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 a minimum of 90 days, we teach our residents how these Laws have created the life they are currently experiencing, and show them how they can recreate their life in recovery.
