Smoking as part of a spiritual process:

Why Spiritual People Smoke
Copyright, Neva J. Howelll

I used to hate being around cigarette smoke so much that I would actually feel angry when someone smoked around me. I hated the smell of burning tobacco and I also judged the person, particularly if they seemed to be walking a path of Spiritual Awakening. Becuase I could see the cloud that tobacco smoke caused in the auric field, I wondered how they could still smoke tobacco without it impacting their spiritual connection.

My childhood exposure to cigarette smoke was part of the reason for my strong reactions. At various times in my childhood, I was in a smoke-filled environment. As a child, I felt very helpless to control anything in my environment including environmental pollutants assailing my young lungs.

Back then, no one knew how dangerous second hand smoke was but my body knew and recoiled from it. I learned to hate it deeply and it has only been in the past few years that I've shifted into a higher pespective on cigarette smoking.

I now recognize that cigarette smoke serves a specific soul purpose for those drawn to smoke cigarettes.

Why Spiritual People Smoke: Sometimes, a person smokes because there is an addiction pattern that is being explored. While some choose food or alcohol, others gravitate to cigarette smoking as a way of escaping feelings or thoughts.

Sometimes, cigarette smoking helps to shield the emotional body from overwhelm. I've noticed that many who smoke to the point of addiction are also highly empathic; it may be that the smoke decreases the empathic overload of feeling the feelings of others around you.

Smoking in a present life may even be due to past life factors which may result in the frequency of smoke being soothing and or just feeling comfortable at a certain level of consciousness,

I've been told by a Native-American teacher that the indigenous peoples used cigarettes as a way of still continuing to honor the tradition of smoking the Sacred Pipe, after that right was taken away from them. To them, tobacco is a Sacred Medicine Plant that helps carry their prayers to the Creator.

Although I haven't always felt this way, I do not judge the choice to smoke now.

I just choose to not smoke and to keep my personal space as free of that frequency as possible.

Smokers may be more comfortable attending retreats where smoking is mutually enjoyed by most participants and that would not be the case here.

If you smoke and you want to stop, I can offer the following natural stop smoking program:
