How Does Hypnosis Work

How Does Hypnosis Work

By Mary R. Joyce


Why do a lot of people smoke? There are many reasons. Peer pressure, boredom, the need to experiment and even self expression. These are just few of the many explanations why people engage in this kind of habit.To quit smoking is a great challenge. But it is certainly one of the best things you can do for your health. Smoking is a life threatening habit. It is the main cause of cancer. It also increases your predisposition to major heart attacks, strokes, lung problems, and other health conditions, which includes bone fractures and cataracts.
[How Does Hypnosis Work]


Lets look at it rationally. Smoking is a strange behaviour. Smoking is disgusting. Smoking stains your teeth and fingers. Smoking causes bad breath. Smoking creates an unpleasant environment for non-smokers. Most start smoking when they are teenagers because they need to be one of the 'crowd' and they want to be cool. If their friends smoke there's a lot of pressure to take up the habit. Other people turn to smoking because they are looking for a way to relieve stress. Even though tobacco does provide short-term relief, it is a contributing factor to stress in the long run.

Most smokers come to a time in their life where they want to quit. Perhaps their health problems have increased and they finally realise they have to give up their habit. Unfortunately, the addictive nature of tobacco has taken hold and makes it difficult.

A trained hypnotherapist can then tell the subconscious mind that a spider is nothing to be feared. They might for example guide the subject to visualize a spider dressed up as a clown, looking as ridiculous as possible. They may use special slow clear language to also relay this message. If this is done correctly, it will send out a strong message to the subconscious mind that a spider is not threatening, in a way that it understands. Once the subconscious mind understands this, it will no longer trigger the automatic fear response and a phobia is then cured.

If you choose hypnosis to help you quit smoking you should feel more relaxed and in control. Your intention to quit should still be clear in your mind. Your subconscious mind will kick in and help you to ignore the urge to "light up". If you choose to quit smoking using hypnosis, you will avoid becoming dependent on nicotine replacement therapy and also avoid the side effects associated with prescription drugs.

Smokers who have tried any of the aids to quit smoking and have found them unsuccessful, or who do not want to go for nicotine replacement therapy (some people find they cannot wear the patches or use the gum) then quit smoking hypnosis seminars can be an attractive option. However, there is a chance that the group hypnosis seminar may not work for some of you. This is because the depth of hypnosis varies from person to person, and the motivation for quitting also differs, everybody is different after all. Hypnosis requires absolute quiet with no distractions. If you are in a room full of other people you may be distracted by small noises which in turn, may make your concentration stray. A better option would be a one to one hypnotherapy session.

One of the most popular forms of 'help' for any of the above problems is hypnosis. A hypnotist, or 'hypnotherapist,' as they prefer to be called, speaks with the subconscious mind while the client is in a hyper-responsive and attentive state. The main question most people are asking is: Does hypnosis really work? The first thing to understand about hypnosis is: some people are more easily hypnotized than others, and it has nothing to do with whether a person is easily influenced, submissive, or gullible. People who are more intellectual and attentive, who love to read or listen to music are more easily hypnotized than people who have short attention spans.

Hypnosis is said to work by changing a person's state of consciousness with reduced peripheral awareness accompanied by strictly focused attention. The subconscious takes over the conscious mind, while the subconscious mind is a deeper-seated, more instinctive force than the conscious mind, this is the part which has to change for the patient's behavior and physical state to alter.

The hypnotized person must be able to put his or herself to "another place" in time. This does not mean entering the future or past, though common beliefs about hypnosis assert that this is possible. The "other place" is simply a focus on the present situation where the subconscious awareness takes the individual; it is where the entire surrounding environment is exchanged for sharply directed attention in or on a particular place or thing.It works for all sorts of everyday problems and more unusual human troubles and challenges like, controlling your anger, stop blushing, insecurity and getting over a relationship, overcome jealousy, stop nail biting, building self confidence, overcome phobias etc.
