Stop Smoking With Hypnosis Mind Power Wins
Please Bookmark:        |
When you think of hypnosis it automatically brings to mind the stage hypnotist making you do things you would never dream of doing and making you look a fool. Hypnosis is a strange and compelling phenomenon but contrary to what people think a hypnotic trance is not a state of sleep and you do have free will.
They are what is called hyper attentive and attuned to suggestion. Hypnosis is a trance like state where the subject is open to suggestion, relaxation and the imagination is heightened. It is not like sleeping as the subject is alert but in a type daydream, you could compare it to being lost in a book that really holds your interest.
You are so lost in the book that everything around you is blocked out and even when someone calls your name you don’t always hear it unless they are persistent. It is the same with a film you get lost in the film as if you were actually taking part. Your imagination is so strong that you believe the person really has been killed, or the same as a sad ending when you cry, you are with them and living what they are feeling.
It is a type of auto suggestion that can stay in your mind. If the book or film you have been watching was compelling it will stay in your mind long after it has finished, this is how hypnosis works.
If you decide to try hypnosis to help you to stop smoking, the hypnotist will suggest to you that you dislike smoking and that the cigarette leaves a nasty taste in your mouth. He will make different suggestions to convince you that you want to stop smoking.
You have gone to the hypnotist because you do want to stop smoking so with this already in your mind you are more receptive to his suggestions and you have every chance of stopping.
Will power will still be needed but with mind power included you will have more chance to overrule the urge to smoke.
Hi,
Enjoyed the post but from my own experiences I would suggest caution. Hypnosis is a great tool - but the subconscious is very very literal. One example that I can provide is a self-hypnosis that I did many years ago at a time when I was in a self-improvement phase of my life. As an afterthought I decided that I would like to be more popular and instructed my subconscious for me to be “cool”. It took me a while to realize that it was my fault when I was cold all of the time and couldn’t seem to warm up no matter what I did. Although this was easily corrected, I have seen instances of suggestions to the subconscious that were not easily corrected. I have listened to hypnosis tapes designed to help people stop smoking that were constructed in such a way that peripheral problems would arise. No doubt hypnosis has a valuable function - I have studied hypnosis in my masters program in psychology and studied NLP - but what is being said is vitally important in its complete context. This is an area where one should definitely choose a hypnotist who is positive, constructive and very very knowledgeable.
Hi Jean,
Your comment was really interesting. I have tried self hypnosis myself but without success but my instruction was from a book on self hypnosis.
I can see you are much more knowledgeable than myself on the subject but I understand what you are saying, it is not something to dabble with unless you have complete understanding of the subject as the consequences could turn out different to what you expect.
To produce the result you did you must have a clear understanding of hypnosis especially as you were able to reverse the problem.
