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.

Are e-cigarettes a good way to quit smoking? Perhaps

The popularity of e-cigarettes is growing and many people are reporting that the e-cigarette is helping them to quit smoking.  This can be a good thing however the best thing would be to become a non smoker and not rely on any type of outer stimulant for the benefits of relaxation.  Fact is what the body wants is to BREATHE!!

If you can learn to inhale deeply without the chemicals and additives associated with traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes studies say you can live a longer healthier life!
Give yourself the gift of life..breathe clean fresh air and drink plenty of clean water.
While e-cigarettes may be a way to quit smoking, be mindful of what types and flavors you are inhaling.  Some may be harmful.  Also be aware of the dangers associated with the mechanisms you choose.  There have been reports of fire and explosions.  The reward may seem to be an easy fix but are you just replacing one bad habit with another?

Why not try to quit smoking   naturally?  Hypnosis is one of the fastest and easiest ways to quit smoking!  In fact some people quit with just one session.Hypnosis can a safer alternative to smoking cessation.  That is if you want to quit…many people enjoy the sensations of smoking, the taste , the smell,  the habit of breathing in the smoke.  Hypnosis may help you if you want to quit.  Some folks are professional quitters and have no desire to stop.  Hypnosis is not a magic bullet to make you do something against your will.  If you want to continue to smoke you probably will.  If that’s the case see a  tobacco cessation specialist like the one at amustardseedhealing.com.  You will learn the many benefits of being a non smoker and get the motivation to quit.  Never give up!.  Cigarettes are proven to kill however as a non smoker your body may begin to heal.
After a few days of not smoking the sense of smell returns and the smoker actually begins to remember what freshness smells like.  During the “recovery” phase of becoming a nonsmoker the sense of taste returns and food starts to taste like real food again(not like tobacco and the reported thousands of chemicals being inhaled with each puff).  This is a fear many folks have of becoming a non smoker.  The fear of gaining weight.  With hypnosis the suggestion can be given to become a non smoker and not gain any weight, some folks have reported losing weight because as non smoker they have more energy.  Energy is great because with more energy instead of smoking perhaps after dinner (or whatever) you can take a nice relaxing walk.


The benefits of becoming a non smoker with hypnosis far outweigh using an e cigarettes or any chemicals.  What are the chances the chemicals in the e-cigarette solution are as toxic as the chemicals in a cigarette?  Why take a chance.
So are e-cigarettes a way to quit smoking?  I have clients that have successfully quit using an e-cigarette.  Some describe the e-cigarette as being a way to break the habit of the regular cigarette, this is probably in part to the similarities of both products.  You light up after a particular event or during the same time each day so it is a familiar activity.  People are like electricity  and tend to take the path of least resistance.  What breaks the habit is usually the weight of the e-cigarette.  Because it is heavier than the traditional cigarette there is a noticeable difference and this awakens many people to fact of what they are doing and they quit.
There are many ways to give up addictions and bad habits like smoking. The one that is most effective is the one that works.  Try and try again! Never give up on achieving your goals.  I’ve seen clients who quit in one session and I’ve seen clients who refuse to quit because they are not ready to. I always suggest they relax give it break and come back when they are ready.. no pressure. A partner, spouse or family member wants them healthy.  That pressure creates more stress and makes it even harder to let go.  A cigarette may be the only time you take a really DEEP breath and let go..sad but true.
It will happen just as rapidly as you relax!  breathe deep and let go, let it all go…
Be well!

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!
The picture below is of a normal lung and one of a smoker.  (photo courtesy tocancer.com)

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.
