http://modernlava.com/help-with-stopping-smoking/index.html Are you trying to quit smoking? Have you ever thought and wondered if hypnosis could possibly work to break you of your addiction? The truth is that hypnosis works for many people, but can be ineffective for other people. Why, you may wonder? The reason that hypnosis can be successful is because it implants suggestions into a smoker's subconscious mind when they are in an open, relaxed state. You are not actually unconscious when being hypnotized, contrary to what most people think. The majority of people that are hypnotized simply feel very relaxed and calm - yet completely aware of their surroundings and all that is happening around their body. During a hypnosis session, a hypnotherapist implants firm suggestions, verbally, into the subconscious of the person that desires to be a non-smoker. Usually these are suggestions that coincide with the patience desires to be able to breathe freely, have more respect for their bodies, break free from their addictions, etc.
