Day 07 – Body Scan (11 Min):
“For many of us, our addictions prevented us from being mindful. In fact, that was often the whole point: we used our substances and behaviors to avoid feeling, to avoid being aware, because being aware was painful. But by trying to avoid pain, we often created more suffering. We’re now making a different choice—to sit with the discomfort rather than pushing it away or trying to numb it.”
