Healing Through Buddhist Wisdom: The 12-Step Approach to Addiction Recovery

You know, the whole hostile takeover of the country, the craziness, the tweets, the tweets, the elections, the insurrection. But let's pick up where we left off back in April of this again, we continue the practices of a bodhisattva: the suffering of the lower realms.
Imagine a recovery journey that goes beyond just quitting addictive behaviors and dives deep into emotional and spiritual healing. That's what you'll find in this episode of 'The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast'. Host Darren Littlejohn picks up from where he left off in April 2020, diving into the 37 Compassion Practices of a Bodhisattva. This time, he focuses on Practice #8, offering a fresh perspective on how to handle disturbing emotions—a topic particularly relevant for those grappling with addiction.
Darren reads from 'Advice from the Lotus Born', shedding light on how Buddhist teachings can help manage and transform these challenging feelings. Alongside this, he shares exciting news about his new book, 'Compassionate Recovery: Mindful Healing for Trauma and Addictions'. This book promises to be a treasure trove of scientifically-backed methods rooted in Tibetan Buddhism and Yoga, aimed at addressing the root causes of addiction and trauma.
Listeners will also hear about the 'Books for Addicts' program, a charitable initiative that provides books to prison inmates, offering them a chance at recovery and self-improvement. Whether you're on your own recovery path or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tools to foster emotional stability and compassionate healing.
