Welcome to another zoom meeting and podcast of 'Here's Tom with the Weather'...where we investigate the plethora of Higher powers that populate the vast universe of 12 step Recovery - where alcoholics riff out on step 3 and step 11... as prescribed by the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous who encourage us to find some kind of higher power – as long as it's not us...
We speak to people with all manner of higher powers - from those who are atheists, sufis, agnostics, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Followers of Islam, Hermetics, Paganists, NON-DUALITY...we leave no stone unturned...it’s our aim to promote understanding and open-mindedness so that alcoholics and addicts can find a higher power of their own - to stay sober and carry the message.
We promote tolerance and empathy for folks who have different spiritual practices than us. It's all about Live and Let Live. Please remember that this is not an AA meeting... it's just some people's version of the truth – whatever that may be. Sometimes we talk to seekers, to gurus and to people not necessarily in recovery ...
And today we're going to speak to...
Joe Baily, Practionioner, Early Pioneer, and advocate of what he's called "The 3-Principles of Psychology." Something that he claims removes the barriers to a spiritual awakening. He is the author of the 'The Serenity Principle: Finding Inner Peace in Recovery' as well as others, including his upcoming 'Thriving in the Eye of the Hurricane, Finding Your Innate Resilience in our Challenging Times' (see links added below) in his own words. "the 3-Principles of Psychology serve as an essential guide to a RESILIENT LIFE that includes: Happiness, Connection, The ability to prevent Stress & Burnout, A Sense of Purpose, Freedom from Addiction, Depression, and Anxiety.
Joseph’s work in the health-care field has included cultural change consultation to hospitals and health-care systems in Michigan (East Lansing) and North Memorial Hospital (Golden Valley, MN), where he taught the principles of resiliency to health-care providers at all levels. In 2002 he helped start the Inner Life of Healers Program at the Center for Spirituality and Healing at the University of Minnesota School of Medicine. In this pioneering program, he led seminars and retreats for doctors, nurses, and other health-care professionals on self-care, resilience, burnout prevention and vocational renewal.
