The Power Of Self Hypnosis For Weight Loss

By Jaclyn Hurley


Ordinarily, people consult hypnotherapists that are skilled in the art of creating trance states in clients for purposes of behavioural change. Inducing such mental states for therapeutic goals involves helping clients achieve a meditative mood of utter tranquillity, so that subconscious reprogramming - stimulated by specific suggestions from the hypnotherapist - can happen easily, and effectively. Self hypnosis for weight loss, or other behavioural change goals, uses the same principles, but without the aid of another person.

Clients generally consult a hypnotherapist to help with changing a negative behaviour or attitude - like smoking, gambling, or chronic anxiety - and to learn a new one. Under hypnotic induction, such efforts toward behavioural change amounts to reprogramming the deeper subconscious mind. Inducing, and working with, the latter mental state is key, since this is where the root of the problem, as well as the solution, resides.

Hypnotic self induction is only possible after having learned the proper procedure from a qualified professional, and having spent enough time rehearsing it. Individuals with no experience in generating hypnotic trances, but wish to employ this method for shedding excess fat, are thus better off consulting the appropriate professional first. This is the best way to ensure that the desired outcomes are achieved, and that the correct procedures are adhered to.

In an hypnotic state, the mind becomes more susceptible to new suggestions and ideas. It is then easier to reprogram the deeper, subconscious mind, and to rid it of negative, self-defeating, limiting beliefs and thoughts. In such a mental mode, one has the opportunity to imaginatively rehearse and visualize oneself as already having achieved the future, wished-for, eventual results.

For purposes of getting rid of excess pounds, the first step would be to think in advance about the behaviours and beliefs that contribute to the problem. These would be the ones one wishes to change, while hypnotized. So, giving some thought to specific, concrete actions that are relevant to the problem before proceeding with the process is a necessary first step.

Here are examples of beliefs that might contribute to weight gain, and that could form the target for bringing about change while in an hypnotic state. 'Eating is good for stress release, ' or 'I will never have a slim body, so I might as well keep eating.' Actions one might wish to adopt and visualize to help solve the problem might include regular moderate exercise, consuming healthier foods, eating slowly, or learning to meditate to help with stress and anxiety.

Sceptical folks with no, or little, knowledge about hypnotic states tend to think it involves merely generating fantasies with the desired goal in mind. On the contrary, the process works because it engages the imagination in a specific, focused, powerful manner. It is especially useful when all other avenues to rid the body of excess fat failed to prove successful.

Chances are that one session of a self-generated hypnotic trance state is not going to be enough to achieve the wanted outcomes. Many people that have unsuccessfully tried to lose weight this operate on the belief that a single session is all that's needed to produce the miracle results. It may not work for everybody, but the success rate of going about the issue this way is high enough to make it a fruitful avenue to explore.
