Sitting in Pictures, a Hopi Tradition for Recovery Meditation based on the words of the Elders

SITTING in PICTURES: Vision Meditations for Addiction Recovery

Meditate by visualizing and manifesting your recovery: more spirituality and less reading.

This unique addiction recovery meditation book is based on the Hopi tradition of "sitting in pictures." Each page pairs a core 12-Step principle with the grounded wisdom of an Elder, offering 280 visual meditations drawn from spiritual traditions of many peoples of the Earth.

Organized by the seasons (Summer Solstice, Harvest Time, Winter Solstice, Spring Equinox) following the natural rhythms of the Maya Tzolkin rather than the Gregorian calendar. No page numbers — let Spirit guide you. Open randomly or journey through all 280 days and begin again.

Perfect for AA sponsors, treatment professionals working with Indigenous and tribal communities, and anyone seeking a culturally respectful path that honors both the Red Road and 12-Step recovery.

Illustrated by Christine Sundly of the Menominee Nation. The digital PDF includes many illustrations in full color (the Amazon paperback is black & white).

Readers on Amazon have given this book 4.6 out of 5 stars.
