Working with Cravings Mindfully: Urge Surfing

Instead of automatically or impulsively acting on an addictive or compulsive substance or behavior, I offer a new solution inspired by Ronald Seigel's (2010) book. The Mindfulness Solution; ride the waves of the cravings mindfully as they ebb and flow; Urge surf!

Short and helpful meditation for cravings. Loved it

Very soothing and no judgmental way of approaching a craving. Enjoyed this and your voice very much

Wonderful exercise and helpful! Thank you!

Cleaver way to “ride” an urge via a medaphoric surfboard. Simple and helpful.

Really great meditation. It worked like magic on me. I have been playing the collectible card game Magic: the Gathering since mid 1993, almost 27 years, and I buy new cards far too much. This meditation has helped me a lot. I liked the breathing exercise at the beginning as well as the surfboard metaphor, they both resonated with me.Not only is it making me a happier person because I’m not thinking about what cards to buy, but it’s also saving me lots of money, more than you probably think. The most expensive cards I buy cost upwards of $3000. Thanks so much!!!
