Healing an Addictive Personality
Preparation
Sit comfortably with your feet grounded.
Place your hands over your heart or on your lap.

Bring awareness to your addictive behaviors or compulsive patterns — substances, food, gambling, technology, or other habits.

Acknowledge these feelings without judgment, knowing it’s safe to release and transform them.
