One thing that is not often discussed is people who are addicted to “healing.” What’s wrong with that you may ask? The problem is an inability to just be with what is, an inability to see that things it will never be perfect, they are chasing something unreal,

they endlessly dredge up minutia because they can’t just be with the inherent discomfort of this life. It’s an endless fruitless loop. Instead of trying to remove something irremovable, it probably better to learn to live with it.

Not every instance of discomfort has to result in a shamanic journey of shadow work. You can just move forward without the distractions. Because that is what it ends up being. A distraction.
