Healing is a long journey, a life-long one in fact. Years ago I used to be certain that one day I’d be “done”. Today I feel otherwise. Today, I revere my challenges as gifts, as beckoning calls from my soul back to me saying, “come here, come closer, know me, I’m here to guide you.”
As I shared last time, addictions are one of these gifts. They are a cover of sorts, a diversion, if you will, from a deeper, more vulnerable, and un-grieved layer of self…a layer of self longing to surface and become known.
Today I’m sharing the “sequel” to my discussion on addictions- A teaching I received several years back from a very generous friend and mentor, Siva Varma. Siva was raised in a traditional community in Kerala, India where he had a true master whose teachings Siva now passes on. I’m grateful for the afternoon Siva spent talking to me about what I’m about to share with you.
