More Than Just Words on a Page

"Recovery at the Sea" is more than just a theoretical guide. It provides a practical tool – a written record of the author's guided meditation series, originally available in audio and video format.

The Power of the Ocean

The book's title isn't simply a metaphor. Throughout the meditations, Tina guides the reader on a journey to the ocean – a vast, calming space that reflects the potential for serenity within each individual. The gentle sounds of waves lapping at the shore become the soundtrack to relaxation, creating a safe space for introspection and self-discovery.

A Step-by-Step Approach to Inner Peace

Each meditation in the series is meticulously crafted to lead the reader through a process of relaxation and reflection. Here's a glimpse into what you can expect:

Deep Relaxation Techniques: The journey begins with techniques designed to ease tension and quiet the mind. Visualization exercises and focused breathing can help melt away stress and create a sense of calm.

Connecting with the Ocean: Once relaxed, the reader is guided to imagine themselves at the seashore. The sound of the waves and the vastness of the ocean become anchors, fostering a sense of peace and grounding.

The 12-Step Journey: The core of each meditation delves into a specific step of the 12-step program. Through guided prompts and visualizations, readers explore the themes of honesty, surrender, and connection to a higher power. This allows for a deeper understanding and personal application of these crucial principles.

A Brighter Future: The meditation concludes with a focus on the future. Readers are encouraged to envision a life free from addiction, filled with purpose and joy. This positive reinforcement helps solidify the commitment to recovery.

Tina believes that recovery is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about personal growth and a spiritual awakening.  "Recovery at the Sea" goes beyond simply achieving sobriety. It aims to empower individuals to connect with a higher power, cultivate inner strength, and design a new and fulfilling way of life.
