If you have attempted to quit smoking before and failed, don't lose heart, there's a simple technique you can use to help you - meditation. Zen Buddhists have known the strength of meditation for thousands of years. You can easily learn and can help much you inside your efforts to free yourself from the dreaded weed.
Meditation is not only for Zen Buddhists it is for everyone. Thousands of people come fresh to meditation every year and relish the transformational benefits it can offer for a number of problems from mood disorders like depression and anxiety to drug addictions like smoking. Just in case you thought smoking would be a habit - you're wrong! It's drug addiction! Nicotine, the oily, colorless substance contained in cigarettes is the most addictive drug known to man. Overcoming this addiction can frequently require enormous perseverence and that is where Zen meditation can step in. By using the techniques of Zen Buddhist meditation you can improve your will power whilst simultaneously combating the stress, anxiety and depression that usually accompanies coming-off this horrendous drug.
Inner peace achieved through Zen meditation will get rid of the need to smoke and the cravings that the smoker suffers when trying to stop. Furthermore, the tranquil mind state achieved through the smoker through meditation very soon becomes preferable to the continual state of longing and agitation that he or she has been accustomed to and shortly finds it 's way into their everyday experience leaving them refreshed and relaxed in ways they probably never felt since becoming addicted.
Why you've didn't quit smoking successfully before will vanish whenever you successfully employ Zen Meditation. The reasons you previously filed to stop smoking was that you lacked something in your lifetime, that something is Zen Meditation.
It is only because of the way you are feeling which makes you smoke. Sop how you feel in your mind and you'll be in a position to quit smoking. How do you stop feeling the way I do? This is accomplished by utilizing Zen Meditation. Will Zen meditation do that? Yes, because by doing this you'll link to something spiritual called Zen which is a part of you that is more than the human part of you.
Western psychology has often depicted a persons as being involved in a struggle with deeper forces emanating from within - also known as the 'Ego'. In eastern philosophy, Zen especially, this duality is turned on it's head and instead of being analogous to a man riding a spirited horse, that he's little control, Zen states that we're in-fact the horse, not the rider. When it comes to smoking the rider is Nicotine addiction and he must be thrown from his mount!
In relation to addiction, Zen maintains that addiction is merely a form of attachment and that rather than freeing ourselves of attachment to 'things' we need to free ourselves of attachment to attachment itself.
A persons being consists of two parts. The ordinary human part that is weak and which is attached to smoking and then there is the other part which is special. You are not conscious of it greatly. Become aware of the other part of yourself that is filled with wonder and you'll be in a position to take care of the weak a part of yourself to be able to be together in peace and happiness throughout your life. I am happy.
