But once you get into that flow, um, and so you know for zen, you know, I, I kind of liked that, um, that order that it has, cause, I'm a pretty chaotic person.
Curious about how meditation can complement your recovery journey? In this engaging episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of) - The Podcast', hosts Billy and Jason welcome Dave (Ryūmon), a novice Zen priest, to discuss the many facets of meditation and its place in 12-step programs. They tackle questions that many beginners and seasoned meditators alike ponder: Is posture crucial? Can you meditate while standing or lying down? What should you focus on during meditation?
And yes, they even address the delicate topic of farting during Zen practice. Dave shares his personal experiences with various meditation techniques, including his favorite, yoga nidra, which involves lying flat on your back. He also sheds light on some of the common misconceptions and controversies surrounding Zen practice. One standout point from their conversation is the idea that meditation isn't confined to sitting still; it's about weaving mindfulness into your everyday life.
As Dave emphasizes, taking the practice off the cushion and being present in each moment is key. This episode offers a mix of humor, practical advice, and deep insights, making it a must-listen whether you're new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice. Tune in to explore how Zen meditation can enrich your recovery journey.
