- Chuang Tzu – The Flight of Lin Hui – The Extraordinary is Found in the Ordinary!
This story reminds us of the paradox of truth; what gives us peace and joy is not in what we thought would give us peace and joy. What we are looking for can be found in the last place we would think to look.

38 min - Chuang Tzu – The Empty Boat – Living in Emptiness!
The empty boat is a story that has been mused by many. Today we discuss how this story relates to recovery and how to apply these principles in our everyday lives.

57 min - Chuang Tzu – When The Shoe Fits – Another Example of Wu Wei!
This story brought out another discussion of wu wei – effortless effort. How free we become when we stop trying to control what we think keeps us from being free! Amazing how quickly our thoughts pass when we are no longer disturbed in some way.

31 min - Chuang Tzu – The Woodcarver – Surrendering Your Way to the Place of Rest!
Incredible discussion of how to surrender your way to that place of rest, that place of calmness and serenity as seen in the serenity prayer; God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

55 min - Chuang Tzu – The Fighting Cock – Learning How To Be Free of Fear!
Why do we fight? Are we fighting because we are afraid? "The chief activator of our defects has been self-centered fear – primarily fear that we would lose something we already possessed or would fail to get something we demanded." 12 X 12 Page 76. An excellent discussion of the tools we use to surrender fear.

51 min - Chuang Tzu – The Sacrificial Swine – The Achievement Trap!
Many of us fall for the idea that outer success will bring us the inner success we crave. This story reinforces the fact that true achievement comes from learning to live life in the moment, with no need for the approval of others.

49 min - Chuang Tzu – Wholeness – Resting in the Hidden Place!
Another story showing us the path of unlearning – resting in the eternal, hidden place of no-place. This story also brought out the dynamic of alcohol being a substitute for letting go in life and the role of anonymity in recovery. I really appreciate the great discussion!

58 min - Verse 10 Tao Te Ching Discussion with Sensei Elliston!
Sensei Michael Elliston and special guest Seigstsu Roger Cochran, aka Dr. Cochran, share their thoughts on the 10th verse of the Tao Te Ching from a Zen perspective. What does it mean to observe? What should we expect from our meditation practice? How do we begin our meditation practice? How long should we meditate? Just a few of the questions we discussed today.

1 hr 6 min - Chuang Tzu – Symphony of a Sea Bird – Acceptance!
"The road to hell is paved with good intentions" is a phrase we have heard often. When we refuse to accept what is, we try to fix and change people, places, and things into what we feel is best. Sometimes we take actions that are meant for good that end up being detrimental to ourselves or others.

About Tao of Our understanding Alcohol Recovery Podcast
From the publisher's feed
In this podcast, we discuss mystical works of literature, primarily Taoist text, and how they relate to alcohol recovery. Taoist Philosophy can be an excellent tool for embracing the idea of a "Higher Power." Nature offers all of the examples necessary for a concept of a source of all life, much different but yet very similar in many ways to more traditional religious thinking.
Here is a link to an online version of the Tao Te Ching; https://ttc.tasuki.org/display:Year:1972,1988,1996,2004/section:1
Thanks for checking out our podcast. If you listen and enjoy this podcast, please share with your friends in recovery!
Do you want to stop drinking? Does alcoholism or addiction run in your family? Are you considering how to get sober? Are you seriously thinking about sobriety for the first time being alcohol is controlling your life as never before?
