A simple technique to help you stop smoking

Smoking is bad for you but you can't seem to quit and you're not alone.  Quitting is one of the hardest things you may ever do but may also be the most rewarding.  You see the commercials on television with the health issues from smoking yet you continue to puff away.  Logically you know smoking is bad for you but quitting is so hard!  What's up with that?
While the conscious thinking mind knows smoking is bad for you there is some benefit that keeps you puffing away. Hypnosis can help you quit but you can try this simple technique below to stop smoking on your own. 

 A simple technique to help you quit

Take a deep breath every time you desire a cigarette. A really deep breath mimicking the way you smoke.
Keep breathing deeply while you massage you hands or temples.  This will give you something to do with your hands instead of holding the cigarette.
Studies show the urge only lasts for several minutes so while you breathe in clean fresh air play your favorite song and remind yourself of the benefits of being a non smoker.
Allow the urge to smoke to pass.  Give it at least 3 minutes.
Relax your body and assume the posture like you do when you smoke.The chart below outlines the average number of craves daily.  You may experience more or less.  Do the breathing exercises consistently. Practice even when aren't craving.  Recondition yourself to breathe clean fresh air.

Hypnosis is an alternative that works
If you still can't quit . Call me. The results are amazing with hypnosis!  Many people are able to quit smoking in only one hypnosis session.  There are a few exceptions to every rule and I know it sounds out of the ordinary but it's true in only one hypnosis session it is possible to be a nonsmoker. In fact hypnosis may help you get rid of all types of negative behaviors and achieve many goals in your life.  Hypnosis works by bypassing the monkey chatter in the conscious thinking mind and  connect with positive thoughts, feelings and behaviors needed to achieve goals. The mind is so powerful that when properly focused it can and will accomplish goals like smoking cessation more quickly.

Some people may need more than one session.  It all depends on how bad you want to quit.  Hypnosis is not a magic bullet, as a matter of fact there are NO magic bullets!  There are no guarantees.  Your success is my success and I have plenty of success stories like the client who gave of smoking AND soda in one session.  All hypnosis is self hypnosis and your success is determined by you.

How to try to stop smoking for free

If I told you a simple way to help you stop smoking, would you at least give it a try?  One thing I tell all of my clients who want to quit smoking is that the cigarette manufacturers are very smart people.  They have created an industry worth billions based on a very simple need every human has.  The need to breathe.  Breathing is simply NOT an OPTION.  Every moment we are either inhaling or exhaling with a pause in between. Most of the time the breath is breathing you,  because you aren't paying any attention to it.  Thank goodness the body is made so brilliant.  Stop for a moment if you already haven't and take a really deep breath...again...just become aware of that amazing life force of air.

 Make a note to yourself....just breathe!
Take as much AIR as you want. IT"S FREE!!!also lots of WATER again IT"S FREE!

If you are like most people (warm blooded and alive) you walk around all day breathing pretty shallow.  Medical studies say we only use a fraction of our lung capacity and brain capacity(that's another issue) Then something happens. stress. life.  all of a sudden you may realize that you are NOT breathing.  Just how long have you been holding your breath hunched over that computer screen?
This thing happens that is pretty much involuntarily where when confronted by stress, fear, worry or concern where the body tenses up and the breath becomes very shallow.
It is during these times when smokers have what is known as a craving, the powerful desire to intake carcinogenic toxins into one's body.
The urge to take a really deep BREATH!
Here is the kicker.  What if you began to pay more attention to the breath.  Honor the life affirming breath that is the gift of life.  Instead of taking a drag of the thousands of cancer causing  chemicals in a cigarette, take a deep breath of clean fresh air.  Go ahead try it!
Take a really deeeep breath of fresh air and hold it.  Purse your lips like you would if you smoked but only take in clean air. repeat. again. Also give yourself a hand massage as you breathe deeply. just learn to relax naturally. According to this acupuncture websiteclick here there are some points on the body that help to stop smoking click here for more details or see a local acupuncturist for more info.  Try tapping or massaging these points while you breathe deeply.

The average craving for those chemical only lasts a few minutes so if you can keep breathing deeply the craving will disappear.  Begin gently and mindfully.  It is mind boggling how many smokers I see who  get dizzy on fresh air. lol
The more you remember to breathe clean fresh air and pass on the cigs the closer you are to becoming a non smoker. 
Each day replace cigarettes with this simple habit.  The more you breathe the easier it will become.  Don't wait for a stressful moment wake up each morning and honor life with a deep deep breath.
You can't live without it.
