Smoking- Does Hypnosis Work to Stop Nicotine Addiction?
What is hypnosis and can it really help with smoking cessation or a drug habit like nicotine?
The act of focusing your attention on an activity ( smoking or not) is simple hypnosis.
The mind is in a flow state and you are influenced by the incoming stimuli.
I have heard hypnosis compared to being in the groove, a steady flow .
Yes, the process works. You already do it daily when drifting off to sleep, waking up, in some flow states of working , listening to music and eating.
To do those things with a directed purpose is hypnosis.
Our culture supports smoking in a hypnotic way. It is an everyday thing. We walk past people who are on a smoke break. We see cigarettes for sale in stores, we are used to the sights and smells of smoking. The everyday moments accumulate into a hypnotic drone of normalcy.
But it is dysfunctional to abuse yourself by administering a poison to your system day in and day out. There are parts of our culture that are so messed up that even this post is mocked and even considered ‘church lady’ .
The only way you could force yourself to do something so self abusive would be through a hypnotic influence.
The daily seepage of information into your conscious and subconscious is certainly not clinical hypnosis but the process is similar— expand or contract a persons boundaries until they change either for better or worse.
Use self hypnosis to influence your behavior in a positive way.
There is plenty of good information on self hypnosis in bookstores and on the web. You could benefit from it to stop smoking nicotine and to come to terms with other areas of your life.
I don’t expect a simple admonition to frustrate you into quitting. It helps to underline the rationale—
Wake up from the smoking trance. This culture has tricked you into hurting yourself. Snap out of it.Quitsmart — Everything You Need to Break Free from Cigarettes
