Nature, Ritual & Sacred Sound

There are three things that I have found to be essential to my transformational recovery of my truest and most joy filled self and my overall wellness - NATURE, RITUAL & SACRED SOUND (namely, music 🎶). 
When in Addiction we become disconnected from our clear truth and joy, and we become dependent on outer substances, circumstances or behaviors to determine our “feeling good/regulated” - yet feeling good and regulated is something that must come from within us. (Not to discount the very important & necessary co-regulation)  This requires a lot of diligent care. It is very easy to fall into addiction patterns in this society which absolutely promotes the seeking outside of ourselves for relief from stress, pain and other challenging emotions. 
In Co-dependency our focus of energy is always on another, to the extent that we lose touch with our own needs and our own truth and essentially we abandon ourselves. 
If you find yourself in any of these suffering induced states of being I encourage you to gift yourself the most precious thing: your own time and energy and LOVE. Find ways to re-connect with what truly matters to you and what can truly help you to feel connected with Life. This healing and recovery takes time and diligent effort…and a whole lotta love.
