Stop Smoking

You can reprogram your mind and body to stop smoking permanently and painlessly using the powerful and proven methods of hypnosis. Unlike other methods that you may have tried before, this method can help you stop immediately...with no anxiety, no withdrawals, and no weight gain!

You know as well as anyone the terrible health consequences of continuing to smoke. If you had no cravings for cigarettes you would stop right now wouldn’t you? Hypnosis is an excellent method for ending the cigarette habit, because it removes the cravings, and since you no longer have an urge to smoke, why bother with all the stink and expense and inconvenience? Once the cravings are eliminated, all that is left is the old habit, and you can easily learn new habits to replace the old one. 

Hypnosis works effectively to create change because it temporarily bypasses the conscious mind and allows access to the unconscious mind. Then behavioral changes are accomplished through powerful and beneficial suggestions.

Hypnosis combined with relaxation techniques, visualization, future pacing, and your motivation and commitment to stop smoking are powerful techniques to stop smoking.

The essential ingredient for success is your commitment and desire to be a non-smoker. Hypnosis cannot make you do anything you don't want to do. If you are not ready or willing to stop smoking then no one, including a professional hypnotist can force you to do it. You may have reasons for not quitting right now: stress on the job, divorce, out of work, going through hard times, or death in the family, etc. For those of you who have reasons not to quit smoking immediately: check out the reasons to stop smoking today.

Hypnosis will enhance your ability to visualize yourself as a non-smoker, enjoying new health, energy and vitality. Visualization enables you to see, hear, and feel cigarettes as unappealing, bad tasting, foul smelling and revolting. And it’s also possible to feel and sense clean breath, a healthy appearance, disappearance of wrinkles caused by the smoking habit, and increased sensitivity to taste, fragrances and smells. You can visualize yourself looking healthier, more active, in better physical condition, breathing easy with stronger, healthier lungs.  Through hypnosis, the senses of sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste can all be enhanced and utilized to modify reactions to achieve your goals.

You can increase your chances

To maximize your chances of quitting cigarettes with any stop smoking program, we also recommend that you do the following:

1. Avoid alcohol and caffeine for the first 2 weeks of quitting cigarettes to increase your chances of successfully breaking the smoking habit.

2. Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day for the first 2 weeks of quitting cigarettes. This flushes the nicotine out of your system and reduces the cravings.

3. Stay busy. People who are bored are more inclined to smoke again.

4. Use your new energy on something productive. Take the extra energy that you have from not smoking and use it to exercise, start a new project, or get involved in new, fun activities that make smoking inconvenient.

5. Reward yourself for not smoking. Take time out of each day that you haven't smoked and reward yourself. Enjoy your favorite meal, doing your favorite activity, go for a walk or just take time out to smell the roses.

6. Keep your hands busy. A carrot, toothpick, or whatever can be used as a "hand to mouth" replacement for cigarettes.

7. Avoid being around smokers for the first week if you can. Simply tell your friends or co-workers that you've quit smoking and to please not smoke around you. If your spouse is smoking around you, ask them (nicely) to smoke outside or in another room.
