Stop Smoking Hypnosis ScriptsAnyone who offers hypnosis as a means to stop smoking will probably be using stop smoking hypnosis scripts. A hypnosis script is a structured guide that a hypnotist might use to assist a client into entering a hypnotic trance. Hypnosis scripts are valuable and can help in many different cessation programs including those that might help in the cessation of insomnia, overeating and of course smoking. Scripts can be created on Cds, video tape and DVDs. Influence and Highly Suggestive Psychological States Research shows that all people are suggestible some of the time and that this suggestibility can be enhanced in a state of trance or altered states of consciousness. When Hypnotists apply their skills they keep the following guidelines at hand; · Some individuals are more easily influenced than others. · Some individuals respond to different styles of influence. Some respond to a more demanding, directed, and authoritative style while others respond to a more permissive style guided by requests and suggestions. · When a person who is highly suggestible is placed in an altered state of consciousness, or a trance-state, they become even more suggestible, even more susceptible to influence. · Skilled individuals can, through internal dialogue, bring themselves to a trance-like state and through internal dialogue inject suggestions into their own subconscious. The aim of this is to ultimately shift beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Are there limits to influence? Clearly, you cannot influence someone to do something beyond human capabilities. You cannot influence someone to flap one's arms, but you can influence biological function through thought. Who can know just how fast the fastest human being can run? What is the limitation of a basketball coach to move a team to a level of performance that would have seemed impossible? Can a person be influenced to such an extreme level that it might be called "brain-washing"? Can a person, as in the movie the Manchurian Candidate, be so influenced, unwillingly and without knowledge that they are permanently transformed into a person with completely different ethics, beliefs, and habits? With rare exceptions, the answer is probably no, but that doesn't mean that a person cannot be deeply influenced on a subconscious level. If your mind is racing and your thoughts are fragmented, holding onto an anchor such as the breath or a very pleasant visual image may get you focused. Some folks can tame the mind by repeating a simple word or phrase repeatedly, also known as a mantra. The most common ones are: - Focus, focus - OHMmmmm, OHmmmm - Calmmmmmmm, Calmmmmm |
