Listening to Your Inner Voice: Finding Joy in Recovery
It's just a way of experiencing or a description of an experience of life that can transcend any circumstances, any particulars.
Have you ever felt like your priorities were all out of whack, especially during the throes of addiction? Revs. Lonnie Vanderslice and Dan Beckett know that struggle all too well. In this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', they share their journey from chaos to clarity by tuning into their inner voice of conscience. Before recovery, many of us may have neglected our loved ones, underperformed at work, or ignored our health, all in the pursuit of feeding our addictions.
But recovery offers a chance to reset those priorities. Lonnie and Dan dive deep into how they learned to listen to that inner voice and consistently choose the next right thing. They discuss practical spiritual principles and techniques, like breathwork and meditation, that helped them achieve new levels of happiness and freedom. Lonnie opens up about her transformative experiences with firewalking and other spiritual practices that taught her to trust her innermost self.
Dan emphasizes the importance of pausing to quiet the mind, making space for new ideas that aren't just born from our own thoughts. Throughout the episode, both hosts stress the significance of practicing these techniques regularly to foster growth and recovery. They also touch on how living by inner guidance not only brings joy and freedom but also enables us to be present for others.
Lonnie shares how she uses her inner guidance to lead her church, creating an environment where people feel truly heard and appreciated. Dan highlights the necessity of taking action and trusting that inner guidance will lead the way, even when the path isn't easy. This episode is packed with practical tips and heartfelt insights for anyone in recovery or those wanting to deepen their spiritual journey.
