But I'm finding that in my meditation I'm looking at it more like psychological surgery, if you will, more of a training of the monkey mind and that visualization of just knowing like, okay, this is my amygdala, fucking with me right now and being mindful that right now I might feel like I'm thinking clearly, but that part of my brain doesn't think it feels and it reacts, and the thought center is kind of just shut off.
In this episode of Refuge Recovery, Noah Levine dives deep into the Second Foundation of the program, shedding light on the roles of mindfulness and compassion in addiction recovery. Imagine being able to understand the feeling tones that accompany every thought and sensation in your body. Levine explains how this awareness can help break the cycle of reactive behaviors and foster a more mindful approach to life.
Through meditation, you can train your mind to discern desires and aversions, making it easier to navigate the challenges of recovery. Levine also touches on the concept of impermanence, encouraging listeners to let go of attachments that cause suffering. By embracing these Buddhist principles, you can find a path to healing not just for yourself but also for your community. If you're curious about how mindfulness and compassion can transform your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
