How To Use Hypnosis To Kick The Smoking Addiction

The typical person makes an effort to stop smoking between four to six times before they are successful. If you have tried prescriptions, patches, gum or willpower alone without success, make your final attempt successful with stop smoking hypnosis.

Of all of the ways to quit smoking, hypnosis is truly the least complicated and has the most successful track record. If you are willing to consistently listen to and watch CDs and DVDs specifically intended to curb your cravings to smoke, then quit smoking hypnosis will work for you.

A lot of smokers believe that they cannot quit smoking because of their nicotine addiction, but that simply is not true. Medical professionals maintain that after seven to ten days - even as soon as three days - all nicotine has been cleared from the body, which leaves smokers to focus on the more difficult and far reaching emotional and psychological addiction to smoking cigarettes.

There are innumerable techniques to quit smoking, but just one method can address both the emotional compulsion and the cravings: stop smoking self hypnosis. A lot of people who wish to quit still end up asking themselves, "Why can't I simply quit smoking?"

The answer is obvious to hypnotherapists. The part of you that won't let you quit smoking is your unconscious. You cannot change your unconscious by force of will or with a prescription, patch or gum. You need the right kind of help.

In order to quit smoking, support is imperative, but most people do not realize that the best support comes from within their own unconscious. Hypnosis is the most effective technique to guarantee that your entire psyche is working to help you stop smoking. That's because hypnosis provides an effective way of communicating with your unconscious.

Stop smoking hypnosis helps you eliminate the urge to smoke by removing the desire to light up. When the urge and compulsion to smoke are subtracted, stopping becomes effortless decision that you can make without difficulty. The best quit smoking hypnosis programs are successful because they address the most powerful elements of the addiction to smoking.

The first component of a successful stop smoking hypnosis program addresses the need to smoke for pleasure and relaxation.  This example was actually instituted when you were a baby. No doubt, when you got cranky, your parents gave you a bottle on which to suck.  Then it diverted your attention; you relaxed and likely went to sleep. Cigarette smokers experience the same soothing effect from a cigarette.

With quit smoking hypnosis, your unconscious is reprogrammed to attain pleasure and relaxation by unconsciously replacing stress-inducing thoughts with calming thoughts instead, all through the use of the very same triggers that previously made you tense. This makes the tension almost disappear magically. In addition, the very principal goal of hypnosis is relaxation. So by listening to a soothing hypnotherapy CD daily, anxiety levels will quickly fade.

The second component of an effective stop smoking hypnosis program will help you deal with the habituation, or the "Habit."  Habituation transpires when the unconscious forms an association between smoking and other behaviors, such as driving or watching television. Perhaps the moment that you turn on the TV you are besieged with a craving to smoke.

An effective stop smoking hypnosis DVD or CD will reprogram your unconscious associations so that watching TV, for example, actually makes you want to NOT smoke!  This is called, no pun intended, extinguishing a conditioned response.

Here is a news flash! The physical nicotine addiction is merely about ten percent of the addiction. Ninety percent of the addiction to cigarettes comes from the mental and emotional components that we have looked at thus far. And as stated earlier in this article, medical experts tell us that the body is clear of nicotine in as little as three days.

People who use Neuro-Linguistic Programming and quit smoking hypnosis CDs and DVDs recognize that when their smoking associations and reliance on cigarettes for relaxation have been reprogrammed, the physical addiction is essentially such a minuscule part of their smoking habit, that it has no influence on their power to quit smoking without enduring withdrawal.

Now, I must tell you that despite the extraordinary success that clients have had with stop smoking hypnosis and NLP CDs and DVDs, you must hold the desire to quit smoking prior to starting a program.  And besides the desire to quit, you must make a sincere decision to quit. That means that you must be ready and willing to throw your cigarettes away.

Hypnosis can't be used to force you to do something you don't want to do, so no program can coerce you to quit. But if you have the desire to quit smoking, and you make a determination to quit smoking, hypnosis will help you to remain relaxed and not suffer from tension, cravings, or withdrawal symptoms. Let hypnosis and NLP give you the support you need.
