How You Can Use Hypnosis To Kick The Cigarette Smoking Habit
By Alan B. Densky, CH
The average person attempts to stop smoking between four to six times before they beat the addiction. If you have tried patches, gum, prescriptions or willpower alone without success, make your final attempt stick with stop smoking hypnosis.
Of all of the ways to quit smoking, hypnosis is literally the least complicated and has the best track record. If you are willing to consistently watch and listen to DVDs and CDs specifically intended to curb your cravings to smoke, then quit smoking hypnosis will be successful for you.
The majority of smokers believe that they are unable to quit smoking because of their addiction to nicotine, but that simply is not true. Medical professionals maintain that after seven to ten days - even as soon as three days - all nicotine has been eliminated from the body, which leaves smokers to work with the more arduous and far reaching psychological and emotional addiction to smoking cigarettes.
There are various processes to quit smoking, but only one method can address both the cravings and the emotional compulsion: kick smoking hypnosis. The majority of people who want to quit still end up asking themselves, "Why can't I simply quit smoking?"
For hypnotherapists, the answer is clear. The part of you that will not let you give up smoking is the unconscious. You can't change your unconscious by force of will or with a gum, patch or prescription. You require the right kind of help.
In order to quit smoking, support is imperative, but a lot of people do not understand that the best support comes from within their own unconscious. Hypnosis is the most successful way to ensure that your entire psyche is working to help you stop smoking. That's because hypnosis provides an effective way of communicating with the unconscious.
Stop smoking hypnosis helps you get rid of the urge to smoke by removing the compulsion to light up. When the compulsion and urge to smoke are removed, quitting becomes a straightforward choice that you can make without difficulty. The best stop smoking hypnosis programs are effective because they address the most powerful elements of the addiction to smoking.
The first part of a successful stop smoking hypnosis program addresses the desire to smoke for pleasure and relaxation. This model was actually instituted when you were an infant. Likely, when you got cranky, your parents put a bottle in your mouth. Then your attention got diverted; you relaxed and likely went to sleep. People who smoke experience the same calming effect from a cigarette.
With quit smoking hypnosis, your unconscious is reprogrammed to receive pleasure and relaxation by automatically replacing stress-inducing thoughts with calming thoughts instead, all via the use of the very same triggers that previously made you tense. This makes

the tension almost disappear magically. Further, the very principal goal of hypnosis is relaxation. So by listening to a soothing CD daily, stress levels will quickly fade.
The second part of an effective stop smoking hypnosis program will help you address the habituation, or the "Habit." Habituation transpires when the unconscious makes an association between smoking and other behaviors, such as driving or watching television. Perhaps the moment that you turn on the television you are fighting with a craving to smoke.
An effective stop smoking hypnosis DVD or CD will reprogram your unconscious associations so that watching TV, for example, actually makes you want to NOT smoke! This is called, no pun intended, extinguishing a conditioned response.
Here is a news flash! The physical addiction to nicotine is only about ten percent of the addiction. Ninety percent of the addiction to cigarettes comes from the mental and emotional components that we've talked about thus far. And as stated earlier in this article, medical professionals tell us that the body is void of nicotine in as little as three days.
People who use Neuro-Linguistic Programming and quit smoking hypnosis CDs and DVDs find that when their smoking associations and dependence on cigarettes to relax have undergone reprogramming, the physical addiction is essentially such a minute part of their smoking habit, that it has no effect on their capacity to quit smoking without suffering from withdrawal.
Now, I must advise you that regardless of the exception success that clients have had with stop smoking hypnosis and NLP CDs and DVDs, you must hold the desire to quit smoking prior to starting a program. And as well as the desire to quit smoking, you must make a sincere decision to quit. That means that you must be ready and willing to throw your cigarettes away.
Hypnosis CDs and DVDs can't be used to force you to do something you don't desire to do, so no program can coerce you to quit. But if you have the desire to quit smoking, and you make a resolution to quit smoking, hypnosis will help you to remain comfortable and not suffer from cravings, tension or withdrawal symptoms. Let hypnosis and NLP give you the support you need.
