Quit Smoking Weed - Relaxation Technique #5

Posted by admin on December 7, 2007

SunSalute This is the last post in this weeks series of posts on relaxation techniques for helping cope with the stress associated with marijuana withdrawal. A couple commentators, Meggers and Tani, have both recommended yoga for stress relief and a great nights sleep.

Yoga is an ancient path to spiritual growth, and originates out of India where hinduism is practiced. The practice and goal of yoga dates back to the Upanishads, written between 1000-5000 BC.

I have only performed one type of Yoga sequence before, and I think it is perfect for beginners. The Sun Salutation is a sequence of 12 movements that can be performed quickly whenever you need a boost. I just did a set to try it out - I like it. It feels more physically demanding than the moving meditation relaxation technique and gets the blood flowing quickly.

Excellent choice of sequence!
I also started with the sun salutation, and it is indeed an exercise that gets the heart going. You can also slow down and hold the poses for longer for a slightly different workout.

Thank you for the sun sequence, it is great.
I don’t think you are doing shitty because you are relapsing. It just proves how strong the addiction is. I think you are strong and awesome for wanting to stop and for giving us all inspiration and help. By telling us about your relapses it shows us that we are all on the same boat and that it is VERY FUCKING HARD TO STOP.
