Breathing Exercises

Breathing exercises are becoming more and more popular to aid in drug and alcohol recovery. This holistic approach helps with coping skills, anxiety, and living in the present.

1. Stimulating Breath: When you are completely overwhelmed – your breathing reacts to your mood. ~ With mouth closed and jaw relaxed ~ Take quick breaths in and out of your nose
2. Breath Counting: This exercise helps to slow your thoughts down, focus on one thing at a time, and lets you be aware of when your mind wanders so you can learn to bring it back to the present. ~ count “one” as you exhale, then two and so on up to “five.”
3. Kapalabhati: Many people in addiction treatment are outraged and frustrated. This exercise will help alleviate those emotions. ~ Start with a long slow inhale, followed by a quick powerful exhale from your lower diaphragm

Way To Peace

BY TRUDY NELSON

I have met the enemy, the enemy is me;

The prideful, haughty spirit, Keeps me from being free.

The one who doesn’t listen, To the still, calm, Voice within.

The one whose willful spirit, Turns my soul to self and sin.

That child who struggles vainly, For recognition and for love,

But fails to heed, appropriately, The Voice from up above.

The self willed, haughty soul haughty soul, Who seeks to have its way,

Failing to find serenity, Not staying in today.

The one whose acceptance level, for people, places, things,

Chases serenity and peace, Away with chaos’ darkened wing.

Yet, if I but quietly listen, Give heed to His command,

I find the peace and acceptance, That my suffering core demands.

I need stay within the present, Accept His simple way,

Living in a loving stance, Living in the now, today.

What are the benefits of Mindfulness Meditation?

Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we are doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.
