IF YOU KNOW LINDSAY LOHAN OR ANYONE ELSE ON A RECOVERY PATH LIKE HERS, PLS FORWARD THIS URL TO THEM. THANK YOU!

Dear Lindsay,

You are doing great! Not that you need me to tell you, but, hey, maybe it's nice to have another cheerleader...

I just wanted to tell you what my intuition is sharing with me...It's like a message in a bottle I'm sending out for all who want to hear, including you...

There is a new addition to the signal of recovery from addiction coming to earth, it's just like a radio signal, and many are starting to receive and hear it. It encompasses the increasing self-love and self-forgiveness that humans can experience now, greater than was possible when the Twelve Steps were first transmitted. It is an overall gentler way, because it allows more of the inner wisdom to come in and cradle the person, rather than rely on an outside authority. When I see picture of you, I feel this energy -- that's why I am writing you here... What I see is your new self being born... 

I've been following this signal for a while, too. I felt its stirrings first within me as a strong desire for increased kindness and love of self; then I heard an audio of Abraham-Hicks which clearly outlined this new, Law of Attraction path. What is says, essentially, is this: when you see something in yourself that you don't want, gently draw your attention away from that and put it instead of what you do want -- either a new idea in your mind, or something around you that is already good....

What happens, I've found, when I do this with my addictions and addiction-related patterns is that they do not "go away" in a flash (which, in the old method, they actually don't; a lot of the basic enegy goes underground to get the sudden behavioral change), instead it just becomes more and more accepted as part of the personality and life, "normalized" and evened out.....It is as though I just continually let my own inner wisdom and power use this, like everything else, for good...

In this process, the true self continues to emerge from within, in the space of self-forgiveness that is opened up....so, one's perception of oneself, what one wants and what is possible more and more opens up in new and wonderful ways.

This method has many long-term and ongoing advantages which are added to the stability and wonderful change of the old way -- there is less "torque" in the personality, as more of the personality's needs and desires are taken into account all along the way, and change is evolutionary rather than revolution.

The immediate challenge is to deal with the sometimes severe verbal and energy "beatings" that are experienced as that energy of addiction is released from the being. For me, it takes the form of disapproval of those around me, and then, once I come to terms with that and am OK with it, it has taken the form of severe beatings within by my self-hating and self-critical voices....Now my challenge is to be OK with that, to let myself realize that it is old, addictive patterns releasing so that my new, more gentle, loving self can continue to grow...bit by beautiful bit...

Like every spiritual challenge, the means to overcome come along with the event....I have seen this in myself again and again. Last night, for instance, I experienced strong suicidal feelings, stronger than I have experienced in a long, long time, or perhaps ever...I was just starting to get a big concerned when I had a thought, "I wonder if expressing some anger would be helpful here..." I picked up a pillow and beat my bed with it (I found it helpful to beat the bed straight on and in slow motion). The suicidal thoughts dissolved into anger which dissolved into power and I felt like a giant, like Atlas big enough to hold up the world....As I folded my body at the waist, head down, to let the energy flow through me, I knew I had been reborn...

Just another day here on the new path to recovery.

Thanks for being here!

p.s. I saw a funny sign at the Renaissance Faire the other day: "The floggings will continue until morale improves," and I thought to myself, "WOW! SO TRUE!"There is a part of me that still lives like that.....How nice I am an integral part of a larger, more loving HP that opens me to something else, and something more....
