Strange hygiene ritual or nervous habit? Nail biting is the later for most people one that can lead to some health problems as well as vanity issues. That is why people frustrated with their tendency to nibble their nails have turned to hypnosis for help.
Nail or cuticle biting is actually a way people use to cope with a stressful situation. Nervous energy gets built up and chewing begins. Hypnosis is the key to re-focusing energy in a more productive way that will not wreak havoc on your manicure or lead to bleeding and infection as can be the case with the seriously stressed nail biter.
Hypnosis is a process. Over the course of a few weeks the body is trained to relax. Then new ways of handling stress in a calm and more productive way can be introduced. Even after hypnotic training is completed, the new habits remain in place of the old.
It is best to practice self-hypnosis at night, just before going to sleep. This is a time when the body and mind are able to relax the easiest. It takes a relaxed mind to change old habits and suggest new ways to manage stress. The setting for hypnosis should be a quiet, calm room. Using earphones can help block out other external factors as well.
