give up smoking, overeating and drinking, as well as other addictive behaviours.
Why might this be so? The human body, surrounded by a biofield, forms a complex flow of energy. When you try to suppress your thoughts, you block that flow. This is the way of the universe. I am not talking about anything esoteric right now, either. Just think about it. If you try to suppress the flow of water through a pipe, when you finally let go, the water gushes out with more force. We know better than doing that to our breath or bladder, so why would we think it would work with the energy of our desires?
These findings have obvious implications for individuals seeking to give up excessive behaviours of any kind–smoking, overeating, drinking, sex. While you are focusing on suppressing your addiction, you are not addressing the real reason you are in an addictive behaviour in the first place. You are not entering into the essence of your behaviour or realising all the forces in play.
Suppressing your thoughts and desires by focusing on positive thinking alone may not shield you from falling prey to an addiction. Being clear about all the contributing factors that control your behaviour and plugging energy leaks in your biofield will.
Finding the essence of the addiction Let’s now examine some of the non-obvious strategies for dealing with addictive behaviours. We will look through the lens of blocked energy and the energy loss that results. I will illuminate this point by sharing with you my own personal addiction story.
When my two sons were young boys, I developed a seemingly unconquerable addiction–to video games! And not to only the brainless or action ones, but to ones that could be termed ‘intelligent’, such as Tetris, a game in which geometric shapes stream down with ever- increasing speed and complexity and have to be strategically aligned at the bottom of the screen. I would stay up late into the night playing, until my eyes could no longer follow the shapes. With time

I reached a rather impressive score, but on too many days I would wake up sleepy and exhausted after a night of obsessive playing.
My family tried to help me in different ways. My husband and my kids, all computer wizards, tried to hide the game in obscure file folders or delete the game entirely from the system. But I would summon my own computer science expertise and unfailingly fish it back to life out of the annals of hyperspace. It seemed impossible for me to stop this self-sabotaging behaviour. I even tried all the healing techniques I knew, but to no avail. I blamed myself for being so helpless, yet the urge to play felt utterly beyond my control.
That is when I considered an idea rooted in many indigenous traditions, one that I had not thought connected to addictions–that behind every addiction there is some form of a dark force. This is the the kind of dark force made famous in popular media, such as the movies Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. This force links itself to some pre-existing self-defeating belief you hold (most likely a belief that holds a grain of truth) and that you try to suppress. It amplifies that thought pattern to such a degree that it begins to control your life. It creates a vortex-like dark and dense energetic structure in the form of an addiction to which you continually lose your own energy, and to some extent also drains the energy of those who love and care about you, for they inevitably get caught up in your struggle and, so, in the vortex of dark energy connected with it.
In other words, energetically your addiction is not entirely of your own making. To some extent this reality may allow you to blame someone else for your behaviour, which goes against the grain of what we have been told about positive thinking and taking responsibility. If a dark force is influencing you, then you may feel that you have no control. But this is not true. Just as I eventually did, you can succeed in overcoming your addiction if you are willing to not ignore it and examine it directly. Here’s how I did it.
Let me say that I was initially skeptical of the reality of a dark force. However, not having much to lose, I decided to explore the concept to see
