The idea behind this card — Urge surfing

When a craving hits, you can plant your feet and watch it crest like a wave. Cravings are waves, not commands. Waves pass.

GROUND — The healing body and the immediate day

The practice

learn the watch calm, before the wave. Feet flat. Find where the craving sits in the body and watch it build, crest, and start to fade. Time one wave this week on a clock. Your own stopwatch beats the wave's story.

Where this idea comes from
