Firstly, I wish you love and health.

Another suggestion I have is the following meditation to break

> > addictive patterns:

> > >

> > > 1. Sit in a comfortable pose. Keep the spine and especially

the

> > first six lower vertebrae locked straight.

> > > 2. Make the hands into fists and extend the thumbs out

straight.

> > > 3. Place the pads of the thumbs on the temples at the sides of

> the

> > forehead, and find the niche where the thumbs just fit in

> perfectly.

> > > 4. Lock the back molars together and keep the lips closed.

> > > 5. Alternately press the molars together and then release,

just

> > like when you are biting down. You will feel a muscle moving in

> > rhythm directly under your thumbs. Keep a firm pressure on the

> > temples with the thumb pads.

> > > 6. The eyes are closed and turned up, looking towards the

third

> > eye

> > point.

> > > 7. With each pressure on the molars, silently vibrate the

> > sounds "Sa-Ta-Na-Ma" at the brow.

> > > 8. Continue five to seven minutes, breathing long and deeply

> > through your nose. With practice, the time can be increased up

to

> > thirty-one minutes.

> many

> > things, from smoking to eating, drinking, or drugs; and on a

more

> > mental level we are often addicted to acceptance, emotional

love,

> > and

> > even to thinking! All of these lead us to insecurity in our

> > behaviour and choices.

> > >

> > > The pressure form the thumbs in this meditation exerts a

current

> > into the central part of the brain. An imbalance here makes

> mental

> > and physical addictions seemingly unbreakable. This meditation

> will

> > correct this central brain imbalance, and is especially useful

for

> > someone who is attempting to rehabilitate from drug dependence,

> > mental illness, overeating, as well as phobic conditions.
