Hypnosis is known as the most successful way to quit smoking, and it is also the sneakiest way. Some people are concerned about hypnosis because they fear that their minds will be controlled. The only experience most people have with hypnosis is on television or stage shows.
Simply put you can't be made to do something that you morally object to. If a suggestion was made to steel it would only be carried out by someone who was OK with steeling.
As far as smoking is concerned, you are only given suggestions that you are in agreement with, that is to stop smoking.
Back to the sneaky part. Your subconscious mind has taken on the belief that smoking is serving a positive purpose. In order to change that belief we need to subtly approach the subconscious so that it doesn't throw up a wall of resistance.
Firstly you need to relax progressively, then strategies such as stories are used to re-direct the mind, while simple solutions are introduced. Next a series of techniques such as nested loops are used to create a state of mild confusion.
It is at this moment that the suggestions for positive change will successfully be introduced into the subconscious.
This entire process is completely safe, relaxing and gentle. Positive ideas in are presented over and over in various ways, so that they are embedded securely into your subconscious. In addition post hypnotic suggestions will be made, such as whenever you walk through a doorway you will take a deep breath and feel good about being a non smoker for life.
Or a key word may be established, such as breathe, which would be emotionally connected to feelings of health and wellness or perhaps happiness. Once installed anytime that word is used intentionally or in conversation would elicit those positive feelings.
There are many strategies which can be used in hypnosis, to keep you on track as a non smoker. Rapid change hypnosis uses methods from all the great hypnosis traditions, blending them seamlessly to address all your triggers, beliefs and concerns about smoking and quitting.
The entire process is relaxing, and completely safe. Afterwards about 1/3 of clients will feel as if they have never had a cigarette in their life, another 1/3 may have passing thoughts, such as when they make a coffee, but it quickly passes.
The remaining third will face the occasional challenge, especially where lots of alcohol is involved. If your lifestyle includes heavy drinking discuss this with your practitioner.
