Hey, I like this convo.
I actually quit myself, 3 or 4 weeks into it now. I was a heavy heavy puffer, daily, for well over ten years. & don't get me wrong I still really love Ganja. I've had great experiences talking with the oversoul/nature spirit of this particular plant. I even grew for years, small time, in my closet, and it was theeeee most fullfilling hobby ever. I also had a beautiful glass bong. This last decade of puffing has been wonderful & I would not trade it for the world! I also would do whatever I could to help protect those that still do, & those that supply it too!
BUT I have this healer that has been working with me for a little while now. Which I had been keeping this a tight secret from her. Because, even though she always supports & votes to legalize it for all reasons, she also believes it's a very sacred herb. & in general talks we've had about it (like around voting time, when there was a measure to legalize it here), her view is to only use it once a year & only to take an intentional sacred spiritual journey. Which
only once a year! Yowsers! I didn't even remotely think I could or would ever
want to cut back like
that! But she doesn't use it herself
at all, even once a year for the *right* reasons.
So the last time I was on her table. She asks me "are you *arrrroooouuunnndd* someone who is a heavy marijuana smoker". And I'm like, "uhhhhmmmmmm, Uhhhh, yeah, that would be me"
(which of course she knew the correct answer, once she tapped into my energies in that particular session, before asking. I could tell by the way she asked she knew, but I think she was also a little surprised too.)
She said I had a heavy infestation of negative entities messing with my emotions just so they could feed off of me! I was like "Oh". Darn it......
I also have a special protection up, that doesn't let in anymore of this kind of thing. Just still working to gradually clean out old infestations, "dark-force energies", which even non-puffers have. But she also warned me that I could undo this protection, by repeatedly opening myself up so much in this way! It's a meal ticket for *some*, certain baddies, basically. Getting 'intoxicated' just really loosens up the energy centers.
So she was really gentle about it, because gosh darn it, I'm was a pot-head & I liked it, but I was
very receptive to the idea of quiting too. It must have been time & that is why my guides showed all that mess to her. Also I didn't feel it interfered with productivity or anything else
at all , like *they* try to tell us. Except I did keep having intense emotional issues, despite all the work I had been doing, healer assisted, as well as on my own. Well that has all cleared up perfectly now! I still get
slightly, & I mean slightly pained/emotional over problems sometimes still, but not anywhere like I used to! It is sooooo nice & I would have done anything to get to this point of inner peacefullness.
ANYTHING, anyways. I was feeling too much pain for no reason.
I also got into the teachings of
Abraham, which are really nice. They actually don't 'believe' in *dark-force energies* though...so that's not like *truth* or anything, just a way at looking at things. Which better to not give that stuff any attention anyhow. I try to stay really focused on beauty & light & the flow-of-well being! (with continued practice it gets more constant & second nature to feel good all the time) Which is the only flow there is! Unless we get into some mind-set or some way of looking at things that pinches that flow off. They also have great teachings about working our way up the 'Emotional Guidance Scale'! Emotions are Guidance...wow & how it all works...double wow. It's been amazing learning from them. BUT I wasn't having huge success after several months, I was having minor success. But nothing like now, until I got my energies more cleaned up through defferent practices (like Erin's
Chakra spinning meditation is great!) & got 'sober' & kept practicing tuning into the *flow*!
But, so, I got the message, more or less. At first I guess it
was hard, but easy too. I had a good reason & felt good about quiting. But all my friends puff, & 4 different customers at my work would just automatically slip me nice buds here & there for free. Which before I got a chance to tell them all what I had decided, I would accept such gifts, & then take the buds to less fortunate friends, who have no intention of quiting. I could even sit there while my friend's puffed. They all accept me doing this & love me still & treat me no different. I just pass, in stead of puff-n-pass. It's quite easy actually, really. Although I also mentioned 'hard' because in the begining of trying to quit, I still couldn't help but puff a few times, but a few weeks apart.
Well the last time I did it, my car got stolen (talk about traumatic) & totally trashed! AND basically my car got stolen exactly at the time I was toking up (according to the time of the hit & run on the police reports), after being *clean* for a few weeks. So even if it's not entirely related in all ways, I got the message on that front/syncrinicity anyway, & stictly haven't puffed or drank in about 4 weeks (although I think I can still drink a beer once in awhile, after some time passes, just not get drunk).
Okay this is getting waaaay long, but I also keep having dreams were my sub-conscious is telling me that the longer I keep not getting high, the clearer & more psychic I'll get! I do have natural psychic abilities and would like to develope them, so that's nice to hear anyway, another plus.
It also has become easier to spend more time exercising & making better choices about eating. I actually started to eat breakfast too! That helps to stabalize emotions as well, blood sugar stuff, my healer also guided me on. As well as I have been having incredible conversations with higher/inner-self, spirit quides, angels, and my sweet dragon companions have re-enetered my life in a major way!
Hope that helps! It is nice to have done this for myself. If it's your path to quit, if it's what your inner-self & guides are telling you to do, then good luck! I know you can do it! AND it's even just as fun being 'sober' all the time as it was puffing all the time.
Love
