What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a state of highly-focused concentration, referred to as “the zone” or in a state of “flow.” This mental state is achieved through the use of specific relaxation and other techniques that are each customized for each client in order to quiet the critical mind and allow the client’s subconscious to receive positive suggestions for mental, emotional, and physical health, well-being, and optimal performance in life, at work, or in sports. Many terms such as guided imagery, visualization, mental rehearsal, guided meditation, and guided breath work are all euphemisms for guided hypnosis.
The use of hypnosis may help overcome limiting beliefs, remove obstacles to your success, change stubborn unwanted behaviors, and achieve your goals more quickly and in a more lasting way.
Easy Smoking Cessation Program
Have you smoked for so long that you almost can’t remember what it’s like not to smoke? Despite this do you think quitting will improve your quality of life by improving your health and relationships? Have you tried to quit before but failed to quit for good using products like the patch, mints, lozenges, etc.? Do medications like Zyban or Chantix make you feel bad or give you weird dreams?
Hypnosis has been used in the treatment of addiction and negative habits for decades. Today, scientific studies back the efficacy of the practice, including:
A study found those who used hypnosis in combination with the nicotine patch for smoking cessation were more likely to remain abstinent after one year than those who used behavioral counseling coupled with the nicotine patch. (Carmody, 2008) A small study found that 81% of smokers quit after three hypnosis sessions, with nearly 50% still abstinent at one year. (Elkins, 2004) Another study found a 90% success rate at 6-months to 3-years among 43 smokers who received hypnosis for smoking cessation. (Barber, 2008)
If any of this sounds like you, it may be time to explore the possibility that therapeutic hypnosis may be one of the most effective means of becoming a non-smoker for life.
