Dear Friends,
This is an email response I wrote recently about the connection between addiction and learning to harness and utilize our Shakti energy:
I don’t see the addict or the wounded healer as a negative at all. I believe that too much light and so called positive energy only can turn out to be just as negative as what some would originally call negative. The way to wholeness is "the Light, the Dark, No Difference." Both are needed to be truly creative and potent in our lives! The majority of addicts that I have known are very spiritual, sensitive and psyhic, without the tools to manage all that Shakti. They do not use to get high, they use to try to feel normal and to harness and calm down all that extra energy. The drinking and or drugs takes the edge off. I finally learned through my sobriety and spiritual path how to harness that energy and to surf the waves and currents of Shakti and Kundalini - AND I can still get off balance by running too much of that energy from time to time. I suggest "The Shaman’s Body" by Arnold Mindell. He talks a lot about this. It is one of the books I recommend in the SHIP process. Carl Jung has said, "there is such a thing as too much good which can turn into evil and there is such a thing as too much bad which can turn into righteousness."
Love and celebrating you,
Star Wolf
