Strengthening Recovery with Meditation: Tips from Jennifer Matesa

Just like exercise, nutrition and sleep, though, meditation has been an on and off practice for me. When I practice it, I get better at it. When I stop, the muscle weakens. But practice built on good early instruction develops muscle memory and healing what breton would call neural networks and neuroplasticity.
Ever thought about how meditation could be your secret weapon in recovery? In this episode of 'Recovery Road', host William C Moyers sits down with Jennifer Matesa, the author of *The Recovering Body: Physical and Spiritual Fitness for Living Clean and Sober*. Together, they explore how meditation can play a pivotal role in both physical and spiritual recovery. Jennifer shares her own journey and offers practical advice on incorporating meditation into your daily routine.
Her insights help listeners understand that building a meditation habit is like training a muscle—it takes time, patience, and consistency. By integrating these practices, you can develop the neural pathways that support a healthier, sober life. Tune in to discover how meditation can help you find peace amidst the chaos and foster lasting change. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to enhance their recovery toolkit with mindfulness and meditation.
