meditating can be simplified:
turn off the radio. i can be meditating while rding in the car,working in the yard,cutting the lawn......
praying is talking meditating is listening.
step 11 is laid out pretty simply in the bb and does mention throughout the day.
HOWEVER
something i read:
I also mean having to make my amends
the steps are in order for a reason. there are 10 steps before 11.
what does step 12 say?
having had a spiritual awakening as a result of the stepS.....
step 11 promises,which occur somewhere after the previous 10 steps:
What used to be the hunch or the occasional inspiration gradually becomes a working part of the mind. Being still inexperienced and having just made conscious contact with God, it is not probable that we are going to be inspired at all times. We might pay for this presumption in all sorts of absurd actions and ideas. Nevertheless, we find that our thinking will, as time passes, be more and more on the plane of inspiration. We come to rely upon it.
We alcoholics are undisciplined. So we let God discipline us in the simple way we have just outlined.
trudging sucks,but always a great return IF we work for it.
