Don’t Try Harder, Resist Less
 
What do we do when we can’t do much about something, and we want to anyway?  Or we want something to happen right now! Tom talks about surrender...about throwing our burdens down.  He reminds us to resist less.  It is not a matter of trying harder. And we don’t have to fight so hard. In recovery, we experience a shifting of inner equilibrium. This does not come about from doing, but by relaxing and letting go. Tom talks to us about resisting less—in our own recovery, in trusting our 
feelings, in experiencing a Higher Power, and even during times of grief.
We talk about this being a spiritual program, but what does spiritual mean? Is it vague and theoretical….does it have anything to do with me? How do we know when something real is going on? Tom discusses these topics and guides us on an excellent meditation. There is much we cannot change, but there is much we can.  And we get to do it in a very new way. (09/14)
