Meditation simply invites us to participate in life as it is happening, not as it's going to happen next week, not as it's going to happen next month, but as it is happening right now.
Feeling overwhelmed by the idea of meditation? You're not alone. Many people in recovery shy away from it, thinking it's too complicated or mystical. In this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas welcome Tom Catton, a meditation practitioner since 1966 and in long-term recovery since 1971, to break down those barriers. Tom's approach is refreshingly straightforward, making meditation accessible to everyone, regardless of experience level.
Tom shares insights from his soon-to-be-published book, 'May I Sit With You: A Simple Approach to Meditation'. He explains how daily meditation can be a cornerstone for ongoing spiritual growth and recovery. According to Tom, meditation isn't about escaping reality; it's about engaging with life as it unfolds. This episode dispels common myths about meditation and offers practical tips for incorporating it into your daily routine. But that's not all.
The conversation also touches on the importance of service and how expanding your spiritual practice can enrich your recovery journey. Tom’s wisdom, combined with the empathetic guidance of Rev. Dan and Rev. Michelle, makes this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their spiritual practice in recovery. Whether you're new to meditation or looking to simplify your current practice, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
Tune in to discover how a simple, consistent meditation practice can bring peace and clarity to your recovery journey.
