Quit Smoking Hypnosis
Because Hypnosis Works...
In the battle to quit smoking, hypnosis has been used by a lot of folks with great success to finally quit the habit. It's effectiveness is not universal because there are some people who are not able to give up, but it does have a very high success rate.
Basically, there are two types of hypnosis employed to quit smoking. One is self-directed hypnosis where you manage the hypnosis by yourself, perhaps using hypnosis cds,tapes or other aids.
The other is the conventional mode of hypnosis which is when you attend sessions with a trained hypnotist, or hypnotherapist. Both of these formats can be effective in giving up your cravings, it really depends on you - can you manage the discipline and motivation required to follow the instructions and use the cds as required on a regular basis ?
If not you may be better advised to attend sessions with a trained professional specializing in hypnosis for smoking. Of course, hypnosis cds will be very much cheaper and you can use them with discretion in the privacy of your home.
Either way - you should be consulting with your doctor beforehand.
Facts About Hypnosis
Popular but uninformed belief has it that hypnosis is all about being in a zombie like state in which the subjects turn into a slave with no control over their own mind. Yes, this happens in Hollywood and stage shows but it is not at all realistic.
The truth is, you cannot be made to do something against your will when you are in a hypnotic state. Hypnosis simply involves achieving a state of relaxation where your mind is open to receive suggestions directly into the plane of the subconscious. But these suggestions will not be accepted by the mind if they contradict your core beliefs or values.
Smoking and Hypnosis
Like all other habits, smoking is hard to stop. A smoker can smoke while driving his car, or during tea break, after a meal or in stressful situations. In essence, smoking has become a custom, an essential element in a daily routine. Human tendency is to stick with customs and rebelling against them is hard.
Not only psychologically, but also over 90% of smokers become clinically addicted to smoking. Depending continually on nicotine can cause withdrawal symptoms when one tries to stay away from it. When someone faces both psychological and physical discomfort, it is difficult to overcome it.
Hypnotherapy has the potential to resolve many life problems and to offer an improved lifestyle. Research has shown that a combination of pharmacological treatment with hypnosis helps in quit smoking more effectively than depending on just drugs. Our subconscious mind has associated smoking with pleasure; while taking medication we are only working at the surface level of conscious mind, which does not like to change.
Our subconscious mind is always ready to receive suggestions, but is not accessible in normal consciousness. Hypnosis helps by altering the condition of the subconscious mind and reprograms it as necessary to quit smoking. Willpower is still needed in every action you take to quit smoking.
Our imagination is more powerful than our willpower. Our inner mind or subconscious mind is lie an ocean of power; hypnosis helps in unlocking that. While listening to positive suggestions along with guided imagery, you will gain the effect you desire.
Points to Remember
Hypnosis can reinforce an improved level of motivation, focus of attention, positive visual imagery and freedom from anxiety and tension. An effective and appropriate application of hypnosis may help quit smoking, but it needs a good level of psychological knowledge and skills so that it can be applied ethically and safely.
It is always better to research thoroughly before counting on any hypnotist appearing with an impressive certificate or higher fee. Only an experienced and well-qualified psychotherapist with a specialization in hypnosis can induce effective hypnosis to quit smoking.
Many hypnosis professionals produce specialized programs for weight loss, shyness, quitting smoking etc that can be very effective and at reasonable cost. All it involves is to listen to the cds on a regular basis and to follow the simple instructions.
