2) Explore Jung's illuminating insight that addiction represents a "spiritual thirst for wholeness," offering a revolutionary framework for understanding the deeper roots of recovery
3) Learn how spiritual crisis manifests not just through addiction but through generational patterns and life events, and why naming this crisis is the first step toward healing
4) Understand the vital connection between spiritual awakening and physical grounding through conscious breathing - a practical tool for navigating the recovery journey
5) Gain insight into how protective walls and armor that once served us can become obstacles to genuine connection and discover paths to authentic healing beyond these defenses

Read Blogging With BaDu and the sacred journey of addiction recovery intertwines with ancient wisdom in ways that might surprise you. As a shaman who has walked through my own dark night of the soul, I've discovered profound connections between traditional healing practices and modern recovery - particularly in Bill Wilson's groundbreaking work with AA. That famous Latin phrase "spiritus contra spiritum" (spirit against spirit) holds mysteries deeper than most realize. If you're curious about how shamanic wisdom, spiritual awakening, and recovery weave together on the path to healing, join me in exploring Part 1 of this journey. Together, we'll dive into the mysteries of consciousness and learn to live as sovereign, self-realized beings.

Shamanic Recovery: Blending Ancient Wisdom with Modern Science Blogging with BaDu: An Introduction

Are you, a 12-steppers or anyone clinging to religious or spiritual systems, speaking out of both sides of your mouth? Do you spout theories you cannot live? This might be shadow worth examining.

The Big Book of AA (p. 58), aligning with traditional wisdom, states it simply: “Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly, followed our path. Those who do not recover are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves to this simple program, usually men and women who are constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves. There are such unfortunates. They are naturally incapable of grasping and developing a manner of living which demands rigorous honesty."

While the “program” may be outlined like a mathematical formula, the true journey is the PATH which lies in lived experience - it's the journey itself, not merely studying a formula. It must be integrated to create a psychic change. Yet even among those who appear to “work a program,” many fail to truly live the path. For how can one claim to embrace spiritual principles while harboring fear, resentment, hate, vengeance, and retribution? These energies fundamentally contradict the spiritual principles that underlie all true healing paths - whether in 12-step spirituality, shamanism, or other authentic traditions.

We must remember who we are and embody our elegance as souled beings. What a privilege it is to be awake and conscious! The journey is one of conscious evolution and self realization. It cannot be accomplished by following energy that is grounded in shadow, fear, or vengeance. If that becomes your path, that is your choice - but sooner or later, we all wake up and come home to ourselves- whether it this life time or the next.

True recovery demands not just mechanical adherence to steps, but a genuine transcendence of consciousness and a commitment to living these principles in all our affairs.
