Summary

Today’s Life Question of the Week asks, how can one move on from feeling regret for their past actions that have hurt others as they now work on trying to embody their best self.

Next, Michael sits down with Tommy Rosen. Tommy is an internationally renowned yoga teacher, meditation instructor, addiction recovery expert, and founder of Recovery 2.0, a global organization dedicated to inspiring and uniting people in recovery from addiction through the practice of yoga and meditation so that they can heal and thrive. He is also the author of the widely-acclaimed book, Recovery 2.0: Move Beyond Addiction and Upgrade Your Life, and host of In The Circle podcast.

In this personal and insightful conversation, Michael and Tommy discuss:

How Tommy’s anxiety-ridden childhood led to his drug abuse and addiction, and the ways in which the Yogic path and practice ultimately freed him
What’s at the root of all addictions
Why we live in low-grade anxiety without even realizing it, and how to shift out of that
Breaking family patterns and the patterns of conditioning that limit us
The genius of the 12-Step Program and that the goal of recovery is not just abstinence from the substance or behavior, but complete emotional and spiritual freedom
Tommy’s Recovery 2.0 Life Beyond Addiction programs—and so much more!

0:00.0	People feel that addiction is related to your genetics. There's a lot of people in your family
0:06.1	who are having struggle with alcohol, for example, you must have the gene or some gene. And I don't
0:13.3	see it that way. What I'm understanding is that people behave the way that they're trained to behave.
0:23.3	So I believe that we trained ourselves into addiction.
0:26.8	And I believe that we can train ourselves out.
0:29.5	Peace and Rich's blessings.
0:30.7	I am Michael B. Beck with the host of Take Back Your Mind. Listen, listen, listen. Ooh! Easy, easy,
0:39.3	as we're listed up into the spirit of all me.

1:54.0	an instrument of inspiration, instrument of beauty and love,
1:57.0	rather than simply the repository place by which other people's thoughts and opinions
2:04.6	and points of view, even your government, can be planted and grow into possibly weeds
2:12.6	of discontent and separation. Welcome back to take back your mind. After the life question of the
2:19.3	week, I get to have a conversation with Tommy Rosen, a good friend, a great yoga teacher,
