Unveiling the Unity of Mind and Spirit in Addiction Recovery with Dr. Amy Johnson
And letting go is a huge thing, and I posted something on my page about it. Just letting things come and go, as they naturally do. I heard this thing yesterday that George Pransky said about: um, our innate wisdom is like the soft flute in our other thinking, it's the brass band, and that is just what it feels like when we're present-minded.
Imagine finding a deeper understanding of addiction recovery by merging spirituality and psychology. In this thought-provoking episode of 'Addiction, Alcoholism & The 3 Principles', hosts Harry Derbitsky and Greg Suchy sit down with Dr. Amy Johnson to explore how these two realms can support those battling addiction. Dr.
Johnson, an expert in both fields, shares her insights on how the mind's workings and spiritual principles are interconnected, ultimately aiming to help individuals break free from their conditioned thinking and live more fully in the present moment. One key takeaway from the discussion is the idea that there is only one principle at play, rather than three separate ones.
Both psychological and spiritual insights aim to help people see through their conditioned thoughts, allowing them to experience life more fully. This episode dives into how understanding these principles can transform the recovery process, providing a fresh perspective that goes beyond mere techniques or strategies. Dr. Johnson emphasizes that the principles of addiction recovery aren't tied to any specific approach but can be applied universally, whether through psychology or spirituality.
The conversation also touches on the oneness and separation of these worlds, highlighting that both ultimately point to the same truth: our interconnectedness and the impact of our thoughts on our experiences. Throughout the episode, the importance of insight in the recovery journey is underscored. Rather than relying on external techniques, the principles offer a way to see through conditioned thinking and tap into innate wisdom.
This transformative insight can help individuals break free from addiction patterns and live more fully in the present moment. Listeners will find valuable lessons on present-mindedness and letting go. Dr. Johnson explains how our innate wisdom is always available but often obscured by our thoughts. By letting go of these thoughts and embracing the present moment, we can access this wisdom and enrich our lives.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in personal growth and transformation, offering a unique blend of psychological and spiritual insights to aid in addiction recovery.
