Ever wondered how spirituality can play a role in addiction recovery? This episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages' brings you the remarkable story of Jiva G, the creator of the Bhakti Recovery movement. Growing up in New York's punk rock scene, Jiva faced her own battles with addiction. But her journey didn't end there; it took a transformative turn toward spirituality and recovery.
Mike and Nat sit down with Jiva to explore how she blended the principles of Bhakti Yoga with the traditional 12-step approach to create a unique recovery program. Bhakti Recovery emphasizes the power of devotion and love, encouraging individuals to cultivate a personal relationship with god Krishna as a cornerstone for sobriety. In this heartfelt conversation, Jiva opens up about her experiences, shedding light on the highs and lows of her journey.
She discusses how the teachings from the Bhagavad Gita, particularly Arjuna's journey, mirror the path to recovery. But it's not all smooth sailing; maintaining devotion in the Bhakti community comes with its own set of challenges and high expectations. Whether you're curious about alternative recovery methods or looking for inspiration on your own sobriety journey, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the role of spirituality in overcoming addiction.
Tune in to hear how Jiva turned her life around and how you can find strength in spiritual transformation.
