Meditation Techniques For Smoking Cessation

You've tried to kick the habit time after time, only to find yourself smoking again. We all know smoking is bad for us; in fact, it's the leading preventable cause of death in the country. Some of us, however, just aren't ready to let go of the crutch. For many, smoking is a obsessive and reliable coping tool. The moment we experience a new emotion or face a long-time fear, we pick up a cigarette.

The best reason to quit smoking is to safeguard your health. In addition to causing heart disease, stroke, pregnancy complications, and more, smoking costs both you and your employer money in terms of healthcare costs and lost productivity. Quitting can also give a huge boost to your self-esteem. Every time you tell yourself you're going to quit and you don't, you damage your self-esteem. Fail enough times, and you start to believe you're completely powerless over cigarettes. You may even begin to feel that you're a person who can't set goals and achieve them in other areas of your life as well.

Smoking is hypnotic, and just as with any addiction, smoking addiction starts with the simple need to distract ourselves from the pain of past injustice and conscience. Once we become conditioned to relieve ourselves through smoking, a strong hypnotic bond to the physical act of smoking quickly develops.

Many people turn to hypnosis to quit smoking. Roy Masters has spent decades studying addiction and hypnosis. Early on he discovered that smoking--like any form of addiction--was nothing more than a form of hypnotic conditioning. He also discovered that because addiction is a form of hypnosis, that hypnosis cannot cure addiction, but at best offers only temporary, superficial relief from long-term, deep-seated problems that drive addiction.

To break this powerful hypnotic cycle, you only need to accomplish two things. First, become aware of how the act of smoking is operating through your emotions and thoughts in a simple but special way. Second, practice a daily commitment through meditation to resolve deep inner conflicts and starve the negative emotions that feed the urge to escape into distraction.

Through years of experience, Roy Masters has proved that meditation for awareness is an effective tool for overcoming nicotine addiction. Meditation also addresses the psychological factors that contribute to the cycle of addiction. When you resolve the root of the problem and teach yourself to react correctly to negative thoughts and emotions, you'll find yourself free of the addiction cycle.
