Can you really “permanently” stop smoking?

There is a profound difference between a smoker who has stopped smoking and a non-smoker. The smoker courageously resists having a cigarette, but the non-smoker can’t think of anything worse than smoking.

You’ve probably heard people who have quit smoking 10 years ago still say “Every time I have a beer or coffee I still want a cigarette” – if you are trying to stop smoking those are very disheartening words to hear!

But it simply means is that they only quit smoking at a conscious level - that is, they deliberately and consciously decided to stop, and stopped, and their abstinence is sustained only through their will power. However, subconsciously, smoking is still an attractive prospect for them, and that is where smoking needs to be tackled.

If you’re going to quit smoking, do it right!

There are a million and one ways to stop smoking – from nicotine patches and chewing gum, to tablets, lozenges, inhalers and Zyban, the stop smoking drug. In addition, there are plenty of people out there willing to tell you how to stop smoking - quit tips are everywhere. But they all miss one vital component - the subconscious mind.

If you are going to make the effort to free yourself from the terrible effects of smoking, why not do it right? Use a proper smoking cessation program that will leave you free of the desire to smoke.

Smoking Cessation Program

This program will gently move your mind from its current craving state to complete freedom from cigarettes.

You will no longer be controlled by the need to smoke. No more planning your day so you can smoke, no more running outside at work or at parties, no more worrying whether you have enough cigarettes left.

Smoking-cessation methods that treat smoking as an addiction (nicotine patches, nicotine gum, and so on) have a very low success rate, acknowledged to be around 23%. The makers of the drug Zyban state that the drug is only effective if it is taken in conjunction with ‘psychological intervention’.

A smoker’s mental state must be stable and requires will power to end the dependency. I deliberately call it a dependency and not an addiction. You have seen that an addict must take the drug in just enough amounts to temporarily satisfy the craving, but a smoker doesn’t. An effective treatment of smoking dependency must take into account this fact – that the smoker is not really an addict.

Yes, you heard right!

When many smokers are told during their smoking cessation program that they can keep smoking they are quite surprised:

“You continue to smoke while you progress through the program. You only quit when you don’t want to smoke anymore.”

Now, isn’t that easier on the smoker? Definitely! Does the smoker need to have extraordinary will power to break the habit? Of course not! By connecting the smoker with her sub-conscious she can identify the source of her habit, acknowledge it and then make the choice to stop smoking.

Consult a Hypnotherapist

For effective and permanent results, it is best that you consult and work with a qualified Hypnotherapist. Such a professional is well trained in helping you with your smoking dependency. It would be fruitless to attempt self-hypnosis with a flawed understanding and cause yourself frustration, and in the end find yourself still having not kicked that smoking habit.

EFFORTLESS MEDITATION
by Rich German

Recently Ive written a lot on the benefits of meditation. The benefits are truly vastmeditation is a wonder drug for both the mind and the body. In my opinion, it is a vital component to a healthy, vibrant, spiritually connected lifestyle. The benefits of meditation range from feeling more tranquility and inner peace through calming the mind to the ultimate benefit which is the experience of utter bliss and enlightenment.

Meditation is a tool and, like any tool, if you dont use it properly, you wont get the desired results. One of the most common questions Im asked by people is how to meditate. Most people seeking higher consciousness and self awareness realize the benefits of meditation yet many struggles when it comes to technique. The first question to consider is which method to practice and then to learn how to correctly practice it. There are many techniques to consider and all have desirable benefits.

I personally practice and teach Shaktipat meditation. Shakti refers to the life force energy that creates and sustains everything in the universe. It is the energy that beats your heart and rotates the planets. Shaktipat is the transmission of this life-giving energy. It is an easy third eye meditation in which you simply close your eyes and focus your attention on the point between your eyebrows. This activates the pituitary gland inside your brain which creates a very natural and soothing relaxation response.

The lineage of Shaktipat meditation dates back over 8000 yearsliterally before recorded history. It is an extremely powerful energy and when you tune in to it, you are directly tapping into the source of life itself. In deep meditation, one experiences the merging of their individual consciousness with the collective consciousness and feels the oneness of all that is. It is an incredibly liberating feeling and the beauty of it is how simple it is to do. In fact, there is no doing at all. Let me explain.

HOW TO MEDITATE

The only thing needed is the desire to connect with ones Self and an openness to receive the energy. Simply sit comfortably with your spine straight. Close your eyes and breathe in deeply. Feel the presence in and around you. Roll your eyes slightly up in your head and gaze into the point between your eyebrows (the third eye). Now just stay focused on the feeling between your eyebrows. By focusing on the feeling, the feeling naturally builds. At first you will feel more calm and peace. As the feeling increases, it is normal to feel joy and bliss. Ultimately, states of ecstasy can be reached.

Honestly, while it is easy to explain how to meditate, it is hard to put the feelings that occur into words. The best advice is to try it. For most people, it is easier to feel Shakti via a guided meditation from an experienced teacher.

The bottom line is that consistent meditation leads to a healthier mind and body. My belief is that we all have a soul that is pure and enlightened. Meditation is the ultimate tool to help purify the mind and the body to allow the light and love of your soul to shine through. If you are looking for increased health, energy, connection, peace and love in your life, Shaktipat meditation is wonderful solution.

Addiction Recovery - The key to Abstinence

Well, first let’s take a look at the addiction equation. The root cause of addiction is the emotional trauma caused by family dysfunction. The reason for choosing habitual behavior to mask that pain is a low level of coping skills. So, it would only stand to reason that the key to abstinence would be a higher level of coping skills. But, what exactly does it mean to possess a higher level of coping skills and how can you accomplish it? Well, to increase your level of coping skills means to increase your self-esteem. When you have a high regard for yourself and you love yourself addictive behavior becomes repulsive. But, how can you increase your self-esteem? First and foremost, you must learn to forgive yourself. Most people suffering from addiction find it very difficult to forgive themselves since they bare a burden of shame and guilt not only from their family dysfunction, but also from the pain their behavior has caused others. However, you can forgive yourself and you can learn to love yourself by curing wounditis. You have a choice! You can either continue to feel victimized or you can take a stand and refuse to self-incriminate yourself. You see, you have the same power as everyone else! You are no different! We are all but a grain of sand in the desert of humanity. We are all the same and we are all connected. Unfortunately, the majority of group recovery programs including the 12-step program are counterproductive to increasing self-esteem. The original Alcoholics Anonymous model requires one to admit that they are powerless over their addiction and to self-incriminate themselves by affirming their defects of character! This misguided and outdated approach makes it nearly impossible for anyone challenged by addiction to forgive themselves or to increase their self-esteem, which is a vital component to addiction freedom. My experience has taught me that admitting you are powerless does not promote empowerment and nor does it increase self-esteem. So, you do have the power to increase your self-esteem. But, self-esteem is not a commodity that you purchase, or a fruit that is plucked from a tree. Possessing self-esteem and merit for ones self is a product of self-love. To love yourself you must first forgive yourself, and second, you must embark on an inward journey to awaken your true authentic self and your own personal power. This is not only the key to abstinence, but it is also a bullet proof shield against the guns of addiction! To accomplish self-love and an increased level of self-esteem you must first liberate yourself from the dysfunction that caused your emotional pain. In many ways, this requires speaking ones will since it is not likely that you will achieve self-love if you don’t acquire your own self-respect!

Strength work out is a vital component of a woman’s health and fitness. Strength training is also called as struggle training or sometimes also referred to as lifting weights. But a lot of women are not aware of how to begin a strength training plan or how to choose strength tools for home work out.

Being healthy and fit is useful to one’s body in numerous ways. Being fit and healthy makes one’s body opposed to injuries, and speeds up the revival from injuries or improves the immunity. The cyclic nature of several jobs these days lead to strength training serious in preventing the workplace worn outs.

The profits of strength training are over and over again overshadowed by its work out cousins, the cardio vascular work-out and the modern flexibility and yoga. However, unlike stretching activities and aerobic, strength training is perhaps the most effectual usual method for increasing bone weight and preventing the dangerous disease like the osteoporosis.

Moreover, the majority of women can reduce many more calories by bracing weights than from cardio vascular (and far better than stretching or yoga) as it is less recognizable to their delicate bodies. The braveness needs one’s body to perform harder and to get out of one’s work out muscular boredom and calm zones.

Before you choose your work out tool, examine your needs properly.

Working out at your residence has both merits and demerits, all of which are dependent on your work out tool decisions. Firstly, judge when and where you will work out. For instance, if your program is to work out early in the dawn, you might be working out in a lit room upstairs.

In how much space do you plan to accommodate for your work out equipment?

If you exercise off your residence, then think utilizing a crumb of office room as you would do when at home for maintaining the gear of work out. You will be more willingly to utilize it all through the daytime, and provide yourself hale and hearty breaks, if your work out tool is easy to get to.

Further, reflect on your habits. Decide whether you favor to encase yourself with uncomplicated, condensed bare-minimums or do you like to prefer work out equipments with plenty of functions?
