Food. It’s one thing we can’t do without. Certain foods remind us of special times in our lives and trigger memories. Food is often associated with getting a reward. And who hasn’t eaten something comforting when you are feeling down?

We eat when we are happy. We eat when we are sad. We eat when we are bored.

Yet these days so many of us are treating food as an enemy because of the excess weight we are carrying.

Hypnosis can change your relationship with food

Weight loss is certainly top of the agenda for many people. And if you’re looking to fast track your results, and have on-going success, hypnosis could be your answer.

While fad diets and nutrition plans focus on what you put in your mouth and how often, hypnotherapy changes how you feel about what you eat.

Studies have shown that hypnosis, along with behaviour modification, can be very effective in weight loss. It has been found that people who receive nutritional advice along with specific food aversion hypnosis, were more likely to lose weight than those who didn’t receive hypnosis.

In just a few hours hypnosis can help you change your associations with certain foods so your eating habits and behaviour is under your control.

Imagine changing the way you feel about certain foods and decreasing your craving for them.

How does hypnosis work for weight loss?

Motivation

Experts say the most important factor for changing any unwanted behaviour, such as overeating or eating unhealthy foods, is having a strong personal reason for doing so.

Through hypnosis, the benefits of losing weight are identified and intensified. Motivation for losing weight is locked in the forefront of the mind. This means it is with you all the time, even after you’ve reached your goal.

Suggestion

Weight loss hypnosis works by giving patients a number of suggestions that will affect eating behaviour.

For example a hypnotherapist could suggest” You’ll eat until your food stops tasting absolutely delicious” or “You’ll eat less food and feel more satisfied.” Your mind will interpret these suggestions with a heightened sensibility.

Once your body and mind are in relaxation mode, your hypnotherapist will be able to access your unconscious mind - the part that works all the time without us being aware of it.

Soothing, carefully worded scripts can be used to explore your reasons for overeating and suggest new ways of thinking through visualizations. Remember you always have the control to reject any suggestions you don't feel happy with.

Hypnotherapy for weight loss is becoming increasingly accepted and finally it is being given the credit it deserves. There are many respected therapists on line who you could work with.

Over time you will learn how to replace your negative habits and eating patterns with positive ones suggested by your hypnotherapist.

Visualization techniques

By targeting the unconscious mind with powerful suggestions, a hypnotherapist will help you develop a new, positive relationship with food and exercise. The aim is to make you feel confident about your body, change any negative thoughts about eating, and help you lose weight healthily and responsibly.

Some useful visualizations could include:

Imagining the body you want and your desired level of fitness
Imagining how you will feel with your new look and vitality
Imagining reaching goals effortlessly
Imagining being energized and confident
Imaging becoming a person who enjoys exercise
Imagining becoming a person who only eats when they are hungry.

Can I be hypnotized?

If it is your desire to be hypnotized chances are it will work for you. Of course your success will increase considerably with your ability to cooperate with the hypnotherapist and allow yourself to be hypnotized.

While it certainly won't work in the same way for everyone, the process of talking about developing good habits and getting rid of bad habits should help plant a new level of awareness when it comes to food and exercise.

Is it safe?

The use of hypnosis in medicine and healing has been around for hundreds of years.

Hypnosis is simply a natural state of focus and concentration — similar to what you experience when watching a movie, reading a book or daydreaming.

Think of your hypnotherapist as a coach guiding you into a state of deep relaxation.

And as any hypnotherapist will tell you - you are always in control of your mind and aware of what’s going on. Throughout your sessions you will remain in control and you will not:
