Suggested principles in the treatment of addiction obtained through spiritual research
The principle behind any spiritual treatment is to instigate an increase in the basic subtle sattva component in the person along with a concomitant decrease in the subtle basic tama component by doing spiritual practice that conforms to the five basic principles of spiritual practice, done regularly and increased from time to time at a quantitative and qualitative level.
The 3-step Spiritual treatment program for overcoming addictions, recommended by SSRF
1. Repeating the protective chant of ‘Om Namo Bhagavate Vaasudevaaya’ for a minimum of 2.5 hours or 972 repetitions daily.
2. Repeating the protective chant of ‘Sree Gurudev Datta’ for a minimum of 1.5 hours or 972 repetitions daily.
3. Salt Water treatment for 15 minutes daily (by placing the feet in a bucket filled with water, add 2 spoons of rock salt to the water)
This can be followed up with reducing the intake of the addictive substance or thing in a phased manner along with any medical treatment that has been prescribed by one’s doctor or psychiatrist.
