How Does Hypnosis Work

By Domenique Huizing


Lets look at how you may be able to stop smoking using hypnosis. You can consult a stop smoking hypnotist, it would be best, however, to choose a licensed therapist that treats a variety of conditions, rather than just a hypnotist that states they can help you quit smoking after just one session. So, how does hypnosis work with quitting smoking.Every smoker knows that it's bad for their health, but many smokers continue the habit for decades. Each year they experience a decline in their health. But why do people take up the habit and why do they find it hard to quit?
[How Does Hypnosis Work]


Lets look at it rationally. Smoking is a strange behaviour. Smoking is disgusting. Smoking stains your teeth and fingers. Smoking causes bad breath. Smoking creates an unpleasant environment for non-smokers. Most start smoking when they are teenagers because they need to be one of the 'crowd' and they want to be cool. If their friends smoke there's a lot of pressure to take up the habit. Other people turn to smoking because they are looking for a way to relieve stress. Even though tobacco does provide short-term relief, it is a contributing factor to stress in the long run.

Hypnosis consists of at least a single session which lasts between sixty to ninety minutes. It is believed that during hypnosis, the person is relaxed and focuses more, and is more open to listen to suggestions- like giving up smoking, for example. During hypnosis, the person is not totally unconscious but is still cognizant of the surroundings.In the hypnosis session for smoking cessation, a patient is requested to picture unpleasant results from smoking. For example, the hypnotherapist would advise that cigarette smoke smells like a truck exhaust or that smoking will make the person's mouth feeling extremely dry.

A trained hypnotherapist can then tell the subconscious mind that a spider is nothing to be feared. They might for example guide the subject to visualize a spider dressed up as a clown, looking as ridiculous as possible. They may use special slow clear language to also relay this message. If this is done correctly, it will send out a strong message to the subconscious mind that a spider is not threatening, in a way that it understands. Once the subconscious mind understands this, it will no longer trigger the automatic fear response and a phobia is then cured.

If you choose hypnosis to help you quit smoking you should feel more relaxed and in control. Your intention to quit should still be clear in your mind. Your subconscious mind will kick in and help you to ignore the urge to "light up". If you choose to quit smoking using hypnosis, you will avoid becoming dependent on nicotine replacement therapy and also avoid the side effects associated with prescription drugs.

There are many self-help techniques out there, each designed to help you get yourself to where you want to be, in any facet of life. Whether you want to forget a painful experience, quit a bad habit, or get better at something you love doing, there are different types of books, therapies, group sessions and meditation tapes designed to help you meet these goals.

Self-hypnosis is good option, the recordings provided in self-hypnosis programs do the same job that a hypnotist's voice would, they improve your ability to focus. Of course, this is done in the comfort of your own home, at a time that suits you. What could be better? It works for most people. And of course you can have as many sessions as you like and as often as you need, and at no extra cost.

Hypnosis can be effective in other areas too, such as stress management, sexual difficulties, eating disorders, obesity,anger management and shyness. Hypnosis is also used for managing pain. It is especially useful for conditions like inflammatory bowel disease that do not respond well to prescription drugs.

Linking together the conscious and subconscious mind allows us to achieve any result we could ask for, if willing to put our minds to it (literally and figuratively.) Hypnotherapy and hypnosis does work, and no other form of therapy works as easily accept subliminal messages. Hypnosis is simple, and has the widest range of uses among all mind-healing techniques.Every person has the ability to improve their own life. Every human being has the right to heal new and old wounds, and become all they could ever hope to be. Hypnosis is a science discovered to help all of us meet those goals. It is a tool to use the power within our minds, and the power of our minds is definitely something that works.MindMaster is a "tool for the mind" that can help you achieve your goals faster and easier than hypnosis, and is used by tens of thousands of people around the world (including Olympic Gold Medalists and Top Personal Development Coaches, and even Medical Doctors).
