Losing Weight With Hypnosis
Hypnosis for weight loss can be a wonderful alternative to the up and down, yo-yo dieting that so many people experience, and can help where other diets and exercises have failed.
There are two main types of hypnosis.
The first type is with a hypnotherapist.
You can schedule an appointment with them and pay a set rate for their services.
You and the hypnotherapist will typically begin by discussing your goals with both diet and exercise and the length of time that may be required for ongoing success.
The other type of hypnosis is self hypnosis.
This is where you take the time to learn how to self-hypnotize and use it whenever it's convenient for you.
Depending on your level of experience with meditation or other heightened mental states, this may be a viable as well as less expensive alternative.
If you choose hypnosis for weight loss with the help of a hypnotherapist, first make sure that you are fully comfortable with the person.
In general, the more relaxed and at ease you are, the better your results will be.
What you can expect is for the hypnotherapist to slowly calm your mind by telling you how to use deep breathing techniques such as breathing in deeply through your nose and out through your mouth.
As you begin to relax, the hypnotherapist will talk to you and suggest visual cues for you to think about in order to let the deeper parts of your mind become more aware, and to get away from any internal or external noise.
As your mind turns to a more focused state, it is more open to suggestion.
This is when the hypnotherapist will make suggestions to you about losing weight.
These suggestions are usually positive in nature and avoid negative language.
An example would be, "You enjoy eating healthy and taking care of yourself," instead of "You are going to stop overeating and being lazy.
" Self hypnosis can also be a beneficial way to hypnotize.
A person can choose to learn how to do it all by themselves, without any aid, or there are prerecorded CDs available for purchase online and at some bookstores.
If you are experienced at meditation, the likelihood of success is very good in a short period of time.
If you have never meditated you can still be successful, but it may take a little while longer.
As with learning any new technique, it takes time, practice, and patience.
