What brings us into the present moment more than acceptance and surrender? These values that lie at the heart of 12-Step programs are also central to spiritual practices of mindfulness.
Can mindfulness and the Twelve Steps really go hand in hand? In this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas welcome George DuWors, a seasoned psychosomatic therapist, author, and trainer. George brings a fresh perspective on how the core values of the 12-Step program—acceptance and surrender—are also key elements of mindfulness practices.
He explains how actions like staying out of results, using slogans, and maintaining conscious contact with a constructive spiritual power can naturally lead to a more mindful way of living. George shares practical techniques, such as the body scan, to help listeners cultivate mindfulness in their daily lives. He also discusses the importance of sponsorship in developing a mindful approach to life and warns against the potential pitfalls of spiritual bypassing.
Whether you're on a recovery journey or simply curious about integrating mindfulness into your life, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
