Aloha Pete17,
70 years- well, take some slow, gentle breaths, put a smile on your face, bring the energy up from your lower Dantain to your heart and in that quiet place, be gentle, forgiving, and find a love for yourself and your body.
Spring Forest Qigong can assist healing at a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level.
Master Lin talks about addictions being tied into a blockage in the liver. The Phone healing sessions and active exercises and guided siting meditations can assist in removing it.
Your thought about Hypnotherapy and counseling has me thinking of the Four Masters Event and Marie Diamond's conversation about Heavenly, earthly, and spiritual luck.
There is a mental, spiritual, and environmental aspect to all things. Addressing what may or may not be supporting you and this "blockage" in your environment (Feng Shui), mental/thought process (paraliminals, hypnotherapy, counseling), and energetically (Spring Forest Qigong) can be an effective strategy.
It's like someone thinking Qigong is going to be the cure-all and not making sure s/he is getting the rest, nutrition, and emotional balance they need to support the healing. Find what and who in your life is supporting the addiction and direct your time , focus, passion, and energy to things you DO want.
Much Love, Shawn
