Quit Smoking Through Hypnosis You have seen and heard the
warnings. You know what smoking is doing to your lungs. Perhaps
you have tried to quit smoking before, but the gum tastes bad
and no matter how hard you tried you just can’t pretend that the
inhaler is a smoke. You’ve even tried counseling and
prescription medications. So, what else is there for you to try?
You should definitely consider hypnosis to help you quit smoking.
Why You Should Quit Smoking Smoking does many things to your
lungs. If you have seen the before and after pictures, you know
how smoking takes a healthy pink lung and turns it into a black
unhealthy one. Smoking can bring about cancer, emphysema and can
increase your chances of heart attack and stroke. What causes
this? The chemicals in cigarettes are outstanding and many of
them are poisonous. There is also benzene, a chemical in
gasoline, cadmium, found in batteries and oil paint, and
hydrogen cyanide that cause headaches, dizziness and nausea.
There are actually 4000 chemicals and of these 43 are cancer
causing. One ingredient is acetone, an ingredient in nail polish
remover. Arsenic. That is right, arsenic, the ingredient that is
used to kill rats! Arsenic is what gives your lips a burn and
your mouth a very bad taste.
What Happens When You Quit This is what happens to your lungs
after you quit smoking. Within 20 minutes of quitting your heart
rate begins to drop. Twelve hours off the smokes brings your
carbon monoxide levels to normal. Between two weeks and three
months smoke free you begin to lower your risk of heart attacks,
and your lung function improves.
Within one to nine months, you will find that your coughing
level is lowered and your lung capacity increases. One year, and
you’ve already cut your risk of a coronary heart disease is cut
to half of what it was when you were smoking. Fifteen years and
you now have the same risk of a non smoker of having a coronary
heart attack.
What Can Hypnosis Do? Hypnosis is not what the cartoons and
movies portray. You do not sit in front of a creepy man as he
sways a dangly object in front of your face. The goal of
hypnosis is to suppress the conscious side of the brain, which
is the "thinking" part of the brain with which you function most
of the day. The purpose is to let the subconscious become
available for tweaking by you and the hypnotist. Often, the
hypnotist will work to teach your subconscious to equate smoking
with something unpleasant, like nausea. While counseling only
works on the conscious part of the brain, hypnosis works on the
deep rooted subconscious levels of automatic thought.
Many hypnotherapists can help you quit smoking with just a
single session of treatment
