Stop Smoking Remedies, Herbal Smoking Cessation

Hypnosis can be a very effective therapy for helping smokers to quit smoking. Studies have shown that hypnosis has about a 60% success rate when it comes to helping people quit smoking. That is 2 to 3 times more effective than quit smoking drugs. If you decide to use hypnosis to quit smoking then there are several methods that can be used. You can make a series of appointments with a professional hypnotherapist or you can use self hypnosis. In the case of self hypnosis there is a large choice of books, DVD’s and CD’s that you can purchase and use in your own time. In many cases these will have been specifically recorded for the task of quitting smoking. With CD’s and DVD’s there is nothing to learn as you just sit or lie down and listen to the suggestions on the CD or DVD.

Seeing a professional hypnotherapist will be the more expensive option but it is also the most likely method to succeed and to do so in the quickest time. However the cost really depends on the number of sessions that you require. Some people quit after just one session. Seeing a professional hypnotherapist can be very effective as they will have many years of experience dealing with smokers and they will be able to tailor your treatment specifically to your needs.

Hypnosis works by using your imagination to help you accomplish things that consciously you would normally find difficult. It works by bypassing the conscious mind and communicates directly to the subconscious mind without the usual mental chatter and reasoning getting in the way that normally undermines your attempts to quit smoking. You will find it easier to accept the positive suggestions as they will go directly to your unconscious mind. During the hypnosis treatment you will feel deeply relaxed and you will be in a light trance state. You will not be asleep and you will still be aware of your surroundings and will always be in control and still be able to respond to the world around you.

Your unconscious mind is in control of your automatic body functions such as keeping your heart beating and controlling your breathing. It is continuously aware via your senses of your surroundings even if consciously you are oblivious to what is going on around you. It will respond to hypnotic suggestions that you are not consciously aware of because it carries on functioning even whilst you are in a trance.

Whether you decide to see a hypnotherapist or use self hypnosis is likely to be determined by how much money you wish to spend or how quickly you want results. The cost of a self hypnosis CD is probably going to be less than a single session with a hypnotherapist, but you will probably have to wait longer for results. But then again you can listen to it as many time as you like.
