a: a spoken word or form of words held to have magic power

b: a state of enchantment

I’ve been professionally helping others in recovery for almost as long as I’ve been clean and sober—no coincidence. From the start, I realized that for treatment to have any chance of success, I need to take what works from my esoteric Chinese medicine and core-shamanic approaches and explain addiction’s origins and mechanisms in a way people can understand.

On the other end, I’ve had to translate what I do for treatment centers, insurance companies, and licensing and accreditation boards, as well as to my medical and mental health colleagues—speaking in the “medical-ese” that checks diagnosis codes and reimbursement boxes.

Fun, right?

Now, I aim to strip away language that complicates an already complex issue. With that in mind, I propose…

Addiction is a Spell
This Spell is a Lie
This Lie is a Belief

Let me explain.

Here are some of the three ways we look at this:

• The place of your birth: I spent years of my youth walking the streets of the island of Manhattan driven by a deep longing for belonging but without a guide to clarify my intentions.. This wRites exercise may help you just that.

• The place where you felt Home: I share a paragraph from the written post, which I later realized was part of my ongoing work in Soul Courting. Welcoming back a lost soul fragment—split off for survival due to TAHL (trauma, abuse, heartbreak, and loss)—is only the beginning. We must actively and continuously create a safe Home for this part. For me, that means providing a space where my 9- to 14-year-old self feels secure enough to stay. When I do, he returns with gifts only he can offer: innocence, wonder, passion, and heart-sourced curiosity, which infuses my present life with these powers and the deep recognition of their importance.

• The place where you are a guest right now: Wherever you are right now, how do interact with the spirits of this place? What is your relationship to the spirits of:

• Nature

• Elements

• Trees

• Mountains

• Bodies of water

• Guardians

• Thresholds

• Ancestors—familial, tribal, national

• Ghosts

• Deities

• Holy teachers

• Taboos

• Gateways to the Lowerworld and Upperworld

Join me as we explore how important it is to bring a guest’s humility to, and the expression of gratefulness for, being taken care of by the inhabitants and the Spirits of This Place.

Here are a few topics that are in addition to what’s covered in the written post:

• Modern society’s promotion of the inability to listen to and maintain a relationship with spirit

• How our spiritual sensitivities are clouded and blocked by the shouting from our screens

• What if we swapped the words “truth” and “spirit” in conversation?

• Exploring how writing to, from, and merged with spirit is a different experience than engaging in regular writing prompts

• An advantage of being an addict in recovery is that we know where the line is because we’ve crossed it so many times in active addiction

• By crossing the line, we understand and remember the clear difference between being in control and being out of control

  ---

In the new year of 2025, The Sober Shaman will focus on the two experiential spiritual exercises that set this work apart:

• Shamanic wRites

• Medicine Drum Journeys

Since both the written posts and podcasts will explore these two exercises, I’m inviting anyone interested in collaborating to reach out. Ways to participate could include:

• Sharing what you received from the writing or journey exercises

• Proposing a writing prompt or offering a place in Non-Ordinary Reality to take a Medicine Drum Journey to that explores a recovery, mental health, and/or spiritual topic of concern

• Discussing how these exercises have worked for you, or, if you’re a medical or mental healthcare professional, how they’ve worked for your clients. This could be in a written Q&A format, a recorded Zoom session, or even through the new Substack live option.

This series showcases personal stories of addiction recovery and sobriety. Today’s edition features, Randal Lyons, Doctor of Chinese Medicine and shamanic practitioner whose spiritual, integrative program of addiction recovery has been implemented in holistic clinics, premier treatment centers, and his private practice. You can access the online version of The Program through his newsletter, The Sober Shaman.

When and how did you get sober?

The when is July 17, 1994. And the how is simply that I had just had enough. After countless attempts to quit and many relapses, what changed this time was a clear and unwavering decision to quit. Boom. That’s it. I wasn’t going to try—I just did.

I knew that if this was really going to work, I had to relinquish all the slippery people, places, and things—which made up about 90 percent of my life as a rock ‘n’ roll guitar player trying to make it in LA.

The only other things I had going for me, which were keeping me alive during the insanity, were my study and practice of Chinese martial and medical arts, along with my spirituality.

Neither of those offered clear or well-defined pathways for getting and staying sober, but I knew they worked for me. The passion I had previously poured into making music—and the fire that had fueled my cravings to use—was now redirected into my curiosity about how this medicine could help me and, later, others.

What was the turning point in your decision to get sober?

I would call it the tipping point rather than a turning point. In the moment I made “the decision,” I felt the full weight of 17 years’ worth of using and its consequences tip over into conscious awareness.

It wasn’t any one thing or a lightning-bolt moment of understanding. It was the felt accumulation of all the wasted time. For whatever reason, that was—and remains—my pain.

This pain still serves me to this day, because whenever I’m engaged in an activity that could be judged as wasting time, I’m brought into the present moment. And this is the practice: I breathe, relax, and observe from an objective view what the next right thing is. Usually, it involves stopping whatever activity I was doing, because it indeed was “enough of that.”

What surprised you about getting sober?

What surprised me the most was that I was able to give up playing music as easily as I did. I had such a deep connection between my addiction and my playing that I knew I couldn’t stay in that field. That part was obvious.

But the good that I received from music, which I would call soul nourishment, led me to be surprised by the possibility of finding new ways to get the same medicine.

For example, when I wrote music, it was always a collaborative jam. There’s nothing better than riding a groove, being carried by its current, and, in all aspects of the phrase, playing together. This was experimentation, without judgment, in which we responded to each other’s input with, “Yes, and…then, what if…?”

Later on, armed with a degree, a medical license, and a bunch of acupuncture needles, I could drop into a group at an addiction treatment center and do exactly the same thing. But instead of hitting a chord to elicit a band member’s response, I could throw out a question like, “What’s stronger: belief or reality?” and the room would quickly divide into sides, the discussion rolling, and the current of exploration, learning, and insight in motion. And now, I can add healing to that list—and yes, this was, and continues to this day to be, surprising, as well as exciting and inspiring.

What’s the biggest challenge you’ve encountered on your recovery journey?

I’d say there have been two challenges. First, because I was a man of more and addicted to faster, louder, sharper, let’s-keep-this-train-a-rolling ridiculousness, there’s still a part of me that holds these beliefs and suggests that sticking my finger in the nearest light socket is a good idea. You know, just for the feeling of it—just for ol’ time’s sake.

Quite simply, this is when I allow feelings to completely override all sense of logic and reason. A freight train of feeling has always provided enough of a jolt to ignore whatever reality I’m avoiding.

So, the big challenge is recognizing when that belief is offering its opinion—disguised as passion, excitement, or something I totally deserve—and seeing it for what it is. Most often, I say, “Thanks. Great idea. But instead, I’m just going to do this boring, next right thing over here.”

The other big challenge has been with my spirituality. It’s hard walking a path of practicing core shamanism, especially as the teachers lie on the other side of the veil in non-ordinary reality. So, finding other people who know the language, the medicine, and the ins and outs of this work is not so easy. After all, it’s not like being able to look up the nearest Roman Catholic Church and drop in on a service.

What are the biggest benefits or gifts of sobriety?

While there are so many obvious and powerful benefits of sobriety and how it affects health, wealth, and happiness, of course, the biggest gift is my relationship with the Love of My Lifetimes and simultaneously ex- and current wife, Dr. Dana Leigh Lyons—which in no way could have happened or been maintained if I were anywhere near active addiction.

And while a close and meaningful relationship is easy to identify as the biggest gift, it also serves as a reminder of the big gift of appreciation and gratitude for exactly what I’ve got, right here and right now, in this exactly perfect form, showing up exactly as the way things are.

What words of advice would you give someone who’s considering sobriety or newly sober?

Stop searching. Start trusting. Trust what you already know to be true. “Answers” are not found “out there” somewhere. Rather, they are listened to as what I call “the truth that resides in your bones.” This truth speaks of the next right thing to do and reminds you that you are completely deserving of all the best this world has to offer.

They want to know, “What will it do for me?”

There are certain perspectives that viewing life through a spiritual lens can provide, which can be used to one’s advantage. But first, we need to confront the baggage carried into the present. For many of us:

The problem is that we’ve been conditioned to believe what spirituality should be, rather than discovering for ourselves what it can be.

Listen in above as we explore some of the wonders that spiritual medicine can offer.

When science and spirit are positioned as opposites and set against one another, the resulting tension can be overwhelming. 

Whether this is an internal battle or a conversation between two people, organizations, or businesses, the either-or, win-lose setup stretches our stress muscles.

We all get this and instinctively know we’ve got to honor—or at least hear out—both sides of the argument.

But let’s face it, when the head hears one-liners like:

• Follow your bliss.

• Listen to your heart.

• Chase your passion.

• Do what you love.

It cringes.

And when the heart is corralled and led down chutes of:

• Just the facts, please.

• Follow the science.

• Listen to the logic.

• Do the next thing on the list.

It shrivels.

So, how do these two forces within us reconcile with each other?

Join us as we explore this question—be it for your recovery, personal relationships, or even your business and career. We cover…

A Push-Pull Problem with a Yin-Yang Answer:

• Science wants control.

• Spirit wants surrender.

These feel very different:

• The mind pushes.

• The heart is pulled.

Transformation:

• Surrender becomes listening.

• Control becomes personal responsibility.

Regardless of where you find yourself on the path of recovery - whether it’s looking to make that first big leap into sobriety, or keeping things rolling in the early stages, or even if you’ve got some time under your belt and hit a plateau, have you, like me, at some point wondered:

“It feels like something is missing.”

This inner gnawing arises and persists despite the many effective therapies and modern approaches that carried us this far. We keep doing all the usual-next-right-things and they continue to deliver all of the usual-next-right-results, but they don’t speak to this voice emanating from the Void and telling us we’re not quite getting all of it.

So, what exactly is missing? 

A spiritual solution

There’s no chemical solution to a spiritual problem.

This is a popular recovery saying that speaks to the fact that taking a pill will not fix concerns of the spirit.

I agree. Let’s take it a step further and allow me to propose…

There’s no thought-solution to a spiritual problem. 

This speaks to the fact that we also cannot think our way into fixing concerns of the spirit.

So, if we cannot use a pill or think our way into arriving at this spiritual solution how exactly do we go about doing it and what exactly does this look like?

Well, let’s get more complicated before we make it very, very simple.

I know, I listened to plenty of professionals and experts who told me what I should, needed and had to do.

So, I did. And yet…something was still missing.

For me back then, as well as with the people I work with now, this is the spiritual component. And by that I do not mean some woo-woo ambiguity or an inventory of thou-shalt-not-do-these-things-list, no, instead this is a feeling from deep within, which resonates as a rock-solid knowing of the truth. This is what needs to be acknowledged, listened to and understood.

This is what needs to be trusted.

And when you do this, it affords you access to, and the ability to receive benefits from, the realm of spirit. 

This is exactly what we do here at The Sober Shaman. We make the spiritual practical. We follow a detailed map of the path ahead, which guides you step-by-step through every exercise. You arrive back from your journey with the information, knowledge and healing power that applies to your personal situation.

This one is all about feeling. And just like the feelings that drove us during active addiction, the ones that arise from digging into the roots of investigative recovery can be overwhelming.

Because when a feeling overtakes us and we follow like a lemming, it can lead us right off the cliff.

The flip side also has drawbacks because when we control the feeling following a path of logical structure and/or medicative numbness, we can end up in a suspended state of safety that turns into a life of flatness.

How do we reconcile this?

And at the same time, I understand the other side, too.

So, which is it? Is relapse a tool to be used in one’s recovery or is it a built-in justification for another trip around the cycle?

In today’s episode of The Sober Shaman, we’ll be taking a look at the one valuable insight that a Yin Yang philosophical perspective can provide to help make a relapse the absolute last one.

Here’s an outline of our talk:

Intro to Yin Yang

Points:

• Relapse is not part of recovery, it’s part of reinforcing the pattern

• Relapse is just a yo-yo reaction into active addiction after a period of successful recovery

• Get this insight and get off the cycle

Yin Yang’s first two Rules

• They are opposites

• They are dependent upon each other

Good vs Bad

• Energies vs Judgements

The problems are…

• We think we can eliminate The Bad

• We think these are our only two choices

• Do our closest relationships understand? 

The solutions are…

• There is another way

• Characteristics and names

• Apply Yin Yang

• Identify who’s in charge?

No, this kind of choice is an immovable object.

This kind of choice is an agreement with spirit, a covenant with God, and, if you’re an atheist, it’s a partnership with Truth itself. 

Until you make this choice, the big problems in recovery will keep resurfacing, increasing the chance of relapse.

In this episode of The Sober Shaman Podcast, we’ll examine what makes this choice different, why it’s imperative for successful recovery, and what it takes to make the decision.

I would like to thank for his post, “I Could Relapse,” in which he recalls a Smart Recovery Group that stuck with him. Adam introduces the Fire Triangle, which consists of oxygen, heat, and fuel, and explains how it’s an analogous model for the Relapse Triangle, which consists of opportunity, cravings, and choice. Great stuff.

It had me nodding along in agreement and had my brain humming in harmony with truths that ring like bells.

I experienced this resonance because this choice was what finally pushed me over the line separating addiction from recovery.

Until I made this choice, I was always “trying,” “attempting,” “implementing a new method,” etc., which was frustrating, exhausting, and just set me up for another go-around of the cycle.

These days, I have more clarity about the dynamics and logistics that go into this choice, and the language I use to help others make the same choice for themselves.

Do you know someone who’s struggling with addiction and hasn’t yet made this choice?

It’s not easy. Leave a comment below or shoot me an email, spirit@randallyons.com, with your questions or thoughts.

• The people we love

• The places we love

• The invisible beings and forces that we love (however your belief system perceives them)

In the West, right relationship has been decimated because we’ve lost our relationship to the sacred. Specifically, this appears in:

• Language

• Listening

• Abilities that connect us to receive knowledge and healing power from spirit/the divine

In this episode, we’ll explore how The Spirits of Colonialism played their part in making this happen and how they continue to perpetuate themselves through the insidious practice of turning the victim into the perpetrator. 

Episode Notes

• Engaging with The Spirits of Colonialism, like all addictions, creates results where everybody loses.

• These results perpetuate themselves by turning victims into perpetrators.

Examples:

• The Roman Empire’s method: conscripting the conquered

• The English Empire’s method: the Welsh Knot and the Irish Stick

Everyone’s just trying to survive:

• Diaspora, immigration, running from and running towards

• My family’s story from the Italian Piedmont to Ellis Island and Patterson, New Jersey

Television Series: “Who Do Your Think You Are?”

The Sober Shaman Program

Examining our family history often provides information about our ancestors’ painful encounters with The Spirits of Colonialism. For many, this is the awareness needed to help break the cycle of addiction.

The following lessons from The Sober Shaman Program guide you through that process:

Either way, these events hold meaning, power, and a personal kind of magic in them. This is why, back in my days of active addiction, I chased them in pursuit of more.

Now in recovery, “more” can happen through clean intention, sacred ritual, and right action. 

In this episode of The Sober Shaman Podcast, we explore exactly how to do this and start from a place of:

1. Removing the excess

2. Learning to listen

3. Merging with spirit

This is Big Medicine for our times, for our health, and for helping to break the cycle of addiction once and for all.

Do you have a synchronicity that you know in your bones was spirit communicating with you? I’d love to hear about it in the comments!

This doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. But, for people struggling with addiction and anxiety, it can’t help but poke at the Wound. 

And there’s more. Because the Spirit of Should uses this opening to remind us that right here, right now, “I am not good enough.”

This is the belief that keeps someone plugged into the cycle of addiction.

This is what feeds and sustains the Spirit of Should.

This episode of The Sober Shaman podcast explores:

• How the Spirit of Should operates

• Where it comes from

• How we invited it in (similar to vampire stories)

• Practical steps to dismantle our relationship with it

I also discuss the following chart of the Four Aspects: mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical. For each aspect, I’ve listed its associated domain and medicine.

This includes lies they’ve told others as well as ones they’re telling themselves—untangling the two can get complicated.

In today’s podcast episode, I discuss one method for freeing ourselves from The Web of Lies. Through the practice of shamanic journeying, it offers medicine in the form of awareness, experience, and practical spirituality.

Basics, examples, practice

If you’re new to shamanic journeying and want to learn the basics, find them here: The Shamanic Journey and Addiction Recovery - Part 1.

If you’d like to hear an example of what a journey might look like, give a listen to today’s podcast at the video link above.

And if you’re ready to undertake the Medicine Journey to The Web of Lies for yourself (without my voice guiding you), here’s an audio drumming file and some follow-up questions:

Questions

Write down the answers to these questions upon your return:

• Did you feel called to travel to the UpperWorld (UW) or LowerWorld (LW)?

• Describe the place of your entrance into the UW or LW?

• Was this a new place or known place?

• Who did you meet?

• Were they new or known?

• When you asked to be taken to The Web of Lies, how did you get there?

• What did The Web of Lies appear to you as?

• What were your first impressions?

• Did it feel familiar?

• What information did you get?

• Was there anything that you needed to do?

• If so, did you do it? How’d it go? Do you need to follow up in Ordinary Reality? Who can help? What do you need to do?

• What did you learn from this Medicine Journey to The Web of Lies?

Back to you.

If you participated in the Medicine Journey using the above audio, how’d it go? What did you receive?

If you’d like to share any insights, medicine, and power you received during your journey to The Web of Lies (or thoughts on today’s podcast), I’d love to hear. Please share in the comments.

It’s as though one part of you is listening to another part tell it. You’re judging the words as they come out of your mouth. You’re evaluating how the person you’re telling receives it.

When the lie is “successful,” you say to yourself, “Whew! Looks like they’re buying into it. Let’s keep this going.”

What does that feel like? 

What does that do to you?

What are the ramifications for your health?

Let’s explore.

Lesson 11 of The Program explores the subject of Truth vs. Lies in detail. As with all 52 Lessons, it includes:

• PDF Workbook

• 3 Instructional Videos

• Guided Medicine Journey

• Shamanic wRites Exercise

• 3 Points - Summary PDF

• Notes from the Lab (for practitioners)

To accompany this podcast episode, I’m including the first Medicine Journey from this Lesson for free. That way, you can get a feel for the power of this work and decide whether you’d like to go deeper.

To keep this viscous cycle of untruth rolling, an active addiction must keep the light of awareness, honesty, and truth from entering into one’s consciousness and reality.

This can leave someone feeling like they’re stuck in a fog.

The path ahead is unclear, healthy options cannot be seen, help is ambiguous, fuzzy, and out-there-somewhere. 

In this episode, we’ll take a look at two case studies from my clinical practice, showcasing ways to cut through the fog, gain clarity, and accumulate the medicine of healthy experience. 

We’ll use a metaphor from Everyday Spy, which makes use of CIA training for everyday life.

We’ll also draw on the Traditional Chinese Medicine concept of Phlegm, and how it can mist, or fog, the orifices of the Heart.

Can you relate to the fog of lies?
