"My name is Andy Silver and I work as a performance coach using hypnosis and NLP. NLP stands for neural linguistic program. And I've been coaching clients using hypnosis and NLP for twenty years. My web site is ResolutionExperts.com. In this segment hypnotizing someone to stop smoking. A client will have the experience of saying goodbye to the past in which they were smoking and starting a new future in which they are free of all tobacco products. What I do is work with clients and help them realize that they're closing a chapter or finishing a book. The book is about their life as a smoker and the new chapter, new book that they're writing is becoming about being tobacco free. So I've already checked and their motivation is high. And whatever people they've used to smoke with, they now have other friends in their life that are smoke free. They've already recognized the benefits of becoming smoke free. Fewer dry cleaning bills. Non-smoking family members that are going to be thrilled. Better health care outlook for the future. So they're really motivated and ready to do this. And what I do is offer them a guided meditation in which in hypnosis and with trance, they go back and revisit very quickly every cigarette they ever smoked starting from cigarette number one. And that usually takes a couple of minutes if they've been smoking for decades. And they're basically saying goodbye to their life as a smoker. And starting to embrace the possibility of becoming smoke free, tobacco free. Once we've closed that chapter, when they've said goodbye to the past we start to identify the things in their life that they really would like. To do with this free time and extra money. This new outlook on life. We create a sense of that for them in all; represented in all five sensory modes. So they see the new life. They hear the sounds associated with this new life. They feel the feelings associated, any smells, any tastes. And they've got that locked in on all five sensory levels. And I create an anchor for them, so that when they; as they conclude the session and they have the anchor usually a position on the back of their, of their hand with this dominate finger forefinger. And they press that and it fires within their brain on all five sensory levels. This new future they want to embrace, they're ready to claim."
