Meeting in groups of two or more, we share experience, strength, and Sacred Touch. Aware that strength lies in defenselessness, we share our vulnerability. We do not judge, label, gossip, or give advice. We respect the confidentiality of all that is shared. When to speak is superfluous, we remain silent. Listening with the Heart, we touch, hug, dance, sing, laugh, cry, work, play, and breathe together. Gazing into each other’s eyes, we merge into Bliss.
We enter Relationship to heal ourselves and to support others in healing themselves. We commit to a life of reverence, humility, and rigorous honesty. When anything less than Love surfaces, we remember that the Wholeness of Relationship is more important than any issue. Keeping communication open, we recreate Relationship anew, fresh in the Perfection of the moment.
Our craving for approval and control takes us into the past or future where Love cannot be found. The Twelve Steps offer a way to dance in the Perfection of the moment if you are tired of feeling ''not enough,'' and would like to be happy; we invite you to join us in taking these steps:
2. We trust the miracle Love, as experienced through Sacred Touch, to heal the pain of separation.
3. Surrendering to the mystery of Life, we commit our will and our lives to the intuitive wisdom of the Heart.
4. We take a searching and courageous inventory of ourselves.
5. Choosing to release guilt, we tell the truth to a trusted person about everything we have done that is inconsistent with Love.
6. Choosing to manifest health, joy, and abundance, we live consciously in gratitude for the gift of Life.
7. Choosing to resonate with Unity, Freedom, and Bliss, we humbly celebrate Sacred Relationship with ourselves, one another, and all that is.
8. Choosing to heal our lives through forgiveness, we allow Love to replace blame.
9. We make direct amends to people from whom we have withheld Love, except when to do so would harm ourselves or others.
10. When suffering surfaces, we breathe consciously into our feelings, relax, and merge into the Perfection of the moment.
11. We seek through prayer, meditation, and Sacred Touch to expand our conscious contact with Love, asking only for inner guidance and the courage to take action.
12 Awakening spiritually as a result of these principles, we gratefully share The Vision of Benestrophe and teach Love by the way we live.
Sharing Benestrophe is Benestrophe!
No one among us has been able to maintain absolute adherence to these principles. The Twelve Steps guide us. By embracing the Steps of Benestrophe, we transform fear, greed, and separation into beauty, excellence, and completion. Through learning optimism, we develop the ability to see the good in everything. Discovering we are Perfect just being, rather than trying to be perfect, we love ourselves exactly as we are, and that’s enlightenment.
Our common welfare comes first. Individual and planetary healing emerges from the purity of Sacred Touch. Bčnestrophe groups are autonomous and self-supporting. We do not endorse or oppose causes. We are not allied with any nation, politics, religion, or institution. We remember our common purpose by reading aloud The Vision of Benestrophe at meetings. To protect our fellowship from the influence of our egos, we maintain anonymity with the media. Anonymity fosters humility, ever reminding us to place principle above personality, cooperation above competition, and to take our guidance from Love.
