In this episode of the Refuge Recovery podcast, Noah Levine takes you on a journey through the third foundation of mindfulness. If you've been curious about how Buddhist principles can aid in addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen.

He breaks down the process into two parts: the arising and passing of thoughts, and identifying the content of those thoughts.
It's a fascinating dive into how our minds work and how we can learn to observe without getting caught up in the drama. Noah also shares his personal experiences and insights on how mindfulness has helped him and others in their recovery journeys.

You'll also hear from participants who share their struggles and successes, making the episode feel like a supportive community gathering.
So, if you're looking to deepen your understanding of mindfulness and its role in recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips. Tune in to learn how to observe your mind, recognise unreliable thoughts, and develop a more peaceful relationship with your inner world.
