Exploring the Spiritual Path of the 12 Steps
Step 5: Integrity
For this step we are encouraged to be in integrity with others…about ourselves. We’re reminded that sometimes we have a skewed view of reality. On this leg of the journey, we can admit the nature of our limitations and negative patterns to a trusted family member or friend, or to our Higher Self…with the intention of seeking forgiveness and/or understanding. By having a support system who will listen to us and tell us the truth along with maybe giving us quality advice, we gain valuable insight while moving further along on our path.
If this step feels intimidating, maybe we could start by expressing our limitations and patterns within the coloring of this month’s mandala. Feel free to color it as many times as you need.
If you are part of a 12-Step program, you’re welcome to share this post and mandala with whomever you feel would benefit.
Peace & Blessings,

About the 2025 Mandalas of the Month
Each month this year I will create and post a mandala to color as it relates to one of the 12 Steps of recovery…with a more metaphysical interpretation. Regardless of whether we have any addictions or not, let’s face it…we’re all in recovery from something. More importantly, we’re all needing/wanting to heal from our fears and limiting beliefs so that we can all live to and become our full potential.
This along with the “Mandalas of the Day/Week/Year”…tie into my overall theme for 2025: “Let There Be Peace”.
