I am a board certified internal medicine specialist and a certified hypnotherapist. The mind and body are very closely connected and I have found hypnosis to be an excellent tool to help connect the mind and body in health.

I have seen many suffer and die as a result of nicotine abuse. We all know smoking causes cancer, lung disease and heart attacks. Smoking is clearly bad for your health. Smokers know this and continue to smoke, because smoking is a habit deeply rooted in the conscious and subconscious mind.

Smoking is a powerful addiction that becomes part of the smoker's identity. Therefore, knowing the harm of smoking on ones health may not be enough to break the habit.

It has been my experience that with hypnosis the conscious mind as well as the subconscious mind can be educated and the smoking identity can be modified, eliminating the smoking habit for good. I want you to experience this successful physician designed program based on caring, education, behavior modification and hypnosis / relaxation to help you quit smoking.

Stopsmoking.md is a physician designed program based on caring, education, behavior modification and hypnosis / relaxation.

Caring

Most smokers know that cigarettes are full of dangerous chemicals including nicotine.

Most smokers care for their friends and loved
ones. No one would want their friends, family or
children to inhale poison.

Most smokers would never want their loved
ones to start smoking!

You care for others. You give to others and help others. You are a good person, but when you inhale a cigarette you send a message to your subconscious mind that you don't care for yourself. This program helps you learn to care enough about yourself to realize your body and mind deserve to be healthy. Once your conscious and subconscious mind learn this you will never want another cigarette.

Smoking will seem so silly that you will wonder why you ever smoked.

This program allows you to be healthy!

Education

Hypnosis

Hypnosis is probably not what you think. Hollywood and stage hypnotists make it out to be
something mysterious and controlling. It is neither. The fact is, your mind is a very powerful tool and
hypnosis helps you use your conscious mind and subconscious mind to its full potential.

There are many misconceptions about hypnosis. Hypnosis is simply a safe state of relaxation. While in that relaxed state the subconscious mind is open to healthy suggestions.

I tell my patients that all of us have been hypnotized before. For example, a light trance occurs when we drive long distances. Sometimes, we turn driving over to our subconscious mind while our conscious mind daydreams. Often, we may not remember the last few turns that we made until we end up at our destination. Has this ever happened to you? If so, you were in a light state of hypnosis.

When in a state of hypnosis you are relaxed and calm. You can hear things around you and awaken at any time. While in this relaxed state your subconscious mind is open to suggestion. Even if you were to fall asleep while listening to any of the hypnosis tapes, your subconscious mind still hears the positive suggestions.

Some more facts about hypnosis:

Hypnotists can not make you do something you don't want to do (otherwise hypnotists would have

people robbing banks and bringing money back to them and this is not happening!!).

During hypnosis you can remember everything that is said and done.
Hypnosis is simply a state of relaxation not unlike day dreaming. It has been shown that during this

state the subconscious mind is open to suggestion.

No one ever stays in a stage of hypnosis. After being hypnotized even if the hypnotist would leave or

die the subject would awaken after not hearing the hypnotists voice.

Hypnosis is a tool to use your subconscious mind to its fullest potential. It's safe and it works.

Behavior Modification

Right now you may be a smoker.

You may smoke after meals, on work breaks, when you are nervous or maybe while driving. Some of you may do
this so automatically that the cigarette is half gone before you realize you have lit up!

In most stop smoking programs, when you stop smoking you will feel as if something is missing. You will feel different. You will be healthier and feel better about yourself, but something is missing.

This program helps you stop smoking but also helps you substitute healthier behaviors in place of smoking. The tapes will help your subconscious mind find healthier habits for you that take the place of the old unhealthy habit. You will not even miss your cigarettes!!
