Listen "Liberation from Addictions"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to a special episode of the Soulful Practices Podcast, Soulful Conversations!
This week, Michelle is joined by Steven Washington—movement master, author, and recovery coach—for a heartfelt discussion on overcoming addictions and embracing a healthier, more mindful life.
In this episode, Steven shares his inspiring journey of addiction recovery and the powerful tools that helped him transform his life.
Together, they explore:
Steven’s personal story of addiction and recovery and the pivotal turning points that guided him toward healing.
The role of Qigong in recovery, and how Steven now teaches this ancient practice to help others release emotional and mental restrictions.
The breath as our most powerful tool, and how mindful breathing can regulate the body and open us to new possibilities.
Steven also shares a quote from his book, Recovering You: Soul Care and Mindful Movement for Overcoming Addictions:
“Breathing with awareness also allows us to be present for the moment we are living in…We are powerless in the past and the future, but we are powerful in the present…deep breathing is the doorway to this potential.”
As a special treat, Steven concludes the episode by leading a short mindful breath practice to help you center yourself and return to the present moment.
Join the conversation, share your insights, and connect with us on social media as we explore the liberating journey to recovery and mindfulness together!
