Spiritual Laws

Mark Houston Recovery Center residents are introduced to a set of Spiritual Laws which govern our world. Knowing how these timeless laws work enables us to use them for our highest good.

• Law of Consent.
        Giving others permission to help us eliminate self-delusion.



• Law of Caring
        If you don't care about yourself through your actions, the world cannot and will not care about you.



• Law of Cause and Effect.
        What I put out will return to me, ALWAYS.



• Law of Use
        If we don't use it we lose it.



• Law of Responsibility
        Our Higher Power will not do for us what we are supposed to do.



• Law of Substitution
        Turning away from negative self-talk.



• Law of Relaxation
        In all mental work be relaxed, gentle and unhurried.



• Law of Subconscious Activity
        As soon as our subconscious mind accepts an idea it will begin immediately to put it into effect, both good ideas and bad.



• Law of Practice
        Practice is the price of proficiency.



• Law of Forgiveness
        In your heart, and to all.



• Law of Growth
        What we think upon grows.



• Law of Intent
        Set our intent and watch it manifest in our life through action.

Over the course of their stay with us, we teach our residents how these Laws have shaped the life they are currently experiencing and show them how they can recreate their life in recovery.
