Working with Desire and Addictions
Desire is intrinsic to our aliveness, yet when we have unmet needs, it can possess us. These resources explore how to relax open the grip of wanting and heal the suffering of addiction. You will learn how to bring mindfulness and compassion to the roots of desire, and be carried home to open loving presence.
For us addicts, recovery is more than just taking a pill or maybe getting a shot. Recovery is also about the spirit, about dealing with that hole in the soul.
