Using Hypnosis to Help You Stop Smoking for Good
- Kim Clark-White
Is it finally time to quit smoking for good? You know that smoking is one of the most harmful habits for your health. Have you tried before but you weren’t successful. Hypnosis can most likely be the tool you need to conquer the nasty habit once and for always.
Hypnosis is a modality that takes you into a deep and relaxed state. When you are in this relaxed state your subconscious mind is open to positive suggestions while bypassing the critical mind where we spend much of our time rehashing problems and talking in our head.
A registered hypnotist can tailor a program and suggestions specific to you.
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a deep and relaxed trance like state. In hypnosis you have heightened focus and concentration. A hypnotist will guide you into the hypnotic state and deepen the level of relaxation throughout the process. The hypnotist will give you verbal suggestions and guide you to visualize images. The hypnotist also gives suggestions for your specific outcome.
When you are in hypnosis you are usually in a calm and peaceful state, allowing you to make beneficial changes. This calm and relaxed state often extends beyond your hypnosis session.
The hypnotist can also give you techniques to take home and practice getting into a relaxed state.
Hypnosis helps with smoking cessation and relaxation as well as weight loss, pain management, reducing tension and much more.
