Step-by-step
In order to quit smoking permanently you must change the
unconscious patterns that control your smoking behavior. You
need a step-by-step system that gives you
the power to change, the
power to overcome the subconscious programming that has kept you
chained to the cigarette habit.
Hemispheric Specialization
University studies in split-brain research have shown that an
audio message heard with the left ear enters the right side of the
brain and messages heard with the right ear enter the left side of the
brain. Dichotic listening is a process in which two
different audio messages are presented, one for each ear. Using
headphones these two messages are played simultaneously.
Not hypnosis, not subliminal
Since the conscious mind cannot focus on two different messages at
the same time, it has to suspend its ability to filter incoming
information. The messages are then able to
bypass conscious
resistance and enter directly into the unconscious.
This process
is not hypnosis and not subliminal.
Positive Messages
The messages that are used are in the form of positive affirmations
taken from the book Quitting In Time.
Some examples are:
"Quitting smoking is easier than I thought", "I am stronger every time
I say no to cigarettes", "it's never too late to quit smoking".
The conscious mind tends to be critical of these messages and inhibits
them from being accepted and acted upon by the subconscious.
With dichotic listening this conscious resistance is bypassed and
the
resources of the subconscious are available for change.
That's what behavior modification is all about.
Touchdown!
Imagine a football team with only one defender
that is playing a team with two receivers. The defender cannot cover
two receivers at the same time. He is confused. He doesn't know
what to do. The receiver scores. Touchdown!
Technically Speaking
In technical terms this technique is described as "overloading
cognitive processes to depotentiate conscious mind-sets and facilitate
new learning." In other words, the message goes into the
unconscious mind instead of going
"in-one-ear-and-out-the-other."
This is precisely why other "self-improvement" products are not
effective, they go "in-one-ear-and-out-the-other" and are soon
forgotten. The
Quitting In Time audio program is unique because
it is the only smoking cessation program that uses dichotic
listening.
Part II Creating Mental Maps
Creating mental maps for the
subconscious mind
Part II of Quitting In Time
is the road map that takes you from where you are to where you want to
be.
Unlike other books
that focus on the problem
Quitting In Time
shows you the solution. You do not have to wade through two
hundred pages of charts and statistics to tell you what you already
know: smoking is hurtful and dangerous, that you are sick and
tired of it and you want to quit now.
Four Techniques
Quitting In Time
has only thirty-eight pages of text along with a section for recording
your daily progress. It explains the four essential techniques
for changing unconscious patterns: symbols, affirmations,
visualization and repetition. By using these four "tools" you
gain access to the powerful resources of the subconscious mind.
(see L.A. Weekly review)
Whole Brain
The use of symbols and visualization engages
the right brain abilities, while affirmations and repetition
utilize left brain abilities. Using these four fundamental
modalities together creates a whole brain experience that includes
both conscious and unconscious processes.
