Step 4

Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves

About Step 4, from Tommy Rosen


Tommy Rosen presents Step 4 and how it is here that the work really begins. In writing down our resentments we realize how much of an impact this has had all throughout our lives. The practice of yoga reflects this through the saying "the issues are in your tissues". By doing our personal inventory through writing and by going through the personal "fact-finding mission" in yoga, we begin to better understand what is really going on in our lives.
