SMOKING CESSATION HYPNOTHERAPY
Do you wonder why you haven’t been able to stop smoking on your own?
Read on to find out the Real Reasons and how you can STOP SMOKING for the rest of your life.
How it started:
You were probably a teenager when you first started smoking due to peer pressure. Back then, you had the choice of either fitting in by smoking like your other friends or be the odd man out – a loner. At first, you probably started coughing and choking. You noticed that the taste was pretty disgusting but after a while, you got used to it and continued.
This is where the mind connection to smoking starts. Why? Because there is a part of our mind called the Subconscious whose main goal is to protect you from any dangers. That being said, you may be wondering why your subconscious mind would allow you to start smoking? Your mind is like a super computer that sums up situations at high speeds. It decided that there were two choices – either start smoking and be accepted by your friends as part of the pack or become a loner and possibly go into depression due to the rejection. The resulting depression might even lead you to do something grave like kill yourself. That – your mind could not allow, hence, your subconscious decided that smoking protected you from danger as well as helped you make more friends; it decided that smoking = safety.
The Problem. With time, your smoking habit became cemented into your subconscious via repetition. As an adult, you no longer have the need to smoke for protection and acceptance. You now continue to smoke but for different reasons: to de-stress via addictive nicotine. Whenever you feel stressed and anxious, you pick up a cigarette and in a few moments you feel calm again. Your mind has learned to associate your smoking behavior with the toxic calm of nicotine.
The reason you haven’t been able to stop smoking is because you’ve been trying to do it via Will Power. Will Power is located in the Conscious part of our brain. Will Power gives a short burst of mental energy for a short period of time and no more. That explains why you’ve never been able to quit smoking. The moment your Will Power runs out, you go back to your old behavioral pattern of smoking.
Why Hypnosis to Stop Smoking?
Notice how habits and behaviors are located in our Subconscious mind. This is the reason why we must access this part of your mind to create positive long-lasting changes. This part of your brain runs on automatic. Whenever you are faced with a new situation, your mind – in faster than the blink of an eye – goes to this same place to find information (Negative and Positive behavioral patterns) on how you have reacted to this same or similar situation in the past. Your mind keeps pulling up those same smoking patterns over and over. Since your brain is like a super computer, we must remove the smoking program and replace it with a smoke free program.
Hypnosis uses the laws of the mind to create the changes you want so that you don’t have to suffer anymore to achieve your goals. That’s because the Subconscious mind is much more powerful than the Conscious. It is the source of your real power – the very core of who you are resides here. In fact, it is estimated that about 88% of the mind resides in this area, hence the reason why hypnosis is so powerful and effective.
Hypnosis helps you to stop smoking without fear! Not only do you stop smoking, but you are given the tools to:
- Control anxiety so that you no longer have to pick up a cigarette again.
- Lose Weight instead of gaining it
- Crave fresh air instead of cigarettes
Instead of feeling bad about yourself for being unable to stop smoking, Hypnosis replaces those feelings with a sense of well-deserved pride as you attain your goal of not smoking a single cigarette again. Just imagine enjoying another beautiful sunny day in Los Angeles, breathing clear fresh air.

A study of 43 people showed a 90.6% success rate for people who were given hypnosis while trying to quit smoking. They were not smoking 6 months to 3 years after. University of Washington, School of Medicine – 2001
In the largest ever scientific comparison of ways to quit smoking, results showed that a visit to a hypnotist beat out a psychologist, social worker, psychiatrist and other physicians by a margin of 19% (or one to five). This meta-analysis of more than 600 studies covered more than 72,000 people in America and Europe. The University of Iowa – 1992
