Hypnotherapist Reveals 10 Tricks To Quit Smoking

Did you know that hypnosis can ensure YOUR success in quitting smoking?

Imagine the benefits of a smoke-free life now. Greater energey, more confidence and control over your life. No more smelly breath and being ostracised or having to leave a pub or club for a sneaky cigarette, as if you were back in school hiding from teachers.

Renowned Master Hypnotherapist and Life Coach Richard Haggerty is making available through his website, www.StopSmokingCardiff.co.uk his 10 tricks to stop smoking online course to ensure that Cardiff smokers can quit smoking before the end of 2007. The articles provide tools and exercises that any smoker can use to quit smoking cold turkey without patches, gum, or pills.

"Over the past decade, I have developed and refined a quit smoking program that uses hypnosis to make even chronic smokers smoke-free after just one session," reports Richard. "I am pleased to make the 10 Tricks I provide to all of my clients available to the public via this free online course."

Since clients typically have the same worries and concerns and I spent a considerable amount of time educating them and assisting them to prioritise the goal of stopping smoking, it made sense to provide a course that people could use to do that for themselves. If they would like extra assistance, then I am also here to provide there in my personal one-on-one hypnotherapy sessions.

Richard is a certified master hypnotherapist and life coach with over 10 years of clinical experience. He is the number-one Doctor recommended hypnotherapist in the Cardiff area. Richard has helped hundreds of patients quit smoking using his revolutionary program.

Readers of the "10 Tricks" articles will learn about proven techniques that have helped many smokers through the difficulty of quitting cigarettes. The articles give guidance on prioritizing the goal, focusing on results, managing stress, and other keys to successful smoking cessation. "The hypnosis session, either in person, is the engine for quitting smoking," says Richard, "the 10 Tricks are the fuel that keeps the engine turning."

Richard’s success rates for stopping smoking have made him the premier stop smoking clinic in South Wales.

Letters and e-mails from recent satisfied clients include:-

“I stopped smoking in one hour. It worked!” - Ifan Ramage

How Can Hypnosis Help You To Lose Weight Now?

Hypnosis is the ability to focus powerfully on one thing to the exclusion of all else. In this receptive state you are able to literally tap in to much more of your latent abilities and, in doing so, change habits.

Being overweight typically creates a vicious cycle for people. They eat for “comfort” and to “reward themselves.” They then feel anxious, upset or depressed about the extra weight and are less motivated to exercise or change eating habits. Past a certain point, they feel out of control and unable to lose those extra pounds.

People often resort to trying to “dieting” i.e. cutting out eating or reducing eating, depriving themselves, losing a few pounds, then getting fed up and over-eating again – but in scoffing even more than before and feeling worse than they did before. Obviously, the key is to create sustainable habits of thinking, eating and exercising that allow you to consistently feel good and healthy.

Hypnosis and NLP are able to communicate directly with the habit-forming part of you, the part that is much bigger than who we think we are, commonly called the subconscious or unconscious mind. This is the part that regulates such things as impulse control, metabolism and fat-burning capability.

Studies have shown that mental preparation, combined with appropriate eating and exercise habits can assist a person in overcoming old patterns of yo-yo dieting. Furthermore, hypnosis can assist a person to become more motivated to lose weight and eat healthily. Newer NLP processes (which allow for a form of conversational hypnosis) can further strengthen the connection between the conscious decision to lose weight and the unconscious habit-forming part.

For example, I worked with a client recently to change habits of over-eating crisps, chocolate and pizza, whilst strengthening her desire to eat properly and adopt regular sensible exercise patterns. Trance also allows for greater control of autonomic processes and it is even possible to increase metabolic rate through suggestions.

Tips for losing weight:-

• Set a date to lose weight and write down exactly how you wish to be different. This gives your mind a direction to start heading in

• Write down your reasons for wanting to be a different weight. Why is this an overwhelming “MUST” in you life? Look for the benefits, how you will feel, look and what being this new body will do for you.

• Find some people who can assist you – either hypnotherapists, people who have been successful already in losing weight healthily and keeping it off or find books by people who have successfully achieved what you want to

- Visit www.HypnosisCardiff.co.uk for tips, advice and a free online course.
