| There are no secret or mystical methods of losing weight but there are many tools available that can be a great benefit in helping to reach this goal. Self-hypnosis is an excellent way to achieve better health and enjoy the benefits of a trimmer and more attractive appearance. It is a state of mind that combines physiological, cognitive and affective processes and directs them to selected goals. It is a method of unifying and harmonizing your body, thoughts and feelings, so that you can achieve more personal successes in life...and achieve them with much less effort. |
Throughout history, self-hypnosis has existed in all ages and civilizations. Hypnotic phenomena, whether induced by someone, or achieved autonomously, has been studied throughout recorded history. Existing in ancient Greece and Egypt, were “Temples of Sleep,” where hypnotic religious and psychological healing methods were practiced more than 3,500 years ago. Self-hypnosis was an effective and beneficial part of religious practice and healing, long before its applications to Western medicine and psychotherapy. It has been practiced by American Indian Shamen, Australian Aborigines, and religious orders throughout the world.
Today, it has achieved widespread acceptance as both a secular and a scientific approach to self change. As an art of inner communication, it can be used for many purposes for those seeking lasting solutions to personal concerns and self-discovery. Over ninety percent of the normal population can be trained to experience and implement the effectiveness of self-hypnosis in their daily lives.
Hypnosis can bring you success at weight loss, especially if other approaches have failed. Many people report virtually “effortless” weight loss, because suggestions given under hypnosis have taught them to enjoy the foods they can eat, while not feeling deprived.
Important areas of your life must be changed in a positive way in order to
achieve a healthier weight. It is necessary to learn and understand the
principles of good nutrition and to learn to eat with pleasure only those
foods necessary to reach and maintain your ideal weight. Equally important is
a commitment to regular activity and exercise, a vital part of any weight
reduction program. With the proper hypnotic suggestions, you will look
forward to performing daily activities which assist your body in burning off
fat and eating healthy foods.
