When we're drinking and using, we're a ball of resentment and anger, and disappointment and frustration, and that's why we drink. Awakening is a shift in consciousness in which thinking and awareness separate.
Ever wondered how your nervous system plays a role in sobriety? This episode of Recovery Elevator sheds light on just that. Hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen welcome Lane, a mindfulness and meditation teacher from San Francisco, who has been living alcohol-free since December 30, 1996. Lane opens up about her journey to sobriety and the significant role spirituality and community have played in her recovery. Paul kicks things off by discussing the importance of having a balanced nervous system.
He breaks down complex concepts into simple terms, making it easy for anyone to understand why this balance is crucial for staying sober. You'll learn how the autonomic nervous system affects your ability to relax and how you can cue the parasympathetic nervous system to stay calm and present. Lane's story is both inspiring and practical. She shares how hiking, good music, and dancing have become her go-to activities for maintaining a balanced life.
Her experiences in both Los Angeles and San Francisco highlight the importance of community in her recovery journey. Lane's insights are not just theoretical; they are lived experiences that offer hope and encouragement. This episode is perfect for anyone curious about the science behind sobriety or looking for practical tips to enhance their recovery journey.
Whether you're newly sober, supporting a loved one, or years into your alcohol-free life, Lane's story and Paul's insights offer valuable lessons on staying grounded and hopeful.
