Weight Loss

30x

30x More Effective Than Diet and Exercise Alone

“[A Study] investigated the effects of hypnosis in weight loss for 60 females, at least 20% overweight. Treatment included group hypnosis with metaphors for ego-strengthening, decision making and motivation, ideomotor exploration in individual hypnosis, and group hypnosis with maintenance suggestions. Hypnosis was more effective than a control group: an average of 17 lbs lost by the hypnosis group vs. an average of 0.5 lbs lost by the control group, on follow-up.”

How Hypnosis Works

What is Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a normal natural state we move in and out of in everyday life.

For example: If you have ever zoned out while driving, watching T.V., listening to music, or working on something relaxing you may have drifted into a state of hypnosis. We also pass through the state of hypnosis while we are falling asleep at night and first thing in the morning. This is why many of us experience our best ideas during these times of the day. The scientific term for hypnosis is the alpha-theta state, which refers to the brain wave activity during this state of consciousness. During hypnosis, the door to the otherwise hidden world of our subconscious mind opens. The subconscious mind rules our impulses, habits, automatic behaviors, motivations, and so much more.

Through the use of hypnosis, we can reprogram your subconscious to bring your whole mind in alignment with your goals.

Can I Be Hypnotized

The ability to go into the state of hypnosis is based on each person’s unique learning style.

Hypnotherapy that takes a one-size-fits-all approach will be effective for approximately 25% of the population. Moving into the state of hypnosis is something you can improve on with practice. All you need to be able to do is relax and follow some simple instructions. Only about 10% of the population cannot be hypnotized. These people tend to fall into the category of mentally disabled with an IQ of 75 and below.

What is it Like to Be Hypnotized

After assessing your learning style, Your hypnotherapist will gently guide you into the state of hypnosis using verbal cues and processes.

The process of hypnosis is not dissimilar to guided meditation. You will be instructed by your hypnotist to sit back, relax, and simply listen along to their instructions. You will likely experience a level of mental chatter during the state of hypnosis. Unlike meditation, it is not necessary to quiet the mind in order for hypnosis to be effective. Hypnosis works to reprogram your subconscious while your conscious mind takes a little break. This is not dissimilar to the experience of daydreaming during a boring class lecture at school. Your conscious thinking mind does not need to be present or engaged to see results with hypnosis. Some people may experience hypnotic sensations such as lightness, heaviness, tingling, and deep relaxation during the process. In the deeper states of hypnosis, you may feel as though your mind wandered off someplace else entirely.
