Pretoria Hypnotherapist's Stop Smoking Program.

Dec. 7, 2009 - PRLog -- Some people would LIKE to stop smoking, but don’t really want to and this severely limit’s the effects of hypnosis. If you can hold a cigarette in your hand, look at it and honestly say “I don’t like you, and I want you out of my life“, you are probably ready to stop smoking using hypnosis and you will probably stop in your first hypnosis session.

Hypnosis works by bypassing the judgemental part of the conscious mind. As this judgemental part of the conscious mind is bypassed, the suggestions given are not scrutinised the way they normally are, and move into the subconscious mind. Once a suggestion has found its way into the subconscious mind the subconscious mind gets to work to make this a reality. The subconscious mind is millions of times more powerful than the conscious mind at a computing level and so this new suggestion tends to become a reality.

While hypnosis bypasses the judgemental part of the subconscious mind, this is never a total bypass. The protective subconscious mind will not allow for the total bypassing of the conscious mind, and as a result of this only suggestions that are pleasing and reasonable to the conscious mind will make it into the subconscious mind. What this means is the person in hypnosis is always in control. The person in hypnosis is always driving, and the Hypnotherapist is merely the navigator. The person in hypnosis will not do anything he or she does not want to nor what he or she considers to be wrong.

Once a person wants to stop smoking its easy using hypnosis. The judgemental part of the conscious mind is bypassed and because the suggestions of stopping smoking are pleasing and reasonable to the client in hypnosis, these suggestions are readily accepted by the subconscious mind. Once these suggestions are in the subconscious mind the habit pattern is changed and the person in hypnosis has become a non smoker.
