Maybe you
are looking for a fast and powerful way to Stop
Smoking or perhaps you are just feeling curious
about how easily hypnosis and NLP can help you to quit
smoking. Whatever your reasons, do take some time to
have a look around, and perhaps, allow yourself to
wonder about how easily you could be making the
changes you want in your life.
A
little tube of paper about the size of your little
finger, stuffed with tobacco has ultimate control
of your life.
Are
you satisfied with that?
If
not, then maybe the time has come to stop smoking with
hypnosis and NLP. Stopping smoking with Hypnotherapy
and NLP can be the answer to all the issues surrounding
quitting smoking. No pills or patches, no chemicals.
In the hands of a skilled hypnotherapist it becomes
remarkably easy to stop smoking.
Issues
surrounding the cigarette habit are dealt with so that
you are free of the need to smoke. Smoking is not a
function of will power but habit triggered by the unconscious.
That means that the unconscious can also be used to
trigger smoking cessation.
The
stop smoking treatment is spread over 2 separate hypnosis
sessions (approx. 2 hours in total) and uses a combination
of advanced hypnotherapy and NLP techniques. The cost
of the full treatment includes 2 sessions, CD, handouts
and a free backup session.

you are ready to stop smoking, call me

Your unconscious mind holds all your beliefs and habits
concerning smoking. These are beliefs and habits you
may not even be aware you have, and it is these that
keep you smoking.
Your unconscious mind is very powerful, so no matter
how hard you try to break a habit at a conscious level
of mind, the unconscious will always win, eventually
causing you to go back to what it considers 'normal'
behaviour for you.
Hypnosis is simply a natural state of absorbed attention
combined with heightened awareness. You will experience
this state of highly focussed attention naturally throughout
each and every day. Common examples might include, day
dreaming; when you are totally immersed in a book or
TV show; engrossed in a favourite hobby or even when
driving. Hypnotherapy is literally therapy done while
in the state of hypnosis and can be thought of as an
effective and speedy form of psychotherapy.
Using hypnotherapy and NLP, you are more in contact
with your unconscious mind, the seat of all emotional
and behavioural problems. Most other forms of therapy
are carried out at a conscious level, and often they
only work on the symptoms rather than the underlying
cause of the problem.
Through hypnosis, we can speak directly to your unconscious
mind and speed up the process of change by altering
your smoking habits, limiting beliefs and building motivation
to stay stopped. And even though your unconscious mind
is more powerful than your conscious mind, it readily
accepts new information when you bypass what we call
the Critical Factor, which is what happens during hypnosis.
As you can see, in order to stop smoking
and make true, permanent changes in your life, it is
necessary to get your unconscious mind in agreement
with what you want to accomplish, rather than fighting
and struggling to work against it.
The
quit smoking treatment is spread over 2 separate sessions
(approx. 2 hours in total) and uses a combination of
advanced hypnotherapy and NLP techniques. The cost of
the full treatment includes 2 sessions, CD, handouts
and a free backup session.

Ten
Ways to Know it is Finally Time to Quit
1.
Has your smoking habit begun to control
your life? Have you ever not been able to go to
sleep until you are sure that you have a cigarette
available for morning?
2.
Have friends and family told you that your clothing,
hair and breath smell like an ashtray? If they
haven't, you can be sure they are thinking it!!
Are you spending almost as much in breath mints
as you are in cigarettes? If you aren't embarrassed
about your smoking then why are you trying so
hard to cover it up?
3.
Are professional colleagues shunning you now that
they have quit smoking?
Let's face it… It is no longer "cool"
to smoke. Your smoking is viewed as a lack of
control issue. Exhibiting lack of control is not
the way to get ahead in your job.
4.
Do you sit in meetings focused only on getting
to the break so you can rush outside to smoke?
As a manager do you end meetings with things still
left to accomplish because of your need to smoke?
5.
Does your favourite restaurant not have a smoking
section any more? Non-smokers are now in the majority
and they do not want to taste your cigarette with
their expensive meal. Restauranteurs are attuned
to the bottom line, not your smoking needs.
6.
Are you standing outside smoking alone
because your spouse doesn't allow it in the house?
What do you think this is doing for your relationship?
Between work and your smoking alone, how
much time is available for your relationship.
Remember that breath mint… he or she doesn't
want to kiss an ash tray.
7.
You're afraid to stop this dangerous habit because
you fear the weight gain that so many people have
experienced, but you are beginning to fear diseased
lungs even more. Have you reached that "critical
pack years" that almost assures your painful
and agonising death? (1 pack-year = smoke equivalent
to 1 pack of cigarettes per day per year. If you
smoke 2 packs a day for 10 years you have reached
20 pack years) 25 is the critical number. You
don't have much chance of beating it at this point.
8.
What's up with those lines around your mouth?
The continuous lip pressure on a cigarette has
now begun to add years to the look of your face.
Squinting to keep the smoke out of your eyes isn't
helping them either. And most facial surgeons
won't even schedule surgery until you quit. Their
reputations are at stake because a facelift quickly
deteriorates when you continue to smoke.
9.
You get up in the morning and shower and use deodorant
before heading out the door for work. Why? Because
you don't want to offend anyone you come in contact
with. Notice how people back away after your first
cigarette? You might as well have gone to work
dirty!!!
10.
At work, do you smoke alone outside, in all weathers,
sunshine, rain, wind and snow? If a colleague
asked you to stand outside in the cold, wind and
rain, and drink a cup of tea or coffee with them,
would you think they had gone insane? Why would
you be prepared to do it for a cigarette but not
for anything else?
