Stop Smoking Therapies – Is NLP Effective?
It is never easy to stop smoking and every smoker realizes this. You need a massive amount of will power and support from others before you can quit from smoking successfully. There are actually various ways that can be used in order to quit smoking. One of them is by using the NLP approach. This is a technique where you will teach your mind to think in a specific way so that the subconscious mind is able to provide you with the necessary strengths to quit smoking. This technique also involves the use of certain body parts especially your fingers and different areas of your face and head.
This technique is not the same like the hypnosis treatment but it helps if you sit in a quiet place before starting the therapy. Get yourself relaxed and you can achieve this by lying down or sitting on a comfortable couch. Then, press the forefinger and the thumb together with a slight pressure but don’t overdo it because you can create tension instead of relaxation. Now, close your eyes and imagine that you are desperately craving for a puff of cigarettes. At the peak of your desperation, change your anchor. You will experience a sudden peace of mind and relaxation. Change your anchor alternately and you will be able to control the cravings effectively.
NLP therapy is not for everybody, though. If you are not strong enough emotionally and spiritually it is pretty hard to stop smoking this way. You should try nicotine replacement therapies – they help you get out from cigarette cravings with the help of science.
