Shinzen tells of how awareness gained through mindfulness meditation permanently shifted his experience - freeing him from an addiction. http://www.basicmindfulness.org

This is part of an interview Shinzen Young did with Stephanie Nash in August 2009.

The purpose of this interview was to 'get the scoop' on Shinzen - the man behind the techniques. See other segments being posted over next few weeks for some good stories.

(Editing graciously contributed by Bruce Malm.)

  • Mindfulness meditation has been invaluable in coping with the awful effects of benzodiazepine withdrawal, however this class of drugs is much, much more powerful than marijuana and it has taken a very long time to do so. But it has been very helpful nonetheless.

  • I too was a heavy pot smoker before my first Vipassana course. It's now over 5 years since I've smoked and I feel so much better for it.
