Flowing with Tao: Buddy C.'s Take on Recovery and Water
If we can learn to respond like water in any situation, for me that situation resolves itself much more easily.
Imagine water, effortlessly navigating around obstacles, always finding its way. That's the essence of this episode from 'Sober Meditations' with Buddy C. Here, Buddy dives into the seventh 5-minute meditation in his 'Tao and Recovery' series, using the fluidity of water as a metaphor for the journey of alcohol recovery. As someone who has faced the struggle of addiction head-on, Buddy offers genuine and practical insights that resonate deeply.
He talks about how Taoism and the Tao Te Ching transformed his understanding of a 'Higher Power', making it more relatable and less intimidating. In this episode, you'll find encouragement to practice acceptance and let go of resistance, much like water does. Buddy also highlights the benefits of meditation and compassion as powerful tools for recovery. If you're looking for a moment of peace or a fresh perspective on your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
