Author: Alan B. Densky, CH
If you are someone who is trying to quit smoking, you know how hard it is to break this harmful compulsion. It is possible however, and half of all adult smokers are able to successfully quit smoking forever. Many smokers have successfully quit smoking cigarettes by replacing them with different, positive habits without having to suffer through withdrawal symptoms. By far, the most effective and easiest method to quit smoking and achieve this end is hypnosis.
Stop smoking hypnosis is one of the most frequently practiced forms of hypnosis. It is often cited as a tool for quitting smoking along with strategies such as the use of nicotine patches or gums and other popular methods. It helps end the smoking addiction by combating cravings to smoke, keeping you committed to quitting, and promoting relaxation and stress relief so you will not feel the need to smoke.
The smoking addiction contains both physiological and psychological components. The physiological addiction is a physical addiction the body develops to nicotine. This aspect of the addiction is what causes the physical withdrawal symptoms that make it seem near impossible to quit smoking. However, this is a short, temporary phase in the overall process of quitting the habit, lasting only between three days and one week. By the end of this period, your body adjusts to regular, nicotine-free functioning. Based on thirty years of experience, I believe that the physical addiction to nicotine constitutes only ten percent of the addiction to smoking.
By far, the most challenging part of breaking the smoking addiction is overcoming the psychological addiction, which are the mental and emotional aspects of smoking. I believe this represents ninety percent of the cigarette addiction. When you develop a smoking habit, you unconsciously develop a desire to smoke in certain situations, such as during work breaks. This is called a conditioned response. Stop smoking hypnotherapy works to eliminate the unconscious associations that cause one to crave cigarettes, thereby eliminating the conditioned response to smoke. Hypnotherapy also helps you stay motivated to stop smoking by reinforcing the ideas that gave you the desire to quit smoking in the first place.
Smokers get stuck impulsively lighting up and smoking. This is why many people who attempt to quit smoking using nicotine patches or gums alone are unable to successfully quit. They quickly overcome the physiological addiction, but they have no replacement or relief for the ritual of smoking, which has become a mental habit and comforting source of stress relief. Stop smoking hypnotherapy techniques eliminate this habit and serve as stress reducers as well. As a relaxation tool, hypnosis helps effectively relieve stress and anxiety so you will lose the cravings for cigarettes.
By adding powerful NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques, quit smoking hypnotherapy can keep you committed to stop smoking by training the unconscious to focus on the benefits of quitting. Eliminating tobacco benefits you in a great number of ways. Within days of quitting, body parts damaged by smoking begin to heal, damaged nerves re-grow, and the sense of taste and smell improves significantly. Within a few weeks, lung function and blood circulation improve. Within one year, your risk of heart disease is less than half that of a smoker. Within five to fifteen years, the risk of having a stroke is the same as a non-smoker. Your risk of heart disease is the same as someone who has never smoked, and the risk of dying from lung cancer and a number of other cancer risks have decreased.
In spite of the dangers of smoking and the health benefits of quitting, some smokers never overcome their unpleasant addiction. For the most part, this is because they've never seriously committed to quitting. Other smokers are afraid to suffer from withdrawal symptoms or give up the smoking habit. But quitting smoking does not have to be the torturous process that makes so many smokers unwilling to even attempt quitting. Hypnosis acts as a very simple, natural method of quitting.
Hypnotherapy is an effective implement for controlling cravings for cigarettes, building powerful motivation, and promoting relaxation and stress relief to eliminate the psychological addiction to smoking. Hypnosis techniques to stop smoking can be easily learned from specialized self-hypnosis CDs that have been developed after decades of using hypnosis, Neuro-VISION video hypnotherapy, and NLP to get clients to kick the cigarette addiction.
Stop smoking hypnosis CDs make it easy to quit smoking permanently because they break the smoking compulsion in a process that helps obliterate cravings and the desire to smoke. Whatever your motivation is for breaking the habit, hypnosis makes it easier to focus your mind on these reasons, which makes you feel a powerful urge to quit. Stop smoking hypnotherapy CDs eliminate the impulse to smoke. Although quitting smoking can be an unsuccessful and painful endeavor for some, those who use self hypnosis CDs have a much greater percentage of success because it makes the process easier. Hypnotherapy is the most effective method for smoke cessation.
