We didn’t come on this planet to punch a clock, work nine to five. It’s about tasting life, experiences, companionship, and relationships.
In this engaging episode of Peji's Recovery Corner, host Pej welcomes Dean C., a breathwork facilitator and life coach, to discuss his inspiring journey of overcoming addiction through spiritual paths. Dean shares his upbringing in New Jersey, reflecting on the internal struggles he faced despite growing up in a supportive family environment. His candid narrative reveals the challenges he encountered with self-worth and how these struggles contributed to his journey towards addiction.
Dean's recovery is deeply rooted in the AA program and the 12-step process. He explains how he has integrated various spiritual modalities into his recovery, including breathwork, Reiki, yoga, sound baths, and meditation. These practices have significantly enhanced his spiritual growth and elevated his recovery program, allowing him to connect more deeply with the presence of God and the universe.
As a breathwork instructor, Dean describes the transformative power of breathwork in achieving a meditative state, particularly for those who struggle with traditional meditation techniques. He emphasizes the importance of quieting the mind to overcome the 'itty bitty shitty committee' that often plagues individuals in recovery. Dean's journey is not just about personal healing but also about being of service to others. He actively helps people inside and outside the recovery community to achieve better lives through spiritual practices.
His story is a testament to the idea that recovery is not merely about abstaining from substances but about embracing a holistic approach to life, filled with experiences, companionship, and spiritual connection. Listeners are encouraged to explore these spiritual modalities and consider how they might enhance their own recovery journeys.
Dean invites anyone interested in breathwork to reach out for a session, either in person or via Zoom, highlighting the accessibility of these practices to those seeking spiritual growth and healing.
