The highlights and benefits of spiritual healing treatment of addiction:
• Minimal cost – cost is mainly in terms of time invested and regularity of effort and for rock salt
• Very low incidence of withdrawal symptoms
• The spiritual practice increases the tolerance due to increase in sattvikta in the person
• Increases our spiritual energy and defense systems against the ghost/departed ancestor thus the person is able to give up the addictive habit immediately
• It works both as a treatment to cure addictions and as a preventive mechanism and it takes care of addiction formation as well as relapse too.
• The parents can take these 3 steps as a preventive measure while planning to have a baby. Bringing up the child in as sattvik an environment as possible and introducing the child to spiritual practice since early childhood will also help as a preventive measure.
• As a preventive measure for people who are not currently addicted
The factors critical for success are
1. Regularity in spiritual practice of the 3 step spiritual treatment
2. An intense desire to quit addiction
3. Strong willpower to do so
4. Faith in a Higher Power and spiritual practice helps to accelerate the healing process.
Bottom line
Spiritual research on addiction shows that the spiritual dimension has a monopoly on the root causes of addiction and without taking the spiritual dimension into account, people trying to assist in rehabilitation of addicts can only have limited success.
