You Can Stop Smoking

Hypnosis Works and It Lasts!

For most people, the absolute worst way to attempt to deal with a smoking habit is through the use of willpower. Like moods and emotions, willpower fluctuates. One day it is strong. The next day may be a down day, and willpower fades. It is usually neither consistent nor effective.

Hypnosis does not work at achieving the strength to resist. It is designed to eliminate the desire. Instead of giving up something that a person enjoys (a sacrifice), the individual's goal is to be rid of something that isn't wanted... a much more agreeable position psychologically.

Since smoking is both physical and mental, success in a stop-smoking effort must change not only the mental attitude, but the physical reaction. Through hypnosis, it is possible to change the taste of a cigarette from pleasurable to non pleasurable. When this is accomplished problems often related to the cessation of smoking tend to be avoided. Just as when you do not eat certain foods because of your extreme dislike for them, changing the taste of the cigarette to remove the desire to smoke will create the same effect in your mind.

In stop-smoking programs the ability to visualize one's self as a non-smoker, free from past effects of the habit, filled with new health, energy, and vitality, is a major asset. Visualization enables the client to picture in the mind cigarettes as unappealing, bad tasting, foul smelling, and otherwise revolting. Likewise it is possible to picture and otherwise sense clean breath, healthy appearance, sensitive tastes.

Through visualization a smoker can perceive himself or herself as looking healthier, more active, in better physical condition, with easier breathing, stronger lungs and similar advantages. Through hypnosis senses of sight, touch, smell, hearing, and taste all can be enhanced and used to modify reactions as necessary to achieve goals.

Congratulations on your decision to stop smoking. Cigarette smoking is responsible every year for approximately 130,000 deaths from cancer, 170,000 deaths from heart disease, and 50,000 deaths from lung disease.
