Hypnosis for Weight Loss – Natural Arthritis Relief

Hypnosis for weight loss is so effective and simple, I'm amazed at the results more people don't do it. Dr. Vicky Thomas and I used to share an office, and also many patients. The one thing they all say is that hypnotherapy made sticking to their goals easy!

And that's the key. Sticking to your goals is the only way you'll reach them, whether it's weight loss, learning how to manage pain, building confidence, or overcoming fears. Because this site is dedicated to natural arthritis relief, I'm only going to focus on hypnosis for weight loss and pain control, but I'll tell you from personal experience, hypnotherapy has helped me focus, reach goals, and drop my stress levels tremendously.

Here's the typical pattern when you're doing an at home weight loss plan, whether you're following a structured program like Weight Watchers (TM), eating off a low glycemic index foods list like the one I recommend, or any other plan you've found. You get excited and committed to losing weight, you read all the materials and learn what you need to do and you stock the cupboards with the right foods. You may tell your friends you're on a diet and "don't tempt me" with stuff. You vow this time it's going to be different and you're going to reach your goal. And STAY there! And off you go.

You follow the plan for a few weeks and start losing weight. Maybe you even work in treats so you don't feel deprived and you still lose weight. This is fantastic and you feel great!

Somewhere along the way, maybe a month in, maybe a little more, something happens to derail you. It's only a temporary setback, but it seems easy not to follow the plan. And hey, you're doing so well, you can take a little break, and it'll be OK. You'll get right back on track in a couple days.

And maybe you do. But I bet if you're reading this that you got back on track and then something else derailed you. Don't feel bad, the reasons we get off track are as complicated and personal as the reasons we gained weight. What you're dealing with is a very powerful unconscious that has it's own reasons to keep you right where you are.

That last sentence is important enough I'm going to say it again.

What you're dealing with is a very powerful unconscious that has it's own reasons to keep you right where you are.

Hypnosis for weight loss can help you change those sabotaging thoughts.

Your Mind Can't Keep Up With all the Information It's Given

Your mind is hit with nearly a million bits of information a second. It can't process even a fraction of what reaches it, so it has to filter the bits and only let you be aware of what is important for you. The problem is this: those filters were probably created in the first 5 years of your life. Events happened when you were a kid, and your brain created stories about those events so that you would feel safe. Everything your brain does, it does to keep you safe.

That safety may be contrary to your conscious desires. So you behave in ways that are self-sabotaging, even though you know it's not helping you reach your goals.

We've all done it. I'll give you a personal example. I knew I wanted to write this page almost a month ago. I've sat down twice before today to do it and thought "I'll just look at this website" or "I'll just read 20 pages of my book" instead. When I sat down this morning to write it, I told myself "I'm NOT doing anything until I get that page done." And here I am.

That's a little example and not a very important one, either. This one page on my website won't make a huge difference in how my day goes today, but it is one piece of a big plan I have to further my life. My unconscious stopped me twice from writing it. When I woke up at 5:10 this morning, this page was on my mind, and I knew it was time to do it.

If you can learn how to still those sabotaging messages from your unconscious, and train it to look for solutions, your success rate in anything goes up exponentially.

Hypnosis for weight loss does just that.

What Hynotherapy Is and What It Isn't

Unlike a stage hypnotist who has people quacking like ducks on stage, clinical hypnotherapy is designed to help retrain your unconscious mind to bahave in ways that help you. With hypnosis for weight loss, the suggestions are always given in the positive (for example "drink lots of pure, clean, refreshing water" instead of "don't drink soda" or "you will enjoy eating foods high in water, like fruits and vegetables" rather than "don't eat chocolate cake." Hypnotherapy is NOT mind control, and you are completely aware of what is being said (unless you fall asleep like I do!).

How many times have you tried to lose weight?

How many pounds have you lost and gained back?

If you multiply those numbers, that's how many pounds you've lost in your lifetime. After losing that much weight, are you where you want to be?

Hypnosis for Weight Loss Can Give You Control

A drop of just 10% of your body weight can mean:

Increased energy
Lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar
Fewer aches and pains from the reduced stress on your muscles and joints
Improved mobility and breathing
Deeper, more restful sleep
Reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes
Reduced risk of coronary artery disease (plaque buildup in the heart)
Prevention of angina, the chest pain caused by decreased blood flow to the heart muscle
Decreased risk of sudden death from heart disease or stroke

If you combine hypnosis for weight loss with the eating plan of your choice, you have an unbeatable combination. Listening to your hypnosis CD (or in this case MP3) first thing in the morning or just before bed means that you aren't losing time out of your day to do it (I often listen to mine just before sleep. The deep relaxation helps me "let go" of my day and calm my brain).

If you have an idea of why you may sabotage your own weight loss efforts, than hypnosis for weight loss will help you fairly quickly. I say that because if you're aware you're doing something, then your mind knows that its behavior goes against what's good for you and is open to change. If you don't have any idea why you sabotage yourself, hypnosis will speak directly to your unconscious and help it to make the changes.
