Your subconscious mind decided along the way that smoking was fulfilling a need. It was a strategy that worked and as long as it worked, there wasn’t any need to change it. The best way to make that change now is to work with the subconscious mind directly.
Hypnosis is one very powerful method for resolving issues from your past, releasing your true potential, and finding the confidence that has always been inside you.
We can look at the mind as a collection of a few different parts. Each of these parts has its own qualities, characteristics, and functions. What you are able to do in hypnosis is show your subconscious mind that a healthier way of life is the way to go to meet your needs.
Just by bringing up a positive memory, you can not only re-experience the original state, you can actually intensify the physical sensations and mental attitudes at will.
Had I known then what I know now, I could have applied a few simple self-hypnosis techniques and found a solution much more quickly. By simply entering the relaxed state of body and mind that we achieve in hypnosis, I would have been able to invite my inner fears and criticisms into a dialog.
