โI just want to be FREEEEE!!โ of -> [๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐]
The sentiment is genuine, but the freedom sought is an open, natural, spontaneous way of Life.
A pint after work may provide โFreedom from Angerโ
โCoffee plus Puffโ gives โFreedom from Frustrationโ,
The next Drama Series offers โFreedom from Boredomโ.
๐๐ญ๐ญ ๐ต๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ข๐ณ๐ช๐ญ๐บ.
These things are not โevilโ per se.
Behind every โwantโ is a genuine โneedโ.
Some regimes eliminated โbad habitsโ through shock-therapy โbecause โfearโ โfreedโ the person from their vices.
There are times when I was โfreedโโฆ but not all was well.
Nothing was wrong. But life wasnโt โฆGreat!. Even Post-Ceremony.
So, what is truly desired?
A good answer is โ Peace.
I want Peace.

It might be months at a special 'Treatment Centre Resortโ โ which has helped.
But some might uuhhโฆ.break their rules and get kicked out.
Eventually some might continue this at a Healing Ceremony.
The advice often given (seemingly for everything) is usually '๐ซ๐ถ๐ด๐ต ๐ฐ๐ฃ๐ด๐ฆ๐ณ๐ท๐ฆโ.
But two eyes cannot keep up with six horrid habits!
The disappointment reflects itself the answers when asked how 'Integrationโ is going?

This causes IMMENSE Frustration.
How could it not?
Healing did occur. ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฅ.
But the same old hang-ups, habits and attitudes start to return when back home.
There is ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ and ๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ด๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ.
Deep Acceptance and Sincere Confidence of being reborn.
And yet some degree of Arrogance.
That nothing could ever take them down that path again.
Not just nasty liver or lung damaging stuff either.
Resentments and subtle ways of acting that were damaging.
Dealing with the regular life demands, relationships and activities again is one thing.
But falling back into old harmful patterns, especially after โexpansive experiencesโ carry the sting of ๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ โ and itโs not a nice feeling.

The remedy is Ancient.
Satisfying anotherโs needs first.
We satisfy the demon.
Demon!!??
Actually, I should have said โ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐-๐ด๐ผ๐ฑ๐.
Stress, trauma, rage and other afflictions to โget rid ofโ are the daemon aspects.
Aiming at โgetting somethingโ, not rooted in true inspiration, is the other part.
But they are quite intertwined.
a substance โ that ๐ฒ๐ป๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐!
a person who โ who ๐๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐๐!
a project that โ results in ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐๐ฒ!

Fears and addictions fought and fleed against are disowned parts of ourselves, hence they become โdaemonicโ.

Likewise, obsessions and some ambitions can generate โgodlikeโ fantasies but in reality, are just draining.
๐ญ๐ฉ๐ข (gods) and ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ฆ (demons) are two sides of the same coin.
A core concept in this tradition is the concept of ๐ฑรถ๐ป.
translated as:-
(demons, spirit illness, negative forces, or malevolent energies, mental afflictions, negative forces or doubt)
They are treated through ritual means AND conventional therapies such as herbal medicine or even behavioural treatment.
But a common translation is โProvocationโ.
As any of these โconditionsโ โ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ฆ something in the patient.

Whatโs about to be taught has as its roots in:
Tibetan โPsychiatryโ, Bรถn Shamanism, Vajrayana Buddhism, Ta***ic Ritual, Shamanism, Astrology and Daemonology.
(Quite a mouthful!)
The Tibetan Nun - Machik Labdron articulated it nearly a thousand years ago
Her instructions are profoundly sophisticated and immensely valuable for anyone interested the workings of the mind.
She developed a system of meditation with such amazing results. that it spread throughout Tibet teaching and even back into India.
It is called ๐ฐ๐ตรถ๐ฑ (pronounced โ๐ค๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฉโ) and means โto cut through.

Set up two comfy seats. One for self and opposite one for ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฏ.
Relax, take few breaths, and choose an emotion or issue to work on. With eyes closed, recall the raw, nasty negative emotion how it feels in the body.
