How To Quit Smoking Using Hypnosis

This article explains some of the reasons which makes it strenuous for smokers to stop smoking. By examine to the various characteristics of smoking cessation, it’s possible to use hypnosis to work with the unconscious mind, to get an undemanding and more pleasurable smoking cessation.

Every smoker I know - who have not quit smoking yet - has again and again tried to quit smoking. It is not only the several smoking bans that push smokers to stop, it is as well their friends and their wallets. I recall very clearly, when I was little how my brothers and I repeatedly asked our grandmother to stop smoking. My grandmother smoked for several years and she said that she wanted to stop but she could not. When she lost a sister to lung cancer, who also had smoked most of her life, my grandmother stopped and she has not smoked since. How can it be that it is so challenging to quit smoking even if you want to?

I usually differentiate between consciousness and sub consciousness by saying that consciousness is the leader and sub consciousness is the manager. Consciousness sets the targets, and sub consciousness is the engine that makes certain that the objectives are reached. As soon as that the sub consciousness sets the routines and habits it can be challenging to change them with will power and the power of consciousness alone.

There are numerous aspects of smoking, that makes this more challenging than other routines. The primary is nicotine. It has been acknowledged that nicotine is addictive and makes your body dependent, but despite that, the nicotine is reasonable quick to leave the body if you can stay smoke-free for only a few days. Did you know that if you take the concentrated amount of nicotine that is in only one cigarette, and injected it directly into the veins of a horse, it would kick the bucket. It is not a substance I would like to fill my body with even in the lowest amount.

I know countless smokers who have stayed smoke-free in several weeks or even months and then returned to cigarettes. After that long, it is not nicotine addiction that is the catch. The social aspect of smoking is also an central aspect. When a large group of people who have never met each other for the first time, it’s frequently smokers who gets familiar only because they have this joint vice. I find this quality of cigarettes very positive, sorry to say, is not positive enough to balance the injurious costs smoking has on both the smoker and his or hers friends. Richard Bandler - co-creator of NLP - describes in one of his books a meeting he had with a man who wanted to stop smoking. After a single treatment, he was a non-smoker, but he started to have problems in his marriage. Bandler called both the man and his wife in, and after having observed them in the waiting room, he realized that it had something to do with cigarettes. Smoking had been a common thing they had, and since he no longer smoked, he did not participate in the joint activity. He preferred not to be anywhere near her when she sat in the kitchen and smoked her cigarettes, which they had done previously and talked during the smoking. This aspect is quite important when you need to quit smoking. There is not much fun in quitting smoking, if your partner continues to smoke, neither for you or your partner.

It happens also that people are being pressured to stop smoking - just like we tried to push my grandmother. It may prove an unfeasible task to use hypnosis to stop smoking, if it’s not your own desire to quit smoking. Hypnosis is not manipulation as someone still thinks. You can’t get people to do something they would not, otherwise we could just hypnotize all the criminals to quit crime, but regrettably it is not that simple. However, hypnosis and hypnotherapy is a great tool when you are ready to quit smoking. Many smokers believe that it will be a hell both physically and mentally to quit smoking, but hypnosis can be used to ease withdrawal symptoms and remove the beliefs you have learned yourself, about how it is to quit smoking. If you imagine that it will be very strenuous, then it will probably be very tough.

Your hypnotherapist should also help make sure that your habit of smoking is not replaced by another bad habit, but instead results in a greater comfort for you and your acquaintances. Nobody would like you to be a non-smoker who was irritable or depressed.

If you after reading this article want to hear more about stopping smoking and hypnosis, so I suggest that you contact a hypnotist in your area or on the Internet and give him or her a call.
