This works very well on subjects that are confident visualisers, such as Beckie. If they are very good at visualising things you can easily do this. To see if you are a good visualiser, think of a nice juicy lemon. A beautiful aromatic one. And imagine you squeeze it and watch the juice drip out of it… Now, if your mouth is watering you are probably a very good visualiser. If you want to learn more about hypnosis see my tutorial series… It’s not hard and you can have a lot of fun with it. www.VancouverHypnotherapy.org

If you’ve been thinking about getting the stop smoking help you need to finally quit smoking, there is no better time to give it a try. The research against smoking mounts every year and I’m sure you’ve heard enough smoking facts and statistics now to convince you to give it a try… if only you had a clear methodology to follow to help you quit smoking once and for all.

Well, different people try different approaches of, course.

There’s the cold turkey method – withdrawal symptoms and all – that works well for some people.
There’s the idea of weaning yourself off slowly – but that can just extend the discomfort – it’s kind of like being on a diet where you feel like you just never have quite enough to satisfy you.
Then there’s all the various quit smoking aids – nicotine gum, nicotine patches, even prescription medications. But these can be expensive and have side effects of their own.
Stop smoking hypnosis is something that sounds a little woo-woo to some people and they won’t even try it. But I recently read a study saying out of 5,000 people who tried a NLP/hypnosis program to stop smoking that 97.2% where able to quit. I’m sure that’s a lot better than most of the stats for smoking cessation programs out there.

If you’re ready to give up smoking now, there’s certainly a lot of good information out there for you to try. The bottom line is that you’ve got to choose a method, set a goal, and stick with it.

Many different pictures come to mind when people hear the words self hypnosis for weight loss.  You may think of somebody laying on a couch being talked to in a soothing voice or maybe what comes to mind is one of those old TV shows where someone was hypnotized by a shiny, dangling watch.  Although you may have preconceived notions about self hypnosis for weight loss, it is practiced by hundreds of thousands of people around the world and is highly effective when done properly.

Self hypnosis for weight loss is pretty easy to practice.  You use techniques such as visualization and positive self talk to program your mind to think in a new way after you have brought your body into a completely relaxed state.

STEP 1

The first thing you need to do to practice self hypnosis for weight loss is to get comfortable.  Laying down will work best, just make sure you don’t fall asleep.  To release tension in your body start by tensing then relaxing each part of your body starting from your forehead down to your toes.  While you’re doing this you can visualize standing under a gentle waterfall and imagine that the water flowing over your body is washing away all your tension.

STEP 2

Next you’ll want to focus on your breathing. Imagine that when you are inhaling pure, fresh oxygen is filling up your body.  As you slowly exhale repeat the word relax to yourself.  To deepen your sense of relaxation you can visualize yourself going down a long flight of stairs slowly or or simply count down from 100 as you focus on your body relaxing more and more.

STEP 3

Once you are completely relaxed you will use positive affirmations to address the issues concerning you.  If you’re using self hypnosis for weight loss you may want to try suggestions like “I enjoy the taste of fruit and vegetables,” “I love how I feel after I exercise,” “I enjoy being slim and fit.” You just need to keep repeating these affirmations until you feel satisfied.

STEP 4

To come back to awareness simply count from 0 to 10 while focusing on the numbers until you feel completely awake.  You may have to count from 0 to 10 more than once until you feel ready to get up and start normal activities again.

Developing your own self hypnosis for weight loss program will go a long way to helping you finally overcome the obstacles holding you back from losing weight and keeping it off.

Eft Hypnosis

Cigarette smoking is an expensive, potentially dangerous, and more and more socially unacceptable form of stress management that millions of people try to quit each year for these, and other, reasons. Besides the fact that smoking is expensive and potentially deadly, cigarette smokers also have to deal with smelly clothes, bad breath, stained teeth, and a car/home/work environment that smells like smoke and ash trays. Smokers often start wildfires by tossing their still-burning cigarette butts out of their car windows; and occasionally die in house they accidentally set with carelessness – and a lit cigarette. There are obviously many reasons to quit smoking; but, traditionally, quitting smoking is not an easy task. Having helped many people quit smoking, using a variety of methods, I can safely say there are many ways that will work; but there are two that have proven themselves to be highly effective, safe, quick, easy, and affordable – Hypnosis and EFT.

Next to simply quitting “cold-turkey,” hypnosis is probably the most common method used for smoking cessation; and it has been effectively used for thousands of years to help people overcome problems and habits – and the underlying mental and emotional triggers that cause the smoking in the first place. There are many ways to use hypnosis to quit smoking. A hypnotherapist could help you uncover and/or release the underlying perceptions causing you to experience the stress and anxiety you have thus far been using cigarettes to calm; or, a hypnotherapist could focus on helping you establish different behaviors or habits – a non-smoking habit, for instance. Hypnosis for smoking cessation is typically done in anywhere from one-session to six, or more, sessions – depending on the client and the particular approach used by the therapist. But hypnosis can also be done at home, by your self – self-hypnosis – or by using hypnosis tapes or C.D.’s. (Never listen to ANY hypnosis C.D.’s in your car, or while operating any vehicle or machinery!) Qualified hypnotherapists can be found in the phonebook, or online, by looking for, “hypnosis,” “hypnotherapy,” or “stop smoking hypnosis.” Eft Hypnosis

The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is another method, or technique, that is commonly used to help people stop smoking. I actually prefer EFT to hypnosis for two reasons: First, it can be much, much quicker (which is an important factor in a clinical practice); and, Second, EFT is quick, easy, essentially free, and can be used by anyone, anywhere – even in a moving vehicle. Where hypnosis works by essentially “recording” new behavioral programs into the memory; EFT works by breaking the connection between the problematic, stress-thoughts and the behaviors or expressions those thoughts cause. In other words, it can help you put out your own fires before the stress needs to be managed by some behavior that you’ve found to be effective in the past, like smoking, for example. Besides being effective at modifying behavioral impulses, EFT can be used to eliminate the stress in your life that causes the feelings you seek to cover-up, or sedate, with the chemicals in cigarette smoke. No stress equals no need for stress management; and that’s essentially all cigarettes are – a potentially dangerous form of stress management. The good news with EFT is that, once the basic technique is learned (which only takes a few minutes), EFT can be used on any problem or condition with remarkable results. Eft Hypnosis

If you’re a smoker, whether you’ve been smoking for weeks, months, or years, then you’ve probably looked for the best way to stop smoking.  Maybe you’ve considered, or even tried, the reduction method or just quitting cold turkey.

Have you ever considered using hypnosis to stop smoking?  It is likely that, if you’ve tried to quit cold turkey, you failed, because it does not address the necessary change in mindset required to finally put away such an addictive habit.

 What is Stop Smoking Hypnosis?

Stop smoking hypnosis reinforces positive changes in your behavior while reducing, or even eliminating, your urges toward negative behavior. Hypnosis alters your perceptions and behaviors by changing the control center of all conscious thought patterns–your subconscious mind.

 How Does Stop Smoking Hypnosis Work?

All longstanding behaviors and patterns are rooted in your subconscious mind.  That is why it is difficult to change old behaviors, even if we intensely desire to. After all, the physical addiction to nicotine passes from our bodies in a matter of 3-10 days. But, it is the mental addiction that is the most difficult part of quitting.

Smokers, through behavioral repetition (habit), have rooted the act of smoking deep into their personalities. They have taught themselves, through a form of negative self-hypnosis, “They just don’t feel right,” unless they are participating in those old habits.

Often, when smokers try to quit, they replace their old bad habits with new bad habits. To satisfy their oral fixation, they begin eating more. Usually, they start to eat candy or junk food to fill that “hole” where “something is missing.”

Benefits of Quitting Smoking

Nevertheless, if you’ve really set your mind to quit smoking, hypnosis actually changes your mindset from the inside out.  You no longer feel the urge to fill that hole, because your mind does not think that anything is missing. In fact, you really understand all the fantastic things you gain from stopping such an expensive and harmful habit.

The best thing to do is replace your old bad habits with new and positive ones. When you quit smoking, you’ll have a larger lung capacity, so you can go for long walks or ride a bicycle through the park. You’ll find great relief being able to work on projects without the need to constantly stop and light up. You won’t have to worry about leaving friends at a restaurant or bar just so you can go outside and smoke in the cold.

Advantages of Stop Smoking Hypnosis

They great thing about hypnosis is that it plants deep and powerful suggestions into your subconscious mind.  With the help of hypnosis, you can quit smoking in a painless and natural way, without the use of toxic tasting gums, or dangerous and unsightly skin patches. You’ll feel empowered to fill your routines with positive, life-altering behaviors instead of harsh and painful ones.

Not only will this prevent the dreaded weight gain (which I used as an excuse so many times as a smoker), but it will even allow you to explore new hobbies and perspectives on your life.  Think of all the time you’ve wasted smoking when you could have actually been doing something! Stop smoking hypnosis is an amazing, life changing tool that will not only decrease your urges to smoke, but can change your whole mindset about yourself! Stop Smoking Hypnosis–The Best Way to Stop Smoking Without Gaining Weight

Medical research is now proving the effectiveness of hypnosis in making for a relaxed pregnancy and far more comfortable delivery.  This article is simply intended as a brief guide to how hypnosis can help in many different ways, ranging from its successful use in prolonging pregnancy, reducing complications and thereby preventing premature delivery (Schwartz, 1963, Omer 1986, Omer 1987) to the reducing of delivery time by a massive 2 to 4 hours (Jenkins and Pritchard, 1993). 

Most people do not understand what hypnosis really is and therefore cannot appreciate how vital its use can be in taking control of your pregnancy and well being.  Hypnosis is normal and natural and is finally becoming recognized in the medical profession as an extremely valuable tool to assist in many areas of health, not just in pregnancy and childbirth.

In the Jenkins and Pritchard study referred to above, not only was delivery time dramatically reduced, significantly less pain medication was administered.  They also found that the incidence of postpartum depression was reduced and the incidence of spontaneous deliveries was increased. All this of course, is better for mother and child, and also the medical personnel dealing with mother and child.  In the Omer study mentioned above the birth weight of the babies was significantly greater than in a control group.  Again, this is much better for the baby.

Hypnosis is also known to be a natural aid to increasing your chances of conception.  This makes very good sense as hypnosis is a state of relaxation and reduces stress which is known to be a barrier to getting pregnant.  It is also quite logical that the more relaxed you are during pregnancy the more comfortable and relaxed your baby is as well.  Once again, medical research supports this phenomenon. Mothers using self hypnosis to reduce stress and anxiety whilst pregnant had fetuses that moved more actively than those who didn’t. (Zimmer, Perets, Eyal and Fuchs).

Other than the prime importance of having a healthy baby, the thing that every single prospective mum is interested in is, of course, pain control.  A lot of research has been carried out in this field and so I’m not going to refer to particular studies, but merely say that its effectiveness has been sufficiently well proven.  Simply type “hypnosis for pain control in childbirth” into Google and a whole host of information will appear.  It is worth remembering that before pharmaceuticals became available to assist in pain control, the only technique available was mind control; and you can learn to use your mind to put your natural opiates to work.  I’m not advocating that you use hypnosis instead of pharmaceuticals; simply that this is a natural option open to you and both are complementary.  

I think everyone will agree that in the Western world medicine in general has moved from one end of the scale to another with the advent and easy availability of so many new pills and potions.  It has become the norm to look to the medical profession to provide a pill in answer to every circumstance instead of looking to see if there is anything you yourself can do to assist.  For best results, a combination of mind and medicine cannot be too highly recommended.

In what other ways can hypnosis assist in making your pregnancy a more comfortable experience? How would it feel if you could overcome morning sickness?  Or have a confident body image through pregnancy and after the birth?  You can also use hypnosis to avoid the baby blues and overcome post natal depression…and help is even at hand to get your baby to sleep well!

So you can now see that there are many, many ways in which hypnosis can help you to have a comfortable and relaxed pregnancy and an easy childbirth.  Suggestions can be given which will help you through each of the three trimesters, assisting you in reducing not only anxieties and tensions and emotional ups and downs but also physical symptoms like aches and pains, heartburn, flatulence, backaches, swollen feet and legs, high blood pressure and so on. 

What’s great about hypnosis as well is that the more you practice it the deeper the states are that you will achieve.  As you relax in hypnosis your brain wave patterns change from the beta waves of normal waking consciousness to the alpha waves of drowsy relaxation to the theta wave patterns associated with dreaming.  You have plenty of time whilst pregnant to practice your hypnosis so that you can readily access the deeper states (just as yogis learn to do this) which will allow you to more greatly numb your perception of pain at the time of the birth. 

On top of all this good news, you can get hypnosis downloads instantly and listen to them in the comfort of your own home, and they are really very inexpensive.

Everyone approaches the idea of stopping in their own unique way and for their own reasons. In a similar way, each individual has a unique twist to their habit. Some people only smoke socially; some only smoke in the evenings, some smoke 20 a day, some 50, and so on. Each person’s expectation about how easy or how difficult it may be to stop tends however to be on more similar lines. Most people look upon the final act of quitting smoking with about as much fondness as the prospect of having their leg amputated!

Thoughts tend to run along the lines of “how will I cope?” or “I’ll put on 20 pounds in weight” or “I’m going to be really grumpy”, etc, etc. Thinking like this definitely does not help matters. You are creating an expectation that it will be very difficult and extremely uncomfortable. You are creating an expectation of weight gain, bad temper and failure. The thing is, what you expect to happen, does indeed happen. Such is the power of your own mind. This is why you have to get your mind around stopping smoking to pave the way to success and long term freedom from the weed.

You can feel a bit hungry, you can feel pretty stressed. This can last up to three weeks if you go cold turkey. BUT if you get your mind around the subject of stopping smoking you do not need to suffer this discomfort; you do not need to be subjected to an inner battle of wills inside your psyche. You can use hypnosis to access the inner workings of your mind, to access your subconscious mind, the part where deep-rooted habits and beliefs are stored. Smoking is a habit, and its various patterns, associations and behaviors are wired into your subconscious mind. You more often have a cigarette in hand before you even think about it, than consciously think, “oh, I fancy a cigarette now”.

With hypnosis you can learn to relax and change state and this is a great mental skill to acquire if you are worried about being a ratty so-and-so! With hypnosis you can learn to distract yourself from cravings and this too is a rather useful mental skill in the process of stopping smoking. Just imagine how much easier it will be to quit smoking if you no longer suffer from cravings…You can, with the help of hypnosis, effectively zap ANY cravings you might otherwise have had. Hypnosis, in short, can provide you with the inner steel to quit as it guides you to think in a different way, both consciously and subconsciously.

Wouldn’t it feel nice if you didn’t have to avoid smokers or social occasions? This too, can be achieved with the correct use of hypnotic suggestion. If you thought that you would not be affected by other people who are still smoking and so could mix with them comfortably, would that make stopping smoking a little easier as well? This too, is easy to achieve…with the help of hypnosis.

Hypnosis is the real key as it allows you to get your mind around EVERYTHING you ever worried about or was afraid of. You don’t have to put on weight and become a roly-poly person! In fact, the correct hypnosis suggestions will empower you to wonder why you ever smoked; why you ever smoked will be a complete mystery to you. Nothing else will ever control your life again, as you learn to use the hidden powers of your own mind, with the help of hypnosis.

I’m sorry if I sound like a broken record or a parrot. But the key really and truly is – you got it! – HYPNOSIS. The only proviso here is that you need to be guided with the RIGHT suggestions; you need to cover every base, every circumstance and every eventuality. And your mind needs to adjust in bite-sized chunks, which is why I recommend a four step approach.

The four steps to stopping smoking successfully with hypnosis are these:-

Step 1 – challenging and changing your present belief system and making sure that you look at stopping smoking from a different angle. You need to address your thoughts and beliefs so that they can be changed quickly and easily. You can then create an expectation that you will quit smoking easily without experiencing any negative effects at all.

Step 2 – When you are ready to stop, you do it, there are then. Now it’s time to be guided by hypnotic suggestions which turn your desire to stop into immediate action. Now you learn to think as a non-smoker, not as a smoker who is attempting to quit.

Step 3 – Reinforcement is the name of the game. Learning to enjoy being a non-smoker and appreciate the benefits is the key here. And you don’t feel that you are out there on your own; you can listen to your hypnotic download every day and reinforce again and again how great you feel. It’s also important to notice how you feel better physically and kick-start your body’s ability to self-heal. Suggestions can be made to create new habits and expectations about lifestyle, eating, social events, and so on.

Step 4 – The final step is to future pace; to step into the future and imagine yourself as you want to be, to see yourself as a non-smoker forever. It’s no use being a non-smoker now whilst at the same time having an image of you smoking in the future!

So these are the four steps to stop smoking easily with hypnosis. You don’t even have to go and see a therapist,stop smoking hypnosis downloads are easily available on the internet.

If you are interested in hypnosis to help with some problem, then instant downloadable hypnosis mp3s are one choice.

There are four points to consider:

Are hypnosis mp3s the best choice for me?

Is the person who created the hypnosis downloadable competent?

Is it guaranteed?

Should I use traditional or Ericksonian (conversational) inductions.

Are instant downloadable hypnosis mp3s the best choice for me?

The choice is either to have sessions with a hypnotherapist or to use some form of audio at home. Some hypnotherapists may also give their clients a CD to use at home as a support for their work with the hypnotherapist.

For many hypnosis downloadables may be an ideal choice because of the flexibility they afford. They are a cheap way to begin therapy and may be very effective. You can always use a therapist later if you don’t succeed.

They can be used several times per day, thereby reinforcing the effectiveness of the treatment.

A hypnosis mp3 could be used first thing in the morning or last thing at night before sleep – a very effective time to plant suggestions. These are great times to have sessions but not very practical with a professional hypnotherapist.

Is the person who created the hypnosis downloadable competent?

He should be a member of a professional association for hypnotherapists in your country. You can search for his qualification in Google to find out exactly what it means. You can also search in Google for “professional hypnotherapy associations”. Of course, the best recommendation is that he has good testimonials.

Is the mp3 guaranteed?

If there is a full guarantee, you can always get a refund if you aren’t satisfied with the product. One advantage of an mp3 is that there is no physical product to return if you aren’t satisfied.

A downloadable is very flexible. You can listen to it on your computer, download it to your iPod or burn it onto a CD to use in your CD player.

Should I use traditional or Ericksonian (conversational) inductions?

Personally, I have a strong preference for Ericksonian inductions. Milton Erickson was a great hypnotist who revolutionalised the way hypnosis is done. His inductions don’t contain the traditional direct commands but use a much more permissive language which causes much less resistance in the listener. These kind of inductions make it easy to just relax and let go of your conscious concerns and allow you to access the full resources of the unconscious mind. Erickson made great use of stories which encourage change without any obvious command such as “Give up smoking!”

So, having checked the guarantee and that you’re dealing with a reputable hypnotherapist, you have everything to gain by giving guaranteed hypnosis CDs a try.

Self Hypnosis: Easy Ways to Hypnotize Your Problems Away – Revised Edition

The self hypnosis techniques are as unique as the individuals performing them. No one feels the same, enters the hypnotic state the same or benefits from the same scripting. Individuals must find a comfortable self hypnosis technique in order to obtain the maximum benefit of hypnosis.

One of the most important parts of hypnosis is the pre-planning and determination of the reasons for entering into hypnosis. Most individuals are well aware of their reasons for self hypnosis. A habit, fear, or pain management may be the underlying problem you are trying to solve.

The self hypnosis technique for some individuals may include a comfortable seat in the house. Imaging a peaceful scene with full visualization of the environment of the hypnotic state. For others it may be a seat in the garden with the sounds of nature assisting in the induction of the hypnotic state.

Everyone is different and they should experiment to find the method that works the best for them. You may need to try different places, relaxation techniques and even sitting arrangements, before you find the perfect method.

There are a variety of scripts that individuals can use with self hypnosis. If you are looking for change self hypnosis for a particular behavior you may want to use a replacement scripting.

For example, if over eating is what you are aiming to change, you can suggests under hypnosis that instead of craving chocolate you will crave a fruit or some other nutritious food. Now many would ask, Well why can’t you do that without hypnosis? The reason is because when awake we are not in a highly suggestive state.

When awake we are functioning mainly from the conscious mind. The problems and negative scripting are typically found in the unconscious mind. So under hypnosis we can change those scripts in the unconscious mind when we are in this highly suggestive state. If you are looking for higher self esteem you may want to suggest to yourself all the positive attributes you have. Change the negative self talk and scripting from negative to positive.

Subliminal self hypnosis is very effective and can help individuals with a variety of situations. Whether it is hypnosis for anxiety, fear or addiction it is a tool that can be used on a daily basis to curb cravings and mentally walk ourselves through daily life. If the issue is chronic pain, a person could use subliminal messages to guide them through easing the pain by escaping to another place.

Anyone can learn hypnosis it is not difficult and best of all you can learn for free. With the cost of living in today’s world, many find themselves living paycheck to paycheck with little left at the end.

This is another reason to turn to self hypnosis, there is no cost. You can perform hypnosis in your home without incurring any other expense. If you want music you can turn on the radio, or nature sounds can be achieve with hypnosis outdoors.

There are books, tapes and other enhancements that can assist you with the induction, but they are completely up to you. So if you need a change or find a way to relax then try out free self hypnosis, we will show you how. This is for self hypnosis, but there is training available to learn to hypnotize people.

In a quite room you will want to find a place to relax. Maybe on the couch, chair, bed or where ever you are most comfortable. Next you will want to determine what you want to achieve with hypnosis. Take a few deep breaths and begin focusing on one thing. This could be a spot on the wall, picture or something else that is an inanimate object.

After focusing on your object you will want to repeat to yourself that you are feeling sleepy and eye lids are becoming heavy. Allow for all the stress in your body to run down your arms and out through your finger tips. Tell yourself that you are relaxed from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.

Once relaxed imagine a staircase and begin walking the staircase until you have reached the number ten stair. Counting as you go and telling yourself that as you walk the staircase you are going deeper and deeper into hypnosis. Once you have made it to the tenth stair you will then tell yourself that you are in hypnosis.

At this point you can explore your surroundings, how does it feel, hot or cold, wind, smell and other physical attributes of your environment. At this point you can then rehearse the positive scripting into your mind. Remember you are highly suggestible at this time so what you change your scripting to will be your new thoughts.

When you have completed your self hypnosis session you will begin up the stairs counting backwards from the tenth stair. As you climb the stairs tell yourself you are coming up from hypnosis and will awake with a feeling of wellness. Once you have made your way up the staircase then tell yourself to open your eyes and return to the normal awake state.
