PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

During the course of our life journey, we meet many along the way, but why have we chosen these individuals to share our life journey as lovers or friends.  I believe we choose these specific people because we share the same emotional issues and may have similar emotional histories with them.

Recently, I had some differences with a friends, and I have come to realize that we share the same emotional dependency issue, as I share this issue with many in my life.  The conflict arose from what we recognize in each other that is this emotional dependency that we have between us.  What I have discovered and realized about emotional dependency is that it is an addiction.  Like any other addiction, once we try to kick the habit with one person, we transfer that emotional dependency onto another.

As I have recently recognized the illusion that I had been living in, I convinced myself that these relationships are merely intimacy or closeness with and even love of another, when if fact, they are emotional dependency on others.  These are unhealthy attachments, and I know this because if or when they leave me, I have and will feel terrible yearning and pain, like trying to quite smoking, drugs, alcohol, etc.

For me, the most important issue as I try to quit my emotional dependency addiction is to refrain from transferring my addiction onto another, as I have seen myself and so many others do this. The result is that I will be perpetually trying to quite this addiction, but never succeeding.  May you find freedom from your addictions, Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
