What are the healing arts?  Well, there are many different healing arts such as the many medical specialties including gynecology, general surgery, pediatrics and a host of other fields dealing with medical science.  Then there are the disciplines of psychology, massage therapy, chiropractic medicine and acupuncture.   What about hypnotism, is it a healing art?  Is it real?  Does it work? Many questions; let me answer them without wasting too much of your time. Yes, yes, and yes!   Hypnotism is real and certainly helps people.  Hypnotherapists work hand in hand with some medical doctors and is utilized by some psychiatrists to help their patients.  There is a very real difference between a hypnotist and a hypnotherapist.  Stage hypnotists gear themselves to more suggestible, willing individuals at a party or club to put on a fun but real show—you know like “you’re a chicken now and when I snap my finger you will walk and cluck like a chicken.”  Again, this phenomenon is real, however, very different from what a hypnotherapist does.   A hypnotherapist works with clients to help with smoking cessation, weight loss, pain management, anxiety, phobias along with assisting with athletic performance issues.  Many people have quit smoking, have lost weight and have had major successes with chronic pain issues under the direction and guidance of a hypnotherapist.  Additionally, in regards to pain, hypnosis has been found beneficial in minimizing pain in individuals or even stopping it when nothing else seemed to work.   Some athletes, including world-class athletes, utilize hypnotherapists to help them focus and function at a higher level than they seem to be able to achieve on their own.  Hypnotherapists work on tapping into a person’s unconscious mind to help them with whatever issues they want to change or modify.  The client or subject is never out of control and will never do something they do not want to do.   Hypnosis is authentic and if you are considering utilizing it, I suggest you look closely into the training an individual went through to be a hypnotherapist.  Was their training a weekend, a week or a year?  There is at least one school in The United States that has one year of training before certifying a hypnotherapist.   Hypnosis is real and is accepted by most individuals as a tool in various therapies.  If you have considered using it to help you in some way, contact an educated professional in the field or talk to your doctor and see if it may be right for you.   Steve Kovacs is the author of: Protect Yourself: The Simple Keys Women Need to be Safe and Secure.

Your reality is largely shaped by the beliefs that you hold. Beliefs can be compared to software that programs how you experience and relate to the environment around you. Who you are and how you relate to the world is controlled by your beliefs. In order to change yourself and your life, the place to start is with your beliefs. The major difficulty in dealing with beliefs is that most of those that affect you are harbored in your subconscious. Many of these subconsciously held beliefs sabotage your conscious efforts to improve your life and remain beyond your conscious control and awareness, impeding you from realizing your full potential. The subconscious is responsible for approximately 90% of a persons mental and physical functions so it makes sense to use the subconscious to create success in all areas of life. Self-hypnosis is a tool available to everyone and you can use it to penetrate the resistance to your conscious efforts and tap into the source of your own personal power. Anyone can generate the thoughts that have the power to change their lives: mentally, emotionally and physically. Know what your objectives are before beginning any session of self-hypnosis. Your objective can be anything; losing weight, improving your health, having a better relationship or making more money. Many people who use self-hypnosis claim that even when they had concentrated their efforts on only one or two objectives that other aspects of their lives improved beyond that which they had focused their intentions. Before starting a session, take note of your state of mind as well as your physical and emotional states. Determine how long your session will last. A session of self-hypnosis consists of four stages. 1. Induction 2. Deepening 3. Trance 4. Awakening Induction Induction is the intentional shifting of awareness from your normal state. Begin to relax by using deep breathing. Taking deep breaths in a rhythmic pattern will begin to relax the mind and body. Another method that can be used in the induction phase is to focus your sight on a single spot, letting your vision naturally blur and allowing the eyelids to close on their own. Deepening Deepening is similar to induction but extends to a deeper level of relaxation. Count down from a number of your choice until zero. Synchronize the count with your deep breathing and gradually put yourself into a deeper state of relaxation as each number is counted. There is no need to pick too high of a number: between 3 and 10 is optimal. If you prefer not to countdown, try visualizing some peaceful, beautiful location. This place could be imaginary or somewhere you have actually visited. Trance Trance is also known as the Auto-Suggestion phase as this is where you will be repeating to yourself a script which describes the positives changes you wish to take hold in your subconscious. This script will be something that you have written in advance. It can be as short as a few words or as long as a few paragraphs. Most importantly, the script should be written in terms of implementing positive chance and avoiding terms describing making changes to negative behaviors or circumstances. For instance, if you are trying to lose weight, repeat something such as, “I eat healthy everyday and feel fulfilled” but do not repeat something like, “I will stop eating so much chocolate”. Once you have become more comfortable and familiar with entering into the trance phase you may decide to try making a longer, more comprehensive script to read or you can record your script to play back during this time. To enhance the effectiveness of the trance phase create the emotion within yourself of how you will feel once you have realized your objective. For someone beginning self-hypnosis, the most asked question is “How do I know when I am in trance?” The reality is that it is different for every individual. Trance is a natural state that exists in everyone. Have you ever been driving and suddenly realized you have gone miles without being aware? Have you ever been so involved in some activity that you lost perception of time? These are examples of natural trance. With time and experience you will recognize your own personal signals to indicate when you are in trance. Signals can be physical, emotional or mental. Below is a small list of examples of possible signals to give you an idea of what to expect. Emotional * Tranquility * Euphoria * Neutrality * Forgiveness * Unconditional Love * Detachment Mental * Altered time perception * Clarity * Wisdom Physical * Tingling * Warmth * Light headed * Floating or levitating Awakening The final phase of your self-hypnosis session is Awakening which simply means returning to your normal state of consciousness. Obviously, it is best to comeback gradually and not with a jolt. This can be accomplished by using the same countdown method as used in the deepening phase except with each step increasing to your normal conscious state. The effectiveness of self-hypnosis is in balancing the intentions of the conscious with the subconscious. The conscious mind is rational and envisions the changes that you want. The subconscious is creative, intuitive and powerful. It creates a reality based on beliefs of which you are too often unaware. By using self-hypnosis, you can program your subconscious mind to work for you to create the life you desire. Results will not appear immediately but with practice and patience the results will be dramatic and well worth the effort.

To many people hypnosis seems exotic, mysterious, maybe even a bit mystical. Therefore it is difficult for many to connect with hypnosis, and to understand how they can personally benefit from hypnosis. Hypnosis is not mystical, and it is only mysterious when you don’t know how it works–much like any other skilled profession. Hypnosis is no more exotic or mysterious than dentistry. The only difference is we see a dentist on a regular basis throughout our entire life, but are much less likely to experience professional hypnosis, or hypnotherapy. Hypnosis is a natural state that everyone experiences on a daily basis. At a minimum, you are in hypnosis twice a day. You pass through a hypnotic state as you fall asleep, and as you wake up. You may also experience hypnosis “zoning” in front of the TV, or you may experience “highway hypnosis,” when you reach your destination but don’t remember the details of the drive. Sure, stage hypnosis is funny and the comedic hypnotists work hard to keep hypnosis mysterious–it’s part of the show. But if this is the only exposure you’ve had to hypnotism, you’ve only scratched the surface. Hypnotism has many more practical uses that can benefit your everyday life. Here are five common, everyday issues that hypnosis can help you with. There are many more applications for hypnosis that can benefit you in your everyday life. Many have used hypnosis successfully for weight loss, to improve their memory, to relieve stage fright or performance anxiety, and much, much more. How could hypnosis benefit your life? Cindy Locher, C.Ht., is a Clinical Hypnotherapist living and working in Minnesota. Cindy’s passions are helping others find health through natural, holistic means. She specializes in hypnotherapy for such issues as insomnia, weight loss, smoking cessation, tinnitus, stage fright, and release of fears and phobias.asap travel

Nearly every popular diet plan ends up backfiring. They seem good at first, but they adversely stimulate the body’s survival mechanisms. This causes the body to store extra fat, lower its metabolic rate, conserve energy and increase food cravings. Desperate people hope in vain that the results will be different this time. And the next. This is the dreaded ‘yo-yo’ dieting syndrome. Don’t think it is only you. This happens to almost everyone who loses weight. 98 percent, to be precise. And to make matters worse, the failures lead to a lack of confidence, sadness and misery. You might think you don’t have the willpower to be successful. It might always seem like the wrong time. Past failures may have drained your enthusiasm and left you with no motivation. It gets worse. Frustrating to many people trying to lose weight is that even when they do eat properly and exercise regularly they still don’t see results. Or they put the weight they lost back on, with interest. Why? Contrary to what many diet centers would have you believe, weight loss is not a simple matter of balancing calories in and calories out, or even of nutrition and exercise. There are other factors that make the process much more complicated. We tend to think of the weight loss process as a matter of physical change. However, this is only partly true. The physical changes are governed by the brain, through a complicated system of electrical impulses, hormones and neuro-transmitters. If the brain sends the wrong signals to the body the weight loss process can become completely ineffective, despite your physical efforts. What are the wrong signals? They are natural survival instincts, and they can wreak havoc with weight management. When they are activated, the brain coaxes the body to conserve energy. Metabolism lowers. ‘Stress hormones’ cause an excess of blood sugar to be converted into fat, and also inhibit the breakdown of body fat to energy. In these circumstances the body naturally seeks the most convenient and simple sources of energy – sugars and simple carbohydrates. This explains those cravings for sweets and simple carbs? Fat is last on the list to be burned, because the process is less efficient and takes longer. That is not good for survival, and survival is the priority in these circumstances. So how are these survival instincts activated? They can be activated by ANY danger or stress – real or imagined. This even includes obsessive thoughts about dieting which alert the brain to a false starvation scenario. As far as our brains and bodies are concerned: stress is stress. ALL stress puts us in an ‘emergency’ state. It doesn’t matter if the stress is life-threatening or simply everyday hassles of life. When we get overwhelmed, traffic jams, parenting, school, bills, work or practically anything can trigger the same negative effect. There is no doubt about it: Worry, anger, stress and all negative emotions are fattening! Since the body is controlled by the brain, and the brain is so easily influenced by the mind, your thoughts can make or break you, regardless of how much physical effort you expend. Basically, before changing your body you must change your mind – specifically, the subconscious mind. Many of my clients see a shift in their weight loss and metabolism only AFTER they learn to control stress, worry and negativity. How do you accomplish this? The only way I know to quickly and effectively change the subconscious mind is to use hypnosis. It is easy, safe and can work with anyone. Why does hypnosis work so well? It is quite simple really. Hypnosis allows you to ‘re-program’ your subconscious mind. If you don’t change the subconscious you could be setting yourself up for another failure. The subconscious is simply defending what it is accustomed too. It just doesn’t understand your conscious goals. We have all experienced this! Using hypnosis, removing stress and other blocks to weight loss opens the doors to success that may have been slammed shut in the past. For so many who have lost all hope, this really provides a refreshing and realistic opportunity. Hypnosis and hypnotherapy are sweeping the nation. Its effectiveness has been well documented in countless studies and trials. Hypnosis has become so popular that millions have benefited from its use. It is used daily in medicine and dentistry, psychology, law, education, sports improvement and general self-improvement. Everyone can be hypnotized. When in hypnosis you are completely aware and in control, so it is completely safe. It is also fun! So instead of just imagining, you can actually experience having tremendous willpower and self-control. You can enjoy healthy exercise. You can naturally maintaining your ideal size. And all the while feeling relaxed, confident and positive. What could be better? Remember the rule that you must change the mind before changing your body. Then you can finally experience lasting success. People who want to lose weight without the pain and repeated failure are turning to hypnosis.

For many the struggle to lose weight is an endless cycle of self sacrifice, low self esteem and resigned acceptance. It is a difficult and daunting task to lose weight, much of the hard work can be rapidly undone when a crash diet ends and normality returns. There are often psychological reasons for overeating such as stress, boredom or sadness. Unless these reasons and patterns of behaviour are changed it is likely that the ‘old ways’ will return. There are alternatives however: Hypnosis combined with Neuro Linguistic Programming and Time Line Therapy has proven very successful. Master Hypnotist Luca Senatore has helped many people lose up to 6 pounds a week. Luca works with the unconscious mind to identify and clear the reasons for unhealthy eating. He then works to establish alternative behaviours creating a healthy attitude towards food and general lifestyle. Luca is currently involved with a documentary recording how a local woman lost a total of 5 stones following a hypnotherapy program. Details of this exciting project will be released in October 2009. Many of Luca’s clients report big improvements in other areas of their life. Julie attended a 2 session program and says: ‘Food does not seem my priority anymore. I eat when I am hungry and find that my portions are smaller. I have now lost a total of 8 lbs!’ Kim has reported: ‘my carbohydrate portions are about half what they used to be and it’s not something I have to enforce, that’s just the way it is. I feel more energetic and my thoughts are naturally turning to exercise in my free time. I am not craving junk food anymore.’ Luca simply claims: ‘diets don’t work, reprogramming your mind to feel less hungry and like certain foods less does.’ Luca Senatore runs East Anglia Hypnotherapy based in Cambridge and is a fully qualified Master Hypnotist, NLP  and Time Line Therapy Practitioner and Life Coach registered with the British Institute of Hypnotherapy. www.eastangliahypnotherapy.com. 01223 303 904 or bookings@eastangliahypnotherapy.com Sales and Marketing Professional with 20 years experience at Corporate level.

While hypnosis is not a word we hear everyday, it is a word that many people seem to have a preconceived definition for.  The most common thought is that hypnosis is an altered state of mind that brings the subject to a trance like state. The rest of the definition not quite as well known is subject is vulnerable to suggestions in order to change their lives.  When combined this is a correct assumption and a rather accurate description. However hypnosis entails more than just the trance like state you see depicted in many movies and television shows, it is a deep and complicated relationship held between hypnotist and subject that comes complete with a desired set of goals to achieve. Hypnosis is an altered state of mind.  When a subject is under hypnosis they are much more responsive as they experience their inner world the subject’s thoughts and ideas become more vivid and actionable through the art of suggestion and language. The responsiveness in a hypnotic trance is much more sensitive than that of a normal state of being; thoughts and suggestions presented by you, the hypnotist, will become part of your subject’s inner world creating a pallet for you to work with and mold into the desired outcome. This is important to remember, because as you sharpen your skills as a hypnotist you will always be affecting your subject, everything that becomes a part of your clients inner world will eventually become a part of their outer world as they put your hypnotic suggestions into action. Another thing that hypnosis is is a very natural way of being, it is not magical or strange, and in fact many people spend a large amount of their days in hypnotic trances, as you learn to entrance people you will start to notice those around you who are experiencing hypnotic trances in everyday life. An example of an everyday experience that can often result in a hypnotic trance is driving.  Many times we get behind the wheel and know where we started, and suddenly we are at our destination.  We don’t recall how we got there or any of the events that happened along the drive, this is a hypnotic trance. The rhythms we are used to, such as the feel of the car, can relax us to the point that our subconscious takes over and does the work for use while we, excuse the term as many like to call it, ‘zone out’.  This may sound strange at first but when you really consider all the activities we do everyday we have been conditioned all through out our lives to enter hypnotic trances. Have you ever watched a movie and later realized that the only thing in your mind and field of vision was a 15 inch screen, obviously you can see the rest of the room, people, cat and dog while focusing on the screen but the concentration and trance that is produced makes it seem as though the only thing that exists in the room is that little screen and the action it is producing. Reading a book, we often get lost in the story and never realize what the ‘real world’ is doing around us. As you read you experience changing emotions, happiness, fear, suspense, sadness and tears.  This interaction with the words and information being relayed to your mind alters your state of mind and becomes a hypnotic process in itself. This emotional response is unconscious, the changing of your emotions, ideas and life, is one of the fundamental and guiding themes when learning hypnosis.  You have no choice in your emotions, you do not get to choose how you feel about a thing, it is simply a conscious response by your unconscious mind as a reaction to the suggestions you are presenting to yourself. Hypnosis can and usually will result from any repetitive task you enjoy engaging in.  Runners experience runners high, they alter their mind and experience a trance like state while their body works they feel healthy and alive.  Entering this altered state of mind is a form of self hypnotherapy which is a very powerful place to put yourself, and a powerful thing to be able to accomplish for yourself. There is almost always the effect that the book you are reading will change either your mood, emotion, ideas and ultimately could change how you live your life, such is the objective of a hypnotist.Learn Hypnosis WP Autoblog Software

I had a conversation the other evening with a group of people who all work in the same firm and in which several colleagues had all lost significant amounts of weight and had kept it off. I asked how they had got started on this course of action. The answer, which everyone was in agreement with, was that one particular person had started to lose weight and was about 20 pounds lighter than before; everyone began to comment upon how good he looked and then one colleague said he would do it too…then the other’s said “if you’re doing it, I’ll do it too”. A reference was made to the “herd instinct”. That’s how it all began. Everyone who joined this group has lost weight and kept if off – EVERYONE. Now that is, I have to say, unusual. Clearly the first person, the leader, inspired a great deal of confidence within the group. I do not know them well enough to know what dynamics were at work, but it is interesting to conjecture what might have happened… Perhaps this “weight loss leader” was someone who was particularly well respected in general, someone who everybody looked up to and tried to emulate. Perhaps this was not the case; maybe this “weight loss leader” was actually a REALLY overweight person, who had tried every diet under the sun and failed in the past, and in losing weight now made everyone think “If he can do it, I DEFINITELY can”. You can see now how diverse the underlying dynamics could be, but whatever they were, they worked. What is also demonstrated is how suggestible we all are, provided we are given the right suggestion. A stage hypnotist knows only too well how to put the human instinct for suggestibility to work. A stage hypnotist will pick the most highly suggestible subject to perform the first “trick” and then work in order from one person to another in accordance with their initial levels of suggestibility. As each person is seen responding to the hypnotist’s suggestion the following person’s suggestibility is raised. And so by the end, the least suggestible subject will become as suggestible as the first subject to be picked. That person’s belief in the hypnotist’s ability is raised, bit by bit, simply by observing the others reactions. The bottom line is that we are all suggestible, given the correct stimulus. I wish I had a dollar for every person who over the years has booked a hypnotherapy session and upon arrival their opening announcement was “I don’t know if this will work as I know I’m not suggestible”. As a hypnotherapist, my job is to work out what is the right “hook” for each person. This job is quite often done before the client arrives; for example, if a heavy smoker has been for a hypnotherapy session and stopped easily, then everyone they tell expects it to work for them, just as if a “larger” person has lost a lot of weight encourages everyone else to think that they can do it too. And so when asked the question of how suggestible you are, the answer is that you are as suggestible as you want to be. It boils down to expectation and desire. We are all inherently suggestible which is witnessed in the way in which we pick up our native tongue, and learn so many things simply by imitating and copying. We are suggestible in things such as clothing fashion, hair style, and choice of career. Every human being is extraordinarily suggestible!

Every now and then life throws us a curve-ball. This is unavoidable even for the most grounded and successful people. There are a number of causes of frustration and unhappiness, and one of these is the expectation that ‘everything should always go exactly as I want it to go’. Books on the subject of the Law of Attraction would have you believe that you CAN have everything your way all of the time, I’ve never seen this proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. This is not to say that I’m not a fan of the Law of Attraction; on the contrary, I’m a big fan and I use the principles in my every day life. For the most part I am happy. I’m able to create the things I want and I’m living my life on purpose. But like everybody, I have days where I just want to cry out with frustration. We all have those days. The key to getting through them is to let go of your attachment to things being ‘just so’ all of the time. One of the most common questions we can ask ourselves when things aren’t going quite as we had planned is ‘Why?’ This question can often leaves us feeling stuck and defeated, because the answer is usually something we don’t want to hear or acknowledge. The ‘why’ question very often finishes with the phrase ‘I don’t know.’ If they are not used correctly, ‘why’ questions can exacerbate the existing problem rather than assisting us to generate a solution. The ‘why’s are particularly prevalent among my weight loss clients. Here are some of the more disempowering ‘why’ questions: * Why am I doing this?;* Why did he do that to me?;* Why me????’;* Why Can’t I lose this weight? When you ask these kinds of questions you often end up going around in circles. Many of my clients become stuck in victim mentality. They hang onto past hurts and resentments, continually asking ‘Why??’, and continuing to get the same answer. ‘I don’t know’. The truth is it’s likely that most times you will never know the answer to life’s mysteries. Most often we never really discover the real reasons why some things happen to us, so if we allow ourselves to become attached to finding that answer then it only causes more frustration, pain and emptiness. Take weight loss for example. When I conduct the initial weight loss hypnotherapy consultation, I very rarely ask the client to describe her current eating habits. Whatever she’s doing, it’s not working; that’s why she’s come to see me. So from where I’m standing, asking the client about what she is doing now only serves to give the unwanted behavior more power and waste valuable time that could otherwise be used to discuss more positive strategies. Even if I was to engage the client in discussion of her current behavior, she would probably tell me: ‘I don’t know why I do it.’ ‘Danielle’ found herself going around in circles. She was 50 kilos overweight and getting bigger every day. No matter what work we did together, she continued to hang onto her old behaviors. Each session she would earnestly say to me: ‘I don’t know why I keep doing this’. Unfortunately, ‘Danielle’ was looking to me to provide the answer and when I couldn’t, she went away deeming the therapy a ‘failure’. You can’t win’em all. But all was not lost; my experience with ‘Danielle’ inspired me to focus on the solution rather than the problem with my clients. Remember, your subconscious mind gives you whatever you focus on. When focusing on solutions, I like to use ‘what’ questions, such as: * What emotions are you feeling when you overeat?;* What purpose does overeating serve you at the time?;* What specifically are you willing to do differently to change your circumstances? This last question is very important. At the end of the day, ‘Danielle’ continued with her old habits and behaviors because she was not willing to do something different. No amount of hypnosis can help a person who is not willing to change what they are doing. Now, I’m not saying we should never explore the reasons why people overeat and refuse to exercise. Diagnosis is an intrinsic part of my program. What I AM saying is that most times we don’t need to know why we are behaving in a certain way in order to be able to move away from that behavior. We simply need to get ourselves out of that stuck mindset that says ‘because I have always done this in the past, this means I am destined to do it forever.’ So the next time you feel stuck, try a ‘what’ question instead. This will open your mind to creative solutions and inspire you to do something different. Here’s to positive change. Sonia Devine is one of Australia’s leading experts in weight loss hypnotherapy.

Nearly every popular diet plan ends up backfiring. They seem good at first, but they adversely stimulate the body’s survival mechanisms. This causes the body to store extra fat, lower its metabolic rate, conserve energy and increase food cravings. Desperate people hope in vain that the results will be different this time. And the next. This is the dreaded ‘yo-yo’ dieting syndrome. You know the problem. You’re tired of losing the same weight over and over. You’ve tried every diet and fad imaginable. All your well-intentioned, painful efforts failed. You are not alone. Only 2% of dieters keep the weight off for 5 years. More than 60% of Americans are overweight. Even worse, because it can be so hard to stick to a diet plan most people ultimately just give up, and suffer many negative emotions. Sound familiar? Also, many believe that they don’t have the strength or willpower to succeed. Or it is just never the right time. Desperate people hope in vain that the results will be different next time. And the next. This is the dreaded ‘yo-yo’ dieting syndrome. Over $30 billion spent on diet products, pills, fads and centers each year has proven one undeniable fact: DIETS DON’T WORK! So what can you do? Is there hope? Yes… read on. One of the most interesting and revealing weight loss challenges of our time was witnessed by millions of viewers. “Dateline” put six methods to the test in front of millions of viewers; Atkins, Weight Watchers, Slimfast, Jorge Cruise, Marathon Training, and Hypnosis. Many were surprised by the results. All but one of the methods showed poor to terrible results – even though the participants had unfair coaching and advantages not available to ordinary people. There were also painful side-effects. Only one method really succeeded – hypnosis. And this was with the hardest case – a pastry chef with cravings, and a difficult schedule. Yet after three months under hypnosis he had lost the most – a staggering 40 pounds. Also, he was the only participant who did not suffer. He was happy. Changes occurred naturally. Not to mention other positive benefits and feelings. Also, he was the only one who had started a reasonable lifestyle change that could be maintained. None of the other methods can do that. This televised study shows without a doubt how many popular weight loss programs fail. Yet I hear all the time; “I must go back to ’so-and-so’ because it worked last time.” Let’s be serious; if it worked then why do you need to go back? Did you regain the weight plus interest? Then it failed! I am appalled that most diet centers thrive on repeat business. It is just not fair to exploit people that way. So let’s redefine success as life-long freedom from a weight problem. And to make it a reality, perhaps it’s time for a different strategy – one that actually works! To paraphrase Albert Einstein: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” Hypnosis is clearly a superior method for making lasting and natural changes in behavior. The evidence supporting this is overwhelming. The incredible long-term results put other methods to shame. With the aid of hypnosis you have it within you to enjoy freedom from cravings; have the energy and desire to exercise; naturally choose and enjoy healthier foods and portions; achieve freedom from stress and stress-eating and enjoy amazing confidence. The use of hypnosis is sweeping the nation. Clinically tested and proven, hypnosis is a fresh approach to eliminating problems and modifying behavior. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Americans are using hypnosis every day. Old myths and misconceptions about hypnosis have been replaced by its ethical use in law, medicine, psychology, dentistry, education, sports and self-improvement. Millions have benefited from its use. Imagine having tremendous willpower, enjoying healthy exercise, naturally maintaining your ideal size and figure and always being calm and relaxed. Why imagine? Everyone can be easily hypnotized. Hypnotized people are fully aware and in control, and cannot be made to do anything against their will. In fact, hypnosis is as safe as falling asleep at night, as well as being relaxing and fun.

In April 2003, “Dateline” introduced six members of the class of ‘78 at Quincy High in Massachusetts, looking to lose weight for their 25th reunion in the fall of 2003. The six methods used were Atkins, Weight Watchers, Slimfast, Jorge Cruise, Marathon Training, and Hypnosis. Here is how they stack up: Slimfast Mark Giordani, using Slimfast started to complain of hunger all the time. And nothing seemed to satisfy him. “I went back to the attitude where I’m hungry, I’m going to eat and I don’t really care.” Despite expert intervention that is not available to most people, he couldn’t wait for the diet challenge to end. To quote Mark: “I’m going to IHOP tomorrow, and I’m getting the whole left side of the menu.” Obviously, if it needs expert intervention, it’s not likely to work on its own. Also, a lot of specialized food has to be bought. Hardly a recipe for success if you attempt to live life normally. Atkins The Atkins participant, Rick Burnes, had headaches, terrible constipation, and developed a painful case of gout, that he believed was a result of the diet. He gained 24 pounds, despite having specialized help from a leading Atkins expert, special meals and even medical attention. Enough said. So, could this plan be called a lifestyle? Definitely not. As well as having to buy expensive food, there had to be intervention from an expert. Weight Watchers Kathy Wynters, doing Weight Watchers, refused to weigh in, but after the diet immediately went for deserts and chocolates. To quote her: “The desserts and the chocolates. I had them, I wanted them and I had them.” And she began putting on weight. Despite having expert help, this occurred twice. The fact that this woman had used this program previously is very important. Since she weighed even more than before when starting the program this time it is clear that doing it in the past had not created any worthy changes in her lifestyle of metabolism. Also, expert ’supervision’ was required again. Obviously things go downhill when the supervision is ended? Jorge Cruise Eleanor Talbot, did the Jorge Cruise program. After having problems, Dateline arranged a weekend retreat to help Eleanor, and intervention from the programs founder. Further, because of emotional issues she had, she required more expert help again. Most people do not have access to this extra support. And it didn’t really help her. Again, she needed constant, expensive personal support. Keep in mind that although it is often vital to address emotional problems when losing weight, this is generally ignored with most programs. Marathon Training Lynn Frank tried marathon training. She also stuck to 1300 a day. She was trained by a leading expert. But progress was unsatisfactory. So Lynn received expert intervention from a nutritionist and exercise physiologist. Even though she did lose weight, she required extensive coaching and suffered a lot of pain and injury. Let’s face it – expert coaching is not a realistic lifestyle. Keep in mind that all the above participants had expert intervention not available to most. This shows that it’s not likely to work “out of the box”. Much expensive, specialized food had to be bought. Despite all the extra support the results were not at all good. Hypnosis Marc Merlis tried Hypnosis. No doubt he was the toughest case – a pastry chef with cravings, and a difficult schedule. After only three months Marc had lost more than any of the other participants – an incredible 40 pounds. Hypnosis motivated Marc to enthusiastically work with a fitness trainer, and to eat properly and with natural control That’s when his wife got in on the action. The hypnotist helped her to stop smoking. And guess what? Smoke free, and fat free. Very interesting is that using hypnosis, Marc did not suffer. He was happy. Changes occurred naturally. Not to mention other positive benefits and feelings. AND he established a true and realistic lifestyle. In summary, losing weight successfully is not about dieting, but rather a sensible lifestyle that can be readily accepted. Hypnosis facilitates this admirably. Instead of being an instant fix, it aims for long-term results. Another significant fact is that the problems other participants had with emotions, willpower, self-discipline and enthusiasm could also have been helped with hypnosis. Study after study shows that hypnosis is the most successful and affordable method for weight loss, as well as many other behavior changes. Hypnosis can truly be a light at the end of the tunnel for so many who have failed with other methods, or simply given up hope. I hope you agree that hypnosis was the clear winner.
