When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Question:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think that ,despite progress in the spiritual quest, some individuals need medication to control these conditions?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or, do you think that continuing meditation and mindfulness will bring all beings to a peaceful state of mind?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Response:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I assume the conditions that you are talking about that might require medication are serious events, like psychotic breaks or such.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In my experience, there are some rare cases where medication is helpful in the short-term to help someone deal with such an extreme psychological episode.<\/span><\/p>\n

In those cases, it is better to back off the meditation and spiritual practices until stability and balance is restored.<\/span><\/p>\n

Again, in my experience these situations that require pharmacological intervention are very rare.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In most cases the occasional bumps on the spiritual path are easily handled with various natural supportive techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n

Love,<\/p>\n
