view of Ojibwa in Canada and the US. It is a highly complex and rich series of sacred teachings and narratives whose preservation enabled the Ojibwa to withstand severe challenges to their entire social fabric throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. It remains an important living and spiritual tradition for many Aboriginal people today.The rituals of the Midewiwin were observed by many 19th century Euro-Americans, most of whom approached these ceremonies with hostility and suspicion. As a result, although there were many accounts of the Midewiwin published in the 19th century, they were often riddled with misinterpretations and inaccuracies.Historian Michael Angel compares the early texts written about the Midewiwin, and identifies major, common misconceptions in these accounts. In his explanation of the historical role played by the Midewiwin, he provides alternative viewpoints and explanations of the significance of the ceremonies, while respecting the sacred and symbolic nature of the Midewiwin rituals, songs, and scrolls.
