Freedom from addiction is available in the one place that’s the most difficult for an addict to be—the present moment. In Natural Rest for Addiction, non-duality teacher and addiction specialist Scott Kiloby offers his Natural Rest program for finding recovery from substance abuse—and addictions of all kinds—through the mindful practice of Resting Presence.

If you struggle with alcoholism, drug dependency, or some other form of addiction, you know all too well the urges and cravings that drive your habit. Addiction tells you that something is wrong, that you need something outside of yourself to make you well, something to fill the sense of deficiency you carry inside. These feelings are often tied to deep emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, or pain held in the body that has never fully been acknowledged. But what if you could learn to relax into awareness and accept the difficult thoughts, emotions, and sensations that make you feel like you need to do something—anything—to change your experience?

This book will guide you, step by step, into the natural, open, peaceful awareness that is available to you at all times. Using the mindfulness-based Natural Rest program for recovery, you’ll learn how to tap into this present-moment awareness throughout the day, relieving yourself of worries about the future or past by allowing your thoughts and feelings to come and go as they are, without grasping at or trying to control them. You’ll also learn about the Living Inquiries, a process of self-inquiry developed by Scott Kiloby to target the beliefs, trauma, compulsions, and triggers that keep you trapped in the cycle of suffering and seeking.

At the heart of addiction is a constant, desperate desire to alter what you’re feeling, to escape from the here and now, to find relief. With Natural Rest for Addiction, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the complex issues that underlie addictive behavior and learn how to find peace, freedom, and well-being in the present, one moment at a time.

“We’re all born with a beautiful mind, but without the owner’s manual for operating it! Scott Kiloby’s latest book,NaturalRestforAddiction, is the owner’s manual we’re all yearning to possess. Through simple, direct, and flawless instruction, Kiloby shows us how to navigate difficult emotions, obsessive thoughts, and addictive behaviors. And he exquisitely reveals how to experience our natural state of wholeness—which is already present, but so often misunderstood—in which true and lasting healing is present. I deeply appreciate Kiloby’s wise counsel that shows how lasting healing and true health can unfold, no matter our circumstances, through simply learning to rest in our natural wholeness.”
RichardMiller, PhD, clinical psychologist, president of the Integrative Restoration Institute (www.irest.us), and author ofTheiRestProgramforHealingPTSD
“Scott Kiloby has married deep spiritual insight with practical, doable tools to create a truly new paradigm in recovery. Using the Natural Rest method and the Compulsion Inquiry can bring about profound transformation even in addiction, usually one of the most intractable human challenges.”
FionaRobertson, senior facilitator and trainer of Scott Kiloby’s Living Inquiries, and author ofTheArtofFindingYourself
“InNaturalRestforAddiction, Scott Kiloby brings his refined practice of present-moment awareness to the healing of addic-tions and other compulsions, teaching a gentle but deep self-inquiry whose ultimate goal is liberation.”
—Gabor Maté, MD, author ofIntheRealmofHungryGhosts, and cofounder of Compassion4Addiction (www.compassion4addiction.org)

Foreword
What is spiritual awakening? And how is it relevant to recov-ery from addiction?
There are so many books on the subjects of self-improvement, self-help, spiritual awakening, and addiction recovery available these days. So many methods, practices, pro-grams, teachers, and teachings that often seem so very differ-ent, even contradictory. So many people promising us so much, and it can all be so confusing for people who are genuinely open to discovering true peace and rest in their lives.
There are so many questions...
Which method works best?
Can I just stop using my drug of choice without support from others or the help of a method?
How do I know when I’m recovering from addiction?
Is recovery just about being abstinent? Or is it something more than that?
Is spiritual awakening what I need to overcome addiction?
Is spiritual awakening an “event” that happens to some people and not to others?
Is awakening something that can be reached through methods at all?
