Hello! I am Alan B. Densky. Welcome to Chapter one of my Stop Smoking the Easy Way video. The intent of this video is to entertain you as I educate you about how to stop smoking the easy way. At the end of each chapter of this video, I will give you a mental exercise that will help you to break the chain tobacco has on you. Look can I be brutally honest with you? I am going to waste your time telling you about how bad smoking is for you and that it can kill you, because you already know that.
But I am going to tell you that quitting is the easiest part, people quit smoking dozens of time every single day but staying quit without getting nervous suffering from withdrawal or shoving food into your mouth in place of the cigarettes, well that's where you are going to need some help. You are more likely to follow the directions that will help you to quit smoking and stay quit when you understand what causes the smoking habit.
But before we even get to that information please understand that there are three prerequisites required before you will quit smoking. The first prerequisite is that the smoker must want to quit smoking because smokers don't stop smoking until they want to quit smoking. The second prerequisite is that a smoker must make a decision to quit smoking now. Now decision means I am going to do this no matter how much it hurts and the third prerequisite is that the smoker must learn how to stay comfortable without smoking and that is what I am going to begin to teach you how to do.
There are three components to a smoking addiction. Two of the components are mental and one is physical. The first component is that people smoke for relaxation and pleasure. This component makes up about 45% of the smoking addiction. Now let me explain how this component was programmed into your mind. When an infant cries, its mother usually picks it up and puts a bottle in its mouth, but baby becomes distracted by that bottle forgets about being cranky, becomes relaxed and often falls asleep shortly there after. About 33 times every day and night the baby wakes up and cries.
So of course the father says it is feeding time you feed him, right. So the mother picks up the baby puts the bottle in the kid's mouth and it gets distracted again and relaxes and falls asleep. So that baby is computer, its unconscious mind is programmed, when something goes into the mouth the child receives relaxation and pleasure from it. Now as an adult when you feel stressed you would look pretty silly walking around with a baby bottle in your mouth. So you do the intelligent adult thing, you stick a poison cancer stick into your mouth instead.
Now here is the trick to eliminating stress related cravings and urges, in order to quit smoking without withdrawal or a weight gain, when you are smoking for relaxation and pleasure you need to substitute some other behaviors in place of the cigarettes that will provide the same exact relaxation and pleasure. The new behavior that you substitute in place of the cigarettes must be based on the following criteria. One, they must be as effective as smoking is in providing relaxation and pleasure. Two they must be as available as smoking is for providing relaxation and pleasure. In other words they have to be behaviors that can be done almost any where on the spur of the moment and three they must be more consciously acceptable to you than smoking is for providing relaxation and pleasure.
Are you wondering how you are going to go about accomplishing this trick? Self hypnosis, what else? But not the kind of hypnosis that you are probably thinking of. Not by using post hypnotic suggestions in the traditional sense because post hypnotic suggestions will definitely not work for most people. Do you hate to be told what to do? Most people hate to be told what to do because our generation has been taught to question everything.
If you hated when someone tells you what to do, hypnosis programs that use post hypnotic commands and suggestions are simply not going to work for you, not one little bit. Here is your first mental exercise. Now this is only one of hundreds of different techniques that you can learn to use to feel relaxation and pleasure on the spur of the moment to eliminate cravings for a cigarette. What I would like you to do is to remember the most beautiful sunset that you have ever seen. If you can't remember one or imagine one then just look at the sunset that I am putting on the screen for you.
If you are using your imagination, don't picture yourself or anyone else for that matter in the image. Just picture the sunset, put it in the colors of the sun and the sky and imagine feeling the comfortable temperature of the air against your skin. Finally allow yourself to recall the smells and any of the sounds of nature that you have heard. Please take a few moments and focus on that image. Now allow your attention to come back to me. If you did the exercise correctly then your thoughts maybe feel nice and relaxed. That is because of the source of our feelings is our thoughts.
So just as thinking about a sunset can you make you feel more relaxed the source of your feelings of happiness, joy, peace, sorrow, stress and upset, the source is your thoughts. The essence of hypnosis is relaxation. So by practicing self hypnosis we can dissipate much of the tension that causes our all craving. Hypnosis is the out state of consciousness. So when you imagine the sunset or even watched it on the screen and got into your imagination and created pleasant feelings you were actually in the state of self hypnosis.
Now in Chapter two of Stop Smoking the Easy Way we are going to discuss the second component of smoking, the addiction and then it is called a condition response and we will also be discussing the third component the physical addiction. If you would like to see Chapter Two of my video right now it is available on my web address that see of the bottom of the screen. When you get to my home page just look for the icon that is labeled Free Hypnosis Videos it is located on the upper right corner of the page.
John W. Hedley Junior: My name is John W. Hedley Junior and I am 65 years of age and believe it or not I have smoked 60 years and I averaged anywhere 2 to 3 cartons a week. This is the amazing thing about Neuro-Vision. I watched Neuro-Vision for 1 half hour then I had a little chit chat and I was offered a cigarette and believe it or not I turned it down. I did not want it and I hadn't wanted one since. This program Neuro-Vision in my opinion just couldn't be matched I do not care what program they would try, there is no withdrawal, you just feel so relaxed. There is no craving and nice part about it you don't gain any weight.
