A Healing Balm

A Healing Balm

I wrote in my previous blog about the emotional pain and unresolved emotional issues that underlie all cravings.

The pandemic of addiction, in my opinion, effects and has effected more people than the Plague, Spanish Flu and Corona all put together. Of course I don’t have the figures to back this up – look it up if you are interested – I am hazarding guesses here for dramatic effect, nonetheless I am sure there is  more truth in there than meets the initially unbelieving eye. 

Let's explore it. Count it up - people who are heroin addicts, cocaine addicts, pot heads? How can we have numbers or accurate statistics on that, when essentially it is a secretive behaviour? Only those involved in it reveal it to each other. They do not reveal it to sober folk or people asking them to fill in a questionnaire – Do you do heroin? So we do not have accurate data on how many people are illegal drug users. We have numbers on people who are medically prescribed antidepressants etc. And no one is that bothered on how many people drink a couple of bottles of wine in a week because it is deemed normal. Likewise with smoking it is legal and normal but statistics are probably there as to how many folk smoke in the world. How many people are using work, TV, video games etc to numb their feelings is of no consequence to anybody, so no statistics there, although if you dig you may find some. And we come to  ‘’food when full’’ as the drug of choice of many. We probably do have statistics on that too. Accurate or inaccurate we know that alone is of epidemic proportions in society.

So add them all together and tell me we do not have a pandemic of addiction on the planet.

Now the two words here are key ‘pandemic’ and ‘addiction’. Pandemic refers to how widespread it is, and addiction refers to what it is. Now what is the solution? The fact that it is detrimental to peoples lives should draw our attention to seeking a solution as with all pandemics.

The fact that it is ‘addiction’ we are dealing with, shows us it is a symptom of a deeper problem and that problem is unresolved emotional issues, traumas of all shapes and sizes. So what we are seeking a solution to, on an individual and global scale is trauma. What it is and where it comes from. How to heal trauma and also how to prevent trauma. That is what we are really dealing with in healing layer upon layer of issues within human society today.

So what is causing the trauma in humans? What can heal trauma if trauma has happened? As you can see we are peeling away layer upon layer, and the layer peeled away now, reveals starkly that some humans are inflicting trauma upon other humans. Boiled down to the core issue of – Man’s inhumanity to man – let’s not kid ourselves we are dealing with anything else. Let’s not run away from the issue because we deem it difficult, painful or unsolvable. It can be solved, it can be faced up to and it can be healed. How do we know this? We can only know this through THE EXPERIENCE of personally having faced up to ones own trauma, felt and healed one’s own emotional pain, and overcome the difficulty of it. It is in being a person who knows what they personally suffered, and have faced up to all the emotions that that entailed, and healed those emotions, those wounds. Be they physical wounds as in the case of a battered person, be they emotional wounds inflicted by a teacher, parent, or sibling, be they sexual wounds inflicted by a doctor, dentist, stranger or family member. Big and small, these traumas and wounds at the hands of others, at the hands of one’s own erroneous decisions, one can heal. This is the journey away from addiction – that journey of being aware of what happened and being able to heal what happened. The therapy you see on YouTube, the blog, the video from the Hay House bestselling author like Byron Katie who herself suffered ten years of depression, food addiction due to childhood molestation, these healing methods are a shining light showing clearly that one can heal. This is the only cure for The Pandemic of Addiction. For as long as we have man’s inhumanity to man in all its forms, subtle, covert or overt we will have two choices – to use the socially normal ‘’addiction’’ method to cope, or the new holistic, Alternative Therapies, pop psychology, energy healing methods of recovery. Choose beloveds choose the later, for it is in no uncertain terms giving yourself new life, new love, new happiness.
