Another way of putting it is if we're addicted, we're not clear. We don't give off lucent, radiant  energy from our bodies; therefore, our auras (or electromagnetic fields) are muddy. The emission of brilliant, pure energy from our physical selves is significant in the area of manifestation; that is, we desire to attract the best to us on a material and spiritual level. I believe that exuding this luminous energy is the cornerstone to materializing positive experiences.  A clear and healthy physical body, and plenty of personal fulfillment, is necessary for optimum health. If we're blocked in any way, whether it's due to addiction or illness, our physical bodies become tired and worn down, and we cannot reach our highest potential.                  

I can't stress enough the importance of competent, regular medical attention. The use of medication is between you and your doctor. There's a place for medication, just as there's a place for natural remedies -  everything works together. Thanks to medication, hearts are regulated, diabetes is controlled, headaches are cured, and pain is alleviated.            

But there are people who are overmedicated and will reach for “magic bullets” whenever a symptom of any kind appears. That is, they're addicted to the concept of taking medication for every  ailment that they have, instead of trying to figure out where the problem originated. On some level, people can often be addicted to the emotional drama that they've created in their lives, and they prefer to look to medication as a remedy, instead of dealing with what caused the pain in the first place. When a person is medicated, this presents an interesting challenge for me intuitively. When I tune in to a body, it normally looks like a road map to me -  but when someone is medicated or especially overmedicated, I can't see the “map” because it's covered with clouds. Much like a person with any kind of addiction, the medicated person appears not to be a “real” person, but someone wearing a disguise, which masks who they are on a physical level.           

People are often addicted to their illnesses. The experience of being in pain can bring great rewards in terms of care, nurturing, and most important - love.           

It's sad that so many people forget this basic concept: The body knows what to do to get  healthy. Optimum health takes a deeper level of commitment than some people are willing to make, and as a medical intuitive, I find that the unraveling of this multilayered puzzle can be both disturbing and rewarding.
