Stop Smoking with Hypnosis Tip #4 Energy Boosts

In the early days of quitting smoking our blood sugar levels become low as the nicotine leaves the body.  This early drop in nicotine leads to a drop in our energy level.

Now is a good time to focus on the foods that can give you the boost your body needs.

Lemon is the Master Cleanser

People think lemon is acidic; however it is the most alkaline of all foods. Alkaline foods are the most gentle and kindest to our bodies.

I drink lemon juice first thing in the morning. I use filtered water with freshly squeezed lemon juice; however lots of my friends enjoy lemon juice in a mug with hot water. You may like to add a small amount of unprocessed honey.

What ever you do, try it!  It’s a great new habit to get into.

Green Smoothies

They are so delicious, quick and easy to make! My favorite is:

One banana broken and popped into a blender, two cups of filtered water, about half a mango, then two handfuls of washed English spinach. Blend until combined and smooth. then drink slowly. It will make approximately three glasses.

Combinng just two fruits is desirable. I love the combination of banana and pear. Green For Life by Victoria Boutenko of the Raw Family is a great resource.

Orange Juice

Orange juice is a wonderful pick-me-up!  It may help to eat a couple of oranges slices during the day or to have a couple of sips of pure orange juice in water which can also help you through this time.

Are there any foods you would recommend in the early days of quitting smoking? What works for you when you need a sustainable energy burst?

 


Stop Smoking with “Parts Therapy”

Perth People! Do You Want To Stop Smoking, Stop Smoking?

Then you may be asking “What is “Parts Therapy”?

Its an amazing therapy that works on resolving our our inner conflict.

Roy Hunter is a master of client centered parts therapy and an exert from his book “Hypnosis for Inner Conflict Resolutions” follows;

“Inner conflicts occur when we have two different parts of the subconscious pulling us in opposite directions. A smoker who is trying to quit, might have a strong emotional desire to quit in order to have more money to spend on recreational activities, but another part of the mind finds pleasure in lighting up after meals or at other times.

Every year countless numbers of smokers make New Year resolutions to Quit, only to find their resolutions literally going up in smoke. This is only one example of the many types of inner conflict experienced by clients.”

Stop Smoking With Hypnosis; Tip # Two

JUICES

Juices are an amazing help to heal the body and the mind! They cleanse the colon and help rid the body of toxins, through the process of elimination.
After having at least one or two shots of wheatgrass a day, I would then follow it with a large glass of my favorite juice combination, which is carrot, celery, beetroot and ginger. I would have at least one if not two glasses of juice a day.

Watermelon juice is another favorite of mine, always very refreshing and cleansing for the mouth.
I was always taught to eat melon alone, and not to mix it with other fruit. It is a wonderfully alkaline food.

You may like to search the internet for other juice combinations. There are so many delicious alternative ones to choose from. Once you have a juicer its so easy to to make your own juice or if you live in a city or a town, you can find your local juice bar.

Wheatgrass is a wonderful green drink. People often say”Oh but I am allergic to wheat and wheat products”. In fact its the green grass that is juiced not the wheat itself. However if unsure,then seek medical advice before trying. You can easily grow your own tray on a window sill or in the sun. Search the internet for helpful instructions.

“The Wheat grass Book” by Ann Wigmore is a special read, on how to grow and use wheatgrass to maximise your health and vitality.
As the grass is so strong, you will need a special juicer or mincer. The grass needs to be crushed for the juice to be collected.

I am lucky and enjoy the taste of wheatgrass and can drink it down straight. Some people hold their nose and throw it down their throat, others add it to their juice. I was always taught to to take a sip, let it be absorbed into my mouth by swirling it around, then swallowing the remainder.

Stop Smoking With Hypnosis; Tip # One

Water bottle and water

Considering stopping smoking?

Then here are some tips that I will share with you to help you begin the process. Over fourteen years ago my wonderful friends Katresha and Geo Moskios helped me to stop smoking.
I still remember how terrified I was at the thought of not smoking.

Katresha and Geo are two of the worlds best renowned yoga teachers and directors of Blue Pearl Laguna Health Spa. www.bluepearllaguna.com

I will always be very grateful to them for their amazing help and understanding.

So tip number one;

Water

Drink lots of good water. Water helps flush the nicotine and toxins from the body. In four to five days the nicotine can be eliminated from your body. The faster the toxins are flushed through the body the faster your body can heal.

  • Carry a bottle of water with you at all times and if you feel a craving coming on have a sip of water.
  • I was drinking at least two litres of water each day when I stopped smoking.

Chlorophyll is brilliant to add to your water. Its green and green foods help heal. It cleanses the blood, which in turn heals the cells. You can buy a bottle of chlorophyll from your local health food store.

I was asked to put liquid chlorophyll in my water bottle every day (and I occasionally still do). You will find the instructions on the bottle. It looks a strange colour, however it tastes clean and fresh and I knew it was helping the healing process.
