There have been myths when it comes to hypnosis and many people find it scary, but self hypnosis can be a very valuable tool for the battle to lose weight.
Here is how you begin self hypnosis weight loss and the truth.

Hypnosis is a heightened state of awareness and is a natural state of mind. We experience it with daydreaming or if you are into a movie or book and fail to hear someone speaking to us. It is a way of communicating with your unconscious mind. Be sure while in this state that you give suggestions in a positive manner like ‘I am slim, fit and healthy’ instead of ‘I’m not overweight’. It is a practical and effective technique for altering the way you look at food. The first thing you will want to do is think positive with thoughts like ‘I enjoy fruit and vegetables’ or ‘I exercise everyday’. You will want to choose five statements to use and read over several times a day.

Now you will want to find a quiet, comfortable place to sit or lie down. While you play some relaxing music you will need to relax your body. Close your eyes and imagine waves of relaxation running down your body from your scalp downwards, washing out stress. Let the waves run in time with your breathing, first washing down over your head, then your neck, then your torso, then arms, and finally your legs. Feel the muscles in your body relaxing as the waves of relaxation wash over them. Or start with relaxing the muscles around your eyes then your jaws downward throughout your body. In your mind, keep saying ‘Relax, soften, loosen’.

Use suggestion to deepen your relaxation. Tell yourself something like ‘ I am feeling relaxed and comfortable’. Counting backwards from 20 helps some people as well. You will not feel hypnotized, instead you will feel deeply related. Once you are completely relaxed, start visualizing how you want to look like size and weight. Mix the visualizations with the relaxation suggestions. Make sure you see yourself in your imagination, you are in your own body.
When you are ready say to yourself, “on the count of five, I will open my eyes”. Count backwards slowly. For best results you will want to repeat this every day and remember that perseverance is key to the success of hypnosis.
