What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this episode of 'In The Circle', Tommy Rosen explores the role of meditation in recovery with guest Jen R. Jen, like many in recovery, struggled with the notion that meditation was beyond her reach due to a restless mind and body. Through engaging dialogue, Tommy and Jen discuss the transformative power of kriya practices—breathwork, movement, and mudras—that help shift energy and foster meditative states.
Jen's candid question about 'doing it right' opens up a conversation about the misconceptions surrounding meditation. Tommy shares how he learned to differentiate between his thoughts and his true self, revealing the profound impact of being a 'witness' to one's thoughts rather than identifying with them. This episode offers practical insights into establishing a morning routine that includes meditation as a tool for calming the mind and reconnecting with one's spirit.
Tommy passionately argues that meditation is not just a practice but a personal responsibility that aids in better behaviour and decision-making. The episode is a heartfelt reminder that recovery is about restoring choice and finding freedom from addiction through inner work. Are you ready to embrace meditation as part of your recovery journey?
