HOW CAN LEARNING MEDITATION HELP YOU IN RECOVERY?
The benefits for each are so deeply personal. I find the greatest gift of mindfulness is an increase in empathy. I can tame my inner critic which gives me such peace when I need it the most. Mindfulness also embodies the concept of letting go and being present. It's about surrendering to the journey, there is no destination.
Mindfulness teaches us we have the ability to choose where we place our attention. The practice is then to keep it there. Now, remember, it is not about mastering the practice but rather about letting go.
Letting go of control and surrendering to what is.
With practice this improves our emotional regulation, reducing stress and anxiety and enhancing our awareness especially with impulse control and triggers. We find a recovery filled with connection, peace and purpose.
