Tonglen has been a powerful and relieving practice to help me stay present with loved ones who are suffering, such as the active addicts in my family and my mother. Loving kindness can become a way of life, a path to universal compassion, and it begins with ourselves.
Ever feel like your inner critic is running the show? Thérèse Jacobs-Stewart knows a thing or two about that. In this episode of 'Recovery Road', host William C Moyers dives into Jacobs-Stewart's book, *A Kinder Voice: Releasing Your Inner Critics with Mindfulness Slogans*. She introduces us to tonglen, a Tibetan breathing meditation that helps cultivate compassion.
This isn't just about feeling warm and fuzzy; it's about real, practical steps to quiet that nagging voice in your head and open up to love and kindness, both for yourself and others. Moyers and Jacobs-Stewart chat about how incorporating loving-kindness meditation into your daily life can help break negative thought patterns and improve your relationships. It's like giving your mind a much-needed hug.
So, if you're looking for ways to add a bit more kindness to your recovery journey, this episode might just be the gentle nudge you need.
