Meditation for Habituation
Benefits:
The thumb’s pressure on the temples triggers a reflex in the brain, activating the pineal gland. This corrects an imbalance related to the persistence of addictions.
This is one of the best meditations for drug dependence and specifically benefits rehabilitation.
Practice 5 to 7 minutes.
Gradually increase to 20 and then to 31 minutes
Posture:
Sit with spine straight in a chair or cross legged. Make hands into fists, pressing the thumbs on the indentations of the temples.
Lock the back molars together with closed mouth.
With your eyes closed, focus the eyes at your third eye point, between the eyebrows. Breathe normally with a relaxed breath.
Silently repeat:
“SA, TA, NA, MA*”
On each sound, vibrate the jaw muscles by pressing molars together and releasing. As you press your molars together, you will feel a movement at your temples.
To end, inhale and hold the breath for a few seconds, exhale and relax.
