On Addiction and Addictive Behaviors and Patterns

In episode 20, another recorded in nature, Tamika explores the expanse and weighty topic of addiction from a yogi's perspective. Employing the tools of the Yamas and the Niyamas, she identifies ways to utilize ancient yogic wisdom in addressing addictive patterns and behaviors. In honor of her humanity and others, Tamika grounds this topic in her own battle with sugar addiction and how the 8 Limbs of Yoga have informed how she is learning to minimize it in her own life. A chakra balancing meditation focused on self-healing begins at 58:11--it has been recorded outside so that you may sense grounding into nature as you explore your divine sacred wisdom and ability to heal from within.

If you would like to identify the source of your addiction, Tamika recommends meeting with an energy healer. Message her directly at [e-mail] for her recommended healers. Also, she invites you to take the first steps to freeing oneself from an addiction by talking to a medical professional.
