Episode 40: Addiction as Disconnection: Healing with Yoga and the Stars

In this episode, we explore addiction—not just as a dependence on substances or behaviours, but as a symptom of deeper longing, disconnection, and unmet needs. Through the lenses of astrology and yoga, we unpack how certain planetary influences may illuminate patterns of escapism, craving, and emotional overwhelm.What are we really seeking when we reach for something outside ourselves? How can practices like pranayama, asana, and meditation help regulate the nervous system and reconnect us to an inner sense of safety and presence?We reflect on the spiritual roots of addiction and the human desire to feel whole, grounded, and at peace. This is a tender conversation about compassion, self-awareness, and the courage to sit with discomfort instead of running from it.Whether you’re walking this path yourself or holding space for someone who is, may this episode offer insight, grounding, and hope.Did you know you can subscribe to this podcast so that it automatically downloads the next episode for you?You can check out our respective websites and social media here:Becky:www.instagram.com/therosealmanacwww.therosealmanac.comLaura:www.soulsanctuarystudios.comwww.lauraclaytonwellness.com
