The Laughing Buddha – A Hotei Statue For Bartenders – Is A Patron Saint?

I’d seen a Hotei Statue many years before I ever knew who or what it meant. When I was a young boy I would frequently get dropped off at grandma’s house for baby sitting and since her husband had served in WWII for the Navy in the battles for Japan he became familiar with Japanese culture and art; and thus brought back several Large Laughing Buddha Statues to decorate his home with. They were gold leafed and very pretty. At that time I was unfamiliar with who Buddha was and just looked at them as silly decorations.

I think my second encounter with seeing a Hotei Statue was as a preteen, at the age of 13 years, when I was at a Chinese food restaurant my parents loved to frequent. Once again, I never paid the laughing Buddha Statue any attention and just figured it was a cultural decorative piece.

Quitting Smoking And Extreme Anxiety

In my 15 years assisting clients to quit smoking, occasionally I have seen a response that was confusing. It happened to a few people who don’t normally suffer from anxiety.

In these cases their anxiety was overwhelming, causing them to feel so bad they couldn’t work or barely hold a conversation. When I dug into this problem I found what is referred to as a glutamate storm.

The extreme form is common in head injuries and stroke, but a lesser storm can be seen in some individuals when nicotine is suddenly withdrawn from their brain. Continue reading “Quitting Smoking And Extreme Anxiety”
