Meditation to help you quit cigarettes
Take slow, deep breaths.
When you exhale, you will notice tension and negativity leaving. As you inhale, you may feel the air as a bright force filled with life and energy.
Concentrate, or more accurately, be aware of your breathing. Be aware of the sensation of air going in and out through your nostrils or movement of your belly as you breathe. Try to breathe from your belly rather than from your lungs.
You may find you breathing slowing down as you relax more. Don't force this, just breathe normally.
Appreciate the fact that you are now extremely relaxed.
You my like to start by counting your breaths from one to ten. If a thought pertaining to the future or the past comes in to your mind observe it and go back to counting at number one. You may find it hard to get past number three or four at first but don't worry! This is just starting and it's already helping you.
Some people prefer to picture each number in their mind in detail. You may experiment and see which technique works better for you.
The human body takes in a lot of toxic substances through the air regardless of cigarette smoke. These toxins have to be released. One of the best ways of doing this is exhaling. With each breath that we take, we take in oxygen which goes to every cell of the body to make you work in the miraculous way you do.
Further along the line you may stop counting and just be aware of your breathing. You will start to feel very nicely relaxed and will concentrate for long periods of time. When you do this, congratulations, you have arrived!
You now have the most valuable resource. At any moment you may want to close your eyes and feel this way. When you want a cigarette, for example.
