Does Hypnosis Work To Stop Smoking And How Does It Work

By Josie Uitendaal


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.

Lets look at it rationally. Smoking is a strange behaviour. Smoking is disgusting. Smoking stains your teeth and fingers. Smoking causes bad breath. Smoking creates an unpleasant environment for non-smokers. Most start smoking when they are teenagers because they need to be one of the 'crowd' and they want to be cool. If their friends smoke there's a lot of pressure to take up the habit. Other people turn to smoking because they are looking for a way to relieve stress. Even though tobacco does provide short-term relief, it is a contributing factor to stress in the long run.

A hypnotherapist is trained to guide a person into a trance. A trance 'tunes down' the conscious mind allowing greater access to the subconscious part. A good hypnotherapist is then able to communicate with the subconscious mind using metaphors, visualizations, and slow clear language.

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.I am free to do what I want, when I want and go where I want, with no thoughts of smoking cigarettes coming into my mind. Your conscious mind will be conditioned to want to stay away from cigarettes, and there will be no withdrawal symptoms. Now you can feel the freedom without tobacco, how great It is to feel cigarettes no longer have that power over you. You want to stay here in this moment of no smoking for ever, and when you come back from your hypnotic state these thoughts will have been automatically accepted by your conscious mind and you will have no tobacco cravings.

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.

Self-hypnosis is good option, the recordings provided in self-hypnosis programs do the same job that a hypnotist's voice would, they improve your ability to focus. Of course, this is done in the comfort of your own home, at a time that suits you. What could be better? It works for most people. And of course you can have as many sessions as you like and as often as you need, and at no extra cost.

Hypnosis and hypnotherapy does work, but it isn't the answer for everything, and it isn't immediate. Hypnotic 'suggestions' need time to develop and work. The first step to accomplishing this goal is to become comfortable with the hypnotist. The client must feel as though they can trust their hypnotherapist, or they will not be able to relax to the level they must for hypnosis to work properly.Once trust is achieved, and the client is able to relax deeply, the work is mostly done. All that remains is allowing the mind to listen actively, and be ready to make the changes the client so desires.

Linking together the conscious and subconscious mind allows us to achieve any result we could ask for, if willing to put our minds to it (literally and figuratively.) Hypnosis is simple, and has the widest range of uses among all mind-healing techniques.Every person has the ability to improve their own life. Every human being has the right to heal new and old wounds, and become all they could ever hope to be. Hypnosis is a science discovered to help all of us meet those goals. It is a tool to use the power within our minds, and the power of our minds is definitely something that works.MindMaster is a "tool for the mind" that can help you achieve your goals faster and easier than hypnosis, and is used by tens of thousands of people around the world (including Olympic Gold Medalists and Top Personal Development Coaches, and even Medical Doctors).
