Soul Steps…Power Stepping to Recovery
                By Jyude Allbright

    Soul Steps offers a radically different view of addictions and the human experience. It pictures humanity so you can feel it from the higher dimensions of your own perfected self!

•    What if you really are a powerful being?
•    What if you came to earth to forget your power so you could remember it?
•    What if you NOW choose to use your power to free yourself from the addictions that no       longer nourish you?
 
     My intention in writing Soul Steps has been to expose the myth of personal powerlessness that has pervaded this planet for such a very long time.   This little reminder is a gift from my soul to YOU!  It was written for those of you who know deep within the very pulse of your being that you are powerful and always have been.  Like me, you may have been aware that you have often side stepped your power, given it away, or acted victim-like, but ultimately, you have known that you really had “the power!”
    
    You may, in addition, have suspected that you were never powerless over anything because you knew true power really came from your thoughts.  You were aware that no one controls your thoughts but you.  You were and always have been in charge, no matter what outside circumstances were happening in your life.

    Your addictions have been diversions to your divinity.  They have been an expression of your fear...of yourself and your magnificent power.  They never have been in control.  You only relinquished your power to them temporarily.  NOW you can re-claim your power over them with the next 12 steps to addiction healing and total release.
   
 1.    We admitted we were powerful beings--that we created our addictions so our lives                 appeared to be unmanageable.
 2.    Came to remember that a Power greater than ourselves could help us release our                     misperceptions about our own sanity.
 3.    Made a decision to once again return to our Source as we understand it and reconnect             with our soul’s desires.
 4.    Admitted we were afraid to take our own personal inventory but did so in a powerful             way.
 5.    Admitted to our Source, ourselves and others, the exact nature of our misperceptions.
 6.    Were entirely ready to allow ourselves with the help of our Source to release our                     misperceptions that we were in some way defective.
 7.    Humbly asked the Source to help us reconnect with our true power.
 8.    Made a list of all persons we thought we harmed, especially ourselves, and became                 willing to release those thoughts and be freed from old beliefs.
 9.    Made direct amends to anyone we believe we harmed.
10.   Continued to take personal inventory and made appropriate behavior changes as                      needed.
11.   Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with our                     Source, asking for our soul to be in charge.
12.    Having realized that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience, we carry                   this message of power to those with addictions that they may also wake up to their true          destiny.
