Do you tell yourself every day that you need to stop smoking? Meditation can be the help and support that you need to quit that habit.
A Yale University research study confirms the benefits of Mindfulness and mediation when it comes to quitting an addiction.
The research shows that 30% of people who practice meditation to quit smoking did not smoke a single cigarette in the first week of training, versus the 6% of people who used traditional methods to quit smoking.
An addicted brain is a brain with a great load of stress; it´s a brain that works too fast. Meditation gets the brain to relax and reduces the excess of its activity.
Most smokers know that tobacco is bad for their health; if they don’t quit, it´s because they don´t have the necessary means and tools to say no.
Meditation and Mindfulness will provide the necessary resources to quit smoking
Adaptable to new iPhone 5 and iPad Mini
This application will help you to:
Gain the willpower necessary to avoid tobacco
Calm down before smoking so your anxiety doesn´t control you.
Become aware of how disgusting tobacco smoke is (something the smoker has forgotten over time)
Avoid automation of smoking; you will quit smoking in “auto pilot”
