Understanding Addiction's Root Causes Is The Start of Being Free

All human beings are looking for something and ultimately that is love and acceptance. Love is the feeling of unity and oneness that validates our existence and makes us feel whole.

Most individuals did not grow up in an environment of unconditional love and acceptance and so there is still a hollow place within that is holding the emotion of fear and separateness. We often do not recognize this place of emotion because we were taught as adults to grow up and, with the power of the mind, create what you want and forget about your past hurts.

This is where addictions begin to surface, because even though we may have an adequate amount of substances and/or things, there is never enough to fill the hollow place within because outer things cannot fill the feeling of lack of love. We are still looking for the feeling of unity and oneness to validate our existence.

Society's Encouraged Addictions Keep You Disconnected And Suffering Too.

In our society some addictions are honored, accepted and encouraged. For instance money, power, glamour, intellectual acumen, sports and fame are encouraged and validated. Yes, some people within these disciplines perform because of dedication and love, while others are driven to the top of their field in order to be validated and accepted. On the other hand, people who use alcohol, drugs, sex or display macho behavior are shunned by society but, in fact, their behavior is simply a call for love and acceptance as well.

For the individual who is lost in wealth or in alcohol it is the same need to be accepted. The problem is that outer validation and acceptance will not heal the wounds of emotional separation that we all experienced in childhood. True freedom and creative joy arises forth when we learn how to unconditionally love and accept ourselves from the level of the divine and spiritual self within the core of our being. Only union with the Soul will bring authenticity to every moment and magnetize back into your life goodness and grace as a reflection of your innermost beauty.

Tools To Transform Addictions - Getting the Good Feelings From Within.

Golden light meditation and the corresponding emotional healing process reveals the emotion that is still carried within the tissues and organs of your body that vibrates out from you and creates the addiction in your life. Once the emotion is found and the child-like self within is healed then you dwell within the innocence, joy, creativity and love of the authentic self and live in freedom. Equally important, the pain of your addiction has driven you to this new inner awareness and so you no longer judge and criticize those who are still lost in their addictions and suffering. Your compassion offers them a hand of love and understanding that opens the door to healing for them.
