What is Soul Recovery

The process of Soul Recovery started by inspiration from the 12 steps of AA and Al-Anon but expands beyond addiction to encompass the experience of being human and the desire for wholeness. Rev Rachel has learned from 12 step, psychology, spirituality, metaphysics and a wide range of spiritual and religious teachers as she develops this path.

Soul Recovery offers a spiritual path to a happy and healthy life, guiding individuals in transforming their perceptions and letting go of old, unhealthy beliefs and behaviors. It's important to note that these steps are not intended to replace the 12 steps in other programs, but rather offer an

additional level of awareness and understanding of

patterns in all areas of life.

The emphasis of Soul Recovery is on letting go of control, self-love, acceptance, compassion and forgiveness.

The path of Soul Recovery involves turning our attention inward and focusing on our own healing, recognizing our innate wholeness. It emphasizes the belief that nobody is fundamentally broken but may have lost connection with their Higher Self through the experiences and pain of life. Created by Rev Rachel Harrison, these steps provide a pathway to relinquishing control, cultivating a connection with and trust

in one's Higher Power, releasing old patterns

and beliefs, and ultimately

claiming a happy and healthy life through spirituality.

The Nine Steps of Soul Recovery

Step One

Admitted we are powerless over everything outside of ourselves. Recognizing our pain and suffering comes from our desire to control people, places and circumstances.

Step Two

Open to the awareness of a power greater than ourselves who can offer healing and sanity in our lives.

Step Three

Become willing to turn our lives over to the care and direction of a Higher Power of our understanding, trusting the unfolding of our lives to this loving source.

Step Four

Gently witness and review our past pain, fears, resentments and grievances with compassion and self reflection taking responsibility for our part of the story.

Step Five

Release the past through the experience of sharing with complete honesty with ourselves, our Higher Power and a trusted witness to recognize what we believed about ourselves and others in our lives.

Step Six

Recognize our patterns, shortcomings, defense mechanisms, character traits, and beliefs that have kept us from being our fullest and healthiest Self.

Step Seven

Release all that no longer serves us and realign with our Highest Self and claiming healthy patterns and

belief systems.

Step Eight

With empathy and compassion for ourselves and others become willing to forgive completely, clearing the way to healing ourselves and our relationships.

Step Nine

Choose to live a spiritual life each day with integrity, honesty, and love for ourselves and all those we come in contact with in all aspects of our life. Surrendering our will through prayer and meditation to the care of a Higher Power of our understanding, and choosing to be a light in the world.
