Awakening to Love’s Melody: Addiction, Resistance, and Radical Recovery with Greg Vorst & Michael Nolan of Embodied Recovery
In this transformative episode of Sacred Harmony, Greg Vorst and Michael Nolan of Embodied Recovery share a deeply integrative approach to healing—where ancient Sundo practice meets modern recovery psychology. Together, we explore how addiction and resistance are not enemies but portals to awakening, and how the “melody” of love is always present, even when drowned out by ego, fear, or life’s noise. They reveal why recovery is less about “fixing” and more about undoing resistance, embodying presence, and reconnecting to a steady inner rhythm. From breathwork that rewires the nervous system to reframing addiction as a spiritual invitation, this conversation offers practical and soulful tools for anyone seeking peace, clarity, and a deeper connection to self.
About the Guests:
Greg Vorst and Michael Nolan are the co-founders of Embodied Recovery, a program that blends psychotherapy, Twelve Step recovery principles, and the ancient Korean practice of Sundo. Their work focuses on integrating mind, body, and spirit through breathwork, emotional awareness, and the radical acceptance of love’s presence.
Key Takeaways:
The “melody” is a metaphor for the constant presence of love—ever accessible but often drowned out by inner noise, judgment, and ego-driven narratives.
Addiction, when reframed as a portal, becomes a catalyst for spiritual awakening, self-acceptance, and profound transformation.
Resistance to love often shows up as self-preoccupation, rigid control, and embodied tension; undoing it requires both psychological and somatic practices.
Breathwork, particularly lower diaphragmatic breathing, is foundational for emotional regulation, serotonin production, and reconnecting with inner stability.
Healthy boundaries differ from fear-based control—they are self-sustaining, rooted in clarity about personal needs, and free of manipulation.
Integrating ancient wisdom (Sundo, Taoism, Buddhism) with modern recovery methods creates a holistic path to lasting change.
True openness often requires emotionally corrective experiences that rebuild trust and dismantle protective armoring.
