Most smokers want to stop smoking for many reasons-health, social stigma, feeling like a slave to their smoking habit-so why don’t they just stop? The problem is the conscious mind wants to stop-that is the part of our mind that reads the research and health reports and hears the news about how bad smoking is for your health. That is also the part of the mind that knows that smoking is now banned in all public places and that fewer and fewer people see smoking as glamorous or cool but now see it as a bad habit. The conscious mind also knows that smoking is expensive, smells, and the list goes on and on…!

However, many find it difficult to quit smoking because the bigger part of the brain, the unconscious mind, DOESN’T KNOW ANY OF THE BAD ASPECTS OF SMOKING that the conscious mind is aware of! The unconscious mind thinks, “My cigarettes relax me,” “They give me a break,” “They are something to do with my hands or when I am bored,” “I have to have my cigarette with my coffee in the morning!” “There is nothing like a cigarette and a glass of wine!” “I have to smoke when I drive!”

“I tried so many things to stop before-gums, patches, that stupid e-cigarette that made me feel and look like a fool. When I think I avoided hypnosis because it seemed weird and now look back on how weird and ridiculous those other methods were in comparison to my easy, pleasant, fun session with Rita, I really have to laugh. But, at least I am laughing as a non-smoker without the smoker’s hack I used to have when I laughed.”

Hypnosis isn’t magic, but it is a powerful relaxing mind state that can be accessed by almost everyone (see FAQ). Once the mind is in the state of hypnosis, the unconscious mind(which is usually very resistant to change in our normal waking state), becomes more open to ideas of change. When the person being hypnotized consciously wants the change, then suggestions are given that the unconscious can accept and so that both the conscious and unconscious mind can be aligned to make the powerful decision to become a non-smoker.

Alexander Hertzberg has provided hypnosis therapy in Los Angeles for 15 years. Hundreds of clients from around Southern California have benefited from his hypnotherapy sessions. Read Alexander’s story.

I had just finished law school and was ready to take the Bar Exam. I studied and studied, but still didn’t feel confident enough to take the test. I called Mr. Hertzberg and asked him if he could work with me so that I could take the test. He told me that he had worked with others who also were going to take the bar exam, and that they both passed the test the first time after few hypnosis sessions with him. After 3 sessions with Mr. Hertzberg I passed the bar exam on the first try. I would recommend him highly for helping others with test taking fears.

Thanks, Alex, you’re the best and most talented and awesome hypnotist, I’m so thankful for everything you did for me!

Alex is the best! I attended the workshop 4 years ago to stop smoking and have not desired or smoked since. I smoked one and a half packs a day for 42 years.

After one session with Alexander I am still feeling the effect. I left the session very happy, my legs felt much lighter. I have been motivated since, I see what I need to transform. Now I need a scholarship for more

I’m honored to recommend Alex Hertzberg, for his superb skills in hypnosis and for helping me to recover much faster and with less pain and discomfort from my recent surgery to repair a broken wrist. Alex’s talent in hypnosis allowed me to be relaxed and be calm during pre-surgery and throughout the medical procedure. His well-crafted post-hypnotic suggestions for a stronger, quicker, and easier recovery were key to a faster “bounce back” post-surgery as well. His suggestions for a smooth and wonderful rehabilitation of the movement in my wrist also allowed for a speedier and better rehabilitation. The hypnosis allowed for better pain management, less need for any pain medication, and a quicker, smoother, easier recovery. Alex is smart and attuned to the needs of the individual he is working with for hypnosis and his many helpful hypnotic suggestions during just a few sessions were most beneficial to having more relaxation and a better healing process! With Alex’s approach, I was tremendously helped to deal successfully and very positively with a medical procedure.

Alexander is a remarkable hypnotist and healer. I had the great fortune of being his client, and emphatically recommend him without reservation. He is creative, compassionate, non-judgmental, forward thinking person. I loved working with Alexander and always left our sessions feeling great. I learned volumes about self-acceptance, life skills and relationships. Those who choose to work with him in the future will likely be very grateful that they did.

I didn’t know that hypnosis could be so helpful with relieving my pain. After two major back surgeries I thought I would always be in pain. My physical therapist referred me to Alexander and I was surprised to find out how much it helped with relieving my pain! It definitely helped me to maintain a better quality of life after my injury.

My sessions of past life regression with Alexander have given me some of the most valuable experiences of my life. As I reconnected with my true self and the soul energies of the significant people in my life, I experienced the most expansive feelings of love and understanding that opened me to a new perception of myself and my life. I have known the concept of ‘higher’ or ‘authentic’ self for years but have never experienced this for myself. I can’t now fit myself back into the same ‘box’ I was in before, and because I now know what my source energy feels like, I return there often for guidance and renewal.

Dear Alexander, I am so glad that I came and experienced the hypnosis. It has given me a lot of motivation. Thank you for the time that you spent with me and all of the suggestions you gave me! Thanks again.

I was a 35-year smoker and had tried to quit in the past unsuccessfully. Hypnosis made it remarkably easy to be smoke free without deprivation, discomfort, withdrawal symptoms or weight gain. It was amazing to quit in one session. I highly recommend Mr. Hertzberg to others.

"After 20+ years of smoking cigarettes and countless attempts at quitting, after my first session with MFH, I realized that smoking was just a choice and I choose to stop poisoning myself. I feel like I have turned off the switch that said I had to smoke and I am confident that I will leave it switched off and not smoke again."

Despite its less-than-serious depiction in cartoons and movies, hypnosis can be an effective tool for therapy. Read on to learn more about the way hypnosis affects our conscious minds.

1. People aren’t unconscious under hypnosis. In fact, they are in a state of focused hyper-awareness. Subjects’ suggestibility does not emerge from any lack of understanding, but rather from the suppression of inhibitions. That might result in a stage performer making a person feel comfortable enough to cluck like a duck that thinks it’s a chicken, but for a therapist it might mean circumventing the conscious mind’s tendency to make excuses for an addiction.

4worldlovers: There’s something or some feeling going on in your life that you’re not happy about.

You really want to deal with it once and for all.

Your conscious mind may want to change, but since your subconscious mind is programmed differently, it’s really difficult to change.

According to research, your subconscious mind is 88% of your mind power, while your conscious mind is only 12%.

It's kind of like the computer program that's running all of your automatic thoughts and behaviors.

Hypnotherapy and hypnosis will change your subconscious programming and get you the results you want.

I was skeptical also - until hypnotherapy helped me personally, which was a big reason I became a hypnotherapist.
