Mindfulness meditation can be a particularly good technique for dealing with cravings. It allows the individual to observe their internal landscape without getting too caught up in the action. The meditator begins to realize that thoughts appear and disappear in the mind all the time. It is possible to just observe them as if they are clouds in the sky. Mindfulness allows people to see that cravings are not a permanent fixture. Often just acknowledging them is enough to make them disappear. The meditator realizes that these cravings are no more who they are than an itch on the body. This means that they feel empowered and no longer afraid of such cravings.
