90% of Our Mind is Beyond Our Conscious Control

"If only I could find a way to......"  We know what we want but somehow cannot quite achieve it.  Why is this?  

Only 10% of our brain is conscious thought ie the bits we control.  The other 90% is unconscious or subconscious and hidden deep in our mind.  It is said that every person we have ever seen, every doorway we have walked through, every comment we have ever heard etc - are all stored deep within us.  You know the feeling when you cannot remember a name or a word and say, "Oh, it's on the tip of my tongue" then hours later you remember?  That is dragging the information out of our subconscious mind.  We never really forget anything.  Everything we learned at school, every word of a foreign language - it is all there somewhere.


So what?

A lot of this information is positive but much of it is negative.  Throwaway comments made about us as a child.  Other people's beliefs we heard.  All of this impacts who we become, the values and beliefs we hold and the habits and behaviours we develop.  We know we want to lose weight yet yo-yo diet for decades until we find out that it all goes back to a comment made when we were 12 which was forgotten consciously...but stored unconsciously.  

It is like a battle between the two parts of the mind only as the subconscious mind is so much larger and outside our conscious control, we do not even know what we are battling against.

The good news is that hypnosis can help reach that subconscious mind and rewrite the programming.  Under deep physical and mental relaxation, hypnosis bypasses the critical factor between the conscious and the subconscious allowing positive hypnotic suggestions to replace the negative ones.  

All permanent change must take place at this subconscious level.  Saying affirmations over and over, day after day, may eventually get through but hypnosis can make the change quickly, often in just a single session.

Hypnosis works with your own powerful subconscious mind to stop smoking in one session; shed unwanted weight and finally control your eating habits; overcome fears, phobias and habits; give you greater self-confidence; improve how you cope with stress, worry, anxiety and change and improves many stress-related health issues.  Hypnosis is suitable for everyone over the age of seven and children really enjoy hypnosis.

When would now be a good time to change?

No Smoking Day 50

I have just received an email from a 62 year old man who came to see me to stop smoking in one session:

“I thought I would let you know I am now on day 50, smoke free!  I am amazed how easy it was/is to give up after over 40 years.  Even in the presence of smokers (who sometimes maliciously offer me a cigarette) it doesn’t bother me, but makes me even more determined.”

My STOP SMOKING IN ONE SESSION technique works time and time again because I include several elements which I consider necessary for immediate results and long-term success.

I want to ensure that new non-smokers are not troubled by other people's smoke, are not tempted by their "still smoking friends", do not replace the smoking habit with over-eating and have lost the addiction to nicotine completely.

Trying to give up smoking by using nicotine replacement patches, gum or tablets still keeps you addicted to nicotine.  In fact nicotine chewing gum has now been linked to mouth & throat cancer.

"Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. Willpower, it turns out, counts for very little". (New Scientist, Volume 136 issue 1845 31 Oct 1992, page 6)

There are so many reasons why stopping smoking is the right decision to take whether for your health, your appearance, setting the right example to your children, giving you a substantial pay rise - the list goes on.  Maybe you are feeling the effects of damaging your lungs when doing exercise, your skin is ageing a bit too fast, you notice your white ceilings aren't quite so white any more or see people flinch to move away from you because you reek of stale smoke.   Sorry to be blunt but smokers have no idea how bad they smell to non-smokers and we don't want the stench on our clothes and hair if we visit you.

For whatever reason you first started to smoke, there are plenty of better reasons to stop.

If you really want to stop and are now ready, call me because I give results.  I'm not the cheapest but I'm also not the most expensive.  I do guarantee you this - the relatively small investment of my fee compared to years of smoking costs will be the best investment in yourself you can possibly buy.

I am based near Portsmouth in Hampshire on the south coast of England.  I can also arrange to see clients for stop smoking in London or Brussels.  My international clients find me convenient to reach with Southampton Airport just 13 miles away or a train ride from London Gatwick Airport.  Visit my site http://www.antoniaharrison.com/Hypnotherapy.html
