Nothing to Fear in Quitting Smoking with Hypnosis and Everything to Gain

Hypnosis  is possibly  as  old  as mankind.  The old  myths and  misconceptions  about   hypnosis   have  given  way  to proven, scientifically sound  applications.  Today, the use of hypnosis  is seen  in a variety of fields, including: medicine, dentistry,  law   enforcement,   professional  sports, and education.

Most people  have a limited understanding of the  positive results  that  can be achieved  in  hypnosis.  I would  like to  dispel some  of the myths  and  answer  the  most  frequently  asked  questions about  hypnosis.

• How does  hypnosis  work?   Our minds  work  on  two levels  –  the  conscious  and  the  unconscious.   We  make decisions,  think,  and  act  with  our  conscious  mind.    

The unconscious  mind controls our habits.   In the relaxed state known as hypnosis,  I can communicate  directly with the unconscious  mind.   This is why it is so quick  and  easy  to change  habits  of a lifetime with hypnosis.

• Will hypnosis  work for me?   Generally speaking,  every normal person  is "hypnotisable".  That is, people with an IQ  of  at   least   70,   and   no   severe   mental   disorders.

Therefore,  virtually anyone  can  achieve  successful  results using hypnosis.

• How will  I know  if I am  hypnotised?  Most  people cannot  tell the difference between  the hypnotised and the waking  states. Some  people  feel  relaxed  and  lethargic, others  feel a lightness.  One thing that people do notice is an inexplicable change  in their daily behaviours.

• Is hypnosis safe? Hypnosis is completely safe.   You are aware  and  in control  at  every moment  and  can  terminate  the  session  at  any time.   Hypnosis  is not  sleep,  nor  can you  get  "stuck" in a  state  of hypnosis.  You  cannot  be made  to  do  something  against  your  will!    Hypnosis  is  a safe, relaxing, and  enjoyable  experience.

• How does hypnosis help me to kick the smoking habit? Because  smoking is  a  habit,  it  is  controlled   by  the unconscious  mind. Since hypnosis  and  NLP  work directly with the unconscious, this is the only method  that makes sense!  I can  help  you  effortlessly  transition  into  the healthy lifestyle of a happy non-smoker.

Why People  Don’t Stop Smoking

Most people  know that  by stopping  they  will save  several thousand pounds or dollars a year.  Most people  know that they could add  years  to  their  life.  And most  people  know that  if they stop smoking right now, they could save their health – before it’s too  late.

So, why do  people  continue  to smoke?  It   all  comes   down   to   one thing…FEAR.

• Fear   that   you’ll   have   to   give  up   your  crutch   or pleasure

• Fear  that  you  won’t  be  able  to  enjoy  life or  handle stress

• Fear that  you will put on weight

• Fear  that  you’ll  have  to  go through  an  awful  trauma to get free

• Fear   that   you’ll   never   get   completely   free  of   the craving

All  of these  fears  are  just  examples  of one overriding  fear. The one  simple  reason  that  you have  not  stopped  smoking is that you:

Fear that  it is going to be  too  painful and  too difficult!

Hypnosis Makes it Easy

In fact  hypnosis  makes  it so easy for you to be a happy  non-smoker – not feeling deprived,  not feeling that you’ve made a sacrifice, and not feeling  any  pain.  Instead, you’ll  have  a  huge  sense  of relief  and  elation  that  you  have  at  last  achieved  what  all smokers  long to achieve,  you have  become  a happy, permanent, non-smoker.

When  smokers   try  to  stop   with  other  methods  they  suffer misery and depression caused  by the feeling that they are being deprived of a pleasure  or a crutch. The beauty of hypnosis, and the  way I use  hypnosis  in particular,  is  that it removes  this feeling of deprivation.  It removes  the need,  and  the desire, to smoke.   

You won’t need  useless aids, gimmicks, or substitutes. No nicotine  gum or patches.   No inhalers  or nasal  sprays.   No needles or lasers.   All that you have to do with hypnosis is sit back  in a nice comfortable  chair, and relax.            

 It   doesn’t get  much  easier than that 

The Unique Approach

Since the British Medical Association (BMA) and  the  American Medical Association (AMA) approved  the use of  clinical hypnosis  in the 1950s,   thousands  of   people have found hypnosis to be an effective way  to  stop smoking,  lose  weight,  and otherwise    improve  their lives.  You will be benefiting from over 15 years of my experience as a hypnotherapist.

The   beauty  of  my  unique approach is that I use the best of  traditional  hypnotherapy techniques, and  combine  them with  the  new  science  of  Neuro Linguistic Programming  (NLP),  which takes  hypnosis  to an even greater  level of effectiveness.

One  of  the   reasons   why  it’s   not   painful   or difficult  to  stop  smoking  with  our  method,   in  fact one of the reasons  why it is so easy,  is that  I  transfer the  pleasure  derived  from smoking  to a  healthier  habit of  your  choice  (e.g.  exercise,  drinking  more  water,  or relaxation).
