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
