Meditation To Help Quit Smoking
Millions of Americans set out to quit smoking every day. They start out strong, and the moment they hit the first serious emotional obstacle, they find themselves out in the smoking section at work with an overwhelming sensation of relief. Unfortunately, that feeling of relief is followed by feelings of guilt, failure, and hopelessness.
Many people quit smoking for a few days, months or even years, only to find themselves smoking again. Smoking is a highly addictive habit. One of the main reasons so many people become addicted is mental conditioning. Stress arises, you smoke, and suddenly you're thinking about something else for a few minutes. Unfortunately, smoking a cigarette doesn't make your problems go away, and it never will.
The patch, nicotine gum, and even hypnosis may get a smoker through the symptoms of withdrawal. However, these are temporary solutions to an ongoing problem. If you're a smoker, you may actually feel a sense of relief the moment you make the decision to have a cigarette, and that sense of relief is the powerful hook that hypnotically bonds you to the cigarette. For most people, patches and gum are only substitute forms of relief, providing a false sense of spiritual peace and emotional calm. Until you find a way of achieving true peace of mind, you'll always be searching and enslaved to the relief of substitutes.
That's where meditation comes in. When you take time out of your schedule to properly calm your mind without escaping from pain and reality, you will not only reduce your anxiety levels, you will develop better coping skills by learning how to deal with stress rather than escape from it. "Be Still and Know" is a special anti-hypnotic meditation that will show you how to overcome stress and addiction without excuses, escapes or substitutes for inner peace.
As one of the world's foremost experts on hypnosis, Roy Masters understands the hidden links that create the urge to smoke as well as how to overcome the deep-seated anger, hurt, and hypnotic conditioning that drive addiction.
