| The use of hypnosis is sweeping
the nation. Valid, clinically tested, and proven effective;
hypnosis is a fresh approach to eliminating problems and modifying
behaviour. Hypnosis is becoming so popular, hundreds of thousands
of people are taking advantage of its benefits daily.
Why People Smoke:
Since smoking is both mental and physical,
success in stopping smoking relies on affecting both aspects
of the habit. That so many chain smokers have stopped smoking
within one or two sessions of hypnosis shows that modern advertising
has given us a grossly exaggerated picture of the contribution
the physical addiction to nicotine plays. This is not to say
that everyone will stop with one session. As people vary,
so will the time that each individual will need to make the
appropriate changes.
The greater part of the smoking addition
lies in the forces of our habits and repeated behaviours.
Also, smoking often occurs as a way to replace some deficit
in life - lack of companionship, love, acceptance, self-esteem,
security, independence, etc. - to replace some pre-existing
habit such as overeating - or to deal with such issues as
anxiety, boredom, etc. People also smoke because they derive
sensual gratification from smoking - they enjoy touching or
feeling the cigarettes, tapping the pack, seeing the flame
of a lighter or the curling of rising smoke, or the smell
of burning tobacco. Often the lighting of the cigarette (or
cigar or pipe) in itself becomes a ritual.
Traditional methods of stopping smoking
do not address this side of the problem, and that's why they're
almost always destined to fail.
Hypnosis Works and It Lasts!
For most people, the absolute worst way
to attempt to deal with a smoking habit is through use of
willpower. Like moods and emotions, willpower fluctuates.
One day it is strong, but the next day may be a down day and
willpower fades. It is usually neither consistent nor effective.
Hypnotherapy is so different from more traditional
methods of change because it does not rely on willpower. Instead
it helps you completely eliminate the desire for the cigarettes
so that lighting up truly is the last thing on your mind.
With our guidance, it is possible for you to change the taste
of a cigarette from pleasurable to undesirable.
Additional benefits of hypnosis include
a greater sense of relaxation, stress reduction, a return
of energy, and better sleeping habits. In addition, most people
that use hypnosis to stop smoking do not feel the need to
replace the habit with another such as overeating. There are
no negative side effects to stopping smoking with hypnosis
and you will not experience any negative withdrawal symptoms.
