Breaking the Cycle of Addiction

 Most people have some form of addiction whether we like to admit it or not.

For the most part we have a reasonable level of control over our addictions but they can be as minor as wanting to eat a little more chocolate than is healthy or they can be such as to create other problems in our life.

It is difficult to eliminate addictions as many times it is due to something that has happened in the past and some people can't even pinpoint what it might be that has caused the addiction.

Yoga helps to peel back the layers of time that have made us what we are and in that process we can begin to see the reasons why we have certain addictions.

People who are aware that they have an addiction often try to repress it but this is not the way to solve the problem. This is not the way to get to the root cause of the problem and if that isn't done and the problem isn't addressed then it won't be possible to release that problem from their life and have the freedom to move on.

Yoga is even used in many detox programs to help people come off drugs by recreating the balance in their life that they have lost along the way.

By helping people to look at their way of thinking, that they have conditioned themselves to accept, Yoga can help to make the necessary changes that will allow them to change their thought patterns and eliminate the addictive behavior faster than most other forms of help.

The major benefit of using yoga to assist in the treatment of addictions is the fact that it also helps people to change the way they feel about themselves and this flows over into all aspects of their life giving them a more positive and productive approach to living which reduces the chances of them adopting any further negative addictions.
