Local Hypnotists

By Alan Densky

 With bitter, winter days ahead for many of us, the thought of braving the weather to get to the gym or go for a jog doesn’t sound very attractive. Keeping the motivation to stick to your weight loss goals when everyone else wants to hibernate is simple with self hypnosis for weight loss.

A lot of people who are trying to lose weight agree that motivation is especially challenging when the weather changes, so what if you could stay dedicated to your exercise plan and diet just by viewing a hypnotherapy weight loss DVD or listening to a CD? Better yet, a hypnotherapy weight loss program can diminish your cravings too.

Hypnotherapy for weight loss works simply, but effectively, by guiding you to a deeply relaxed state during which your unconscious can more effortlessly receive suggestions, such as the ones that will keep you motivated to stick to your fitness track, even in the midst of winter.

It is a fact that if a person exercises, it will speed up their metabolism and increase the rate that weight is dropped. Some of the most successful hypnotherapy for exercise motivation techniques comes from Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP. With NLP, the unconscious mind is programmed to use the same thought processes that are producing a problem, to get rid of it. Said another way, the same thought processes that the unconscious mind utilizes to create cravings and oral compulsions could help to completely stop them! And similarly, the same processes can be used to increase your motivation to exercise.

Anchoring is an NLP practice that can be practiced to give you a “switch” for sparking behaviors and feelings. Creating a hypnosis appetite suppression anchor works simply and effectively like this: A qualified hypnotherapy weight loss practitioner will safely direct you into a tranquil hypnotic state. Then the hypnotherapist will ask you to recall a time when you were happy and excited about anything in your life.

The goal of this exercise is to remember and re-experience as many sensations as you possibly can from numerous times in your life when you felt eager and motivated to do anything you wanted to. Then, the weight loss hypnosis therapist will ask you to anchor those feelings by simply touching two fingers together.

Next, you will be asked to visualize yourself exercising and enjoying it. As you make this mental image, you’ll trigger your anchor by touching those two fingers together again. When you do that, your unconscious will connect the feeling of excitement and eagerness from the other memory to the thought of exercising.

From this point on, whenever you wish to feel motivated to exercise, you can simply trigger your anchor and re-experience those same affirmative feelings that will motivate you to workout. NLP and weight loss hypnosis can even be used to discourage behaviors, so you can easily beat cravings. That sounds much easier and encouraging than beating yourself up for missing a workout or giving into temptation, doesn’t it?

A successful weight loss hypnosis program will also address the root cause of weight gain for many of us, namely a lack of self-esteem. In a relaxed state, you can accept post-hypnotic suggestions that will develop your self-esteem as you lose more weight. The lack of self-esteem is a big factor in being overweight.

Many people wonder if, after attempting every new diet and buying every exercise implement on the market, something as straight forward as weight loss hypnosis can work for them. The good news is that it has been found that all normal people are hypnotizable to a greater or lesser extent. However, it should be noted that people who have less than a 70 I.Q. or those who are in an active state of psychosis or with senility generally are not hypnotizable.

But for the rest of us, self hypnosis for weight loss can actually make us look forward to exercising and eating healthily. That said, the major proponent for victory in any fitness routine, whether it embraces weight loss hypnosis or not, is wanting to achieve your weight loss goals.

On a related note, that is exactly why you can’t force someone to undergo weight loss self hypnosis just by giving them suggestions. If someone is against an idea, no amount of weight loss hypnosis they hear or see will take hold. In reference to the NLP explanation above, if someone does not have a memory of feeling positive or motivated, they can still be successful with NLP and hypnotherapy because they can envision what it would feel like if they did feel that way, and anchor the imagined feelings.

So, if you are like many of us and find your enthusiasm diminishing as the temperatures drop and the days get darker, weight loss hypnosis can assist you to regain (or maintain) your interest for carrying out and finally hitting your fitness aspirations.

Quit Smoking NLP CDs - They Can Work Well
By Alan Densky

 The average person tries to quit smoking between four to six times before they beat the addiction. If you have tried gum, patches, prescriptions or willpower alone without success, make your final attempt successful with stop smoking hypnosis.

Of all of the ways to quit smoking, hypnosis is literally the most trouble-free and has the most successful track record. If you are willing to consistently watch and listen to DVDs and CDs specifically created to curb your cravings to smoke, then quit smoking hypnosis will work for you.

Many smokers think that they are unable to quit smoking because of their nicotine addiction, but that simply is not true. Medical experts agree that after seven to ten days - even as soon as three days - all nicotine has been eliminated from the body, which leaves smokers to focus on the more difficult and far reaching psychological and emotional addiction to smoking cigarettes.

There are countless ways to quit smoking, but just one method can address both the cravings and the emotional compulsion: quit smoking hypnosis. Many people who want to quit still end up asking themselves, “Why can’t I simply stop smoking?”

The answer is clear to hypnotherapists. The part of you that won’t let you quit smoking is your unconscious. You can’t change your unconscious mind by force of will or with a prescription, patch or gum. You need the right kind of help.

To quit smoking, support is imperative, but many people do not understand that the best support comes from within their own unconscious. Hypnosis is the most effective technique to ensure that your entire psyche is working to help you stop smoking. That’s because hypnosis provides a persuasive method of communicating with your unconscious mind.

Quit smoking hypnosis helps you get rid of the urge to smoke by removing the impulse to light up. When the urge and compulsion to smoke are removed, quitting becomes painless choice that you can make without difficulty. The best stop smoking hypnosis programs are successful because they address the most powerful elements of the smoking addiction.

The first part of an effective stop smoking hypnosis program addresses the craving to smoke for pleasure and relaxation. This precedent was actually established when you were a baby. Likely, when you were cranky, your parents put a bottle in your mouth. Then your attention got diverted; you relaxed and likely went to sleep. Smokers get the same calming effect from a cigarette.

With quit smoking hypnosis, the unconscious is reprogrammed to receive pleasure and relaxation by automatically replacing stress-inducing thoughts with calming thoughts instead, all via the use of the very same triggers that previously made you anxious. This makes the tension almost magically disappear. In addition, the very essence of hypnosis is relaxation. So by listening to a soothing hypnotherapy CD daily, stress levels will quickly fade.

The second part of an effective stop smoking hypnosis program will help you tackle the habituation, or the “Habit.” Habituation occurs when the unconscious forms an association between smoking and other behaviors, such as driving or watching television. Perhaps the second that you turn on the TV you are fighting with a craving to smoke.

An effective stop smoking hypnosis CD or DVD will reprogram your unconscious associations so that driving, for example, actually makes you want to REJECT smoking! This is known as, no pun intended, extinguishing a conditioned response.

Here is a news flash! The physical nicotine addiction is only about ten percent of the addiction. Ninety percent of the addiction to cigarettes is comprised of the emotional and mental components that we’ve discussed so far. And as stated earlier in this article, medical professionals maintain that the body is clear of nicotine in as little as three days.

People who use Neuro-Linguistic Programming and quit smoking hypnosis CDs and DVDs recognize that when their smoking associations and reliance on cigarettes to unwind have undergone reprogramming, the physical addiction is in fact such a diminutive part of their smoking habit, that it has no effect on their capability to quit smoking without suffering from withdrawal.

Now, I must tell you that despite the unparalleled success that clients have had with stop smoking hypnosis and NLP CDs and DVDs, you must hold the desire to quit smoking prior to undertaking a program. And as well as the desire to stop smoking, you must make an honest decision to quit. That means that you must be ready and willing to throw your cigarettes away.

Hypnosis CDs and DVDs cannot be used to force you to do something you don’t desire to do, so no program can coerce you to stop smoking. But if you have the desire to quit smoking, and you make a decision to quit smoking, hypnosis will help you to remain relaxed and not experience tension, cravings, or withdrawal symptoms. Let hypnosis and NLP give you the support you need.

Help Your Blood Pressure By Forgiving
By Keith Watson

 I am currently on medication for high blood pressure which is an inherited trait and I have a particular aim - which is to lower my BP naturally to the point where I can rid myself of the pills. I certainly won’t be irresponsible about this as I am very aware - given past career as a nurse - of the dangers of hypertension.

One of my interests in hypnosis is to see how much this can help me and so far my almost miraculous conversion to long term exercise and losing weight through that method has been successful. That is perhaps the most important step forward but I also find myself looking at other behaviours in myself that can if overcome also contribute towards a reduction in my blood pressure naturally.

So it was with some interest that I came across this paragraph in an article recently: Men’s grudge-bearing may not just be antisocial, according to other previous research it might harm their hearts. For example a study by Hope College Michigan, asked 71 people to think about someone who had hurt them and found that their blood pressure surged and heart rates increased. Their muscles also tensed and they perspired more. When they were asked to imagine forgiving their transgressors, their cardiovascular stress levels dropped.

That paragraph was from an article about the differences between males and females with regards to bearing a grudge

There it is again - just the mental process of thinking and imagining has such a profound on us physically. No wonder this hypnosis stuff works.

A report in The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology reveals that American researchers have found that men are significantly less forgiving than women. The scientists report that the only way to get a man to drop his long-term grudge-holding ways is to encourage him to develop some semblance of feminine-style empathy.

The lead researcher, Julie Juola Exline, of Case Western Reserve University, Ohio, found that men’s capacity to forgive can rise markedly if they are encouraged to feel empathy towards the people who have offended them.

Exline suggests that women have been taught from an early age to be more sypmathetic and to lean towards relationship-building, rather than focusing on the “I’m gonna get even” that men obsess about.

Maybe we have to reassess that saying “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”.

So my adversaries can come out of the closet today - I will be in a very forgiving state of mind. How long will that last - ah that is where hypnosis will come in.

Will it help my blood pressure - well it may not make a major impact as I am not that vengeful on the whole, but as they say - every little helps.
