Stop Smoking Hypnosis CDs, a worthwhile investment.
The average person tries to quit smoking between four to six times before they are successful. If you have tried gum, patches, prescriptions or willpower alone with no success, make your final attempt work with stop smoking hypnosis.
Of all of the ways to quit smoking, hypnosis is literally the easiest and has the best track record. If you are willing to consistently watch and listen to DVDs and CDs specifically designed to curb your cravings to smoke, then quit smoking hypnosis will work for you.
These DVDs and CDs harness the power of the human mind to overcome addiction, allowing the smoker to quit “cold turkey.”
Many smokers believe that they cannot quit smoking because of their addiction to nicotine, but that simply is not true. Medical professionals maintain that after seven to fourteen days—even as soon as three days—all nicotine has been cleared from the system. This leaves smokers to deal with the more difficult and far reaching emotional and psychological addiction to smoking cigarettes, which when dealt with properly, can be surprisingly easy.
There are countless ways to quit smoking, but only one method can address both the cravings and the emotional compulsion: stop smoking hypnosis, or “mind over matter”. Many people who have a strong desire to quit still end up asking themselves, “Why can’t I simply stop smoking?”
The answer is clear to hypnotherapists. The part of you that won’t let you quit smoking is your unconscious mind. You can’t change your unconscious by force of will or with a gum, patch or prescription. You need the right kind of help. You need to reconfigure the thought processes in your brain.
In order to quit smoking, support is imperative, but many people do not realize that the best support comes from within their own unconscious mind.
Hypnosis is the most effective way to ensure that your entire psyche is working to help you stop smoking. That is because hypnosis provides a powerful way of communicating with your unconscious.
Stop smoking hypnosis helps you eliminate the urge to smoke by removing the compulsion to light up through rationalizing the situation to your subconscious, and helping you to make an active decision affecting your future.
When the urge and compulsion to smoke are removed, quitting becomes a simple decision that you can make without difficulty. The best stop smoking hypnosis programs are effective because they address the most powerful components of the smoking addiction.
The first part of an effective stop smoking hypnosis program addresses the desire to smoke for relaxation and pleasure. This pattern was actually instituted when you were a baby. No doubt, when you got cranky, your mother or father put a bottle in your mouth. Then your attention got diverted, you relaxed and likely fell asleep. People who smoke get the same soothing effect from a cigarette, except with a flood of drugs and poisons.
With quit smoking hypnosis, the unconscious mind is reprogrammed to achieve relaxation and pleasure by automatically replacing stress-inducing thoughts with calming thoughts instead, while understanding what causes those thoughts to make you feel like smoking. All this is achieved using the very same triggers that previously made you anxious. This makes the tension disappear.
Additionally, the very essence of hypnosis is relaxation. So by listening to a soothing hypnotherapy CD daily, stress levels will quickly diminish and you will approach the situation with a clear mind.
The second part of an effective stop smoking hypnosis program deals with the habituation, or the “Habit.” Habituation occurs when the unconscious mind makes an association between smoking and other behaviors, such as driving or watching television. These associations are called ‘triggers.’
For example, if, while driving to work, you feel compelled to light up, this is a trigger.
An effective stop smoking hypnosis CD or DVD will reprogram your unconscious associations so that driving to work, for example, actually makes you want to REJECT smoking!
This technique is called, no pun intended, extinguishing a conditioned response.
Here is a news flash! The physical addiction to nicotine is only about ten percent of the addiction. Ninety percent of the addiction to cigarettes is the mental and emotional components that we’ve discussed so far. As stated earlier in this article, medical professionals tell us that the body is clear of nicotine in as little as three days.
People who use Neuro-Linguistic Programming and quit smoking hypnosis CDs find that when their smoking associations and reliance on cigarettes to relax are have been reprogrammed, the physical addiction is actually such a tiny part of their smoking habit, that it has no bearing on their ability to quit smoking without suffering from withdrawal.
Another alternative to quit smoking CDs and MP3s are quit smoking books. But beware, not all these are well written.
The secret to a good book is the immersion of the reader, as well as providing the same service that the CDs or DVDs provide. Basically, the book needs to restructure your thinking so that you don’t want to smoke.
