Story of a former smoker!
As a former smoker, I know how ruff it can be to “kick the habit”! I told myself numerous times that “this time, I’m quitting for good”, only to be drawn back into the clutches of cigarettes & smoking. So how did I quit? I have not always been, mostly due to pure ignorance, a big believer in the mind/body connection, but I am a total believer now. This is why, after I discovered the concept of inner growth, hypnosis was the natural path to take.
Is hypnosis the “cure all” for everything? I wouldn’t go so far as to say that, at least until I learn more. I do know though, that for me, self hypnosis is an excellent weapon to have in my arsenal when it comes to giving up smoking, overeating, or alcohol, as well as dealing with a many of the other problems & pitfalls we commonly face in our lives today.
So what was it about hypnosis that worked for me when other common “stop smoking” methods failed? I’m sure that you know that there’s a long standing debate as to whether smoking is a nicotine addiction or a habit. There are valid arguments for each side, but I always thought of it as more of a habit and I’m not sure whether it really matters at this point. For instance, I didn’t like to smoke while I worked, but I thought it was a great reason to take lots of breaks. One reason was because I worked with my hands and usually need both of them to do my job. The other reason is because I knew that the smell from smoking was disturbing to others, even when it was just on my clothes. I typically smoked lightly from the time I got up in the morning, and all through the day at work. But then I would leave work and as soon as I got in my truck, I smoked like a freight train until I went to bed that night, especially if I hit the bars before going home. There were times when I smoked and times when I didn’t smoke. I could almost turn it off and turn it on again when needed.
When I started analyzing this, I wondered why I could go for many hours and never think about smoking, then when triggered by certain events, (like getting in my truck after work), I’d think that I would die if I wasn’t smoking one cigarette after another? In my mind, smoking was possibly just a really bad habit that I should be able to change if I knew how.
What I have learned is that habits are where you can truly feel the power of hypnosis. Hypnosis works by altering habits at a subconscious level. Someone can tell you to quit smoking at a conscious level and you would probably just laugh at them. When you’re experiencing hypnosis, you can visualize and experience being a non-smoker, and that is really cool and extremely powerful! You will learn that you can be calm, relaxed and stress free without cigarettes.
With hypnosis, I didn’t quit smoking because the hypnosis program has some special power over me. I quit smoking because I “wanted” to quit. Hypnosis is simply a tool that helps people to see their goals as obtainable and to achieve their goals. There are no gums to chew, no prescription pills to take. It’s just you….you and your self hypnosis program. You quit smoking because your body and mind are taught to realize that smoking isn’t natural. Healthy breathing and a life without stress because of cigarettes “is” natural and it is within everyone’s reach.
If you’ve heard that hypnosis could help you quit smoking, but were never comfortable giving it a try, I would encourage you to check into it yourself. Hypnosis is totally safe and you can practice self hypnosis in the comfort of your own home. There is no need to go to a so called “stop smoking hypnotist”. There is a wealth of hypnosis information available, but it can be kind of overwhelming, so I have done a lot of the work for you.

I smoked for 25 years and there must have been a reason for it. Ever since I began my quit journey a few months ago I have cried bucket loads of tears. It was the anniversary of my mother’s passing today and out of nowhere I broke down and cried for a few hours. I can only attribute this to grief that is soul cleansing and perhaps smoking inhibited these processes in the past and hence I am crying a lot now once the smoking is removed.

I think this article was actually a sweet start to a potential series of articles about this topic. A lot of writers act like they comprehend what they’re preaching about when it comes to this area and generally, nearly no one actually get it. You seem to know about it though, so I think you need to start writing more. Thanks a lot!

Good tips. Educating yourself is very important – “trying very, very hard” without taking the time to educate yourself properly first can be a waste of time.

Most scientists will not waste their time and effort on the paranormal simply because they think it’s worthless and useless. Somebody would have to at least wish to believe in it to spend their time inventing equipment to prove it is true. Guess it’s left to us amateurs since the scientists won’t help us.
