A couple of weeks ago part of the meditation was on compassion and it inspired me to do one where the focus was only on compassion. I hope you enjoy this effort and have a wonderful day!

This is part one of a two-part series where we talk to three couples about their experiences in trying to get and stay clean and sober at the same time. They discuss the ups and downs, the challenges and where they are today. I really appreciate the honesty and vulnerability that everyone brought to the table for this discussion and I hope that our…

Though this discussion may seem a little lighthearted at times, I can assure you that we both take the topic very seriously. We both have keen awareness of the fact that we are battling eating disorders in addition to substance abuse disorder. That neither is an illness to be taken lightly as both endanger the longevity and overall quality of your …

This is a great meditation for those just starting out, but it has something to offer anybody that struggles with stress or anxiety. It is all about accessing and calming the Vagus Nerve through slow and consistent breath work. Enjoy!על ידי Rich Gilpin

It seems that many of us reflect on some good times and bad times, but I had some serious connections both personally and professionally to the “old me” that really created some …

In this episode we spend an hour discussing prayer. What it looks like in our lives. Some of the things that we get out of it. Why we think it is important. And some tips for those that may just be starting out. For me this was a tough subject when I first approached sobriety. I thought I had walked away from having God or a Higher Power in my life…

It is a great way to start your day, but it would certainly work just as well in the middle of your day or at the end. We hope you enjoy spending your time with us on this one.על ידי Rich Gilpin

I find all three (in five minute intervals for this effort) of these methods to be effective ways to find my center. I hope you enjoy the experience!…
