| 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. 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. 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. Hypnotically induced suggestions for therapeutic purposes are not about wished-for fantasies. Fantasizing about losing excess pounds is not going to help, if no concrete action is taken to address the issue. Applying under self-generated hypnotherapy is one such action step, and a powerful one that delivers sought-after outcomes, if done correctly, consistently, and with patience. 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. | ||
