In this episode of Wisdom of The Way, we have a beautiful, spontaneous and insightful meeting with Tommy Rosen, a renowned yoga and addiction recovery expert. We delve into the nature of addiction (which is not always what and how we think it is), and we understand it as often disconnection from self, others, and the world. Tommy shares his personal journey hitting rock bottom and his insights on finding recovery through openness, humility, and introspection – and how the yogic technology also provided him with the opportunity to re-establish the connection with himself, his life and to heal.
We discuss the importance of daily practice (Sadhana), compassion, and creating intentional communities for sustained growth. The episode also touches on the transformative power of pilgrimage and how integrating these profound experiences into daily life is crucial for continuous personal development. Tommy emphasizes the need for self-forgiveness and the courage to seek help before hitting rock bottom. This heartfelt discussion offers practical and compassionate approaches to living a fulfilling life and recovering from various forms of disconnection.
