05: Using Mindfulness to Overcome Addiction with Robert Cox

Mindfulness. It’s all the rage on the internet, but a lot of people haven’t a clue what it means when they see it. We all have a different image and set of expectations about mindfulness, but what actually is it, and how can it help those on the road to recovery? Is it just a fad, or will adopting a mindfulness practice really make a difference in the way we think?

Robert Cox is a Mindfulness Master, and he has experience and success stories to share with the “Addicted Mind” community this week. Robert is also the host of two podcasts, so he knows a thing or two about making something “heady” like Mindfulness easy to digest. Robert shares the evidence scientists have gathered for the brain transforming power of mindfulness, and then teaches you a few tricks to try it out on your own. 

• Robert defines Mindfulness based off of research. 
• The subtle difference between mindfulness and meditation. 
• Using mindfulness to build resistance to cravings. 
• The current mindfulness research for treatment in addiction and autism. 
• Changing brain chemistry through mindfulness. 
• We can break neuron connections and rewire them by catching it early.
