This is an extract from an email from Franco de Stefano (name changed) who wrote to us recently about his problem with marijuana and pornography.

While not physically addictive – weed and porn create a heady cocktail that is hard to give up

“I have been smoking weed since I was 16. At first it was just once or twice a week. But it soon became more regular. Nowadays, it’s pretty much all day every day and I get through a frightening amount and it’s starting to get expensive.

I started looking at pornography regularly a bit later at 18 but this was when we got wireless broadband and I had a laptop I could take to my room. I think I used porn to cope with the bad feelings I feel or the negative emotions. Marijuana is exactly the same, it’s something to lift me up when I’m feeling down. However, I think I have used these unhealthy ways of dealing with bad things a bit too much.

And then when I was 18 I started going with prostitutes. I sometimes see a prostitute once a week but I try to cut it back to once or twice a month. It’s still something I feel bad about but it’s something I don’t seem able to stop. I don’t go out much as I don’t like to go outside when I’m stone as I get paranoid. But I manage to overcome the paranoid feelings in order to go with prostitutes.

I’ve dropped out of one college since leaving school I’m trying to get into another college and hoping to hell that going back to full time education is going to sort me out once and for all.

I will start at 10 smoking joint after joint and watching pornography and not stop until 10 in the evening.

I’ve broken up with two girlfriends, one after a 2 year relationship. I would love a girlfriend right now but I don’t feel capable of going with anybody while I have these habits.”

We would like to thank Franco for writing in to share these experiences with us.

What weed and pornography addiction can do to you

As we have repeatedly written on this site – we don’t want to tell anyone to stop smoking marijuana. We are here for people who want to give up weed. We also don’t want to get embroiled in the arguments about whether weed is addictive or not. Certainly for some people it isn’t. Certainly it isn’t physically addictive like alcohol or other drugs.

However, for certain people, weed does seem to be psychologically addictive and can quite quickly cause very depressive and repetitive actions to take hold and be extremely hard to quit. The watching and use of pornography for sustained periods is an example of one such action.

Again, we don’t want to be embroiled in an argument on the rights and wrongs of pornography. However, it seems certain that prolonged and repetitive use of pornography for long, long periods of time is bad for any human being’s self confidence.

Something that comes up again and again in the emails we receive is a lack of self-confidence or a lowering of self worth. This is usually expressed by young people at the prime of their lives who are frightened to go outside and lack the most basic of social skills for no other reason than a recreational drug habit.

Franco feels alone. He feels, understandably, that he can’t talk to his family about his problem. Like a lot of heavy weed-smokers he is gradually distancing himself from his family.

He feels stuck in a horrible repetitive cycle of depression and self-disgust.

What you can do about porn and marijuana overuse

You must first realise that this may be a slow process. You can try to just wake up one day and stop smoking weed and stop watching porn but it’s likely that your endorphine and serotonin levels will be so low which will cause depression from which you will seek an anti-dote – more weed and porn.

Try to wake up each morning and, before smoking that first spliff, sit down and spend some time alone with yourself for 5-10 minutes. Close your eyes, breathe deeply and learn to love yourself again.

Count your breaths from 1 to 10 and then start at 1 again. Try not to think of anything else but the breathing.

Then, when you are at your most relaxed state make positive and loving affirmations to yourself.

If you would like to know more about this then please enter your email address into the form below and I’ll send you some more information about meditation and self-hypnosis.

It can be easy to quit too. If you follow some simple tips and are willing to make changes, you can stop smoking weed and get back to living a healthy, happy and weed free lifestyle. There are a range of varied methods you can utilise to help you quit and you can find the benefits of some of them outlined below.

Planning

Before you begin, plan out what you’re going to do to help yourself quit in a journal, note pad or wall chart. If you set yourself visual goals and tasks, it is more likely you will be motivated to achieve them. Just as with structuring any goal, structure your approach to quitting marijuana, you’ll find that achieving the goals will give you a great sense of self worth and accomplishment, a feeling you may’ve lost touch with.

Meditation

Quitting weed can leave you feeling very stressed and seeing as this is often the cause of relapse, finding ways to neutralise this feeling is essential. Meditation is a great way to relax and centre your thoughts. There are many different ways to meditate including with music, so you can easily find a method that suits you. There are a variety of guides online to meditating or if you’d prefer to have some guidance, many gyms, health centres and community programs offer meditation classes.

Hypnosis and Self Hypnosis

It is hard to treat a mental addiction in the same way as a physical one, there is no marijuana patch to help reduce your cravings. Hypnosis and self hypnosis can be the answer to marijuana addiction. Many professional clinics offer a session or series of sessions where a professional will provide hypnotherapy, regarded by many as the most effective form of psychological intervention. If you feel you would rather try yourself, there are guides online that can help you, so research all you can and then see which method you think is right for you.

Hobbies and Activities

Quitting smoking weed will undoubtedly leave a large time gap in your life and you’ll need ways to fill it and keep boredom away. It’s likely you’ll find that once quitting you have a renewed interest in trying new experiences and hobbies. Try taking up a sport or craft you’ve always wanted to learn; exercise is especially good as it is healthy and causes us to release endorphins. Pick up reading again, without weed clouding your mind you’ll find you can concentrate for longer and enjoy soaking in information and entertainment.

Support Groups

Meeting and talking with a group of likeminded individuals can be of immeasurable help, just knowing others who are going through the same problems as you can help motivate you to keep weed free. Search for local community groups that deal with addiction and find one that is right for you.

Meditation has innumerable health benefits and you don't have to sit in a funny position to do it!

Stress manifests in many different ways. Whether you feel tension in your joints, whether you have an emotional outburst that you immediately regret, whether you seem tired even after a full night of sleep, your endocrine system is telling you that it needs to be soothed.

Oftentimes, this will have you reaching for a bag of weed or to phone your dealer. But next time, realise there is another way – and it’s cheaper!

Hormones released by stress, especially adrenaline, are meant to improve physical performances and overcome obstacles, but if you do not allow a vent for this stress is takes a toll on your body. In moments of stress your adrenaline will increase blood pressure for more muscle capability: great if you need to run quickly or lift a heavy object, but harmful over a longer span.

Meditation serves as a means of reducing the stresses upon your mind, which in turn exert less demands from your body. Meditation is not the same as REM sleep but is similar to the moments of relaxation after intense exercise: you find your blood pressure dropping and the tension within your muscles feeling better. The change is not only physical: you notice more details as your pupils take in more light, while the increase in oxygen to the brain gives you a positive sense of mind.

When a person is in a deep state of meditation, their body begins to go through a natural healing process of putting more oxygen through the bloodstream, rather than simply increasing the rate of blood flow. Oxygen is the key to every aspect of human life and the more of it that our body uses, the healthier we are. Deeper breaths create an efficiency in the circulatory system that cannot be matched by anything short of high-duration cardiovascular exercise. As your breathing deepens, it also slows, as it would while falling asleep. Yet unlike falling asleep, the brain is not shutting off: you should be able to perceive details, such as the sound of running water or the feel of small air currents. At this point, stress hormones begin to drop due to the abundance of oxygen. After as little as ten to fifteen minutes, they may fade entirely from the bloodstream. At this point, the body relaxes fully.

Eliminating stress hormones creates a wide number of benefits. The health advantages of meditation go as far as helping to lose weight, given that the elimination of hormones like cortosol will keep your metabolism in check by consuming outer layers of fat for energy. The system, furthermore, keeps a person in a regulated system as they want to return to continue their meditation practice. With the calm feeling of meditation comes better mind, soul, and body.

The Mighty Oak Training Program to Stop Smoking Marijuana

98.7% Success Rate!

All successful training courses have one thing in common – testing. This course has been painstakingly researched and tested on real people with real weed addictions.

After endless changing and tweaking the course currently enjoys a 98.7% Success Rate! And there are some glowing testimonials:

“I was smoking weed for 10 years … but I couldn’t stop. I had tried other methods to stop smoking weed but they didn’t work. Your program helped me discover the reason behind my marijuana addiction and then taught me new ways to deal with them.”

“I felt like I needed weed all the time. It was ruining my life and I just couldn’t stop on my own. Until I found your program.”

These are heart-wrenching stories that I am familiar with. I get emails everyday from desperate people who want to quit marijuana but don’t know how. It’s great to finally read some success stories!

Mighty Oak Stop Smoking Marijuana training course

The training course is offered by one William Jones, a life coach with a history of marijuana addiction, drug busts and numerous failed attempts to quit. He had even tried Narcotic Anonymous’s 12 step program and, although he’d felt uneasy during the treatment, he’d still successfully quit cannabis for 9 long months before relapsing, again!

William Jones finally succeeded in his quest to stop smoking weed after having contacted Ben Gladden, a certified addiction treatment specialist.

It was Ben’s advice, plus research into other 12-step programs, that gave William the information and education needed to be able to create the Mighty Oak Stop Smoking Marijuana program.

So, what’s in the training course?

The training course consists of three main modules: Introduction, Principles and Training.

Introduction

The introduction focuses on will power, being a combination of self-control and self-discipline. And these two elements can be further sub-divided making four quadrants: self-reliance, self-determination, self-regard and self-respect. And these four personal qualities have a symbiotic relationship. Strengthening one area can lead to an increase in an other. And one must nurture all four quadrants to improve one’s will.

Principles

There are many courses within the personal development scene that put an accent on having a plan and the second main module of the course sets out some rules and principles that will give you a plan of action.

One of the main keys into unlocking an addiction is monitoring. I always like to write about the importance of watching one’s thoughts. Huge breakthroughs can be made when one watches the thought processes that lead to positive or negative assumptions.

The course explains in great detail how the wrong assumptions can be reached due to lack of information or how incorrect feelings or actions can come about as a result of the wrong stimuli. The course teaches our minds to become aware of negative and dangerous stimuli that can cause us to contemplate succombing to our addictions. This is practical and actionable advice that will be of great benefit to the long-term weed smoker.

Training

The third module of the training program is where it really comes into it’s own. This is a day-by-day, week-by-week breakdown of what you must do in order to stop smoking weed.

Here are some examples of exercises set out on various days in the training programme:

• look at yourself in the mirror and give yourself a compliment
• hold your head up and look someone in the eyes and smile
• drink plenty of water
• try to learn something new
• help someone

… and many more. These little tasks on specific days will all add up to point your personal calendar towards your first day without marijuana.

How to Stop Smoking Weed

The Mighty Oak course is extremely clever. I had to read it through a few time before I could spot the rhythm and the reason behind all the little hints and advices that William puts into it.

The course is aimed to subtly increase your confidence and happiness so that smoking marijuana becomes totally unnecessary and futile. You will actually not want to smoke another joint if you do everything in this course.

But there are extra stings in the tail! William introduces psychological framing techniques to allow you to face temptation and resist as a result of powerful visualisations. These methods are familiar to anyone who has been exposed to NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).

There are extra motivation exercises, extra willpower replenishers, extra distractors. No stone is left unturned so that you are 110% ready to face the world without weed.

What else is in the course?

This isn’t all! There is also a toolkit that contains coping strategies, distractors, questionnaires, etc., these are referred to in the main body of the course and are helpful life-hacks in their own right!

Would you recommend the course?

Yes, I would definitely recommend the Mighty Oak Stop Smoking Marijuana course to anyone who needs help quitting weed.

It is extremely thorough, well-thought out and painstakingly well-researched. If I’d found this course 20 years ago, how different would my life be now?! Well, it’s no good thinking that now!

All I can do is to recommend it to you guys! Get the course as this will give you some much needed structure to your efforts in quitting weed!

As always, I welcome your comments about this review in the comments section.

If you would like to quit smoking weed writing it down on a piece of paper is sometimes helpful

Here is a typical email I’ve had from a visitor to this site:

“I can’t seem to quit weed. I’ve tried the breathing exercises but unfortunately they don’t seem to last longer than a few days. Then I get really stressed out and I really need to smoke.

I just can’t seem to get past the first few days. I’ve stopped before for a week with hypnosis but got really stressed and went back to smoking. It’s really starting to worry me as I am not enjoying it anymore but just can’t seem to get away from it.

Do you have anymore tips that may help with my addiction?”

Yes, we can help you!

First of all, you’re already half way there!

There are a number of clues in the above email that confirm that this individual is already well on his way to leading a happy, straightforward, weed-free life.

• He has obviously gone for extended periods without weed on a few occasions – if he’s done this once, he can do it again, each time making the quit last longer until he frees himself from the habit
• He has obviously stopped enjoying it – this always happens before someone quits smoking weed, they stop enjoying it. The paranoia, the isolation, the agoraphobia – it’s just not fun anymore. The novelty has worn off. Time to move on. Time to quit weed.
• He’s trying hypnosis. If you would like to try my method to stop smoking weed sign up for my free e-book and MP3 at the bottom of the page here.

If you’ve already quit weed and relapsed that’s a good thing!!! Don’t stop now. You’ve proved to yourself you can do it, even if it was for a few days, now you can try again and see if you can make it for a longer period.

In the meantime, all these episodes of reduced cannabis intake will help you quit the next time and you are much more likely to be successful. So, don’t give up quitting!

Keep on keeping on!

The problems our friend is describing above are extremely common. The great thing is that he has a desire to change. This means that the real person inside him is fed up of smoking and wants to quit. It may require a number of attempts to push him “over the hill” onto the other side where things will be easier.

What he needs is to experience a positive result from his efforts. If he gives up for a few days again and starts to notice some good things happen – which they will, it just takes time – this will give him the encouragement he needs to keep going.

So the next time you give up weed, try to fill the void with something you like doing, eating, music, reading, exercise, anything. Eventually your conscious mind will understand you’re better off without it and then you will stop craving. This breakthrough can be quite sudden – you just don’t know when it’s going to happen.

You just have to keep at it. No one ever succeeded the first time. And it’s different for everybody.

But meanwhile these episodes of quitting will do you good.

What about you?

Have you quit smoking weed for a few days only to relapse and beat yourself up about it? If so, don’t be so hard on yourself.

I would love to know what you think. Please let me know in the comments section below.

Marijuana use can undoubtedly cause agoraphobia

Many people can be found on the internet desperately searching for help for themselves or a friend because prolonged use of cannabis has caused “cocooning” as well as severe problems interacting with the outside world.

There is a theory that the active ingredient in marijuana, Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), depletes your body of dopamine which then produces anxiety.

It doesn’t sound a very cool thing to say but I am sure that dope causes reduction in the memory, intellectual and social capacities of certain individuals.

Too much of a good thing can cause young people with seemingly everything to live for to be withdrawn and have problems interacting with others, especially those who do not share their marijuana habit.

Listen to this:

I started smoking in school aged 15. Right before that, I was making friends, dating girls, doing “normal” things. Then, after I started smoking weed, everyone I knew was a pothead, and my life would revolve around cannabis.

At first it was fun all the time, but I soon became extremely anxious when high. I’d also become very self conscious, and I would basically be like a statue when really stoned. Eventually, I started feeling depressed when I wasn’t messed up.

Sound familiar?

Many smokers are actually in denial saying things like:

“It depends on the individual. I can handle it.”

“I smoke everyday but I could quit anytime”

“Smoking weed is good for you. It doesn’t have any negative effects.”

“The government doesn’t want us to smoke because it wants to control our minds.”

Whereas the sad truth is that no-one is more brainwashed than a pothead.

Marijuana matters

Smoking can reportedly help you if you have cancer, Alzheimers, Parkinsons or a host of neurological deseases. But if you don’t have any of these deseases, smoking weed everyday is likely to do you more harm than good.

Please be aware that this site is not a place to persuade people against cannabis use. We are happy for everybody to make their own mind up about the drugs they do take and do not take.

If you want to carry on smoking weed – go ahead, do it!

However, a lot of people smoke cannabis everyday and are NOT happy about it and they are the ones we have created this site for.

Years of chronic cannabis use can affect you. But listen to this from the same person as above:

After about 5 years of denial, I quit smoking weed, and its amazing the difference you feel after a couple months of abstaining. Your brain starts to “correct” itself, back to the state it was intended to be: sober.

There does seem to be a “denial” problem with many weed smokers. But, online one is anonymous and free to search or read anything at all. For this reason, it is interesting to see that hundreds of thousands of people search online for information about the problems of cannabis and how to stop smoking weed.

If you have a problem with weed, you’re not alone and we’re here to help. A lot of people will say that it’s impossible to be addicted to cannabis – maybe it is, maybe it isn’t.

One thing that we can say for sure is: there are a lot of people who are worried about the amount of weed they take and are looking for ways to stop or to cut down.

If you think you may be smoking too much weed and you’re not enjoying it then feel free to pop your email in the box below. I will send you some stuff that will help.

Communication is key with a loved one who has a bad marijuana habit

The answers are quite different from the advice you can get here about how to stop smoking weed.

Don’t play the self-righteous card

Don’t warn your loved one of the hazards of smoking reefer. The chances are that most cannabis smokers know that it:

• is bad for their health
• causes short term memory loss
• elicits fear, panic attacks and intense feelings of paranoia
• can have an all-round long term detrimental effect on their life

The problem is that they know that and they already have decided that, despite the negative effects of smoking pot, they still want to light up joints and get high.

In order to continue with an addiction, you have to lie to yourself, ignore the evidence of your senses and carry on indulging in a negative activity regardless. The chances are that your loved one isn’t stupid. They know. It’s the contradictions in human beings that make us all so interesting!

Communication

It is very important that you try to talk to the smoker about their habit without arousing their suspicions as to your motive.

Try to ask questions about the benefits to them of smoking weed. Even this subject may antagonise them sometimes. If it does, let it go.

However, some smokers may agree that they need to stop smoking weed, in which case you can try to talk to them about what is bad about it.

Either way, the conversation should be more about listening than it should be about talking. The power of argument and reason is severely limited in this area.

Persuade by example

There’s no way you can tell someone to stop smoking weed. But you can show someone to stop smoking weed.

If you read some of the articles on this blog about how to stop smoking cannabis, you will find that I used self-hypnosis and meditation to stop. This new positive habit led me to a virtuous circle of exercising more, eating better and taking up more constructive hobbies.

All of these new experiences made me feel better and therefore the chances of me relapsing were severely reduced.

These life-changing positive habits don’t have to be confined to those battling with addiction! You can try them as well.

So read more challenging books, go out more, take more exercise, indulge yourself in different hobbies that interest you. Why? Because these are the things that weed completely robs from the people who have a bad cannabis habit. If you smoke all day in a way that is very negative, the first thing that goes is your spirit of childlike inquisitiveness, your spark of life, your joie de vivre, your ability to get up and go and try something new!

How to get someone to stop smoking weed

Your loved one is more likely to see what they’re missing if someone shows them rather than tells them!

What do you think?

Do you live with someone who has a weed habit that is detrimental to their health? What is the best way to help them achieve their potential?

Weed can be psychologically addictive that quitting it can be challenging

Weed may not be very physically addictive – there are none of the acute withdrawal symptoms you get with quitting heroin or alcohol – however the psychological addiction to cannabis maybe even more of a challenge.

I’m not lecturing, by the way. If you like smoking weed – that’s fine by me. But, if you’ve had enough of rolling up spliffs and getting blasted everyday, here are some ideas on how you can attack the cravings and live a happy and successful life without weed.

Work out how much a year you spend on weed

Be honest! How often do you buy the stuff? Every week? How much do you spend? About $50? That’s over two and half grand a year – you could have bought a car with that. OK, maybe a not a decent car, but it’s a substantial amount of money.

Write a journal

When you encounter a big change in your life it’s really good to get your ideas on paper. You’ll be outside a comfort zone for a while and it’ll be important to keep grounded in some way and writing some from of diary is a great idea. Better still, set up a free blog at WordPress.com and do it digitally!

Write down the advantages and disadvantages of cannabis

And, while you’re in the writing mood, it’s a good idea to jot down the reasons you started smoking weed and why you continued to become a regular user of cannabis. This will help you discover why it became a big thing in your life and how you can get on without it.

Then write down all you hope to achieve in the months and years to come. Picture yourself in the future being free of having to smoke weed everyday – what will you be doing once the marijuana haze has gone?

Discover new hobbies

As you have found out – taking away cannabis can leave a large hole in your life. You’re going to need hobbies – lots of them. I don’t mean stamp collecting and needle point but you will find your mind opening up without pot so there will be room for more interests in your life.

And the more you practice these pastimes, the less likely you are to start smoking weed again. So, get creative! Remember some old forgotten hobbies you enjoyed before the weed habit took over. Get sporty! Exercise is the very best thing you can be doing. It releases endorphins, makes you feel better about yourself and it’s healthy! Get cooking! Your taste buds will come alive (because of giving up smoking, not because of munchies!) so you should experiment with healthy cooking. Discover new whole foods that you’ve never tasted before and savor the time you spend eating. Enjoy every mouthful, every chew!

Read! After a few days without marijuana you will find that your concentration improves and therefore your interest in books will increase and you’ll read more and learn more.

Relax with meditation and self-hypnosis

After giving up weed you may be a little on edge. Meditation can help you quit smoking weed. You can try yoga, breathing exercises, even self-hypnosis. Spending time healing your mind instead of ingratiating your body is a great thing to do.

Realise it’s not your fault!

Just because you’ve spent months smoking weed everyday doesn’t make you a bad person. You may have encountered panic attacks and paranoia from smoking weed and you may be feeling down generally. We’ve all been there. But all things must pass. You are an amazing person and you will see that soon!

Find a support group

There are more and more groups in communities all around the world dedicated to helping people with problems with weed. If you can find one in your local area it may be worth hooking up with them. You’re not on your own and it’s great to meet people in the same boat as you.

You may also like to consult a doctor about it if possible.

Spend time with people who care about you

Most people have loving family members that offer unconditional support. Spend time with these people and try to avoid friends you used to smoke weed with.

Online courses

There are a couple of good downloadable audio courses to help you stop smoking marijuana. Investing in one of these will prove to yourself that you are serious about this. I particularly enjoyed Gary Evan’s The Cannabis Coach and the Mighty Oak Inner Strength Guide.

What do you think?

Have you ever quit smoking weed for a long period of time? Has this been useful advice for you? These are the things that benefitted me on my journey – but everyone’s different.

There are plenty more things you can do that you can find out at this blog. Underneath this post you can find out about my FREE How to Stop Smoking Weed e-book and FREE Relaxation MP3 – you could download them and give them a try. Again, I would love to hear what you think.

Marijuana can cause mild paranoid feelings, intense confusion, feelings of self-worthlessness and panic attacks

There has not been much research on the subject, but Italian scientists have found that low doses of the psychoactive chemical in weed can be calming while large amounts have the opposite effect.

Hearsay evidence certainly points towards the fact that most people who’ve smoked weed – if they’re honest – will have experienced paranoid feelings.

The range of paranoid feelings that weed can induce is huge. They include mild paranoid feelings that can be laughed off, through intense confusion, feelings of self-worthlessness to extreme paranoia. Many marijuana smokers report having had full blown panic attacks – either while smoking weed or at some other time.

Even though, these feelings may be mild, the stronger paranoid feelings are extremely unpleasant for the individuals experiencing them and, amazingly, online health forums are full of weed users asking: “how can I smoke weed without getting paranoid?”

The answer, of course, is to stop smoking weed.

But it’s not always that easy. I know that weed, even though it’s obviously not doing you any good, is still difficult to give up.

If you think you may be experiencing negative emotions as a result of smoking weed, and you are interested in trying to quit, then you may be interested in downloading my free e-book and relaxation MP3 to help you stop smoking weed.

What can you do about paranoia?

Unfortunately, not a great deal. You just have to give up smoking weed. You can try the relaxation and breathing exercises outlined in the above-mentioned free e-book and MP3, but as you will be stoned whilst you are experiencing this paranoid feelings this will be of limited value.

If you are experiencing paranoid feelings when you haven’t even been smoking then there’s plenty you can do. You can concentrate on your breathing and try to make sure you are conscious only of your breathing and try not to think about anything else.

This is easier said than done but, believe me, it does work!

If you have any recurring paranoia that is worrying you then the best thing to do is to consult your doctor. Don’t be embarrassed. Don’t worry that you’ll be labelled as a pot smoker or that they will think you are wasting their time. If you are really worried about your mental balance you should always seek professional help.

What can you do about panic attacks?

Similarly with the above advice about paranoia, if you are really worried about panic attacks then you should consult a professional.

However, a simple panic attack will actually never harm you. A classic case of panic attack is caused by a slight increase in heart rate (caused by smoking or something else), you feel mild anxiety over the feeling in your chest, your heart rate increases still more, you get more anxious, your heart rate increases … so begins the vicious circle.

It’s good to know, then, that no one ever died of a panic attack. In fact, there’s nothing wrong with you. If you stop smoking weed you’ll probably not have one again.

Again, concentrating on your breathing and trying not to think about anything else will help. Although, if you are really worried you should talk to your doctor.

What do you think?

Have you ever had anxiety, paranoia or panic attacks due to weed? What have you done to counter-act them?

Taking moments to heal your mind and relax can help you with all of life's difficulties

You can find this free relaxation MP3 together with a free e-book at this website.

This relaxation technique helped me quit weed and cigarettes, stopped me drinking too much and turned me from an introspected and depressed person into one that was outgoing and happy.

I don’t claim to understand everything about meditation and happiness but I do know that every human culture across the millennia of history have all practiced meditation or “followed their breathing” in order to calm their thoughts and enter a realm of peace and understanding.

How to listen to this Relaxation MP3

Try to do this at the beginning of a day. Do not do this when stoned or inebriated in any way. It will only work with a clear mind.

Sit on a chair with your legs in front of you. You may have them standing on the floor in front of the chair legs or stretched out but keep them uncrossed.

Find a way of sitting that allows you to feel most comfortable and eventually close your eyes.

Pay attention to any tension in your body. Observe any areas of your body that are tense and relax them.

You should be comfortable but your back should be straight. You should be relaxed but your mind and body should be alert.

Observe your breathing for a moment. Breathe as naturally as possible. Take long, slow, deep breaths. Focus your attention on your breath for some moments. Feel the sensations of your breath on your nostrils or your mouth as it goes in and out.

If you find your mind wondering to another subject, observe it, don’t scold yourself for doing this, and just gently put your observation back to your breathing.

If you find yourself falling asleep – this happens sometimes – just wake yourself up and put your observation back to your breathing. You may find your concentration improve shortly after waking up.

Make sure you download this free relaxation MP3 you will find it a useful resource.
