Mindfulness Meditation: The Key to Lasting, Peaceful Recovery
Written by Craig Rogers, Posted on , in Section Stress Relief
Troubled young adults often find that achieving a peaceful recovery isn’t always easy.
Yet, when the right therapeutic methods are implemented, struggling young adults find that their recovery process isn’t just simpler, it is lasting. This is particularly true in cases where adult depression and adult anxiety are strong obstacles blocking the road to recovery. So, how can a more peaceful recovery be achieved? Through mindfulness meditation.
Why Practice Mindfulness Meditation for Recovery?
Mindfulness meditation teaches struggling young adults to be present in the moment, in all things. Instead of seeking to change individuals, it provides a means of achieving a higher awareness of who an individual is, and how their actions and reactions affect others. In effect, it means “showing up” for your life in every circumstance, and accepting the good and the bad as a natural part of life. For this reason, those with adult depression and adult anxiety gradually become more open to change and awareness as a natural process that supports compassionate, peaceful action, rather than negative behaviors.

Does Mindfulness Meditation Really Work?
The effectiveness of mindful meditation is distinctly noted by one of the nation’s leading recovery centers, Red Mountain Sedona, who uses this type of therapy on a regular basis. According to an article published by this successful recovery center, mindfulness meditation can be just as helpful as cognitive behavioral therapy (“CBT”), and it has been proven through multiple studies. In addition, this therapeutic method is particularly helpful in cases where anxiety and depression are hindering peacefulness and recovery, and is an excellent means of alleviating psychological strain, as well as physical and emotional pain.
But why should struggling young adults consider mindfulness meditation?
