Hypnosis is a highly focused state of mind in which the client is open, suggestible and receptive to their own desires.
What is hypnosis for weight loss?
Together, consciously we develop a plan for healthy habits. In hypnosis the goal is to get the subconscious to accept and associate the new healthy habits with desirable feelings, replacing the old negative feelings. With repetition and reinforcement in hypnosis, the new healthy habits become automatic response. Amazingly, the subconscious cannot differentiate between fantasy and reality, so the hypnotist makes use of the creative subconscious imagination of the client to emphasize and even exaggerate desired results. Just imagine food cravings floating away or falling into the ocean where they can no longer affect you. Imagine preparing exotic and wholesome food with ease and creativity. Imagine envisioning yourself with a slimmer, more fit, more confident healthier you.
