Welcome to Meditation Mountain and this guided meditation for addiction. I invite you to get into a relaxing position and to shut your eyes for this guided meditation, get comfortable and breathe deeply. In and out as you fall into a deep meditative state. As you breathe in, your mind relaxes and clears. No thoughts coming in. When you breathe out, your body settles, and all discomfort and tension disappear. Give yourself permission to relax and get comfortable, letting your body and mind rest.

So you may do this mindfulness. for the benefit of your addiction. Know that you are in a safe place and that your mind is more powerful than you think. Each breath brings you deeper and deeper into relaxation, like sinking slowly and safely into the water, break through the choppy surface and delve deep into the calm waters underneath.
