Mindfully Non Drinking With Psychologist Simonette Vaja

In this episode, we explore the transformative power of mindfulness and meditation to support drinking less alcohol with Simonette Vaja, a trauma-informed psychologist and mindfulness teacher. Simonette introduces her ABCD model—Attention, Breathing, Compassion, and Detox—a practical framework for fostering emotional resilience and supporting an alcohol-free lifestyle. From enhancing decision-making to cultivating inner peace, her approach offers profound insights into how mindfulness can be a cornerstone in the journey to sobriety.  Simonette introduces us to techniques like vagus nerve breathing, which activates the body’s relaxation response, and guided meditations to nurture self-compassion and overcome challenges such as perfectionism and anxiety. By addressing not only physical detox but also mental and emotional renewal, her approach provides a holistic path toward personal growth and emotional healing.  This inspiring episode highlights the profound impact of practices like Loving-Kindness Meditation, encouraging listeners to embrace self-love and deepen their emotional connections. Whether you're navigating early recovery or seeking greater balance in life, Simonette’s insights offer a roadmap to a mindful, alcohol-free life. Join us to discover how mindfulness can transform your journey toward freedom and well-being.  LEARN MORE ABOUT SIMONETTE VAJA'S WORKWeb: https://www.artistryofwellbeing.com/Insight Timer: https://insighttimer.com/simonettevaja MEGWeb: https://www.meganwebb.com.au/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/meganwebbcoaching/ Unwined Bookclub: https://www.alcoholfreedom.com.au/unwinedbookclub ConnectAF group coaching: https://www.elizaparkinson.com/groupcoaching BELLAWeb: https://isabellaferguson.com.auInsta: @alcoholcounsellorisabellaBi-Yearly 6-Week Small Group Challenges: Learn more: https://www.isabellaferguson.com.au/feb-2025-challengeFree Do I Have A Drinking Problem 3 x Video Series: https://resources.isabellaferguson.com.au/offers/JTFFgjJL/checkoutFree HOW DO I STOP DRINKING SO MUCH Masterclass: https://resources.isabellaferguson.com.au/offers/7fvkb3FF/checkoutOnline Alcohol Self-Paced Course: https://resources.isabellaferguson.com.au/offers/fDzcyvWL/checkout...
