Does Hypnosis Work To Stop Smoking And How Does It Work

By Ayman de Meijer


I have been a clinical hypnotherapist for several years and I have closely witnessed many almost miraculous results with hypnosis. Whilst I am not claiming that hypnosis can help with everything all the time, it does a pretty fantastic job in my experience.Over the last several years I have helped so many people with such a wide array of things. I have helped probably hundreds of people, maybe thousands quit smoking for example. I have helped many people lose weight, quit addictions, become more confident, attract a new partner...the list goes on. I receive many heart warming emails from across the globe from satisfied clients who have listened to my audio sessions. From experience I know that hypnosis works.
[How Does Hypnosis Work]


If many non-pharmacologic interventions haven't helped you kick out the habit of smoking, don't lose hope. Consult your physician if hypnosis is an advantage for you. Studies shows that hypnosis can help people quit from smoking.What is hypnosis? Hypnosis is characterized as a changed state of awareness wherein people appear to be asleep or in trance. Clinical hypnosis is utilized to handle some physical and psychological problems. For example, it is usually performed to assist patients control pain. It is also utilized in many different kinds of conditions like weight problems, speech difficulties, and addiction problems.

Most smokers come to a time in their life where they want to quit. Perhaps their health problems have increased and they finally realise they have to give up their habit. Unfortunately, the addictive nature of tobacco has taken hold and makes it difficult.How does hypnosis work? Lets look at why hypnosis is a viable option to achieve your goal. In a hypnotic state the emphasis is laid on the psychological healing rather than the physical, to change the persons habit or a behavior. During the time you are in a state of trance you will not appear to be aware of what is being said to you, although, contrary to popular beliefs, you will be conscious throughout. When in a hypnotic state it is your subconscious mind that takes over, this is the part of your brain that stores your memories. The hypnotherapist will talk to your subconscious mind about the benefits to you of not smoking, they will put thoughts into you subconscious like; My thoughts are my own.

One of the most popular hypnosis techniques for smoking cessation is Spiegel's method which centers on three main ideas:Smoking afflicts the body.Your body is needed to live.You should treat your body with utmost respect and do all means to protect it.The therapist teaches the smoker how to perform self-hypnosis, and requests the smoker to say the affirmations over and over anytime the urge to smoke occurs. The success and intensity of hypnosis changes from every individual.Hypnotherapy is just one of the many alternate therapies acquiring wide acknowledgement at some of the country's best hospitals and medical research institutes.

Once you can effectively communicate with your subconscious mind, you can make many almost miraculous changes to your life. You can change almost any habit and any fear. You can become more confident, more successful, and more satisfied with life.

Smokers who have tried any of the aids to quit smoking and have found them unsuccessful, or who do not want to go for nicotine replacement therapy (some people find they cannot wear the patches or use the gum) then quit smoking hypnosis seminars can be an attractive option. However, there is a chance that the group hypnosis seminar may not work for some of you. This is because the depth of hypnosis varies from person to person, and the motivation for quitting also differs, everybody is different after all. Hypnosis requires absolute quiet with no distractions. If you are in a room full of other people you may be distracted by small noises which in turn, may make your concentration stray. A better option would be a one to one hypnotherapy session.

One of the most popular forms of 'help' for any of the above problems is hypnosis. A hypnotist, or 'hypnotherapist,' as they prefer to be called, speaks with the subconscious mind while the client is in a hyper-responsive and attentive state. The main question most people are asking is: Does hypnosis really work? The first thing to understand about hypnosis is: some people are more easily hypnotized than others, and it has nothing to do with whether a person is easily influenced, submissive, or gullible. People who are more intellectual and attentive, who love to read or listen to music are more easily hypnotized than people who have short attention spans.

Hypnosis can be effective in other areas too, such as stress management, sexual difficulties, eating disorders, obesity,anger management and shyness. Hypnosis is also used for managing pain. It is especially useful for conditions like inflammatory bowel disease that do not respond well to prescription drugs.Now looking back, I remember how easy it was for me to quit smoking, I was amazed when I realized that I stopped having a craving for cigarettes and that I never gave smoking another thought.

The hypnotized person must be able to put his or herself to "another place" in time. This does not mean entering the future or past, though common beliefs about hypnosis assert that this is possible. The "other place" is simply a focus on the present situation where the subconscious awareness takes the individual; it is where the entire surrounding environment is exchanged for sharply directed attention in or on a particular place or thing.It works for all sorts of everyday problems and more unusual human troubles and challenges like, controlling your anger, stop blushing, insecurity and getting over a relationship, overcome jealousy, stop nail biting, building self confidence, overcome phobias etc.
