Natural Rest for Addiction is Scott Kiloby's book employing his unique mindfulness approach on addictions of every kind. Mindfulness is an emerging, effective treatment for addiction. It is starting to be employed in many substance abuse centers across the U.S. Scott is the author of six books, an international speaker and an addiction specialist. In this book, you will discover how to be present in the moment and not live in the past and future so much, which is where addiction lies. Living in the moment provides a profound peace and freedom. The book also contains Scott's groundbreaking "Living Inquiries" which provide a way to dismantle the self-esteem issues that underlie addiction. Scott is the Founder of the first addiction recovery center in the US to focus primarily on mindfulness. The center can be found at www.kilobycenter.com.

"We're all born with a beautiful mind, but without the owner's manual for operating it! Scott Kiloby's latest book,
Natural Rest for Addiction, 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."

"Kiloby has found that mindfulness training can help anyone struggling with addiction to kick their habit by teaching them how to stay in the present moment. He explains that by naturally resting in a state of presence, one stops looking to the future for ultimate satisfaction. The author offers strategies and exercises that can help combat cravings, encourage positive feelings, and listen fully to what others are saying. Kiloby delves into dissolving physical body contractions, or blockages of energy/repressed emotions, so that true transformation may be achieved and there's no possibility of falling back into the addictive cycle. Kiloby's practical and innovative skills will undoubtedly benefit anyone caught in a cycle of addiction, anxiety, or depression. Recommended."
