Meditation has been around for many thousands years and has some key in-built healing properties. Since addicts and alcoholics are desperately in need of both healing and a spiritual resource, meditation seems to be an ideal fit!
• Want a way to manage your moods?
• Do you want to learn a radical form of self-acceptance?
• Do you want to find a way to manage depression, stress and anxiety?
• Do you need a daily spiritual boost to get clean/sober or develop recovery?
• Do you suffer from co-dependency and want a simple tool to assist your recovery?
If any of the above are needed then please consider a suitable form of meditation:
[i.] A secularly acceptable form is mindfulness… it’s exceedingly easy to learn, and has numerous physical and emotional benefits… proven by research!
[ii.] If you are a Christian you might want to try the ancient method of sacred reading {lectio divina}… or a more contemporary version: centering prayer.
I’m not saying that recovery is simply a matter of an occasional practice of meditation… it takes daily practice! However, I have known many recovering persons to say that learning meditation was the most significant part of the recovery puzzle!
