Finding Calm in Chaos: Sharon Salzberg on Mindfulness and Meditation

I feel like, without knowing it, something like you know, the whole world went crazy about baking bread and like sourdough bread in particular- and I've made sourdough bread. And so I realized that in a life of travel, it's not just the travel, it's all the arrangements.
When life feels like it's spiraling out of control, finding a moment of peace can seem impossible. In this episode of The Beyond Addiction Show, Dr. Josh King sits down with mindfulness and meditation guru Sharon Salzberg to explore how these practices can help us navigate turbulent times. Sharon opens up about her own journey through the pandemic, sharing how her mindfulness routines have evolved and offering practical tips for integrating these practices into our daily lives.
From dealing with the initial shock of lockdowns to discovering moments of gratitude amidst chaos, Sharon's insights are both profound and accessible. She delves into the benefits of mindfulness, such as increased self-compassion and a deeper understanding of oneself, and explains how these tools can be especially helpful in managing grief and loss. As a special treat, the episode concludes with a guided meditation led by Sharon herself, providing listeners with a firsthand experience of her calming techniques.
Whether you're new to mindfulness or a seasoned practitioner, this conversation is packed with wisdom and practical advice to help you find your center in an uncertain world.
