Hammock Readings

Daily Meditation Readings for Grief and Loss

Anyone who’s experienced a loss knows the grief that follows it – like a dark, bottomless abyss that’s too deep to climb out of. But guided grief meditation can help with processing this pain, freeing us to find peace and begin living again.

Join the Avenues community each morning with daily recovery readings. Begin your day with inspired intention and joy!

The Magic of Meditation

Navigate addiction from a place of mindfulness. Together with psychosomatic practices like yoga, meditation reduces cravings and strengthens our self – discipline, helping us regulate ourselves and better manage an addiction.  

With guided meditations across a wide range of topics, Avenues Hammock Readings is sure to have something perfect for you!

Grief and Loss Meditation

If you’ve lost someone precious to you, you may be struggling to comprehend your loss and the staggering pain that came with it. You might feel like the morning will never come – and those feelings are normal.

But did you know that meditation can help? After a death, meditation releases stress and puts us in touch with both our bodies and minds. It helps us acknowledge our powerful emotions and process them in a healthy way, which eases both physical and mental pain. Coupled with professional guidance when necessary, grief meditation gives us a sense of strength and faith, helping us heal from our loss and come out stronger than before.

How to use these recovery readings

On paper, meditation sounds simple. But staying focused, maintaining calm, and tuning in to yourself can be trying. This guided meditation for addiction can make meditation for recovery easier. It gives you something to focus on, solving the question many meditation beginners have: “What should I do?”

  2. Choose a time and place. Look for a comfortable, familiar spot where you can focus. 
  3. Use proper posture. Sit with a straight back and relaxed shoulders so you can breathe properly.
  4. Relax your body. Notice where you’re holding tension in your body, and release it. 
  5. Play your Recovery Reading. This helps set your intention for the meditation – and the day.
  6. Tune into yourself. Focus on how each part of your body feels to stop your mind from wandering.

All I can say is that Avenues helped change my life and showed me that recovery was an option. The place is for me was magical. I had been sober many times in the past but never ever recovered from tragedy, trauma, or my addiction. I was given tools and educated on how to use them and now I have a life of an addict being in remission and recovering daily. 8 1/2 months sober today and ready for more.

When it comes to recovery, community is the most important factor to me because it’s what is going to keep me sober. The community here gives me the chance to help another alcoholic which essentially helps me. The staff is amazing and truly is here for me. They have helped me in so many different ways to help me realize that I am capable, lovable, smart.

I am one who has been to treatment multiple times at other facilities and was not able to stay in long-term recovery. Avenues was a much needed experience that has renewed my hope for sobriety. I cannot thank them enough. The clinicians were kind, supportive, and very knowledgeable. I was able to see tangible results for the work I put in. It has given me the resources to succeed!

Literally a life changing experience. I was able to practice life skills in a warm and safe environment. Though the work was difficult at times, there was so much support from the clinical staff, fellow clients and the counselors. I was blessed and fortunate to have been in this marvelous program and grew so much emotionally!! Thank you Avenues for giving me a second chance at life!
