You can't make joy happen in your meditation and too much craving for joy in your meditation will just create more suffering but sometimes when you're meditating it's incredible.
In this episode of Refuge Recovery, Noah Levine dives into the intricate topic of mindfulness as part of the Buddhist-oriented recovery program. Refuge Recovery is all about providing a non-theistic, systematic approach to treating and recovering from addiction, without requiring any previous knowledge of Buddhism. This episode, recorded during the monthly teacher-led talk, focuses on the seventh factor of the Eightfold Path—mindfulness—and breaks it down into four sections.
Noah's insights into the foundations of mindfulness, including mindfulness of the body, feelings, mind, and phenomena, offer a comprehensive guide to understanding how these practices can aid in addiction recovery. He touches on the five hindrances that often block our path to clarity and how being aware of them can help us overcome these obstacles. Noah also shares practical meditation instructions and reflections on how to apply these teachings in everyday life.
His candid approach and willingness to admit past oversights make this episode relatable and authentic. Whether you're new to Buddhism or have been practising for years, you'll find valuable nuggets of wisdom here. So, why not take a moment to explore how mindfulness can transform your recovery journey?
