In my experience, I have seen many people use meditation to release stress and live a healthier life - and you also need to focus on seeing where the love is in your life. Open to it.

Personally, I am not convinced of the long term effects of laser surgery - sometimes it lasts, and sometimes it does not. Personally, I would prefer any other alternative than any kind of surgery, if possible.

Many people have corrected their own vision using various techniques, including those in my book, Improve Your Vision

First, you have to want to stop for your own reasons, and not simply because you feel others want you to stop.

Ten cigarettes a day is not so many. Rather than seeing yourself as a smoker trying to stop, begin by seeing yourself as a non-smoker who occasionally smokes - and you will find that you will be smoking less and less without stress. Takes a bit of time this way, but it works much better.

Kidney problems tell a story of a perceived lack of power, feeling helpless in a situation. See what was going on at that time, and see how you need to own your power, rather than seeing yourself as weak and dependent.

Meditation and/or relaxation techniques will help you get in touch with yourself, and see your life through a clearer perceptual filter. I recommend an alpha training, like the Silva Method.
