In this episode of In the Circle, I explore the theme of moving beyond addiction and thriving in all aspects of life. Addiction is a universal human experience, and everyone is on the spectrum of this journey in some way.  By using the practice of yoga and meditation, we find ourselves able to move from a state of darkness and addiction toward light, freedom, and joy—true contentment involves a life free from cravings, compulsions, and complaints. It is impossible to experience true gratitude while harboring these things, and it has been said that a grateful addict never relapses. We need to evolve from being the victims of our lives to being the architects of our destiny, actively shaping our experiences with awareness, responsibility, and empowered choice.  Tommy discussesCelebrating light in the darknessWhy you cannot complain and experience gratitude at the same timeThe power of SantoshaHow to stop living from craving to cravingThe power of mantra and mindfulness in addiction recovery

In this episode of In the Circle, we’re joined by Dorcus, who brings us an incredibly vital inquiry: How Can I Navigate Relapse Without Fear Or Shame? This normal and stigmatized phenomenon is part of most individuals' recovery journeys. We explore the traditional 12-step method that requires starting over on day one post-relapse. While this method emphasizes the importance of recognizing milestones in recovery, it can also lead to feelings of shame and guilt, which may prevent people from re-engaging with the support they need. This conversation is crucial for anyone looking to navigate the ups and downs of recovery and to reach a higher consciousness or awakening through their journey. Tommy discussesAm I broken if I relapse?Why you need a community and support systemRecovery is an evolutionary pathThe protocol to follow after a relapseHow yoga and breathwork can help you on your path of discovery

65. How Can I Navigate Relapse Without Fear Or Shame?

In this episode of In the Circle, we're honored to have Mark join us from Northern England, bringing a profound topic that touches the core of many recovery journeys: self-forgiveness and building genuine self-confidence. Mark inquires: How can I learn to forgive myself and be confident in my self-worth? For those of us in recovery, particularly during the early stages, the act of forgiving ourselves can seem monumental. This inability to forgive often leaves us trapped in a cycle of persistent low self-esteem. Understanding and resolving these feelings is a crucial step on the path to recovery. It's an essential conversation for anyone struggling with guilt or shame and for those seeking insight into their journey towards healing.  Tommy discussesHow can I forgive myself?Finding connection and love within yourself“Borrowing” confidence from those who love youThe frequency of gambling addictionLiving life from the inside, out

63. Financial Sobriety: Why Can’t I Stop Overspending?

In this episode of In the Circle, I’m so delighted to field an inquiry from Megan. She asks: How can I manage my newfound energy and excitement after getting sober from cannabis? So many people don't understand the nuances of what cannabis does, and how it affects our emotional state and our brain nor do they understand the nuances of recovering from cannabis and the kinds of things that one will experience on their path of recovery from that particular substance. Megan is experiencing a burst of energy now that she is on the path of recovery. We're going to get into an exploration of recovery from cannabis addiction and how to manage an awakening of energy that comes from detoxing from substances. Tommy discussesManaging your energy during an awakeningIs cannabis addictive?How to shift your emotional stateHow recovery opens up a whole new worldUpgrading your life from the spiritual perspective

62. How Can I Manage My Newfound Energy After Getting Sober from Cannabis?

In this episode of In the Circle, we’re joined by Reno who brings us an extremely thought-provoking question. He inquires: How is Modern Technology Affecting People In Recovery? Modern technology and social media, while useful and integrated into our daily lives, can distract us from what truly matters - being present, being conscious, and accessing your higher self. There's a growing need for us to navigate these spaces more consciously, striving for real connection over digital interaction. It's about finding balance and ensuring that our digital habits don't detract from real-world experiences and relationships. Tommy discussesIs technology destroying our concentration?Are we addicted to our cell phones?How social media fuels divisionWhy we need to connect more in personThe need to be in the world, but not of it
