In this episode of Refuge Recovery, Noah Levine takes you on a journey through Buddhist principles, exploring how they can be applied to addiction recovery. With a blend of meditation and open dialogue, Noah engages with participants, addressing questions about Buddhism's teachings and their relevance to personal growth. The session kicks off with a guided mindfulness meditation, focusing on the breath and the concept of impermanence.
Noah encourages listeners to reflect on the interconnectedness of self-esteem and conceit, challenging the traditional notions of self-worth and ego. The episode dives into the intricate relationship between self-centredness and the Buddhist concept of 'not-self', providing a refreshing perspective on how these ideas can aid in overcoming addiction. Participants are invited to share their thoughts and queries, creating an interactive environment that fosters learning and introspection.
Visualisation techniques are discussed, with Noah illustrating how they can be used in mindfulness practices to deepen one's understanding of impermanence and compassion.
