Quit smoking! – A personal story from Viorica Balea of Washington
Phil on Sep 26th 2008
“I want to share this true story with you and maybe this way I can help someone that is just like me. I initially went in to Body + Brain center for the Tai-Chi, and discovered more than I bargain for (don’t you feel like that sometimes.) Well I don’t think it was bargain that kept me going there. The exercises we are doing are simple and effective for the body and mind.
Like many of us I had a bad habit. It was very hard to give it up. SMOKING. I’ve tried so many, many times, only to fail and feel not worthy, because I could not control my habit. Well let me tell you that after two months of going to the center I stopped smoking and this time it was different because I felt that It came from inside me, It’s so hard to explain something that you have never felt before, it was easy to give it up and not feel bad or that you were missing it. I was surprised how my body reacted to the cigarettes, the taste was not satisfying any more.
Shortly after I stopped smoking I went to a party where a lot of people were smoking, to my surprise I was not craving for cigarettes and you know how it is at a party! You just let loose and enjoy yourself. I was not tempted at all even though they offered many times, and I had a good time dancing and being with friends.
Just like giving up smoking everything else has changed in my life, feeling the Ki energy is heavenly, you are in this state of peace, happiness that not only you benefit but everybody around you. There is so much more to say that I could go on forever. Stay tuned and I’m sure there is more of my growth that I could share with you.”
