Hypnosis is possibly one of the world’s oldest forms of preventive and alternative non-medicine induced method of healing. Most people have a misconception of hypnosis through a lack of understanding it. Some say it is the perfect form of persuasion. Maybe it is… maybe it isn’t , but whatever it is, it’s been proven to work. Hypnosis helps you to relax, allowing people to tap into their subconscious mind, to create new realities through images and thoughts and to eventually manifest those into their own lives.

Research studies show that during hypnosis, clients are given coping tools for withdrawal symptoms and the urge to smoke. The client is given an audio cd of their training to continue their reinforcement of coping skills at home. The goal is that over time the client will gain increased confidence in their ability not to smoke. Hypnosis is gaining wider acceptance at some of the nations respected hospitals and medical research centers.

For women it may sometime seem more difficult to stop smoking. Studies speculate that the probable reasons might be due to the fact that some women are more emotional and sensitive than men. Therefore a woman may smoke a cigarette a lot quicker than a man. Because of this sensitive nature in women, sadness becomes another issue which hypnosis can address with a medical referral. Studies showed that hypnosis was helpful for would be quitters and with a much higher success rate with hypnosis than trying to quit cold turkey.

Most people start smoking young in years and continue across a lifetime; with multiple periods of remission and relapse.

Statistics released by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention show that more than 45 million people in the United States are smokers in spite of anti-smoking campaigns. Smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death.

Trying to quit smoking on your own has a far less success rate. Some researchers show that doing it on your own rates about 5%. Using hypnosis is above 66%, and 94% with multiple hypnosis sessions, using behavior therapy about 25%, and using Nicotine Replacement Products about 10%.

The benefits of not smoking are priceless and life changing such as: adding more years onto your life and gaining self-respect. Your lungs will become cleaner and stronger. You will have more energy, more of a sense of accomplishment and more time for the things that you have always wanted to do. (smoking occupies a lot of time) There you have it… not only will you look and feel better…you get to keep money in your pocket.
