Zen Wisdom for Recovery: Sensei Elliston on Meditation and the Tao Te Ching

I know from personal experience that I started seeing benefits from the first day I started meditating.
Ever wondered how ancient wisdom can guide modern recovery? In this episode, Sensei Elliston from the Soto Zen Center in Atlanta dives into the second verse of the Tao Te Ching. He shares his thoughts on how daily meditation can transform your life, both in seen and unseen ways. From his first day of meditating, Sensei experienced profound benefits, and he believes a consistent practice can support every aspect of your life.
Throughout the conversation, Sensei weaves in Zen philosophy, discussing the balance between being and non-being and how meditation relates to action. He emphasizes humility, noting that it takes a sense of humor and humility to see the futility in trying to control everything. Instead, he suggests making an effort without aiming at it, a key aspect of Zen meditation. This episode offers valuable insights into how meditation can be a powerful tool for personal growth and recovery.
If you're curious about how ancient teachings can apply to your journey, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and discover how embracing a daily meditation practice can lead to positive changes in your life.
