I got that heavy, pushing-down feeling, too. I didn't notice how it was effecting my day to day energetic/manifestation life until recently. Very fascinating to me, and very much a deterrent for me to indulge in smoking. I forgot to mention this in the post, but it was a Doctor of Chinese Medicine that first pointed out the connection between smoking and the heart chakra closing. But when she said that, just like you, I looked at all the times in my life when I would start to smoke, and it was always as a way to shield myself emotionally. Thanks for your comment. Most of my theories are based on a mix of my teachers (like the DCM who taught me acupressure) and my own experience. It's nice to get confirmation that my theories are not only on par with others' experience, but also a helpful way framing choices and experiences.

I didn't think that consciously, but that was what I was doing. Thank you for posting this and bringing that to my awareness. Although I've never been a regular or heavy smoker, if I was having relationship troubles or felt any kind of heartache, I would want to smoke. It always totally numbed out whatever emotional pain I was feeling. I've always been more of a social smoker, the kind that wants a cigarette after a few drinks. But I'm also realizing that perhaps the reason for that is since the alcohol opens the heart chakra, the craving for a cigarette arises because the heart chakra might be too open and the energy too intense so a cigarette will close it and moderate it. After a few drinks I sometimes feel so joyful and giddy, like I could fly away, then I instinctively want a cigarette to ground me. And most times, I can physically feel my vibrational energy being lowered. Sometimes, after just a few puffs, it feels like a giant hand is pushing me toward the ground, a heaviness descends over me. Smoking definitely inhibits positive energy. If I have a few cigarettes, it can take days or even a week until my energy is back up to a "normal" level.
