Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Satnaam Dear friends, I have heard how 3HO has helped many people come off of drugs thorugh the years and also of a rehab program that they used successfully. Up until now I have not known any drug abusers, but recently I have been in contact with a young guy, aged 20 who admits he is a cannabis addict and that he needs his daily fix, he spends all of his money on it and seems to be ruining his relationships, losing his job and about to drop out of University too. When we meditated together, the urge totally left him, the guilt left him infact he felt the hand of God upon His head ( as we did reiki + satnaam simran on him). But since then he has gone back even more into drugs and unfortunately I do not see him too often. I am praying for him as this is too complicated for a simple mind like mine!! Any advice would be warmly received. Dust of your feet Harjit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know two books about this topic: - Mending Alcoholism and Substance Abuse (Deva Singh Khalsa) - Meditations for Addictive Behavior (Mukta Kaur Khalsa) There you can find many good tips about kriyas, meditations and also nutritional tips able to support who is trying to get rid of substance abuse.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 SAT NAM I am not an expert but a community worker, I would be trying for the person not to drop for his activities, studies and relationships, there is probably a reason underlying the lack of discipline and motivation. Habits have To change. Using drugs is not an absolute in the life of a person and the person needs to build around himself and explore other issues while functioning. Marihuana is not a difficult drug to stop in the sense of having side effects, 2 weeks is a time but there has to be other carrot , other way of living his/her life, support a person as a friend is a great committment, a continuous one and I would see that he meets a counsellor especilized in young people and drugs, for you, be broad minded, keep it cool,and read good info. people that uses drugs as well as people that suffers domestic violence or abuse tried sometimes several times to quit or going away SAT NAM Shanti H --- On Wed, 11/3/09, Harjit <satsatsat wrote: Harjit <satsatsat Kundalini Yoga How to help a drug addict?

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Sat Nam, dear Harjit, I think that having your friend committed to a 40/90 days sadhana with a kriya to rebuild the aura combined with pranayama should help. Also, I would encourage him to pray in the way that is closest to his soul. He may receive unexpected support through his own prayers God bless your friend with strength, self-love, and harmony.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Dear Harjit, The book _Kundalini Yoga Meditation, Techniques Specific for Psychiatric Disorders, Couples Therapy & Personal Growth_ by David Shannahoff-Khalsa has a chapter specifically for healing addictions. It also has a case history of two people who were helped with these methods. (Both books are available on www.yogatech.com.) In the old days I seem to recall something about a diet of oranges and bananas for some period of time, followed by the mung beans and rice diet... I never did it myself, so don't know the details, but perhaps someone else here does. I wonder if it might be in the book _Foods for Health and Healing_ by Yogi Bhajan.... anybody know? (Both books are available on www.yogatech.com.) Blessings and good luck to your friend - Take care and have a wonderful happy day, Sat Darshan :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Satnaam Ji, Thankyou to everyone who has sent a reply. And here is a reply to Akash Ji'. We just sat in sangat with some blessed souls. We closed our eyes and started our internal simran, just repeating satnaam satnaam in the mind and then it goes into the heart. This is how were were blessed with Gurprasad (God's graceful) Naam. Tongue doesnt move, body doesnt move, body is relaxed. This is what we call Naam Simran. The only technique is heartfelt prayer to God and Guru to use this mind, body and soul for th highest divine good of the person sitting infront. Then as we feel the Amrit (God Force / Reiki) tingling in our hands, we go with the feeling and placed the hand on his head. The only technique is to give mind, body and wealth to Guru, to surrender everything, to become empty so that God can become everything and do everything as He pleases. Thanks for asking, dust of your feet Harjit 2009/3/11 akash sachdev <akashsachdev > Satnam Harjit ji, > > > I would like know if you did any special kriya with him to make him let go > his urge ...or just Satnam Inhale and exhale in general. > > > thanks > Akash > ------------------------------ > Kundaliniyoga > noi > Wed, 11 Mar 2009 07:45:06 +0100 > Re: Kundalini Yoga How to help a drug addict? > > Sat Nam! > > I know two books about this topic: > - Mending Alcoholism and Substance Abuse (Deva Singh Khalsa) > - Meditations for Addictive Behavior (Mukta Kaur Khalsa) > > There you can find many good tips about kriyas, meditations and also > nutritional tips able to support who is trying to get rid of substance > abuse. > > Blessings! > > Sujan S. > > > ---- Original Message ---- > " Harjit " <satsatsat > <Kundaliniyoga > > Tuesday, March 10, 2009 5:53 PM > Kundalini Yoga How to help a drug addict? > > > Satnaam > > Dear friends, > > I have heard how 3HO has helped many people come off of drugs thorugh > > the years and also of a rehab program that they used successfully. > > Up until now I have not known any drug abusers, but recently I have > > been in contact with a young guy, aged 20 who admits he is a cannabis > > addict and that he needs his daily fix, he spends all of his money on > > it and seems to be ruining his relationships, losing his job and > > about to drop out of University too.
