Finding Clarity: Insight Meditation and Compassion in Recovery

We can use the addiction mechanism to train ourselves into compassion, mindfulness, self-compassion, and this is a level of insight and awareness and mind training that really corresponds scientifically, but also corresponds to the dharma in a super, super cool way.
Ever wondered how insight meditation can transform your recovery journey? In this episode of 'The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast', Darren Littlejohn delves into the heart of Buddhist practices, focusing on the 29th of the 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva. Darren unpacks the often misunderstood concept of insight meditation, revealing its significance in both Buddhism and recovery. He discusses how these practices can enhance concentration and mindfulness, leading to a deeper understanding of oneself as a compassion-seeking individual in recovery.
With readings from Longchenpa, Darren offers a fresh perspective on using the mechanisms of addiction to cultivate compassion and self-awareness. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to integrate Buddhist principles into their recovery process.
