How To Quit Smoking With Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a therapeutical tool, not entertainment. It provides an altered state of awareness which can allow access to the subconscious mind. This allows an individual to address underlying desires and fears, in order to help him/her work towards important goals, such as quitting smoking.

During hypnosis to quit smoking, hypnotherapists often use imagery with unpleasant outcomes that come from smoking, such as the unpleasant smell or leaving your mouth feel parched.

How Does Hypnotherapy Work for Smoking?

Using hypnosis to quit smoking usually focuses on three main ideas:

Smoking poisons your body

Your need your body to live

You should respect your body and protect it

Studies show that the majority of smokers would love to quit smoking. However, nicotine addiction is deeply rooted in the subconscious mind, holding them back from being able to quit. Stress, mealtime, driving, drinking alcohol and many more things, all subconsciously trigger thoughts that cause cigarette craving.

During hypnosis, you follow relaxation and breathing techniques to reach a frame of mind similar to daydreaming; you’re aware, but at the same time, the mind is disconnected and more open to suggestions. Hypnosis works to shut off the voice in your head that urges to you light up a cigarette; it reframes subconscious thoughts to think negatively about smoking.

Afterwards, when you experience a smoking trigger, the mind doesn’t automatically react – it slows down and listens to this new information you’ve provided.

“It’s been a year now since Monica helped me quit smoking. I had smoked between 2 and 3 packs a day for thirty eight years. Cigarettes were $2.50 a carton when I started! Monica helped me quit in ONE VISIT! No side effects, no cravings, no mood swings, no weight gain, and best of all my blood pressure dropped. I tried Wellbutrin and Chantix, but the side effects were so bad I couldn’t continue. Thank you Monica and NoVA Hypnosis!”

We all know that smoking adversely affects your health. Even moderate smokers have experienced a sore throat or difficulty breathing when climbing a flight of stairs. And, of course, there’s the threat of more serious health consequences. Give hypnosis a chance to successfully help you quit smoking and live life with full (and clear) lungs:

“I have been a believer in this type of therapy for years. My mother quit smoking through hypnosis. In fact, I work with and have visited A LOT of integrative medicine providers and alternative healers, so have a lot to compare to when I say that Monica and her team at NoVA Hypnosis and Wellness are the best at what they do.”

Although the number of smoking adults in the U.S. dropped from 20.9 percent to 17.8 percent from 2005 to 2013, smoking is still responsible for 480,000 deaths per year in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports. According to the World Health Organization, tobacco is responsible for 5 million deaths per year worldwide.

Don’t be a statistic. Give hypnosis a chance and surprise yourself with your new smoke-free life.
