Spiritual Laws

Benchmark 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 greatest 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.

    “Thank you for giving me the honest truth about myself and my disease. You gave me all the tools necessary to recovery from a hopeless state of existence. Thank you for all you have done for me -you were there for me at the darkest moment of my life and brought me back to the light. I love life and will keep this feeling. To you I am truly grateful.” -Lawrence R.
