Self-Hypnosis for Weight Loss

Self-hypnosis for weight loss is not something mystical or unattainable. Lots of people achieved success by mastering the self-hypnosis techniques and applying them to all the areas of their lives.

Self-hypnosis is a process that helps us to go deep into the subconscious mind and change the negative programming in any aspect of our lives. This can happen by giving new, empowering suggestions to your subconscious mind while in a deeply relaxed state.

Your life right now is a reflection of the program that is running over and over in your subconscious mind.

Do you like what you see? If not, then it is time for change.

Self-Hypnosis vs. Affirmations and Creative Visualizations

Repeating the positive suggestions are helpful any time during the day you do that. They can help you to snap out very quickly of different negative states.

For example, if something in your life doesn’t go in the direction you want to, you are most likely keep repeating to yourself “Nothing is working in my life, everything is wrong”. The more you say it the more negative you will become – this is a vicious circle. At this point try to break your negative states by repeating: “Everything is good, everything is going well”.

At the beginning you will feel a lot of resistance and will be irritated by doing so but if you continue repeating this in your mind you will start feeling better within 10-15 minutes. You’ll be able to see clearly and realize that everything will pass including the life phase you are in, one that you perceive as “negative”.

This is the power of positive affirmations at work.

This kind of suggestions work on a superficial level of the consciousness. While they work, they are NOT making a permanent change. In order for the positive changes to become permanent they need to reach your subconscious mind.

Self-hypnosis techniques help you to relax deeply so you will be able to change the negative programming permanently.

Self-Hypnosis for Weight Loss: Stage One



Before you even go into the creative affirmations and visualizations part you need to learn how to relax deeply.

The first stage of self-hypnosis is the progressive muscle relaxation. Here is how to do that:

Sit or lie in a comfortable position, close your eyes, mentally scan your body and relax all the muscles. Then concentrate on every single muscle and relax it. For example, repeat in your mind “my arm is completely relaxed; my arm is heavy and warm”. You should feel the heaviness and warmth.

To come back from a deeply relaxed position, start to move slowly you fingers, feet, arms and legs, stretch your body, then count to 10 and open your eyes.

Do not rush through this process. If you have never done this before it will take some time before your body learns how to relax deeply.

Do the relaxation exercises 2 times a day for 10-15 minutes for about a week before you attempt to go deeper.

Self-Hypnosis for Weight Loss: Stage Two

After learning the basic relaxation techniques you need to go deeper into the hypnotic state.

It is easier to do with a guided imagery CD that can slowly take you down into your subconscious mind.

In this stage you have to use your visualization skills. Imagine go down the stairs. With each step that you take your body relaxes even more. When you finish your decent you find yourself in a beautiful breath taking place that is special for you.

It is safe and only you know about this special place. See a waterfall or a river and feel how the sound of running water relaxes you deeply.

You can write the script before go into relaxation. You can also record yourself and playback while doing the relaxation exercise.

Another option is to buy a guided imagery professional audio to achieve quickly the hypnotic, highly suggestive state.
