Using Hypnosis CDs To Stop Smoking

If you are someone who is trying to quit smoking, you know how difficult it is to break this destructive habit. However, it is possible, and half of all adult smokers will succeed in quitting smoking forever. Many smokers have successfully quit smoking cigarettes by replacing them with new, positive habits without having to experience withdrawal symptoms. By far, the most effective, easiest method to stop smoking and accomplish this end is hypnosis.

Stop smoking hypnosis is one of the most regularly practiced forms of hypnotherapy. It is often cited as a tool to stop smoking along with strategies such as the use of nicotine patches or gums and other popular methods. It helps end the smoking addiction by combating cravings for cigarettes, keeping you committed to quitting, and promoting relaxation and stress relief so you will not be tempted to smoke.

The smoking addiction has both physiological and psychological aspects. The physiological addiction is a physical addiction the body develops to nicotine. This component of the addiction causes the physical withdrawal symptoms that make it feel near impossible to stop smoking. However, this is a short, temporary phase in the overall course of quitting the habit, which lasts only between three days and one week. By the end of this time period, your body acclimates to usual, nicotine-free functioning. Based on thirty years of experience, I believe that the physical need for nicotine constitutes a mere ten percent of the smoking addiction.

By far, the most challenging part of breaking the smoking addiction is overcoming the psychological addiction, which are the mental and emotional aspects of smoking. I believe this makes up ninety percent of the tobacco addiction. When you develop a smoking habit, you unconsciously develop a desire to smoke in certain situations, such as when watching TV. This is called a conditioned response. Stop smoking hypnotherapy helps eliminate the unconscious associations that cause one to crave cigarettes, thereby eliminating the conditioned response to smoke. Hypnotherapy also helps you stay motivated to give up smoking by strengthening your beliefs that gave you the desire to stop smoking in the first place.

Smokers get stuck in the habit of following a ritual of lighting up and smoking. This is why people who attempt to stop smoking using nicotine patches or gums alone usually have such a difficult experience. They quickly overcome the physical addiction, but they have no relief or replacement for the ritual of smoking, which has become a mental habit and pleasurable source of stress relief. Stop smoking hypnotherapy techniques eliminate this habit and serve as stress reducers as well. As a relaxation tool, hypnosis helps effectively relieve stress and anxiety so you will lose the cravings for cigarettes.

Combined with powerful NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques, quit smoking hypnotherapy can keep you committed to breaking the habit by training the unconscious to focus on the benefits of quitting. Eliminating tobacco benefits you in numerous ways. Within days of quitting, body parts damaged by smoking begin to heal, damaged nerves re-grow, and your sense of taste and smell improves. Within a few weeks, lung function and circulation improve. Within one year, your risk of heart disease is less than half that of a smoker. Within five to fifteen years, your risk of stroke is the same as a non-smoker. Your risk of dying from lung cancer and numerous other cancer risks have decreased, and the risk of heart disease is the same as someone who has never smoked at all.

In spite of the harmful effects of smoking and the health benefits of quitting, some smokers never overcome their unpleasant addiction. For the most part, this is because they have never really made a decision to quit. Other smokers are often afraid to suffer from withdrawal symptoms or let go of the smoking habit. However, quitting smoking does not have to be the agonizing process that makes so many smokers reluctant to even attempt quitting. Hypnosis acts as a very simple, natural method of quitting.

Hypnotherapy is an effective implement for eliminating cravings for cigarettes, building powerful motivation, and promoting relaxation and stress relief to completely eliminate the psychological addiction to smoking. Stop smoking hypnotherapy techniques can be learned from specialized self-hypnosis programs that have been developed after decades of experience using hypnosis, Neuro-VISION video hypnotherapy, and NLP to help clients kick the cigarette addiction.

Hypnosis programs make it easy to stop smoking forever because they break the smoking habit in a process that helps eliminate cravings and any desire to smoke. Whatever your motivation is for breaking the habit, hypnotherapy makes it easier to focus your mind on these reasons, which makes you feel a great urge to quit. Stop smoking hypnotherapy programs eliminate the compulsion to smoke. Although quitting smoking can be an unsuccessful and painful endeavor for some, those who utilize quit smoking hypnosis have a much greater rate of success because it makes the process easier. Hypnotherapy is the most effective method for smoke cessation.
