Quit Quitting: Hypnosis for Smoking Cessation
Smoking is a habitual behavior, fed by unconscious reasons and motivations. Hypnosis effects permanent change by uncovering and dealing with these motivations, allowing for more resourceful choices than smoking. It is by changing the mind that we change the behavior. Adverse side-effects of other stop-smoking programs, such as weight gain, nervousness, or withdrawal symptoms, rarely occur in a hypnotic intervention. Smokers find the transition to nonsmoker more comfortable and natural with hypnosis.

This class is focused on how the programming we learned in childhood affects us today. If you would like to change something in your life, but find that no matter how much you read or what you understand about your past, you continue to make the same mistakes, attract the same type of people, struggle with creating abundance or other desires; the answer may lie with your inner-child.

In this class Linda will lead a guided journey designed to help you discover your inner-child and begin the process of bringing the gifts this child has into your present day life.
