How does hypnosis work?

Our minds work on two levels – the conscious and the unconscious. We make decisions, think, and act with our conscious mind. The unconscious mind controls our habits. In the relaxed state known as hypnosis, we can communicate directly with the unconscious mind. This is why it is so quick and easy to change habits of a lifetime with hypnosis.

Will hypnosis work for me?

Generally speaking, every normal person is “hypnotizable.” That is, people with an IQ of at least 70, and no severe mental disorders. Therefore, virtually anyone can achieve successful results using hypnosis.

How will I know if I am hypnotized?

Most people can’t tell the difference between the hypnotized and the waking states. Most people feel relaxed and lethargic, others feel a lightness. One thing that people do notice is an inexplicable change in their daily behaviors. [back to FAQs]

Is hypnosis safe?

Hypnosis is completely safe. You are aware and in control at every moment and can terminate the session at any time. Hypnosis is not sleep, nor can you get “stuck” in a state of hypnosis. You can’t be made to do something against your will! Hypnosis is a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable experience.

How does hypnosis help me to kick the smoking habit?

Because smoking is a habit, it is controlled by the unconscious mind. Since hypnosis and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) work directly with the unconscious, this is the only method that makes sense! We can help you effortlessly transition into the healthy lifestyle of a happy non-smoker. [back to FAQs]

How long has hypnotherapy been used to help people quit smoking?

For more than a century. However, it started gaining in popularity as a treatment method for smoking in the 50s when hypnosis was accepted by the American Medical Association as a viable treatment method. Recently it has accelerated in popularity as more and more people have heard—usually from word of mouth—about its effectiveness. [back to FAQs]

How will I feel when I quit smoking?
Will I gain weight?

You will feel ecstatic at the end of the session. And the reason why is because you will feel empowered to be able to eliminate a life-threatening and dangerous habit from your life. Will I gain weight? Quite the contrary. We have found that the empowerment that people have as a result of quitting smoking often to extends to other areas of their lives. When a habit is correctly removed with the use of hypnosis, people don't have to replace it with some other habit such as overeating. It's almost as if they never smoked. In fact, they'll tell you that if you ask them. Many clients will go on to expand their focus on living a healthy life. If they are overweight, once they have actually eliminated a negative habit such as smoking, and have access to more energy and better breathing, they may choose to adopt positive habits such as healthy eating, exercise, and drinking water.

I know many people who have tried patches and nicotine gum with little success. Why is that?

Because the whole concept of Nicotine Replacement Therapy is based on the mistaken assumption that nicotine is a physically addictive substance. When you compare nicotine to heroine, which is really an addictive substance, you'll notice that people that suddenly stop taking heroine go through physical withdrawal symptoms. With the 1,000s and 1,000s of clients we've seen over the years, we've never seen anyone have physical withdrawal symptoms from stopping smoking. Smoking is simply a habit, and another word for a habit is an unconscious behavior, something that a smoker does without thinking about consciously. All unconscious behaviors (habits) are kept in the unconscious mind. The simplest, easiest, and most direct way to change a habit is to communicate directly with the unconscious mind using hypnosis. This is why, when it's done correctly, time and time again hypnosis has proven to be far more effective than patches and gum. [back to FAQs]



Is nicotine replacement therapy safe?
Isn't it just as dangerous as cigarettes?

We believe that it can be as dangerous, if not more so, than the cigarettes. We have seen clients who are using patches and chewing nicotine gum, and we've seen quite a few who are also smoking at the same time. Nicotine, although not an addictive substance, is a very powerful poison. Some say that 1 drop of pure nicotine, if it were injected directly into the blood stream, would be enough to kill a person. When you see someone who is chewing gum, using patches, and smoking, you've got to ask yourself 2 questions. First, "What effect is this having on their body?" The answer to this question is usually obvious. Their heart's racing, they can't sleep, they're experiencing a degree of anxiety, as well as various other symptoms. This is the body's way of trying to eliminate the poison. The second question, and perhaps at least just as interesting is, "Why on earth are they still smoking cigarettes when they have 3, 4, 5, even 10 times the amount of their normal dosage of nicotine going into their body?" The answer to this question is, "If nicotine was an addictive substance, they would have more than enough nicotine in their body to not smoke cigarettes." So it proves once again that smoking happens not because nicotine is an addictive substance but because the act of smoking itself is an unconscious behavior.
