Meditation, Recovery, Inner Peace: Finding Stillness Through The Zendo | London, Ontario

Welcome to Stirring Strength: Perspectives on Mental Health & Addiction with host Dean Anderson. In this reflective and grounding episode, Dean sits down with Mike Lobb, a meditation teacher and representative of The Zendo, a London-based organization offering accessible meditation and mindfulness support for people in recovery and the broader community. Mike shares how meditation can support emotional regulation, reduce reactivity, and create space between impulse and action, especially for those navigating addiction, mental health challenges, and life transitions. Together, Dean and Mike explore how stillness can become a practical tool for recovery, helping people reconnect with themselves, develop awareness, and build resilience without needing perfection or years of experience. This conversation highlights how mindfulness is not about escaping discomfort, but learning to sit with it safely, gently, and without judgment. Mike also introduces The Zendo’s mission to make meditation approachable, trauma-informed, and welcoming for people from all walks of life. 💬 In this episode: · What meditation really is, and what it isn’t · How mindfulness supports recovery and emotional regulation · Why stillness can feel uncomfortable, and why that matters · The connection between awareness, impulse, and choice · How meditation helps build resilience and self-compassion · Making meditation accessible for beginners · The role of community in healing and growth · How The Zendo supports recovery and mental wellness Mike’s perspective reminds us that peace is not something we achieve later; it’s something we practice now, one breath at a time. Recovery is not only about stopping harmful behaviours, but about building inner safety, presence, and clarity. Weekly meditation practice available with Mike at EPIC Recovery.
