We just respond when we see something happening. That's how I can be of use.
Ever felt like you're constantly trying to control everything in your life, especially during your recovery journey? Buddy C. knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Sober Meditations', he introduces the first 20-minute session in his 'Tao and Recovery' series. Buddy shares how Taoist philosophy and meditation have been instrumental in his own path to sobriety. He starts by breaking down the concept of a Higher Power, making it more approachable through the lens of Taoism.
Quotes from the Tao Te Ching are sprinkled throughout, offering wisdom on surrendering control and trusting the process. This is particularly helpful for anyone struggling with anxiety and uncertainty about the future. Throughout the episode, Buddy emphasizes the power of meditation. He guides listeners to find a comfortable spot, focus on their breath, and let their minds settle.
Gratitude also plays a key role; Buddy suggests using it to recognize that everything is unfolding as it should, even when it doesn't seem like it. Another major theme is letting go and becoming an observer in life. Instead of forcing things to happen, Buddy encourages allowing them to unfold naturally. He also touches on the importance of listening and responding rather than trying to control outcomes.
Buddy shares his own struggles with relapse and how meditation and Taoist principles have brought him peace. He invites listeners to try out the 'Tao and Recovery Meditation Series', available for free on the Sober Meditations app. Buddy's message is clear: find what works for you, whether it's meditation, therapy, or support groups. By listening to his Higher Power and responding to life's events, Buddy has found peace and purpose, a journey he hopes others will embark on too.
