Overcoming Spiritual Addiction with Energy Spirituality, a Guest Post by Robin
February 16th, 2013 by Rose Rosetree
Blog-Buddies, helping folks get over a Spiritual Addiction is one of the trickiest parts of Energy Spirituality. Over past years, I have helped hundreds of clients do this. Not one requested this in advance. In fact, most made appointments because they expected I would facilitate cutting a cord of attachment.
But nooooooooooooo. It wasn’t appropriate. Early in a session of Energy Spirituality, this healer uses skills of Energy Literacy (specifically, a brief Skilled Empath Merge). This in-depth aura reading, exploring chakra databanks, helps the healer to ascertain which skill sets would help my client most, at that time, to fulfill that client’s intention for healing.
Hello! If there’s a problem with Spiritual Addiction, that takes priority.
So I break the news as gently as I can, helping my client to understand the particular way that Spiritual Addiction is limiting life. During the session, I will custom design a recommendation that appears often at this blog in connection with how to overcome a Spiritual Addiction: Do no more than 20 minutes per day, total, of spiritual practices/self-improvement practices, etc.
“God is in the details,” as the saying goes. God certainly is in the unique details of a particular person’s Spiritual Addiction. Self-authority and knowledge help my client to choose what to fit in that 20 minutes per day of Self-Improvement Time.
Today, ROBIN has come forward to share how a session helped her overcome Spiritual Addiction. ROBIN isn’t merely a good sport. She is someone who doesn’t work nearly so hard any more on spiritual evolution and energy healing.
Yet she is moving forward more rapidly now on her personal path of spiritual growth. Here come her words (my headings, links, and minor edits).
When spiritual growth turned into Spiritual Addiction
Rose – I can’t thank you enough for your guidance in helping me, first, identify that I even had a Spiritual Addiction, and secondly, help me release it in virtually one session!
I have been on a serious spiritual path for as long as I can remember… but over the past few decades I hadn’t realized I had picked up so many of them and found a way to integrate them ALL into every waking hour:
- Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
- Reiki
- Tantric Buddhism
- Hinduism
- Kabbalah…
Just to name a few!!!
What is it like with Spiritual Addiction?
Seriously, a piece of every one of them became a part of my every waking hour, like a comfortable hum inside my head…
whether I was chanting mantras…
visualizing symbols…
or tapping…
I had convinced myself that they were adding to my spiritual growth, when in reality they were keeping me comfortably numb.
I actually enjoyed the comfortable, peaceful, floaty feeling I had grown accustomed to in that Spiritual Addiction space…
But in just one session, you have helped me with your healing techniques to simply drop the addictions!
After overcoming the Spiritual Addiction
I have been amazed at the level of connection I feel in my life in lieu of consumed with my various spiritual addictions, chanting, mantras, etc.
Now I am so much more present, and I have a healthier balance with my spiritual growth and life in relation to being here, in my body, mind and soul.
I realize now that my Spiritual Addiction was actually keeping me stuck in the same place I’d been accustomed to for the past decade, in lieu of the growth I had originally set out to attain.
Thank you so much for the amazing work you do. You are the real deal and way ahead of any other healers in this realm. In fact you are the pioneer in bringing this work to light. I’m looking forward to our continued work together in the next phase of my spiritual evolution.

Telling a New Age person that they need to spend less time doing things like Reiki is understandable, but what about people with spiritual addictions of religious nature?
I can’t imagine that very religious people would be receptive to the idea that they need to spend less time doing things such as praying, reading books such as the Bible, thinking about Jesus, and so on.
I can think of people in my own life who would be quite offended at the thought that their relationship with God is limiting their life rather than helping it.
LEE, great feedback!
Of course you can think of people who have a spiritual addiction. Which among us cannot?
And of course many folks with a spiritual addiction would not welcome the chance to improve their lives by changing their lifestyle a bit for a few weeks, just to find out if life does indeed improve.
Whether someone has a spiritual addiction, or is in a cult, or both, such an experiment could seem quite frightening.
Yet many with a spiritual addiction do know, deep down, they are stuck. And as devoted disciples of Jesus, or seekers of truth through any belief system, some brave people care more about finding the truth than keeping their minds slammed shut tight.
This blog, and all the teaching and healing services I provide, every bit of it, is designed to support spiritual self-authority for those who wish to increase personal development and/or spiritual growth.
At this blog, I don’t think you will find a single example of my telling people they must do anything in personal life.
(I do request something specific of folks who either enter contests at this blog or nominate candidates for The Enlightenment Life List. Yes, for that I request you Blog-Buddies to follow certain basic rules. But last time I checked, nobody was compelled to take advantage of the opportunity for a free aura reading. LOL)
Religious or not, LEE, the fact remains: People can definitely be in a pattern of spiritual addiction. If they are, they can improve their lives by getting rid of the addiction. Each person has choice, you know?
Speaking of people whose religion is very important to them, and at the risk of offending some of them still futher or, perhaps, you…
Guess what, LEE? If you take a look at “Magnetize Money with Energetic Literacy,” you can find an entire chapter that shares the results of considerable aura reading research I have done on Evangelical Christians.
Here’s a quick preview: It is far more likely for a fundamentalist, in any religion, to live in a state of spiritual shutdown than to have the contrasting problem of spiritual addiction.
Many folks seek bedrock security through religion, and may spend much of the day in rituals that confirm that sense of security.
Yet there is a big difference between lifestyle, thoughts, beliefs, and other components of CONSCIOUS life versus the SUBCONSCIOUS patterns that show when using the deep skills of energy literacy, either aura reading or doing a Skilled Empath Merge.
When you can research yourself or others with Stage Three Energetic Literacy, drilling down all the way to the chakra databanks, surprise!
Only then can you discern what is really going on with energy patterns. Chakra databanks must be read with clarity in order to spot spiritual shutdown or spiritual addiction… or a person living that middle path of most rapid personal development.
I thank Rose for making me aware of the pitfalls of spiritual addiction, it is something I was totally oblivious to before. It has changed my life and how I approach spirituality and religion, and also how I handle living my life.
GOWRI, you are so welcome. It is a fortunate healer or teacher to have a client or student who is really willing to change.
And who uses self-authority in the process. Whatever the personal choices that result….
Inspiring words have come from you for all of us here, I think.
