Hypnosis Inductions

Will hypnotic suggestion suppress your appetite?

Hypnosis, thanks to television and film, the very word conjures up the image of a beady-eyed Hypno-therapist swinging a watch and chanting, "You are sleepy."

Do an Internet search and you'll find hundreds of websites devoted to the topic, especially weight loss hypnosis. Unfortunately, many websites that sell hypnosis programs for weight loss make wild, unsubstantiated allegations. I've been in professional practice since 1978. So I think that I am more than equipped to set the record straight on weight loss hypnosis.

First and foremost, posthypnotic suggestions is a tool like a scalpel is a tool. Just as different surgeons have diversified skill levels in the use of a scalpel, diversified hypnotists have different professional levels in the use of hypnotherapy for weight loss. And to complicate matters, there are many remarkable forms and types of posthypnotic suggestions.

Here are some of the allegations about weight loss hypnosis that I've seen on websites, along with the truth:

"Hypnosis for weight loss will accelerate your metabolism." If you want to know the total truth is a fact that weight loss hypnosis can not directly speed up your metabolism. But it can be very persuasive to help program your subconscious with increased motivation to exercise and can increase your metabolic rate. Similarly, suggestibility accelerate metabolism for rapid weight loss can happen by programming the subconscious motivate ingestion of large amounts of protein because the intake will step up the metabolism.

Posthypnotic proposal will make you slim down. That is false. But weight loss hypnosis can be used to help eradicate your appetite so you eat less and eat less may help you get rid of the weight.

The average person's cravings, and urges release of two unconscious programs:

A. When you pair eating with any other conduct, the other behavior triggers craving for food and a strong urge to eat. This is called a conditioned response. For example, if you eat when watching a movie, you will automatically get an urge to eat every time you go to the movies.

B. When you feel tense, you feel a strong urge to put food into your mouth for relaxation. This is the result of training, you received as a baby. Once you've got cranky, your mother or father put a bottle in his mouth. You got distracted, relaxed, and probably fell asleep. Now when you get bad (anxious or tense), you feel compelled to put something into your mouth for relaxation and pleasure.

C. There is a third unconscious program that is right for some people. It's called emotional eating. Emotional eating occurs when a person is motivated to make him or her even fat, because by being fat they will protect themselves in one way or another.

For example, if someone got their heart broken in a relationship, their unconscious drive them in a manner that would prevent them from getting their heart broken again. Example: You are motivated to get fat to keep them out of new relationships because it would eliminate the possibility of another broken heart.

D. I have written several articles about weight loss hypnosis and compulsive eating, which is available on my website. There are some effective ways using hypnosis to overcome emotional eating.

So just how can weight loss hypnosis solve these problems? Let's cover them one at a time.

In the "A" above: Conditional responses may be "eliminated" quickly and easily through an avenue, which I call "Flash". Flash took the unconscious mind to setup new answers. In the example above, the subject had unconsciously combined impression of food in hand with TV. Every time he / she sat down to watch TV, the unconscious mind filled the missing part of depiction: The "flashed" the image of food in hand, and the subject felt an urge and a desire to eat.

Flash is a system that lets us program the subconscious to use the visualization of the TV as a trigger for a visualization of yourself watching TV without eating. When we lose the image of the food we lose the cravings.

When we momentarily dissociate (see ourselves from the perspective that another person would) we are not able to sense our feelings (cravings and urges).

When we see ourselves in a behavior (watching TV without eating), we feel a strong desire to generate this behavior. So the subject loses cramped, and actually get a compulsion to reject food.

In section "B" above: The subject is eating and drinking for relaxation and enjoyment. We teach the subject self-hypnosis for weight loss because the very essence of the hypnotic state of deep relaxation.

And we use "Flash" To program the subconscious to use mental images and thoughts that trigger feelings of anger and nervous tension that triggers the secondary mental pictures and thoughts will trigger the relaxation response. When the subject feels more relaxed in general oral cravings greatly reduced.

In the "C" above: We discussed impulsive eating which makes the person overweight. "Behavior" of being overweight then provides some form of emotional protection. So we use an arrangement called an NLP Six-Step Reframe, which programs the subconscious to be responsible for making the subject automatically substitute some other more acceptable behavior that will provide the same emotional protection, instead of being overweight. And it will reformulate abandon compulsion to eat for emotional purposes.

Self-hypnosis for weight loss can be a very useful technique. I can hedge tip of the iceberg in this short article. Please see my website for more comprehensive articles and information.
