Understanding that 90% of your body's natural habits are dictated by thoughts in the subconscious mind can make it easier to understand.
The other 10% are things that we consciously do, but when you think about your conscious moves, many of those may be dictated by a thought that is generated from the subconscious mind.
In your subconscious mind lies the thoughts and self-talk that has been building since you were born.
What things you verbalize and do consciously are filed into neat little drawers in the subconscious to help dictate your actions.
When you use hypnosis to quit smoking, you are opening the drawers in the subconscious that contain the reasons you smoke, in an attempt to clean them out and throw the contents away.
You might remember some of the reasons you took the first puff off a cigarette.
Some may say it was peer pressure during their high school years to fit in with certain friends, others might say they only smoke when they are stressed or drinking alcohol.
For most people, smoking has become a physical dependence, but it started with a mental reason they might not be aware of, such as insecurities and lack of self-confidence, or a desire to be accepted.
When you use hypnosis to quit smoking, it is important that these reasons are eliminated from the subconscious and the triggers that cause you to reach for a cigarette are a part of the subconscious actions.
Have you ever lit a cigarette to find you already have one lit in the ashtray, yet you don't remember doing it? That is because it was a subconscious reaction to whatever trigger is making you want a cigarette.
For some people, the phone ringing will trigger the urge to smoke.
For others, a cup of coffee, reading a book or stressful situations includes smoking a cigarette.
For hypnosis to quit smoking to work, you have to be willing to examine the triggers and reasons you smoke, whether it is to relieve stress, be accepted by peers that smoke, or if it is out of boredom.
There were reasons filed into the drawers of the subconscious that hypnosis can reach into and eliminate, for many people.
Some people that use hypnosis to quit smoking don't succeed, while others are able to quit smoking quite easily.
The theory is that some people open the drawers to the subconscious much easier than others.
The other thing is that the reasons may no longer exist that were the initial reasons.
For example, those that reach for a cigarette in nervous situations might find they have more self-confidence than they used to so a cigarette is no longer part of the mental crutch.
Others might find that the peer pressure is long gone, or the feelings of needing to fit in, now that they have their own family and they are adults or parents.
Sometimes, putting new subconscious thoughts into the mind is necessary and the reason NOT to smoke can become part of the self hypnosis to quit smoking.
Control of the subconscious mind is the key to successful hypnosis, and eliminating that programming that is no longer useful or beneficial is the key to the success of hypnosis.
