Does Hypnosis Work to Quit Smoking?
People are generally skeptical about the power of hypnosis to quit smoking. This is mainly because hypnosis is never advertised like other quit smoking aids like nicotine patches, gums, inhalers etc.
To answer your question, does hypnosis work to quit smoking?
Yes it does. And many people (including me) have used hypnosis successfully to stop smoking forever.
Hypnosis is a rather unique technique that uses a very unique approach to assist in smoking cessation. it affects the sub conscious mind of the patient to inculcate a certain behavior in them. just like smoking became a part of our life by repeated behavior over the years. But, hypnosis is method by which a new behavior can be inculcated in the sub conscious without the long and strenuous task of not smoking for years.
So when you use hypnosis to quit smoking, this behavior, which is essentially that of a non-smoker is seated so deep in your brain that you will hardly feel the need to smoke after a few sessions.
Hypnosis works by putting the patient in a relaxed state of mind. when in this sub conscious state, the hypnotist talks to the sub conscious mind and persuade it into thinking that you have been a non-smoker all along.
This procedure might seem to be over ambitious to those who have never tried hypnosis before. But it has been used by many and is a clinically proven method.
It has been proven that hypnosis is a legitimate technique and not some Hollywood fantasy. it is being used by the military, by the government, and even by top level scientists to study human behavior.
In the sub conscious state of mind, humans are able to reach the part of their brain that they cannot achieve while they are conscious. This is exactly what hypnotist do to make a person quit smoking.
Not only in smoking cessation, hypnosis has been used by millions to help them in many other problems of their lives. for example, weight loss, stress, self – confidence, procrastination etc.
If you are still skeptical about hypnosis, then I would suggest you just give it a try. it doesn’t cost much to download a hypnosis tape from the internet. it will only take a few minutes of your time and you can feel the effect instantly.
You will never quit smoking unless you take action. using hypnosis to quit smoking is taking action to achieve what you want.
