Michael Shaldone has over 7,000 hours in addiction counseling and is a Certified AOD Counselor. Using mindfulness, nature, nutrition and yoga as healing modalities, he teaches these in recovery from personal experience: “We can all be addicted in some way to something. Perhaps it’s chemicals. Perhaps it’s behaviors. Perhaps it’s judgements, resentments and lack of tolerance. Diving deep into self-love and acceptance provides freedom from this bondage. In the past, I considered myself a victim, which denied me the ability to see the blessings of my circumstances. Fully surrendering, healing myself through these modalities and ascending into new understanding has allowed me to pursue my purpose, my dharma.” We seek to discover, not “Why the addiction?”, but “Why the pain?” And then to address that pain through time tested modalities for healing and a more permanent solution to addiction...compassion, joy and self-love.
