Clinical Hypnotherapy
You may already be aware of the
traumatizing effects smoking has on you. Are you looking to stop
smoking? Did you know once you do stop you may be able to also lose
weight? You will feel better about yourself and possibly save yourself
from possible cancers, stroke, heart diseases, and lung diseases.
Bad Habits
Think back to your adolescent years.
Were you denied a lot, told no, or maybe yelled at often? You could have
a nervous condition stemming back to when you were young that is
causing you to smoke. Smoking has been found to be a psychological
condition where people believe they truly need to smoke to calm their
nerves. Once you have acknowledged your reasons of smoking you are ready
to find ways to stop permanently.
What Is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is simply mental “focused
attention or concentration” which is used to bypass the thinking
analyzing mind to enable a person access to their subconscious mind
where all of our experiences are stored (what we hear, smell, taste,
touch and visualize). Hypnosis is a heightened state of awareness which
actually has nothing to do with being asleep. Hypnosis is a natural
phenomenon which is a bit like daydreaming which both humans and animals
naturally go in and out of many times every day. We all know what its
like when we go in to “autopilot” when driving a car perhaps not
remembering much of the journey but still got to our destination safely.
How You Can Conduct Hypnosis At Home
You could learn self-hypnosis so that
you can hypnotize yourself. Once you understand what hypnosis is, you
can try some of the techniques your hypnotherapist could recommend for
you and do it in the comforts of your own home.
- Create physical relaxation by staring at a focal point in front of you slowing your breathing down.
- Create mental relaxation by counting slowly downwards from the
number 100 downwards doubling the mental relaxation with each number
until you cant be bothered to count anymore (it should just take a few
numbers if done correctly).
- Once you have achieved that, use your imagination to create a
relaxed scene in your mind. It could be in a field of flowers, in the
clouds, or in a forest watching the birds and animals. In this scene
imagine a flight of steps that leads down to a door that leads to a safe
and secure room where only you have the key to get in to. Imagine
walking slowly down the steps or stairs doubling the physical and mental
relaxation until you arrive at the bottom of the stairs. Then imagine
yourself entering your safe room and lock the door behind you. Create
another scene inside your safe room where you can really use your
imagination (what you see, feel, hear, smell and taste).
- Then imagine resting somewhere in your safe room and quietly in your
mind repeat positive suggestions or visual images of becoming
successful at what you want to achieve as many times as possible in the
time frame you have.
- When you want to exit self-hypnosis just imagine exiting your safe
and secure room and walk back up your stairs back to full awareness.
Please do not attempt self-hypnosis if
you suffer from any form of psychosis or have suffered any kind of head
trauma without consulting your own doctor or professional clinical
hypnotherapist. They will be able to give your all the advice that you
require.
