Cigarette Side Effects A Reason For Worry? Kill The Urges with Stop Smoking Hypnosis CDs
Article by Alan Densky
How many inner discussions have you had with yourself about your smoking habit? How many times have you mentioned to family and friends that you want to quit but seem to stay caught in a smoking rut despite the health risks and the cost? And how many methods have you tried that just didn’t succeed? If you are like most smokers, you will remember such shattered hopes and may have felt nothing will really come through for you. Unless you tried hypnosis to stop smoking, you may have been on target.
If you fervently want to cease smoking, neurolinguistic therapy with hypnosis is the rational choice for true results. Smoking cessation hypnotherapy can zone in on the most significant reasons that keep you smoking as well as equipping you with resources and guidance to be successful for good. This is not stage entertainment that is good for laughs and tricks, but a reputable therapy approved by the AMA since 1958, and one with accreditation and a well-established ethics code.
Hypnosis doesn’t change your moral values and a reputable hypnotherapist will respect your privacy and rights like any other medical professional. You do need a practitioner who is certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists and who adheres to their stringent code of ethics and professional conduct. Included in their code is making the physical and mental well-being of their client their main consideration. They also defend clients from mental, physical or verbal abuse, and refer any client as needed.
A well trained hypnotherapist has the training to address problem behavior, and stop smoking hypnosis is the second most frequent type they practice. Using the most current methods which may include the precision of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and the ongoing support of CD’s for stop smoking hypnosis as well as any medical measures a PCP might also prescribe for a patient. Using medical hypnotherapy does not mean other measures are excluded, but they may not even be needed at all.
The reason that professionally used hypnosis to quit smoking is the most effective method to attain success is that it addresses the three basic issues in smoking. No method can truly work that does not address each issue fully and correct the problems each causes. Most people believe that the physical addiction to nicotine is the most important element and the worst problem, but this is simply not the case. If the addiction to the substance called nicotine were the single reason for failure, most smokers would not fail so many times in their efforts to end smoking for good.
Yes, nicotine is a dramatically addictive substance and for most smokers the physical dependence is very real and there are withdrawal sensations that are also real. But did you realize these last only a short time? In fact, every bit of nicotine is metabolized out of the system in just 72 hours or less! For many smokers, it is the fear of withdrawal discomforts and not the reality that causes the most suffering and which may prevent even trying to quit at all. Yet quitting without therapy has an average 5% rate of success! Hypnosis to quit smoking reduces fear of withdrawal symptoms and greatly reduces the effect of any that do happen.
Another component of smoking is that it provides relaxation, just as sucking on a pacifier tranquilizes a baby. Many people treat anxiety and stress with some form of oral soothing like smoking cigarettes or eating. Hypnotic relaxation can substitute for the comfort factor derived from smoking cigarettes, which reduces the cravings and produces the benefits of quitting instead. The mind can be trained to substitute the same perceptions from other activities that are positive, not negative. Neuro-linguistic programming techniques can educate the brain to remove any connection between smoking cigarettes and comfort.
Finally, part of the smoking habit is plain old Pavlovian habit formation to stimuli. Smokers learn to connect smoking with certain activities, from the movie cliché of the cigarette after physical relations to feeling the need for a cigarette while drinking or watching television or chatting on the phone. Here stop smoking hypnotherapy can permanently eliminate the connection, and when the link is no longer there, there will be no trigger to light up when the coffee is poured or the cocktail is presented. The mind is trained to associate positive things with the former triggers, or to recall the advantages of quitting or the created by having the smoke.
A professional clinical practitioner will use both negative and positive associations to replace programmed associations with smoking, selecting those most powerful for an individual client. Stop smoking hypnosis is the only method that can fine tune the treatment to each of the three reasons for smoking and root them out. Everyone quitting requires support, but only smoking cessation programs using hypnotherapy effectively make you your own support team.

The Reason Why Self Hypnosis Never Seems to Work
Self hypnosis is an extremely powerful tool when used to help you achieve your goals! Achieving goals, as with anything in life depends on your internal state. You can use the power of self hypnosis to program into your mind a plan for goal achievement and even instil new beliefs and behaviours that will help you reach your objectives. So why doesn’t self hypnosis work for everyone?
Many people fail to get any measurable results from self hypnosis because they are not using it correctly!
The first step you should take when considering using self hypnosis is to know what you want. Although this may sound elementary and a little condescending really consider it. Are you certain, in every deatil, as to how your life will benefit from reaching your goal? Do you know exactly what it is you want to gain from using self hypnosis? Or, do you just listen to a generic self hypnosis session and hope for the best?
For example, listening to a self hypnosis recording for more confidence may be a good goal but how do you quantify confidence? Do you want to be confident around other people or potential mates? Are you seeking to gain more confidence in your job or work-life? Is it really that you want to be more confident about your abilities and therefore it is your self-esteem that you are wishing to build?
For self hypnosis, like any other self improvement technique, to be effective you must use it with a goal in mind! Your goal, for use with self hypnosis, must be precise. You must make it as detailed as possible.

Try writing down a list of things you would like to achieve and then prioritize them. Take your most important desire and turn it into a goal. Write it down. Do it now!
Have you done it?
When you write down a goal you change it from a wish into a statement of intent. With this statement of intent you can program it into your subconscious mind, through self hypnosis, and make it your future reality. This makes your desire real and tangible and no longer a vague wish or dream. By doing this you have just created a powerful self hypnosis goal!
Now that you are clear on what you want and have created your first self hypnosis goal you need to finish this preliminary work before you ever enter a self hypnosis state.
You must now re-write your goal in the present tense as though you already have it. If you have major trouble feeling comfortable writing it in the present tense then write it as though it is in the process of coming true. Do not tate your goal as though it will come to you in the future! Never state what you do not want or include any of the things that you are trying to eliminate!
Your self hypnosis goal must state your intention positively and only include what you want. “I am debt free” is a bad example, for in order to be debt free you must first think of debt! “I am prosperous and wealthy”, is much better as it includes what you do want! “I am no longer uncomfortable in social situations”, is bad as you are focusing on your lack of confidence! “I am a highly confident person who is at ease with others in any situation”, is much more suitable as it states the positive outcome you are seeking!
The subconscious mind works, not in words, but in pictures. This becomes very apparent during self hypnosis. So whatever you do right at this moment don’t think of an elephant! What did you just think of? An elephant! Right?
In order not to think of an elephant your subconscious mind has to produce a picture of an elephant so it knows what you don’t want to think about! This is why it’s very important to never include what you do not want in your self hypnosis goal!
When you use self hypnosis to re-program your subconscious mind with this goal, the mental pictures you form will be automatically positive due to the wording of your goal. So only use positive, goal-affirming statements! Ensure your statements are detailed, positive and to the point. Doing this will force your subconscious mind to create pictures that reinforce your desires and it will use them as as a guide to creating your future!
