 Various people may have various reactions to self-hypnosis, however the fact remains that it is fast emerging as a field of science which can prove beneficial in successfully addressing a myriad problems in anyone’s life. Contrary to popular belief it is not about ’seeing a magician’ or ‘getting help’, it’s about being self empowered.

Our subconscious mind is more powerful than we can ever imagine, and it’s high time we gave it, its due. Self-hypnosis is all about connecting our conscious mind, with the subconscious mind. It’s like making two long lost friends meet each other. Or better still, like helping two spouses who often miss connecting with each other on a busy day, reconnect with each other. In order to master the art of awakening our subconscious mind, it is necessary that we take out time from our hectic schedules to talk to it, to coax it to blossom into its full glory.

Self hypnosis is about taking the responsibility of bringing about changes in your life, in your own hands. It is meant for anyone who wants to work at changing aspects of their personality, or habits that they have formed.

The process of self-hypnosis is something that is as similar to driving a car. When we first learn to drive it, we are careful about all the maneuvers that we need to make to have a smooth ride, push the accelerator, release the clutch, steady the wheel. When we first begin, it seems like we would be reduced to nothing but nervous wrecks while driving; however, as time passed and driving became a routine, most of us did not pay even the slightest attention to the strategies required to drive a car. Because we function on something called auto-pilot.

The act of driving, and all the maneuvers associated with it are so well imprinted in our minds, that we do not need to put in a conscious effort. It has by default become a part of the subconscious mind. Self-hypnosis too, is related to the subconscious and it requires practice. There is a certain amount of discipline required to awaken our sleeping subconscious.

With the help of self-hypnosis, you can successfully alter habits such as smoking, nervousness, drug or alcohol addiction. Similarly when it comes to personality development, use of self hypnosis can make you a more confident and assertive person, it can instill a positive self image, become a performance booster and even help make your life a better place to be in.

Self Hypnosis is basically a means of letting your subconscious mind communicate with your conscious mind. We can only establish contact with our subconscious minds, when we relax and let our conscious mind take a back seat.

Our subconscious mind has immense powers, and it can be mastered with routine practice. Once the programming has been done, our little computer functions automatically on the responses it has stored in early practice sessions.

The Psychology Of Breaking The Chewing Tobacco Addiction
By Alan Densky

 For many people around the world, smokeless tobacco is at least something they have tried, if not something indulged in regularly. Most people associate smokeless tobacco with sports stars, and falsely believe that it is a safe alternative to smoking. Unfortunately for them, this can all too often prove dead wrong.

All different types of people use this highly addictive substance and no one is safe, dependent on social status, race, or gender. The reasons for using smokeless tobacco vary widely from appetite control to generalized stress reduction. And this epidemic is hurting the world. Targeting the world’s future with the primary users being only teens and sometimes preteens, it is a debilitating substance.

The truth of the matter is that teens and smokeless tobacco are getting to be excessively close to each other and creating lifelong habits and health risks that are just too great to be overlooked and too dangerous to be ignored. Adolescent use of smokeless tobacco is on the constant rise, with some users starting when they are only nine or ten years old.

Rural Caucasian teens have the highest risk of using smokeless tobacco products, and if the teens live in a household with an adult user, their chances of following the trend rises dramatically. Approximately 9.3% of all high school students in the United States use smokeless tobacco products. Among the white male student body, the average is approximately 1 user in 5 students.

But what are the effects of smokeless tobacco and what are the advantages and disadvantages of using it? On the plus side of course is “looking cool,” and fitting in. It also causes an odd sensation in users by first calming them, by the release of dopamine in the brain, and then exciting them with a release of adrenaline. Also the appetite is suppressed.

On the down side are consequences that make the reasons to chew look completely insubstantial. Use of smokeless tobacco causes a number of diseases, along with dental problems, bad breath, and of course the financial spending of the user to obtain smokeless tobacco. Most tobacco users with a can a day habit, over three decades at current prices will spend up to $50,000 on chewing tobacco in their lifetime, assuming they survive their addiction long enough.

There are no known cures for either the gastrointestinal or the oral cancers smokeless tobacco brings, and this may cost a fortune in medical treatment and sadly, perhaps funeral expenses.

Quitting smokeless tobacco is widely thought to be much harder than kicking the smoking habit. A part of the addiction is the tremendous amount of nicotine absorbed by the body when dipping or chewing. This amount is two times as much as that received from smoking a cigarette.

But how can one beat their smokeless tobacco addiction? Various products are on the market to help people quit using snuff and chew, such as a product that uses the spearmint plant to mimic the tobacco without supplying the nicotine. And some success has come from receiving same shot that inhibits receptors in the body for smoking. But the best way to quit forever without withdrawal symptoms, stress, and weight gain is through hypnotherapy.

Hypnosis offers a two-fold attack to the ritualistic dipping or chewing reflex built up by your prior habits and lifestyle choices. It first works to eliminate the psychological motivation for why you desire a dipp, and then it attacks the mental habit itself.

First you’ll want to consider the emotional reasons. Dopamine is a “feel good” chemical produced in your body and released by your brain to create a feeling of pleasure. In times of stress, the dopamine produces a general feeling of well being. Some common occurrences of natural release include eating a large meal, or sexual relief. In other words, putting some chew into the mouth gives a sense pleasure and relaxation. The very essence of hypnosis is relaxation, and hypnotherapy is excellent for promoting stress relief and relaxation.

Hypnotherapy also works to break the cycle of expectation that your mind creates. When you put in a chew after dinner, your mind begins to tell your body that you need a chew after every dinner. By inhibiting or eliminating this thought process, you won’t feel the need to habitually use smokeless tobacco.

By extinguishing these two root causes of chewing tobacco use, hypnotherapy programs can eliminate the urge to chew or dipp, stopping your physical need for the extra dopamine release. Thus hypnotherapy works in freeing you from this harmful addiction and allows a stress free method of stopping.

Using Hypnosis To Quit Smoking
By John Hubert

 Smoking is an addiction that many people aren’t able to break. It plagues all countries around the world, from America to Europe to all the other regions, and no matter how hard some people try, they just can’t kick the habbit.

What many people don’t realise however, is that they can use hypnosis to quit smoking, and it’s a lot easier than some people may think. Just what do you know of hypnosis exactly? Is it based on fact or preconceptions, word of mouth or beliefs that are unsubstantiated? If you answered that you didn’t know, then allow me to explain just what hypnosis is.

Hypnosis you see is a form of treatment and psychological deepening technique that has been around for many hundreds of years. It’s only been recently that hypnosis has started to gain such a wide acceptance by the public, and also an understanding from the scientific community. So how can one actually use hypnosis to quit smoking however, you might ask? The answer is, through the same techniques as you’d use hypnosis in any other way.

Hypnosis works by placing our mind into a deeply relaxed and tranquil state, known as a trance. When it’s in this state then we can give our subconscious certain suggestions, which it will subsequently act upon. If you just can’t quit smoking, you can give yourself a suggestion such as ‘I will have no desire to ever pick up another cigarette again’. Whilst you’re in hypnosis, this suggestion will seep into your subconscious. When you awaken yourself from trance, don’t be surprised if you do in fact end up quit smoking, as that is precisely what the hypnosis session was supposed to make you do.

Lots of people will automatically dismiss hypnosis as not working, even though they haven’t tried it. The thought of running around the room doing odd things that some mad stage hypnotist suggests isn’t what hypnotherapy is really about. Hypnosis can be therapeutic just as it can be entertaining, perhaps even more so. For this reason it’s important to try and understand that hypnosis can help you quit smoking, if you put your mind to it. Now no one is saying it will happen immediately, it may take a couple of missions, but using hypnosis to quit smoking has a very high success rate.

If you’re tried every other method under the sun to kick your addiction, from nicotine patches and gum right through to trying to quit ‘cold turkey’, and none of these methods have work, then in all honesty and seriousness, why not give hypnosis a go? It can’t hard, and the worst that will happen is that you’ll experience a relaxing state of warmth without any affects. So at the very least, you’ll become relaxed whilst in the state and enjoy it, even if it doesn’t help you. But odds are however that it will do something for you and your smoking addiction.

So don’t be one of those people that says ‘you can’t use hypnosis to quit smoking’, be one of those people that actually gives it a go and sees for themselves just how well hypnosis can work. What we don’t try we will only end up regretting, so why not give hypnosis a go today? You never know what may happen.
