Guest guest Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 A while back I began writing an article for AT about the ways KY can help kick addictions. In the course of writing this article, I began to experience a great amount of stress in my own life due to job loss and uneasiness with the economy and the war. So I reached for my old friends--cigarettes and the occasional xanax, so I'm back at square one. I'm still working on the article and others for AT, but feel like a hypocrite, as I am still trying to kick these bad behaviors myself. My KY practice has fallen behind. All I ask of my brothers and sisters out there is to put out some good energy so I can once again find my creativity. And thanks to all who have supplied me thus far with their own experiences. I'll be back. Sat Nam friends Siri Deva Singh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Siri Deva Singh, I feel for you. Cigarettes are one of the hardest addictions to kick. I have always said that quitting smoking is easy...I do it at least a couple of times a year. The challenge is not starting up again. But you already know this. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know my thoughts are with you, as I am also struggling with this. Don't lose heart...Sat Nam, Karin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Addictions to smoking substances, eating, drinking, sex, pastimes, talking nonsense, watching nonsense, thinking nonsense about others or ourselves or how we want something thinking this will make us happy. Having your Kundalini awaken is the time to experience the void or sanctuary that one enters into at death. So when that person is gone but still loves you, you are practicing being in the sanctuary. Also you are practicing how not to use people for your selfish needs and how not to be used for others selfish needs. Love people not things, use things dont use people.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Please do not think you are back at square one. it's just not so. Healing from addiction is just that--healing, and its a process. don't think "relapse"; think "another step in your healing journey." Every "relapse" is telling you something, and the more and longer you do ky, the more you are able to get the message. I've been fighting alcohol addiction for some time, and I've found my path, but I have tripped from time to time. Still each time, I have been able to look back and see things I could not see before. Despite the trips, overall, my healing has progressed--and yours will too. peace and prosperity, love and light, sukhmani - Blue Kundaliniyoga Thursday, March 27, 2003 1:01 AM Kundalini Yoga Kundalini Yoga and Addiction A while back I began writing an article for AT about the ways KY can help kick addictions.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 Sat Nam Sukhmani Thank you for your kind words. I've slowly brought myself out of that funk from earlier this week, and it's been through ky. Thank you so much for responding to my note.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 one other thing. there are no coincidences. that all this came up while you are working on an article for AT is no exception. Instead of thinking of yourself as a hypocrite, use what this experience has taught you--it may belong in that article! oh, and I didn't mean to sound like "relapse" is a necessary part of the healing process. Lots of folks learn their lessons without it. Indeed, ky and mantra are a key to learning our lessons without it. It's just that, some of us with very stubborn egos insist on learning the hard way! God Bless, and I will look forward to your article. peace and prosperity, love and light, sukhmani - Blue Kundaliniyoga Friday, March 28, 2003 10:21 AM Re: Kundalini Yoga Kundalini Yoga and Addiction Sat Nam Sukhmani Thank you for your kind words.
