The subconscious mind learns in two ways. First the subconscious mind learns through repetition. Of course since smoking is a repetitive act the very act of smoking effectively trains the subconscious mind into a habit pattern. This one reason why many who try to stop smoking 'cold turkey' fail.
The second way the subconscious mind learns is through emotion. In fact emotion is so powerful that any single event with enough emotional impact becomes permanent in the subconscious immediately. This is just one reason we find ourselves unable to let go of problems of the past.
What this also means is, that if a smoker turns to a cigarette for comfort during emotional stress, the habit is even more powerfully etched into the subconscious as a 'useful' or 'rewarding' habit. So those who smoke to relieve stress or to quell anxiety use the smoking habit to fill emotional need as well. Of course to the sponge-like state of the subconscious the emotional 'rewards' involved make quitting smoking all that much more challenging and difficult.
One of the benefits of using hypnosis as a quit smoking method is that a hypnotherapist can help neutralize this sugar craving. The unique quality of hypnosis is that in addition to 'deleting' or eliminating habits, hypnosis is tool for planting new habits or ideas as well. By using hypnotic suggestions the therapist can boost the 'ex-smokers' daily intake of fresh fruit. The natural fruit sugars will provide an alternative sugar that will eliminate the 'cravings' that plague the early days of quitting.
But don't worry; hypnosis can help. Hypnosis is the single most effective method for communicating with the powerful subconscious mind. Through hypnosis a therapist can neutralize a negative habit like smoking from the root. This is achieved by addressing the particular messages running in our subconscious that keep us stuck in the smoking habit.
That is how hypnosis helps end the internal conflicts that surround smoking for good. Hypnosis helps those who want to stop smoking permanently to achieve the success they're looking for. Healing the root cause of the problem may take a few sessions, but it plants new positive suggestions in the subconscious that last a lifetime. The process is painless and has absolutely no negative side effects unlike smoking. Why wait another day to get started with the simple painless, hypnosis method of quitting smoking! Scott D. Lewis |
