Guest guest Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Sat Nam how about the meditation for addiction (I think). You put your thuumbs on temples and press while mentally chanting Sa Ta Na Ma and clennching on molars.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Dear Jreneeworks, I am housebound at the moment due to CSP (compulsive skin picking or dermatillomania) I have made such a mess of my face, again! The habituation meditation is supposedly helpful for these things, it is listed in David Shannahoff Khalsa's book. The OCD protocol might help, also in his first book, the one with couples therapy in the title. I still always find myself at the limits of these KY practices. They help, but that is about it, I practice for a couple of hours a day, for depression, ocd, addiction. It levels off the symptons, but that is about it. I feel very depressed of late, as I miss so much life due to these conditions and yoga only just helps a little. But do try, you may have more luck.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Dear Sukhnivas Perhaps this may help. There is a book called Peace Lagoon - you can order it from Ancient Healing Ways (http://www.a-healing.com/pelabosasoof.html) Reading 11 pages a day - or more- brings peace to your soul. many blessings, Dharm Kaur Kundalini-Yoga , " beautiful22 " <22taro wrote: > > Dear Jreneeworks, > I am housebound at the moment due to CSP (compulsive skin picking or dermatillomania) I have made such a mess of my face, again! > The habituation meditation is supposedly helpful for these things, it is listed in David Shannahoff Khalsa's book.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Sat Nam Renee, It may help to carefully observe your foods, especially what you eat just before an episode. Anything that comes up in patterns, eliminate or reduce from your diet. As far as subconscious patterning as the cause of this, continue and deepen your practice. There are meditations for picking, pulling, grinding, etc, but wounds we carry that we exhibit through self-destructive patterns can often be so deep as to need a very deep method of healing these inner wounds. I have found that my obsessive patterns lessened somewhat after continuous and dedicated sadhana, attention to diet and careful attention to other patterns in my life that aggravate picking (such as gambling, arguments, non-conscious relationships, TV news). But I also really got a huge healing boost by the following three deeper healing practices: 1) Dedicate practice of personally assigned meditations from Guru Dev Singh (private Sat Nam Rasayan session). 2) Doing White Tantric and Solstice events. 3) The major one for me was taking one of Sat Santokh's healing workshops ( " Healing the Wounds of Life " /Self-worth) http://www.satsantokh.com . After I did Sat Santokh's workshop Guru Dev Singh somewhat surprised, commented that I had completely changed, and that; " I was good now " . My picking has since in the 4-5 months following been reduced, and also, I have enjoyed eating other foods I previously shunned -- showing an opening of healing towards self nourishment. Also I have had a reduction in the allergic picking I had after eating the foods I was previously reacting to. It is still is important to watch my behaviors too, but those have changed almost naturally as a result as well. It may help to keep a diary in this regards too, and to open yourself to as many different healing and growth practices as possible with your intent in mind to keep healing. This YouTube video of Abraham may help in how you frame the goals you want to achieve in a positive vibrational tone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m6OG1d-AEU & feature=related Thank you and wishing you infinity and stillness on your journey, Fateh Singh Kundalini-Yoga , " jreneeworks " <jreneeworks wrote: > > I have finally diagnosed myself with OCD based on dermatillomania.
