“Meditation begins with a call that awakens us out of the coma of self- preoccupation. We are called, we are chosen. Meditation is our response to that call from the deepest center of our awakened consciousness….by letting go in meditation we learn how to love” Moment of Christ - John Main, O.S.B. |
We are a group of men and women from 12 step programs, following the teachings
of John Main and The World Community for Christian Meditation. We are not a
replacement for any 12 step program but we are here to share this ancient path of
contemplative prayer as a way to practice the 11th Step. We are available to
those looking for a way to deepen their faith and to support those already
practicing Christian meditation.

“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.”

“Perhaps one of the greatest rewards of meditation and prayer is the sense of
belonging that comes to us. We no longer live in a completely hostile world. We
are no longer lost and frightened and purposeless. The moment we catch even a
glimpse of God’s will, the moment we begin to see truth, justice, and love as the
real and eternal things in life, we are no longer deeply disturbed by all the
seeming evidence to the contrary that surrounds us in purely human affairs. We
know that when we turn to Him, all will be well with us, here and hereafter.”
This web site is intended to provide an opportunity for people in 12 Step recovery
to connect with a support system for meditation. We honor the traditions of 12
Step recovery. Anonymity, the spiritual foundation of our recovery, reminds us to
put principles before personalities. We therefore maintain anonymity at the level
of press, radio, films, and digital media, such as the Internet, and we encourage
the principle of attraction rather than promotion in our public relations efforts. If
you would like to present an introductory workshop for Christian Meditation As
An 11th Step Practice, we can help.
