HOW TO QUIT SMOKING BUDDHA-STYLE(this applies to any addiction of course.)"Once you lose consciousness, immediately the old habit will grab youand you will be in a hurry. If you smoke cigarettes, make it a very slowprocess, so slow that it becomes de-automatized. Otherwise, people arenot smoking cigarettes -- cigarettes are smoking people! They are notconscious of what they are doing. In a very unconscious way they puttheir hands into their pockets, take out the packet, the cigarette andthe matchbox. They are going through all these motions but they are notalert. They may be thinking a thousand and one things. In fact, whenthey are more unconscious they tend to smoke more. When they are more inanxiety, tension...worried, they tend to smoke more; that helps them tokeep a face as if they are relaxed. Make it a slow process. Take the cigarette packet out of your pocket asslowly as possible, as consciously as

possible. Slowing down theprocesses is very helpful. Then hold the packet in your hand, look atit, smell it, feel its texture. Then open it very slowly, as if you haveall the time in the world. Then take a cigarette out, look at thecigarette from all sides. Then put it in your mouth...wait! Then take the matchbox -- again gothrough those same slow movements. Then start smoking so slowly...takethe smoke in very slowly, let it out very slowly. And you will be surprised: if you were smoking twenty-four cigarettesper day you will be smoking only six at the most; it will be reduced toone-fourth. And slowly slowly, only two, one, and one day suddenly youwill find the whole thing so stupid! Still you can go on carrying thecigarette packet in your pocket for a few days, just in case -- but itis finished, de-automatized. This is one of Buddha's great contributions to the psychology of man:the process of

de-automatization, slowing down everything. Buddha usedto say to his disciples, 'Walk as slowly as possible, eat as slowly aspossible. Chew each bite forty times and go on counting inside: one,two, three, four, five -- forty times. When the food is no longer solid,it is almost liquid....' He used to say, 'Don't eat, but drink.' Thatmeans make it so liquid that you don't eat it, you have to drink it. Andhe helped thousands of people to become conscious. You are unconscious,although you believe you are conscious....That is like seeing a dream inwhich you think you are walking in the marketplace. You are awake inyour dream, but your awakenness in a dream is only part of the dream --you are unconscious." ~OshoFrom the web site: http://www.geocities.com/oshoflowering/do19.html PinkWytch
