Lose weight by hypnosisIs it really possible to lose weight by hypnosis? The answer is yes. Many people who have been unsuccessful with dieting and exercise alone have been able to lose weight by hypnosis. So what exactly is hypnosis?Put simply, it is a trance like state induced by another person. The person being hypnotized is not actually asleep and does have full awareness of their surroundings and the presence of the hypnotist. Whilst in this trance like state the person being hypnotized is more susceptible to suggestions. What will happen when I with the hypnotist?Hopefully the first thing that will happen is you will be made to feel at ease if you are nervous or uncomfortable in any way about what is going to happen. The hypnotist will ask you to sit or lay down, then start to speak in a relaxed and controlled tone to you. He may ask you to think of certain things that would help you to feel very relaxed. An example of this would be to imagine you are laying on a beach getting a sun tan feeling totally relaxed, so much so that even having to move a muscle would be a huge effort. When you are in a completely relaxed state of mind, the hypnotist may spend some time telling you very positive statements. At some point the hypnotist will use some anchors. An anchor links a thought to an action. An example of this would be that whenever you smile, it will remind you to do some exercise. After all the statements have been made, you will gently been brought out of hypnosis. In our example of relaxing on the beach getting a sun tun, we will slowly be brought round from it. The hypnotist will then count 3-2-1 and you will open your eyes. What does it feel like?Whilst being hypnotized your body should feel completely relaxed, so the last thing you would want to do is move. Your mind should still be sharp and alert though. It is not like you have been drugged, you still have the ability to “get out” of the hypnosis at any time. 
yes... but how can this help me to lose weight?As mentioned above, the person being hypnotized is more susceptible to suggestions. The person being hypnotized or “the subject” can be helped to change their personal feelings towards foods and exercise. If we are able to change our personal feelings and thoughts through hypnosis, we are able to harness this power to have a lower desire to eat and a greater desire to exercise. It sounds a bit far fetched, will it work?Well, yes, it does appear far fetched and is by no means a miracle cure for being overweight or obese, or we would all be doing it already. However, if accompanied by your best efforts to eat appropriately and exercise, it can dramatically increase your chances of being successful than if you were not undergoing hypnosis. Is there anywhere I go to learn about other peoples experiences?Yes, there are many resources online. hyponosisforum.com is a popular forum discussing hypnosis. How can I find a hyponotherepist near me?There are many ways. You can look in your local phone directory. Do a google search with “hypnotist in TOWNNAME”, replacing TOWNNAME with your town.
