Preeti is an experienced meditation teacher. Her guided meditations, which she wrote and recorded with the novice meditator in recovery in mind, are offered for free on the Insight Timer app.

Meditation is the spiritual superpower we all have, and all you need to access it is to be breathing. Do not let your assumptions about whether or not you can meditate prevent you from trying it. 

Meditation has become a critical coping strategy that helps me process my thoughts, feelings, and desires without turning to external or maladaptive behaviors like alcohol, shopping, or attention-seeking for numbing out or validation.
