Today I listened to an amazing new type of music for meditation. Its native American flute music by R. Carlos Nakai. The album is called “Earth Spirit.” It made me feel like I was in a massage studio awaiting my massage therapy to begin. I was listening because I needed an alternative to yoga today. I’m super sore but didn’t want to skip getting my mat out today for fear that it would break the habit I’m building.

Yoga has been the single most effective therapy for my chronic back pain. I have faith that it will help me like it always has. Having faith in something means nothing unless I act like it—that means I get on my yoga mat every day. Having faith in my sobriety program and acting like it means that I go to meetings every day. Having faith in a higher power, whatever that means in my life, means that I’m not self-centered in my behavior.

The first leap I’ve had to make is to believe that something outside of me can help me or may know better than me. The next leap is to act like I believe it—do the next right thing even when I don’t want to and don’t feel like it. Believing must inspire action to have any impact on my life.
