Harnessing the Law of Attraction: Darren Littlejohn's Insights on Buddhist Recovery
The karma that I have perpetuated- the ripening of the seeds due to the secondary conditions of the water, the soil, the sunrise, the fruits- are happening anyways.
Can the Law of Attraction really aid in addiction recovery? Darren Littlejohn thinks so. In this episode of The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast, he dives into how this concept aligns with Buddhist teachings to help those battling addictions. Darren starts by exploring the Buddhist understanding of suffering and its connection to addiction. He argues that addiction often arises from our inability to differentiate between pleasure and pain. For him, a successful practice means your life shouldn't feel like a constant struggle.
Enter the Law of Attraction. Darren explains how practices like meditation and gratitude journaling can help shift your mindset towards positivity and loving-kindness. He emphasizes the role of intention in karma, suggesting that our actions, when done with mindful intention, can bring about positive changes in our lives. Darren also gives a sneak peek into his upcoming yoga book and mentions free courses he plans to offer.
He's not looking to build an empire or become a guru; he simply wants to extend a helping hand to those in need. If you're curious about how to apply the Law of Attraction to your recovery journey, this episode is definitely worth your time.
