"The divine is not in the knowing. The divine is in the being."
Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This episode of The Freeology Podcast, hosted by Jason Lyle, introduces a gritty practice for men in recovery to connect with the divine. Jason shares his personal struggle with trying to know God through conventional means like reading and attending church, only to find himself frustrated and empty. He presents an alternative approach: accessing God through 'being' rather than 'doing'.
Jason explores how cold water immersion can serve as a transformative practice, challenging listeners to embrace discomfort and find spiritual rebirth. He explains how the shock of cold water can trigger stress responses, temporarily shutting down the rational brain and allowing a deeper connection between mind and body. This practice is positioned as a way to expand one's tolerance for discomfort, ultimately leading to more mindful decision-making.
The episode also touches on the broader impact of such practices, envisioning a world where men engage in these rituals to restore their sense of honour and integrity. Jason invites listeners to join this movement, suggesting that widespread adoption could lead to societal changes like stronger marriages and healthier lifestyles. So, what if you took the plunge and embraced this gritty practice? Could it be the key to accessing a deeper spiritual connection?
Join Jason as he shares his journey and insights, offering a fresh perspective on recovery and spirituality.
