Letting Go 10 Min Meditation 1 of 7 | Powerlessness Is a Strength Not a Weakness!

Powerlessness Is a Strength Not a Weakness! Meditation 1 of 7 Hi, I am Buddy C, and this is our first 10-minute meditation in our Letting Go series. As an alcoholic, learning to surrender and letting go is the essence of powerlessness in the first step. In this series, we are going to talk about a specific tool in each meditation that has helped me. Remember, this meditation series offers 5-minute, 10-minute, and 20-minute guided meditations. The tools remain the same, with longer meditations providing more time for reflection and shared experiences about each tool.
