Exploring the Spiritual Path of the 12 Steps

Step 12: Service

For our final step of this path, we are encouraged to share our experience and wisdom with others—to light the way for those who are seeking to deepen their connection to their higher power, actively contributing to the collective spiritual growth.

Since we’ve had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we are encouraged to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all that we do, which can include repeating these steps on a regular basis.

Essentially, our mission becomes practicing unconditional love every day. Loving and feeling compassion for ourselves and others helps us stay grounded. We show our appreciation of ourselves, others, and of life when we practice unconditional love.

I went to AI to ask how it would define “unconditional love”. Here’s the gist of it:

Unconditional love is a type of love that is given freely, without any conditions or expectations in return. It means loving someone for who they are, regardless of their actions or circumstances. This love is often associated with deep emotional connections, such as those found in familial relationships or close friendships. …

While unconditional love is often seen as positive, it is important to maintain healthy boundaries. Love should not enable harmful behaviors. Healthy unconditional love supports the other person while also ensuring that one’s own needs are respected.

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”.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
