Step Work

Clean-up meditation & follow-up

Sit somewhere peaceful or go for a walk for one hour. Have a pen and piece of paper with you.

Ask God to show you any people in your life, present or past, with whom you have unfinished business (any sense of dis-ease).

What is unfinished business?

A harmful left unamended. An apology left unmade. Gratitude left unexpressed. An obligation left unfulfilled. A wrong (fancied or real) of theirs left unforgiven.

Write down the names. When you’ve finished the meditation, take the list of names, and note down the appropriate action:

Make an amend.

Make an apology.

Express gratitude.

Fulfill an obligation.

Forgive a wrong.

Use the Steps Eight and Nine process to address the amends / apologies.

Use the forgiveness process from Step Four for the forgiveness of wrongs.

With the expression of gratitude / fulfillment of obligations: get to it.

When you have completed these, repeat the meditation.

When you can get through the hour without any new names coming up, you’re done.
