The common place of challenge that depression, substance abuse and addition, come from.

In today's episode we'll talk about two of the more challenging experiences within our reality: depression and substance abuse, as well as addiction.

From the perspective of how a deep understanding of self allows an individual mental and emotional strength in life, a life whose influences have led to a lack of belief and caring about yourself, as well as the feeling that you do not have the ability to make the choices you would like to make in life, can act to separate us from an easier access to what it is that lies within us.

It leads to us feeling empty and looking for answers.

What the inner self understands however, is that the ideas of our outer world, regarding what it is we need to do or have to be worthy, to be lovable, are extremely short sighted. As a result, it pulls us into ourselves, knowing that within is the one place where the information, knowledge and ability lie.

Or we attempt to pull ourselves away from the outer world with various substances. Trying to fill a hole that can't be filled that way.

We'll talk today about how the exploration and journey into a deeper awareness of us, is the most powerful and permanent way, to move us beyond these challenges.
