Manifesting Through Meditation

[CraigEngbretson]

Hello Everyone. Im 23 and pulling myself out of a world of turmoil. At the age of 16 i used drugs for the first time and thought to myself this is IT. I actually told myself that the drugs could help me cope with my problems. As you would have it "This didn't work" it lead me down a terrible and negative path filled with guilt and shame. Thankfully I met a lovely person who showed me the insanity of the decisions I was making. Once I realized this was wrong I still had a long road to actually recovering. A road I'm still currently on but I'm driven to change the negative programming in my brain. I use meditation among other things to do this. I no longer use drugs or alcohol whenever things get tough I just amp up the meditation and learning. Im in this group looking for people who are similar to myself. I also am looking for guidance and possibly a spiritual teacher. I meditate but I am not a spiritual person but I wish to be. I hope for as much feedback on this one as possible. Some input on what I said would be great. Advice is always helpful.

I have been down a similar road, Craig, but with alcohol. I have been sober for over 4 years now, but much has happened since then, including the life upheaval of divorce. I just wanted to encourage you that you are on the right path, and you should be congratulated for making such a wise decision so young! I wish you the best.

Hey good to know that meditation helped you out. I would also suggest you to go with Yoga retreats, as yoga retreat usually include high-quality daily yoga classes, delicious meals, comfortable accommodations, relaxation, and exploratory adventures through natural wonders as this will help you to feel more refreshed, renewed, and more like your true self than you have in years.
