You may not be familiar with subliminal messaging, but it is a simple concept. It basically works as a mild form of hypnosis, and just like hypnosis it aims to overwrite negative habits and either neutralize them or replace them with positive ones. However the difference with subliminal messaging is that you will not enter a deep trance. The changes take place more gradually but your subconscious mind will decode the messages even though you will not consciously hear anything.

So, just as hypnosis can help you to overcome your addiction to smoking, so can subliminal messaging. It works just as hypnosis, or nicotine chewing gum, or patches do:

* It acts as an aid to support your goal of quitting smoking so that you will be much more likely to quit.
* It helps to lessen your cravings, so that you will not physically crave a cigarette.
* It will boost your willpower, so that you will not give in to temptation and will be able to quit forever.
* Target the source of all of your positive associations to smoking within your mind, and eliminate them.
* Focus you on the positives and the benefits of quitting smoking so that you will be more driven and motivated to quit than ever before.

However, just like hypnosis, it will not work if you don't really want it to work. For example if you buy a CD for your partner and he / she listens to it half-heartedly then there is a very low chance of success. If on the other hand you do really want to quit, subliminal messages will align your body, conscious and unconscious mind to make you totally focused and much more likely to stop smoking forever.
