| Does Hypnosis Work to Help You Quit Smoking? |
By:

Depending on what works best for them, smokers can try
several ways to quit smoking. Some can quit altogether,
without any help. Others prefer a more gradual withdrawal
using nicotine aids. Some smokers find medication suits them
best.
Recently, there has been much talk about the beneficial
effects of hypnosis especially for getting rid of the habit
of smoking. However, many doubt whether it is really
helpful.
What hypnosis is
Hypnosis is a method of relaxation that creates a sort of
altered state in the mind. It helps to quiet the extraneous
thoughts and set the mind up for being more open to
suggestion.
Achieving this state of a calm using breathing and
visualization techniques, the hypnotist puts new ideas
across to the patient to discourage smoking. They could be
ideas about the benefits of quitting. Or about the health
hazards of not quitting. But the outcome is that the old
patterns of thinking are disrupted with newer, better
suggestions.
After the hypnosis session is done, the person feels
relaxed and now has a set of ideas placed into their
subconscious that should help them resist the temptation of
smoking.
Of course, it varies from individual to individual how many
sessions of hypnosis will have the desired effect. But, the
fact remains that hypnosis has definitely helped smokers to
quit their habit.
What hypnosis can't do
Hypnosis is a method of changing the thought pattern but it
should not be mistaken for a cure for smoking. It can
certainly redirect the habit into something healthier and
more positive but the behavior of the patient needs to be
monitored. Basically, you need to work consciously to resist
the temptation and create a new lifestyle.
The best way to go about it is to incorporate hypnosis as
part of your overall quit-smoking program. Combining it with
other methods, you can achieve you goal and quit forever. It
will also help to do things you find relaxing in the day.
Especially when you want to analyze your feelings about
smoking. And want to come up with alternative ways to
reinforce a smoke-free life.
The best results can be achieved if hypnosis is used along
with other therapies to stop smoking for good. If you can
find other ways to relax during the day you will look at
other alternatives to smoking and lead a nicotine free life.
Be your own hypnotist.
Sit or lie down in a comfortable position and play a
relaxing music CD. Close your eyes and relax your body
completely and think about what you want. Focus on your
objectives to be healthy and free of smoking. You can give
auto-suggestions by repeating these thoughts. After some
time, open your eyes slowly.
If you make this technique a regular part of your life, you
can invigorate your brain cells into newer thinking
patterns. You can generate better ways of handling stresses
that led to smoking in the first place.
