Hypnosis refers to the act of inducing a trance state of deep relaxation, and heightened awareness. Usually, a qualified hypnotherapist would guide a client into such a meditative frame of mind, for purposes of what can be called deep reprogramming. Self hypnosis for weight loss involves the same principles, except that here hypnotically induced reprogramming, accompanied by appropriate suggestions, are self induced.
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.
Newcomers to hypnotic induction will be better off consulting the right professional first, to not only experience what it is like, but also to learn the proper techniques. One will also get ample opportunity in the presence of an experienced professional to practice and rehearse mastering the technique for purposes of self induction. It is the only way to make sure the wished-for goals can be achieved, and to avoid disappointment, and wasting time.
The essence of reprogramming the subconscious mind under self-created hypnotherapy lies in substituting habitual, self-defeating habits and beliefs with alternative, better ones. This can be achieved through making different, empowering, suggestions to the subconscious that are specific, and in line with one's behavioural change goals. It is also a matter of creating appropriate images, and visualizing many times what it would be like to be the new person one desires to be.
Before going into a self induced hypnotic state, it is vital to have clarity about what the habits and beliefs are one wishes to change, and what the sought after, alternatives ones are. Perhaps, some behaviours that contribute to being overweight includes impulsive eating, consuming lots of food when feeling anxious, or eating whenever one feels bored, for example. It would be a good idea to compile a list of key limiting beliefs and problem habits before proceeding with hypnosis, just to be clear what ought to be the focus of attention.
For example, a person might want to change negative thoughts and beliefs like, 'I will never get thinner, ' or, 'there is no point in trying to get rid of extra fat.' In addition, one might want to focus on new, empowering actions that could include eating healthier foods, chewing food slowly, eating smaller portions, and going for regular, brisk walks. Part of the hypnotic reprogramming might also entail imagining oneself actually looking thinner, and wearing clothes that fit comfortably on a trimmed-down body, for instance.
Some people are under the impression that hypnotherapy is the same as engaging in fantasies to change unwanted behaviours. This is far from the truth, however. In itself, it is one of the most effective, concrete, specific, and powerful actions an individual could take to overcome problem behaviours and attitudes. For self-initiated hypnotherapy to be successful requires patience, consistent practice, and applying the correct procedure.
Successful hypnotherapy, even when self-initiated, have worked for individuals that have practised it often enough. People that have managed to achieve the hoped-for body size and shape through regular sessions are evidence of its effectiveness. It may not work for everyone, but it has, and continues to, deliver the desired outcomes for many people.
