Meditation is important in sobriety, because all those things that are coming up and that are going to be coming up, you're going to want to repress or you're going to want to push that away, or I don't want to think about that- and you're not going to have a way to release.
Ever wondered how meditation can play a role in your sobriety journey? Dillan and Aubrey are here to share their experiences and insights on this very topic. In this episode of 'The Sober Gay', the duo dives into the practice of meditation, exploring its benefits for those seeking a sober life. Dillan kicks things off by explaining that meditation isn't about sitting with your thoughts but letting them go.
He talks about how this practice helps you stay in the present moment and become more self-aware. Aubrey adds her perspective, noting that in our constantly stimulated society, meditation offers a rare chance to just be with yourself, which can be both challenging and rewarding. They discuss various meditation techniques, like focusing on your breath or using guided meditations. They also touch on dealing with uncomfortable thoughts and emotions that might arise during the practice.
Dillan emphasizes the importance of not pushing these thoughts away but releasing them through meditation. Another key point they discuss is the 'power to pause'. This concept involves taking a moment to reflect before reacting to situations, helping you break old habits and make better choices. Aubrey shares her personal experience, mentioning that while she doesn't meditate daily, she turns to it when needed, using bells to bring her back to the present moment.
Dillan also highlights how meditation can manifest positive changes in your life, from avoiding accidents to boosting confidence in social settings. They wrap up by stressing the importance of meditation in sobriety, encouraging listeners to try it out and see the benefits for themselves. Plus, there's a fun invitation to join them on Mars for their first Sober Gay Meetup!
Tune in for a mix of practical advice and personal stories that might just inspire you to start your own meditation practice.
