Hypnosis Smoking | Hypnotherapy Quit Smoking

Rick Beneteau is a respected Internet entrepreneur and Rick Saruna is a certified hypnotherapist and master in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). Their program is unique in that it combines some cutting edge techniques with a longer program duration and excellent customer support.

Package Contents

• Audio recordings, split into 30-minute daily audios
• A companion e-book
• A custom smoking song
• Several e-book bonuses (rotating)

Product Review

Designed to motivate, engage, and rid your body and life of toxicity in any form, this program is the most comprehensive smoking cessation program we review on this blog. While it doesn’t teach you hypnosis like some of the other programs, it presents a comprehensive stop-smoking plan that is implemented over the course of three weeks.

The program consists of a combination of hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), aversion therapy, and detoxification. The program claims a 90 percent success rate that, while high, is not unbelievable as some other programs that claim 97 and 99 percent effectiveness.

Part of the program’s effectiveness comes from the combination of clinical techniques that change the smokers belief system about the nature of their addiction and the fact that they can quit. This is one of the reasons for the low relapse rate.

An additional uncommon element in this program is the focus on mentoring. Support is available via e-mail, the web site, and telephone, and the staff is responsive to customer queries.

Conclusion

This is a realistic, comprehensive program. It doesn’t expect to cure your addiction in one setting. Rather, it seeks to modify your habits and the driving forces behind those habits, that is, it attacks the root of the problem, not the symptoms of it. The program is expensive, but its high success rate, innovative and proferssional techniques, and focus on cusotmer support make it a very appealing option.

Fresh Start is billed as a gentle, safe form of hypnosis to aid with smoking cessation. This is the smallest “program” that is reviewed on this blog, but it is focused on only one goal: stop smoking through hypnotherapy.

Package Contents

• One-hour stop smoking audio session
• Stop smoking booklet to accompany the audio session
• 30-second breathing exercise

Product Review

The main selling point of this program is that it’s supposed to be a direct, no-fluff way to use hypnosis to stop smoking. Whereas programs like The Power of Conversational Hypnosis and Raw Hypnosis focus on teaching conversational hypnosis first and foremost, Fresh Start doesn’t focus on teaching anything. Instead it focuses on guiding you through a one-hour hypnosis induction intended to help you stop smoking in one session.

After participating in the one-hour session, you can reinforce what you’ve heard with the booklet, and for the next three days, perform the included 30-second breathing exercise to assist with any lingering cravings.

Fresh Start claims a 94 percent success rate with motivated participants.

Conclusion

This is a bare-bones hypnosis program. If you’re looking to learn how to hypnotize yourself for personal development or relaxation, you won’t find the information here. However, if your goal is to stop smoking with hypnosis only, then this could be a viable alternative.

The core of this hypnosis smoking program is a 38-minute audio, but it is also supplemented with several other complementary resources. The program’s claimed success rate is very high with a low rate of relapse over the tracking period.

Package Contents

• Hypnosis smoking audio (38 minutes)
• Quit Smoking Now e-book
• Stop smoking therapy session transcript
• Relieve stress audio hypnosis
• Weight loss and health tips report
• 97 Ways to Stay Fit report

Product Review

The core of this program is a 38-minute audio hypnosis session. The induction is standard, but the approach and statements are not, which could explain the greater than average effectiveness of this program.

It’s important to understand that unlike some other programs reviewed on this blog, Quit Smoking Today does not teach you how to perform hypnosis. Rather, it focuses solely on hypnotizing you to help you kick your smoking habit.

The course claims a 1-month success rate of 99.7% (that works out to roughly 4,985 out of 5,000), and a 6-month success rate of 97.2% (4,860 out of 5,000). These numbers seem peculiarly high, but I wasn’t able to find any evidence to the contrary. What is interesting is that the author states that if you have not quit smoking within 60 days, you get your money back.

Conclusion

This is a solid hypnosis smoking product with a remarkably high success rate. If you’re looking to quit smoking, but not learn how to perform hypnosis or self-hypnosis, this could be a good candidate. The author thoughtfully included bonuses that address other aspects that ex-smokers might face in the early days of life without tobacco.

Ryan Evans’s hypnosis program is a relative newcomer to the market, and combines elements of conversational hypnosis with self-hypnosis for self-help.

Not that although this package contains a bonus smoking cessation audio, this program is not focused on stopping smoking — it is focused on teaching hypnosis.

Package Contents

• Twenty-two complete audio files on conversational and self hypnosis
• Twenty-two audio transcriptions

Bonuses:

• Six self-hypnosis CD’s, including Stop Smoking, Weight Loss, Stress Relief, Self-confidence, Concentration, Study Habits
• How to Captivate your Lover with Hypnosis e-book
• Complete Hypnotism e-book
• A Practical Guide to Self-Hypnosis e-book

Product Review

Like the Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Raw Hypnosis focuses on conversational hypnosis, or covert hypnosis. This refers to the type of hypnosis used in conversations to persuade people to your point of view or influence them in some way.

Unlike The Power of Conversation Hypnosis, Raw Hypnosis also includes sections on self-hypnosis, which, really, is a form of meditation. It involves putting your body into a relaxes state, making you more open to external suggestions like “your cigarette tastes like a stale ash tray.”

The core program explains self-hypnosis, and there are also bonuses on self-hypnosis, and specifically, audios on stop smoking inductions and weight loss inductions.

Product Details

Author: Ryan Evans

Package:22 audio files, 22 audio transcripts, six self-hypnosis CD’s including Stop Smoking and Lose Weight, a Captivate Your Lover bonus book, and two additional bonus e-books on hypnosis

Price:US $97

Return Policy: 60-day money back guarantee

Conclusion

Raw Hypnosis is still focused on conversation hypnosis, but it also includes sections of self-hypnosis, and deals with smoking cessation specifically in a bonus audio. This package is suitable for someone who wants to quite smoking with hypnosis, but also wants to understand how it works.

This is as simple a program as there could be, consisting of a downloadable MP3 file containing a stop smoking hypnosis induction.

Package Contents

• MP3 hypnosis smoking audio

Product Review

This is a standard hypnosis induction and standard stop-smoking suggestions. This is less a program and more a basic induction, recorded and presented in MP3 (downloadable) format. For highly suggestible participants, these inductions might be helpful, but the program isn’t comprehensive or powerful enough to justify the price tag.

Conclusion

This is little more than a standard induction, recorded and made available in downloadable format. There is little innovation in this audio, but it might prove successful for highly suggestible listeners.

Dr. Sally Wit’s program takes a multi-pronged attack to smoking cessation, using both hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to get its results. The program also takes a unique approach, in that the hypnosis sessions are on guided videos, rather than audios.

Package Contents

• Four stop smoking videos, including a hypnosis session and an NLP session
• Companion e-book to accompany the 21-day program
• Companion audio recordings to reinforce the videos
• 3 bonus relaxation videos

Product Review

Dr. Sally’s Stop Smoking in 21 Days or Less program is one of the least popular available; not because of product quality, but because of marketing. It is simply not as well known as some of the others. There are good and bad points to this.

The program itself is realistic, covering a period of 21 days. Over that time period, you will review the introductory video, read the companion book, and participate in guided relaxation hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) sessions.

On the downside, less mature products such as this are usually less polished than some of the other programs on the market, which will certainly affect its efficacy. Another concern is the lack of a guarantee, a common missing element among untested products.

Package: four videos, companion e-book, companion audio, 3 relaxation videos

Price: US $97

Conclusion

What could one day be a promising product due to its innovative format is hobbled somewhat due to the lack of a money back guarantee and lack of independent reviewers.
