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

This card trick is very impromptu and can be done with a borrowed deck. There is no need to practice and no sleights needed.

Trick:

You predict a card without even touching the deck.

Method:

You hand a whole deck to your spectator and tell him to shuffle it. You then tell him to count 26 cards which is half of the deck. As he/she is counting, you remember the seventh card. Then tell him/her to set aside the 26 cards counted. You then write your prediction to a piece of paper. Next, tell him/her to pick any three cards from the other half. After that tell him to put the other half on top of the counted 26 cards. Put the three cards in a row order face up. Tell him for each card how many will he add to make it 10. For example the three cards are a six, seven, and a king. You will add four cards to six, three cards to seven and zero to king as it is considered 10 together with jack or queen. You then add the three cards: six + seven + 10 (king) = 27. You then tell the spectator to get the remaining cards face down and count until the 27th card is reached. The 27th card is the card you predicted.

Here is a another free card trick that requires a bit of preparation and practice. It can be done with a borrowed deck with a little misdirection to perform the flip.

Effect:

The spectator s chosen card appeared to be different from the rest.

Explanation:

You setup the deck with all face down except for one card at the bottom. You spread the card asking your spectator to choose one card. Be careful not to reveal the face up card at the bottom. You tell your spectator to pick the card, look at it, and remember the card but as he does, you flip the cards over. So you have one card face down and the rest face up. You tell your spectator to put the cards somewhere in the middle of the deck. Be careful not to reveal all face up cards. Then tell your spectator that you will put all cards behind you and reveal your card within a split second. What will you do here is you just get the top card and reveal it. This is obviously not his card. You then spread the cards face up to reveal one card that is face down. This is your spectator s card.

Do you fear darkness to such an extent that even a 20 second experience in the dark can leave you breathless and terrorized? Have you not stepped out into a street for the last 2 years because you were too scared of the crowds? Does the sight of a spider make you scream in horror?

There are all kinds of phobias in the world. Phobia of injections, phobia of flying; phobia of public speaking, and phobia of creepy crawlies, people are inflicted with a surprisingly large number of phobias. But most of us get through our lives dismissing these phobias as fears. However, there is a crucial difference between fear and a full blown phobia. While fear is a rational feeling which originates out of our survival instinct; phobia is essentially irrational. A fear can keep you from being harmed; a phobia on the other hand can cripple your existence.

It could have been a childhood incident which your conscious mind has forgotten, but your subconscious has held on to.

Hypnotherapy has a variety of techniques to help you with your situation. Through visualizations and NLP methods, not only can you identify the cause behind your phobia, but also learn to deal with it in your present life. It can teach your subconscious mind to adopt a different pattern of behavior, so that when you are faced with your phobia, you can deal with it in a fearless fashion. Hypnotherapy teaches you to relax and be calm under stressful situations, and you will be surprised with the results.

The results which you can achieve with Hypnotherapy are effective and long lasting. You can keep reverting back to the techniques of self hypnosis at any point in time to tackle a phobic situation. You can auto suggest your mind to be brave and fearless. Go ahead; give hypnotherapy a try to treat your phobias. Hypnotherapy in High Wycombe and Buckinghamshire has brought respite from phobias closer home.
