Hi, my name is Marlene Morse and Rita has asked for a few lines about her stop smoking program. I'm sorry I can't do this in just a few lines, so you will have to bear with me. To start with I wished I had met her 20years ago, it would have saved me a lot of money. There is nothing in this world that even touches how easy it was with Rita and her program. I wasn't sure I could do this, but Rita said to think positive and it worked. I have been a non-smoker since Sept 2006. I just wish people knew how simple and easy it is to do with Rita and her program. I had tried about 5 different programs prior to Rita's over the years. 1.Smokenders twice didn't work. End smoking. Over the counter stop smoking products, nothing worked. Rita's worked and it only took about an hour. This will change your life and also your pocket book with the prices of cigarettes now. She is the best and also the nicest.

I really didn't want to quit. I went because everyone was telling me I was going to die young, meanwhile I watched as the wrinkles around my mouth got deeper and deeper. One session with Rita and I knew I'd never smoke again. Imagine, 25 years of smoking and I walked out never to smoke again. Freedom! Thanks Rita!

(left on voicemail)Rita Black, my name is Matt Leggman and you hypnotized me in 2005 for smoking cessation. I just wanted to call and say that I am still smoke-free and I breathe so much better! I am doing really wonderfully. Going to you was the best thing that I have ever done. I tried so many things and none of them worked—but that one session with you really helped me. I have a wonderful life now. I just wanted to thank you. So thank you!

I’ve tried to quit smoking about 20 times, using all types of methods. It was always so anxiety ridden, it was all I could think about! I really wanted to stop and decided to give hypnosis a try. I had never been hypnotized before. Rita talked to me, learned about my smoking habit and customized the hypnosis session to my situation. Instead of reinforcing the idea that I was quitting smoking, she convinced me I was a non-smoker. Every time I was in a potential “smoking” situation, I thought about what my friends the non-smokers would do…. They would not crave a cigarette at all…and neither did I. I know it is scientific, but I call it a miracle! Also, I live with a smoker. I could cheat at any moment, but never wanted to.

Stop Smoking with Hypnosis

Why People Don’t Stop Smoking
Most people know that by stopping they will save several thousand dollars a year. Most people know they could add years to their life. And most people know that if they stop smoking right now, they could save their health-before it’s too late.

So, why do people continue to smoke? It all comes down to one thing…FEAR.

*Fear that you’ll have to give up your crutch or pleasure.

*Fear that you won’t be able to enjoy life or handle stress.

*Fear that you will put on weight.

*Fear that you’ll have to go through an awful trauma to get free

*Fear that you’ll never get completely free of the craving

All of these fears are just examples of one overriding fear. The one simple reason that you have not stopped smoking is that you:

Fear that it is going to be too painful and too difficult!

Hypnosis Makes it Easy

In fact, the unique “Stop Smoking In One Hour” hypnosis technique makes it so easy that after only 60 minutes you’ll leave a happy non-smoker - not feeling deprived, not feeling like you’ve made a sacrifice, and not feeling any pain. Instead, you’ll have a huge sense of relief and elation that you have at last achieved what all smokers long to achieve, you’ll have become a happy, permanent, non-smoker.

When smokers try to stop with other methods they suffer misery and depression caused by the feeling that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch. The beauty of hypnosis, and the way we use hypnosis in particular, is that it removes this feeling of deprivation. It removes the need, and the desire, to smoke. You won’t need useless aids, gimmicks, or substitutes. No nicotine gum or patches. No inhalers or nasal sprays. No needles or lasers. All that you have to do with hypnosis is sit back in a nice comfortable chair, and relax. It doesn’t get much easier than that!

Lifetime Guarantee

That means that if you ever start smoking again, whether it is two days or two years down the road, all that you have to do is give us a call and we get you back in at no extra charge. You may be wondering how we can offer these free back up sessions to our clients for a lifetime…

95% Stop in One Hour

The reason we can offer our unique lifetime guarantee, is because this method has such a high success rate. Literally more than 95% of all people stop smoking in one hour, and the remainder stops in a free half-hour back up session. Why is there such a high success rate with just a one-hour session?

This Method’s Unique Approach
Since the American Medical Association (AMA) approved the use of clinical hypnosis in the 1950’s, thousands of people have found hypnosis to be an effective way to stop smoking, lose weight, and otherwise improve their lives. Of course there are varying degrees of success with hypnosis because much depends on the skill, experience, and general competence of the individual hypnotherapist – as well as the techniques used by them.

The beauty of this unique approach is that it uses the best of traditional hypnotherapy techniques and combines them with the new science of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), which takes hypnosis to an even greater level of effectiveness.

One of the reasons why it’s not painful or difficult to stop smoking with this method that we use, in fact one of the reasons it’s so easy, is that it allows us to transfer the pleasure derived from smoking to a healthier habit of your choice (e.g. exercise, drinking more water, or relaxation). This is why, with us, there is NO unwanted weight gain or other problems associated with kicking the habit – the only side-effects are an increase in health, wealth, and freedom.

Nothing to Fear
Everything to Gain

Hypnosis is possibly as old as mankind. The old myths and misconceptions about hypnosis have given way to proven, scientifically sound applications. Today, the use of hypnosis is seen in a variety of fields, including: medicine, dentistry, professional sports, law enforcement, and education.

Most people have a misunderstanding of the positive results that can be achieved in a professionally controlled hypnosis session. We would like to dispel some of the myths and answer the most frequently asked questions about hypnosis.

*How does hypnosis work? Our minds work on two levels – the conscious and the unconscious. We make decisions, think and act with our conscious mind. The unconscious mind controls our habits. In the relaxed state, known as hypnosis, we can communicate directly with the unconscious mind. This is why it is so quick and easy to change habits of a lifetime with hypnosis.

*Will hypnosis work for me? Generally speaking, every normal person is “hypnotizable”. That is, people with an IQ of at least 70, and no severe mental disorders. Therefore, virtually anyone can achieve successful results using hypnosis.

*How will I know if I am hypnotized? Most people cannot tell the difference between the hypnotized and the waking states. Some people feel relaxed and lethargic others feel lightness. One thing that people do notice is an inexplicable change in their daily behaviors.

*Is hypnosis safe? Hypnosis is completely safe. You are aware and in control at every moment and can terminate the session at any time. Hypnosis is not sleep, nor can you get “stuck” in a state of hypnosis. You cannot be made to do something against your will! Hypnosis is a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable experience.

*How does hypnosis help me kick the smoking habit? Because smoking is a habit, it is controlled by the unconscious mind. Since hypnosis and NLP work directly with the unconscious, this is the only method that makes sense! We can help you effortlessly transition into the healthy lifestyle of a happy non-smoker – it only takes one hour to quit.
