As any smoker knows and anybody else can see, smoking is an extraordinarily difficult thing to give up.

More addictive than heroin we hear, or I’ve tried but….from a friend who gave up before, as they pick up a new cigarette.

It is not only the physical addiction, but also the social aspect of the habit that is difficult for the smoker to break.

The routine becomes part of the fabric of their day, be it stepping outside for a first cigarette, sitting in a pub with a pint and beer and smoke with a friend, or just the daily chat with the friendly tobacconist: once these moments are woven into the fabric of our lives the habit becomes more and more difficult to break.

The medical profession advise a wide range of treatments that should help you to quit smoking, mainly related to drugs and other prescription items.

While the profit model for the suppliers of this range of patches, gums, and replacement therapies is easy to see, the effectiveness for the average smoker-to-quit is less clear.

In many cases the addiction to nicotine by cigarette is only replaced to addiction to nicotine by patch, and the underlying reasons for the smoker’s wanting to pick up their next cigarette remain un-altered.

And as a smoker finds them falling straight back onto habits that they know they would prefer to have let behind them but seem unable to, their belief in their own self determination and personal choice can start to wain.

And what is going on behind all of this? While the smoker ‘decides’ to quit the habit using their conscious mind, it is the unconscious mind that each time overrides this choice, and sees you reaching for yet another cigarette.

So how can you go about translating the choices made by your conscious mind to the sub-conscious one and making those choices stick?

Well one route to altering those decisions that we keep on making is by talking directly to the subconscious a skill known as hypnotherapy.

The smoker listens to the voice of the hypnotherapist, and becomes relaxed.  They sometimes fall asleep or become drowsy, but equally often feel themselves to be fully awake throughout.

The hypnotherapist makes what is known as ’suggestions’ to the smoker, and it is these that sinking more deeply into the smokers mind start to effect the real decision that the smoker makes at let’s call it ‘next cigarette time’.

Oddly enough the soon-to-be ex smoker finds themself in a strange situation:

-Their desire for that next cigarette is not what it used to be.

-The reasons for quitting that they have understood for so long, yet been unable to act on seem more important, and less easy to suspend from the mind for those critical moments prior to taking action.

-The strength of resolve that had previously crumbled so easily seems for no apparent reason to return.

How easy is it in this situation to feel  braver than before?

How easy to actually take the action that you had always hoped you would, and say No thanks I’m a non-smoker.

Surprised?  You probably will be, but that’s hypnotherapy to stop smoking!

Just because you have exhausted your efforts on trying all the available methods on how to quit smoking, it does not mean there is no hope at all. Stop smoking hypnosis may possibly be the answer to your problem. Hypnosis is a state of the body or a phenomenon which resembles sleep that is induced by suggestion. It aims to influence, through suggestion, the subconscious mind. (During sleep, the subconscious mind, often regarded to as the stronger part of the mind, is at work.)

Suggestion is a very powerful tool in averting one’s mind. Most experts on this field believe that one of every three or four persons can, under suitable conditions, be hypnotized. Almost anyone can be hypnotized. The capability of being hypnotized is not dependent on age, sex, personality, intelligence or anything else. As long as the subject’s attention can be grasped, that person can be put under a hypnotic spell.

While the decision to quit smoking is easy, being on the process of really quitting is, no doubt, a very hard thing to do. It is usually the physical withdrawal symptoms an ex-smoker would have to endure that will make him vulnerable and fall into the trap again. It is very important that an individual who decides to stop smoking be aware of this so that he can be prepared. The uses of hypnosis which are relevant to an individual who wants to quit smoking include repression or suggesting away withdrawal symptoms and lessening the intensity of apprehension and anxiety.

Like any other quit smoking program, hypnosis does not guarantee perfect results as many of the patients still experience episodic or casual cravings for cigarettes. But there are many still who claim that after they have undergone hypnosis, they have forgotten such urges. Despite the possibility of having to smoke again, you really have to believe that hypnosis will work. You have to be firm on your decision to let go of that bad habit.

Hypnosis can be self taught. With the aid of relaxation tapes and various techniques to relax and ease your mind from any form of worry, you will then be able to have your session in your very own private premises. To get you started, you have to outline your goals and keep yourself motivated with those goals. Visualize yourself that you have successfully attained those goals. Start your session in a relaxing environment, a normal tone of voice and a relaxing pace. Remember to be safe and avoid using scented candles. Instead, try soft lights and a soothing music to help you get into the mood. Take deep breaths to aid you in starting. Deep breathing helps you relax because it enables you to take in more oxygen and allow it into to your bloodstream. This instantly gives a calming effect.

It is also very important that you have a support program for this form of treatment. You may want to have a one on one session or join workshops with an experienced hypnotist for lessons on self hypnosis. Similar to any other program, the first step still depends on you. Your will power and determination to quit is the underlying principle of hypnosis. Believe you can do it then…do it.

If you are someone who is trying to quit smoking cigarettes, you know how tough it is to eliminate this damaging compulsion. It is possible however, and half of all adult smokers are able to quit smoking forever. Many smokers have been able to quit smoking cigarettes by replacing them with new, more positive habits without having to suffer through withdrawal symptoms. By far, the most effective and easiest method to quit smoking and accomplish this end is hypnotherapy.

Quit smoking hypnosis is one of the most commonly practiced forms of hypnosis. It is often cited as a tool to quit smoking along with strategies such as the use of nicotine gums and patches and other popular methods. It helps end the smoking addiction by combating cravings for cigarettes, motivating you to stay committed to quitting, and promoting relaxation and stress relief so you will not feel the urge to smoke.

The smoking addiction has both physiological and psychological components. The physiological addiction is a physical need the body acquires for nicotine. This aspect of the addiction is what causes the withdrawal symptoms that make it initially feel near impossible to quit smoking. However, this is a short, temporary stage in the overall course of quitting smoking, lasting only between three days and one week. By the end of this time period, your body acclimates to usual, nicotine-free functioning. Based on thirty years of experience, I believe that the physical need for nicotine constitutes only ten percent of the addiction to smoking.

By far, the most challenging part of breaking the smoking addiction is overcoming the psychological addiction, which are the mental and emotional aspects of smoking. I believe this represents ninety percent of the smoking addiction. When you develop a smoking habit, you develop an unconscious desire to smoke at certain times, such as when watching TV. This is called a conditioned response. Quit smoking self-hypnosis helps eliminate the unconscious associations that cause one to crave cigarettes, thereby eliminating the conditioned response to smoke. Hypnotherapy also helps you stay motivated to give up smoking by reinforcing the ideas that gave you the wish to break the smoking addiction in the first place.

Smokers get stuck in the habit of following a ritual of lighting up and smoking. This is why people who attempt to quit smoking using nicotine patches or gums alone usually have such a difficult experience. They quickly overcome the physical addiction, but they have no replacement or relief for the ritual of smoking cigarettes, which has become a habit and pleasurable source of stress relief. Self-hypnosis techniques eliminate this habit and serve as stress reducers as well. As a relaxation tool, hypnosis helps effectively relieve anxiety and stress so you will lose the cravings for cigarettes.

Combined with some powerful NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques, stop smoking self-hypnosis can keep you committed to kicking the habit by training the unconscious mind to focus on the benefits of quitting. Eliminating tobacco benefits you in numerous ways. Within days of quitting, body parts damaged by smoking begin to heal, damaged nerves re-grow, and the sense of taste and smell improves significantly. Within a few weeks, lung function and blood circulation improve. Within one year, your risk of heart disease is less than half that of a smoker. Within five to fifteen years, the risk of having a stroke is the same as a non-smoker. Your risk of heart disease is the same as someone who has never smoked at all, and the risk of death from lung cancer and numerous other cancer risks have decreased.

In spite of the harmful effects of smoking and the benefits of quitting, some smokers never overcome their harmful addiction. For the most part, this is because they have never really committed to quitting. Other smokers are afraid to suffer through withdrawal symptoms or give up the smoking habit. However, quitting smoking does not have to be the difficult process that makes so many smokers hesitant to even attempt quitting. Hypnotherapy provides a very simple, natural method of quitting.

Hypnosis is a powerful tool for easing cravings for cigarettes, providing powerful motivation, and promoting relaxation and stress relief to eliminate the psychological aspects of the smoking addiction. Stop smoking hypnosis techniques can be easily learned from specialized self-hypnosis CDs that have been developed after decades of experience using hypnosis, Neuro-VISION video hypnotherapy, and NLP to get clients to quit smoking.

Hypnotherapy CDs make it easy to quit smoking for good because they break the smoking compulsion in a process that helps eliminate cravings and the desire to smoke. Whatever your motivation is for quitting, hypnosis and NLP makes it easier to focus your mind on these reasons, which makes you feel a great urge to quit. Stop smoking hypnosis CDs eliminate the impulse to smoke. Although quitting smoking can be a painful and unsuccessful experience for some, those who take advantage of stop smoking self hypnosis have a much greater rate of success because it makes the process much easier. Hypnotherapy is the most effective method for smoke cessation.

Hypnotherapy is an idea based upon hypnotism. While the terminology was largely founded in the late 19th century, the practice has been around since ancient times. The goal of hypnotherapy is to target subconscious desires and behaviors either to strengthen them or to weaken them.

In the case of cigarette smoking, hypnotherapists often focus on either decreasing the urges associated with desire to smoke, or strengthening your will to quit smoking. There are many ways they can do this, such as associating disgust with the act of inhaling tobacco smoke.

How Well does Hypnotherapy Work?

For those who have been unsucessful quitting ‘cold turkey’ style, hypnotherapy has provided mixed results. Many find it works effectively for a while, but then they relapse later on. Still others are able to attend only a session or two for complete success in quitting. And there are those who say it has almost no effect at all.

In comparison to other treatments, hypnotherapy does offer advantages.

Vs Cold Turkey – Hypnotherapy strengthens your already existing desire to quit and/or weakens your desire to smoke

Vs any kind of Medication – Hypnotherapy is almost certainly safer and often more effective at addressing your emotional factors.

Vs Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) – The same as above – hypnotherapy is safer and usually more effective because it addresses the emotional factors thoroughly.

Different methods of delivery for hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy can be delivered via different methods. The most common method is to visit a hypnotherapist several times and then listen to an audio recording at home when you go to sleep. This method has the advantage of reduced cost, but some find it less effective than simply attending a hypnotherapist until they quit. Other methods are entirely DIY (do it yourself), relying on a combination of audio and written material. These can be effective if you have strong willpower.

Like any other therapy, hypnotherapy depends a great deal on your desire to quit. If you don’t strongly feel like quitting, there will not be much emotion associated with quitting to strengthen. This often occurs in those people who see cigarettes as a coping mechanism. In those cases, it is better to figure out what you are trying to compensate for with smoking, and to find a better, healthier alternative to cigarettes (and yes – there definitely is one).

As a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (C.hT) specializing in Neuro Linguistic Programming (THE NUMBER 1 CHANGE TECHNOLOGY IN THE WORLD), I help patients quit smoking everyday for life in my Toronto office.

I am going to reveal some SECRET information that the tobacco companies DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW. They want you to believe quitting smoking has to be a painful and a long drawn out process.

The truth is, the smoking habit has no power at all. It never was any benefit to you. It never had the power to give you the things you believed it did: the confidence, the focus, and the street smarts. It was a lie. The creators of the habit invented the lie. If you don’t feed it, all that will happen is that it will die. The scratching and screeching was all fluff, the habit had you fooled. The danger to you was in feeding it and keeping it alive. On it’s own it’s a dead habit, it can’t do any more harm than it’s already done. You should be happy when it is scratching, because that’s when you are in front. The harder it scratches and screeches, the nearer death it is, it will become quiet then, and die. There’s nothing more harmless than a completely dead habit. The only way to kill it is to refuse to feed it.

How You’re Feeding Your Smoking Habit

Habits come from thoughts. Below is a list of researched examples about how are thoughts are created from our brain frequencies.

People who meditate have been found to alter Alpha/Theta brain frequency according to their depth of meditation, reports Japan’s leading Neuro-physiologist, Dr. Tomb Hirai.

He has correlated brain-wave patterns with certain stages of meditation. And according to Dr. Hirai, “Meditation is not merely a state between mental stability and sleep, but a condition in which the mind operates at the optimum. In this condition the person is relaxed but ready to accept and respond positively to any stimulus that may reach them.”

Research now confirms that brainwave rhythms correspond to certain states of consciousness, and this suggests that individuals capable of altering their brainwave patterns can have significant control over other mental and physiological functioning.

As Elmer and Alice Green of the famous Menninger Institute first reported in the mid-70’s, “…simply causing your brain to generate theta activity for a few minutes each day seems to have enormous benefits, including boosting the immune system, enhancing creativity, and triggering integrative experiences leading to feelings of psychological well-being.”

Even more astonishing are the findings of a study conducted on a group of chronic alcoholics at a University in Colorado. After 13 weeks the group that learned to generate theta and alpha brainwaves, showed a far greater recovery rate, and a complete transformation of personality.

Hypnotherapy Alters Brainwaves

Hypnotherapy is a 25,000 year old Chinese art that clinically allows people to alter their own “alpha/theta” brain frequencies and assist individuals to quit smoking.

What exactly is stop smoking hypnosis?

Hypnotherapy is where the Hypnotherapist only uses words to talk directly with and to your nervous system to allow your own nervous system to re-program yourself at your nervous systems level of operation to assist you in becoming a non-smoker.

There are zero side effects. It is 100% safe and effective. It is all-natural. It is often done in 2 or 4 sessions. Depending on how good the Hypnotherapist is and/or the creator of the audio hypnotherapy stop smoking program.

Not only do hypnotherapy stop smoking techniques make changes to your physical dependencies towards smoking, it also erases all emotional issues relating to smoking. This frees up your body and mind to easily and effortlessly let go of smoking permanently.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming is the science of how language affects our lives. Neuro-Linguistic Programming known as (NLP) has a 97% success rate in assisting individuals to permanently quit smoking.

This field is so far reaching and powerful that since the creation of NLP in 1973 any books written about Hypnotherapy have included some material about the field of NLP in them.

Basically most of the skills used in NLP are the same or similar to many hypnotherapy exercises and techniques.

Combining both hypnotherapy stop smoking techniques and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, have demonstrated to be the best way to quit smoking in my clinic and with my colleagues.

These two combined techniques, by far produce the most effective method ever invented to assist individuals to permanently quit smoking with over a 97.2% success rate in 1 to 2 sessions.

I hope this helps you in uncovering the mystery in evaluating stop smoking hypnosis. If you want to ease your smoking habit, seek out a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (C.hT) and Master NLP Practitioner or a good audio stop smoking program created by one.

Smoking is a habit that dies hard for most individuals because they take up the habit of smoking for various reasons. Some just start smoking as a show off and in the long run they get addicted to the nicotine and cannot say no to smoking. It becomes difficult for individuals to consider stopping smoking as it takes a good deal of their will power to achieve the process. It may have occurred to you that you can stop it over a small gap, but get lured to the habit once again if you find an opportunity.

People might have undertaken several methods to quit smoking but gave up eventually as most of the processes include medications and more importantly will power. If the person is not strong willed, then the task may become really difficult for him to go through forcing him to consider other options. Since the physical treatments would not have any affect on you to stop smoking, hypnotherapy can seem to be an option. The process is quite simple and you need not get worked up as the therapist would proceed really slowly with the process of hypnotherapy.

Under the hypnotherapy treatment you need to find yourself a suitable therapist who would take up your case and ask you to fill in certain questionnaires. A simple question answer session may also enable him to understand you better which would allow him to chalk out his work. Every therapist in the beginning tries to analyze their patient’s state of mind to confirm your condition, and they would ask you to undergo the hypnosis sessions with them. These sessions would include the therapist hypnotizing you and reaching to your subconscious mind where they might convince you not to smoke.

It is essential that the therapist treat you under you subconscious mind as under such situations you are vulnerable to listen to what you are told. On several occasions, it has been noticed that individuals need to smoke is absolutely psychological forcing the therapist to change the individuals mind frame about smoking. To stop smoking, hypnotherapy becomes essential at a point where medicines and will power fail to cope with the condition. By reaching to your subconscious, the therapist would provide you with several brighter aspects to life without smoking instead of forcing you to stop.

Stop smoking hypnotherapy treatments may continue over several days ranging from weeks to even months. The therapist does not rush with the treatment and allows you to continue sessions with him whenever you feel comfortable. This method has turned out to be one of the best solutions to give up smoking though it is a long drawn process. Hypnotherapy could be the best solution to stop smoking if the person is ready to carry out the sessions properly. It is also required for the individuals to go over the recorded sessions whenever they are relaxing in their free time at home or at work places.
