Can a spiritual practice really help in addiction recovery?

There are many benefits to the spiritual practice of Meditation. Chiefly it acts as the ideal relapse prevention tool as it connects you to you higher power and higher self.

As a former Monk I can confidently say that these are 10 good reasons to Meditate:
i. It will tend to get you out of your own self-focused ego awareness.
ii. It will open you help from other levels!
iii. It will relax, re-focus and naturally refresh you;
iv. It teaches grounding skills… centering you;
v. It lets you trust a process of emptying and letting go;
vi. It pushes you to take responsibility for your own spiritual growth by doing what you can… i.e. practicing meditation!
vii. It lets you go from being to doing;
viii. It gives a sense of serenity when used as common practice;
ix. It teaches frustration tolerance and self-discipline;
x. It increases self-acceptance… reducing stress levels.

If you need any advice or want to chat about the many significant benefits of meditation then please contact me.
