Stop Smoking Hypnosis

Tuesday, December 11th, 2012

Hypnosis is an incredible tool to stop smoking. Smoking is a dangerous, even deadly habit. It’s a leading cause of cancer. It also increases your risk for heart attacks, strokes, lung disease, and other health problems, including bone fractures and cataracts.   Millions of people in America still smoke even though the evidence is clear that smoking kills.

During hypnosis to stop smoking we use suggestions to create an aversion to smoking. By giving the suggestion that the cigarette will taste bad, the desire to smoke will decrease. We use suggestions to help overcome the habitual thoughts by replacing them with healthier thought processes.  We also use suggestions to reinforce all the health benefits of becoming a non-smoker such as:

  • Breath is fresher
  • Sense of smell is improved
  • Sense of taste improves.
  • Increased cardiovascular function
  • Lungs heal and risk of cancer begins to drop within months.

Along with the physical benefits of becoming a non-smoker there are also psychological benefits.

  • Improved self confidence
  • Improved self-esteem due to overcoming this addiction/habit.
  • Freedom to go where you wish
  • The ability to widen your social connections
  • Increased desire to improve health.

When you stop smoking your world will open up in many ways. Many of my clients who become non-smokers find that they begin to have a more active lifestyle.  Some might start an exercise program or be able to travel more easily without feeling restricted on airplanes, trains etc.  Many find that other health concerns improve or resolve completely.  Of course lung related issues will improve but there are many other syndromes and illnesses that also may improve:

Stopping smoking is the one thing that every smoker should do this year.  The improvements will be seen within weeks.  Now is the time to take action and overcome this disgusting habit.

If you’d like to become a non-smoker this New Year, call me for all the information you need to decide.

Making self fullfilling prophecies work for you!

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

How many times when something bad happened to you have you said  “I knew that that was going to happen” or “This always happens to me” or “Everything always goes wrong” or “I just knew it wasn’t going to work out the way I wanted it to?”

Interesting isn’t it? What do you think you were visualizing in your subconscious mind before things went sour? Not what were you wishing for – what were you visualizing? Were you visualizing a happy and productive result? Or were you visualizing something that you didn’t desire? Hoping for good things and visualizing good things are vastly different! What were you visualizing? Are you sure? Then why was the first thing out of your mouth – something to the effect that you knew in advance the things were going to go sour?

Many people visualize certain things in their conscious mind, but where and when it really counts they are visualizing what they don’t want. We were not born afraid of spiders, or snakes, or climbing trees, or public speaking, or riding in elevators or any other limiting behavior. No… we were all born with only two fears, falling backwards and loud noises. Everything else was learned.

Man is the only machine that is meta programmable. That means that he can reprogram his cognitive maps that are found in the subconscious mind! How does one program the subconscious in the first place? It is done in REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. During the relatively short period of REM sleep, the subconscious can process eight hours worth of material in five minutes! A dream or nightmare that you felt went on for hours probably lasted for from three to twenty seconds. Now if all the subconscious has to process is previously processed garbage – the cognitive maps only get negatively reinforced.

The only way that one can access the subconscious mind is through hypnosis as hypnosis is the bridge to the subconscious. Hypnosis is controlled daydreaming. One cannot make the behavioral changes that need to be made in the conscious mind. That’s why pictures of Bentley  automobiles and zillion dollar houses on your bathroom mirror don’t work. You are trying to effect behavioral change in the conscious mind and that can’t be done.

If you wish to begin visualizing what you want to happen in your subconscious mind,  call Bob Crow at 404.277.1827 for a complimentary consultation.

Our two minds

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

We have two minds. The thinking or conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The subconscious is by far the more powerful of the two. The thinking or conscious mind does math, verbal and linear skills. The subconscious mind is where we find the autonomic nervous system which handles functions like breathing, blood pressure, eye blinking, digestion, heart rhythm,  healing of the body and sleeping.

The subconscious mind is 85% more powerful than the thinking mind. It’s how we experience ourselves and the world. The subconscious is where we find our personality, our emotions, our habits, our moods, our memory, our intuition and what makes up our cognitive maps – hence, our behavior. We cannot change our behavior in our thinking or conscious mind, only in our subconscious. The subconscious mind is where we dream. It’s where our imagination and our creativity reside. IT’S WHERE PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED.

We are wherever we are today in life is because of yesterday’s  behavior. Our tomorrows can’t be any different from our today’s unless we change our behavior. This can only be done in the subconscious mind. Hypnotism is the bridge to the subconscious. Hypnotism reaches the subconscious mind through the frontal cortex. If one has ever day dreamed, they’ve been in hypnosis! That’s what hypnosis is – controlled daydreaming. When you’ve been so involved in a book or project that everything around you disappeared and you were totally “into the book or project?” That too is hypnosis.

When one is in hypnosis one does not surrender control of their mind to someone else, one is transferring control from their conscious mind to their subconscious mind. One has more clarity, more focus and is able to function on a higher level, the level of intuition!

Positive and wishful thinking v.s. meanigful behavioral change.

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

New cults and pyramid sales schemes promoting riches beyond compare are springing up like mushrooms after a summer rain.  Seminars advertise among other things that they have found “the secret” and they will share it with you for some of your money. Others want you to buy their CD sets or other materials promising and “guaranteeing” wealth, success and happiness by using these items and just thinking positive with little if any effort.

Telling others that they can make money by thinking positive is a huge and profitable business. Don’t get me wrong, I am not against positive thinking or positive thinking books or positive affirmations. People ask me what I think about reading this or that positive thinking book or pasting up positive affirmations all over their house – I always say “it won’t hurt.” And it won’t! But you are where you are today because of yesterday’s behavior. To change your tomorrows, you must make behavioral change. But the books, CDs and affirmations are attempting to make behavioral change in the conscious or thinking mind and one cannot make significant behavioral change in the conscious or thinking mind… ONLY IN THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. In life you will get no more and no less from what you visualize in the SUBCONSCIOUS mind. Hypnosis is the bridge to the subconscious mind.

Corrupt hard drive?

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

We were designed and engineered for success and excellence, but we have been programed for mediocrity. Did you know that if one is not thinking about it, everyone puts their left sock or shoe on first or their right sock on first, every single day? Why is this? When one was a baby, maybe as young as one or two days old, mother or grandmother without thinking about it would place a bootie on the same little foot first everyday.

We all have a most comfortable  sleeping position. Right side. Left side. Back or stomach. If we haven’t suffered an injury that makes us seek out a different position, we will invariably start out on the right side, left side etc. Why is this? Because our mother or grandmother propped us on one side or another, or laid you us on our tummy or back. Since we had no frame of reference before that time, that became the position that we sought out!

Have you ever seen a four year old little girl fold her arms just the way her mother does? Or seen a little boy walk or stand just like his father? NO ONE TAUGHT THEM TO DO THAT! These are yet more example of the nature of how habits and behaviors go straight into the subconscious. Why is our thinking limiting? We weren’t born with it.

Unfortunately we were programed with limiting thinking. Most often our software was corrupted without the offending parties, who happened to be our parents, our grand parents, aunts, uncles, siblings, cousins and school teachers realizing what they were doing. They inculcated us with their own fears… doubts… beliefs… self sabotaging actions and habits. This formed the cognitive maps in our subconscious mind.

The subconscious is the seat of emotions, habits, memories, imagination and intuition. Therefore, if one wants to make real behavioral change in one’s life – one must use hypnosis.  Hypnosis is the bridge to the subconscious mind, the only place where significant behavioral change can take place.

The challenge of change

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

October 12th, 2008

If you questioned people and asked them if they wanted their life to change for the better – they would generally answer yes. A better marriage, a better home, a better vacation – better income. Maybe the change that they covet would be to lose weight and keep it off. The change might be to stop smoking once and for all. Or the change might be from either drinking too much to drinking in moderation, or to abstain from drinking altogether. If you want your life to change for the better, you must change it for the better! Many want their change for the better to be to stop self-sabotaging themselves in relationships, in their career, in their job, in their performance or on the golf course. The list goes on and on.

Many have tried to make changes with the willpower and discipline of their conscious mind and have found that it just doesn’t work. Wishful thinking, going to seminars and work shops that promote affirmations, mantras, listening to positive CDs and reading positive books can not accomplish the significant behavioral changes needed to bring about a better life. One must modify how one thinks and acts and this cannot be done in the conscious mind. It must be done in the subconscious mind which by most estimates is a minimum of 85% more powerful than the conscious mind! The subconscious mind is the essence and core of how we experience ourselves and the world! It is the part of the mind that dreams and it is the pathway to the super conscious.

The subconscious is the seat of creativity. It is the seat of imagination. It is the seat of intuition. It houses memories, emotions and habits. And through the autonomic nervous system, it regulates non thinking functions such as eye blinking, healing a cut, breathing, blood pressure and heart rate. Our subconscious mind is what causes our behavior to be what it is. Our life will never become better until we become better performers!

Are you willing to make the modifications in how you think, act and do? If so… you might want to consider hypnosis. Hypnosis is the bridge to the subconscious mind. Hypnosis reaches the subconscious mind through the frontal cortex, thereby allowing one to obtain lasting therapeutic results. The Challenge of Change is deciding that one must first make changes in one’s behavior in order that desired results can be made manifest. It could well be the first page of the first chapter in an exciting new life. And through hypnosis, you will have much more control over your life than you ever did before!

Why am I like this?

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

We are born with just two fears – loud noises and falling. Everything else is learned. From the time we were infants, toddlers, small children and then all the way through childhood and puberty, we were inculcated with many unreasonable fears and/or limiting beliefs by our parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins, playmates and even some of our teachers. Unfortunately, this formed our cognitive maps and also imbedded us with scatomas. We are slaves to these improperly programmed cognitive maps, to limiting thinking, to blind spots and to bad habits.

Ever wonder why you keep sabotaging relationships, efforts to lose weight, stop smoking or drinking too much? Wonder why you can’t consistently be able to put together a scratch game of golf or tennis? Why is there a level that your income just doesn’t climb above? Why can’t you over-come sales call reluctance? Are you tired of living from crises to crises?

Bob Crow offers a solution. We’re designed for success, but programmed for failure! One’s cognitive map needs to be reset and reprogrammed! The scatomas need to be cleared out. The bad thing about scatomas is you don’t know you that have them! Scatomas will keep you from seeing the opportunities that the successful have utilized to become financially independent. Empty slogans and trite clichés from speakers at feel good seminars and sales rallies will not bring about substantive behavioral change. Trying the same solution to solve the same problems will always yield the same results. Bob facilitates his client’s altering the way they wish to think. These changes must happen on the subconscious level.
