When we start to see things more clearly in that way, when we are able to drop in more directly into our experience, that's where inner wisdom- if you want to call it that an inner wisdom- can develop, because we're not so much at the mercy of external experience or, um, what other people think, or even cultural beliefs or values that, um, you know, that are sort of driving us.
Ever wondered how mindfulness can play a role in recovery? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', Mary Woods chats with Genevieve Traeger, a mindfulness-based stress reduction expert, to break it all down. Genevieve explains that mindfulness isn't just about sitting quietly and meditating; it's about being fully present in your body and mind. She emphasizes that mindfulness is a practice, not a philosophy, and it’s all about experiencing the present moment without judgment.
Genevieve dives into the roots of mindfulness in the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn and how it has become a cornerstone for many in recovery. She also touches on the fascinating concept of neuroplasticity, explaining how mindfulness can help rewire the brain and create new neural pathways. The conversation also covers the difference between proactive mindfulness and passive healthcare, stressing the importance of active engagement in the practice.
For those looking to find a mindfulness teacher, Genevieve offers practical advice on what to look for and questions to ask. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone interested in how mindfulness can aid in recovery, reduce stress, and cultivate self-compassion.
