The superior knowledge is to know that it's all just empty space
Ever wondered how to blend the wisdom of Buddhism with the practical steps of addiction recovery? In this episode of The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast, Darren Littlejohn takes you on a thoughtful journey through the principles of 'Easy Does It Dharma' and the 'Practices of a Bodhisattva'. Littlejohn starts by unpacking the famous 12-step slogan 'Easy Does It', exploring how it applies to those who've battled their way out of addiction's grip.
He delves into the nuances of finding balance—how to ease up when life has always felt like a struggle, and how to avoid passivity that can harm more than help. Through the lens of Tibetan medicine and Western neuropsychology, Littlejohn discusses the interplay between mind and body, and how scientifically tested training methods can aid in recovery. He touches on the Four Noble Truths, offering a fresh perspective on suffering and resistance.
Listeners will gain insights into Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and how they intertwine with addiction. Littlejohn's engaging style makes complex topics accessible, and his emphasis on integrating Buddhist practices into daily life provides practical tools for emotional stability. By the end of the episode, you'll have a deeper understanding of how to cultivate compassion and awareness, blending ancient wisdom with modern science.
Whether you're new to recovery or looking to deepen your journey, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in for a mix of spirituality and science that aims to heal and inspire.
