Hypnosis To Quit Smoking – Do It Yourself
Millions of people know the benefits of hypnosis to quit smoking. What many of these people may not be aware of is that you can actually hypnotize yourself. Self-hypnosis is a really effective tool for overcoming any addiction like smoking cigarettes. Learning simple self-hypnosis techniques will not only give you the motivation you need in order to quit smoking, these techniques will also help you deal with the psychological and emotional aspects of giving up smoking, as well as helping you to understand why you feel the need to smoke.
First, you need to find a quiet, private place and sit or lie down. You need to close your eyes and take a few deep, slow breaths and get totally relaxed. Don't force it, just focus on your breathing and it will happen. That's when you have achieved what are called alpha brainwaves - like you get immediately before falling asleep. It's then that you can start talking in your head to your subconscious and using hypnosis to quit smoking. The following script ideas show you how you can use self-hypnosis to quit smoking. They are aimed at telling your subconscious mind the harm that smoking does and visualizing how much better off you'll be when you quit smoking. It should be remembered also, though, that these are only script ideas, and you need to think carefully about what it is that motivates YOU to smoke; it's only when you focus in on these very personal reasons for an addiction that you will be able to match up your conscious and subconscious minds and bring them into alignment, so that your unconscious mind is not holding you back from quitting smoking. That's hiow you use hypnosis to quit smoking. Stop Smoking Script (This is to be done when you are in a relaxed state and prior to bringing yourself out of hypnosis. You can read the script a few times but for best effect, memorize it so that you can just say it quietly in your head and not spoil your relaxation.) Visualize yourself in your calm place. Imagine yourself on a beach Feel the warmth of the sun on your face and the sand beneath your feet As you begin walking along the beach, feel a soft breeze against your face This place is just how you want it to be and you feel like you could stay here as long as you need to As you feel the sun on your face and the sand beneath your feet, while hearing the soft breeze blow by you, you notice a group of people You walk towards them and you notice that they are smoking Notice a gloomy darkness all around them; they're not sharing the sunlight that shines on you. A cloud hovers over them Smell their ashtrays and notice how unhealthy these people look Her them cough and try to get their breath Walk past them and notice what a relief it is to be past them Look ahead of you along the beach as you walk, to a beautiful place Again notice the warmth of the sun on your skin and the feel of the gentle breeze Notice how strength and healthy you feel Notice how the invigorating fresh air fills your lungs Enjoy this beautiful place as you feel your breathing become easier Now notice another group of people as you walk towards them Notice how happy and energetic they are Feel accepted into this group as you stop by them Visualize these people dressed in colourful bathing costumes, playing beach ball and just enjoying the lovely day Notice how much energy they have and how much fun they're having as they relax and play on the beautiful beach Enjoy the warmth of the feel from this group and you walk along the beach, feeling the warmth of the sun and the sand beneath your feet and the gentle breze on your face As you walk along the beach, realize how light and energetic you feel and how healthy you feel, being able to breathe easily enjoying the beautiful day Stop for z moment and look down into the water See the sun gleaming on the water and feel the breeze against your skin. Notice the smell of the fresh air as you enjoy the wonderful view over the water Take a few moments to enjoy this place and then slowly walk along the beach again Notice how easily you breathe and how strong and healthy you feel Stop for a moment and look over to your left where you will se a person who is very special to you See them smiling and cheering because you have left behind an old bad habit and moved forward to this beautiful, healthy place. Notice how warm and healthy you feel. As you move forward you notice ten steps and you begin to climb them… This takes you into counting yourself out of the hypnosis.
