Smoking to celebrate is the extra preset training type in Prana Breath app, available in Guru version. You can use it as positive reinforcement while quitting smoking.

Effects

  • relieving cigarette craving
  • lowering adrenaline level
  • providing the feeling of satisfaction
  • helping to enjoy the moment without the need of nicotine

It is used as a substitute for the cigarette craving that is induced by the pleasant moments of our life, like a good meal, drinking at a party or sex with the beloved one. Those activities are usually combined with higher than usual adrenaline level, and that's where a cigarette used to help.

The method takes inspiration from the book “The non-doing” (1973) by Itsuo Tsuda, a Japanese philosopher and a practitioner and teacher of Aikido and Seitai.
