Drinking, smoking, gambling, shopping, gaming, sex, - you name it - people will do anything to hide the pain - to self medicate. People will do anything to distract themselves from what does hinder them, deep within the Soul. We do it so well, that over time, we forget what it is we were running from, so when it comes time to face the demons that haunt us - we cannot find them.
Sit for 20 minutes a day with no distractions or intention to meditate. Just watch and feel whatever comes up from within without any judgement - without considering what comes up. When the time has past, then you can contemplate what came up.
Every time you give up an addiction or a distraction, within time - without fail, that which did hinder you, will present itself to you. Your job is just to sit in the pain and feel it without running to the bottle or the shops. Not to solve said problem.......just feel it -just to let it out of our system. Once felt, it leaves, leaving our Soul to rest in peace.
