Welcome to my first post on Hypnosis 101 – The Basics.
Hypnosis is intriguing to everyone. Many people would like to take advantage of its power to transform themselves into a happier, healthier person. But because of the many misconceptions about hypnosis, many shy away from taking advantage of this wonderful modality.Hypnosis was accepted by the AMA in 1958 as an effective method for treating stress, and stress related symptoms. But does it really work, and what should a person look for when seeking a therapist, or purchasing hypnosis tapes & CDs?By reading this series of posts, you will learn exactly what hypnosis is, and what it is not. If you intend to use hypnosis to help you overcome tension, lose weight, quit smoking, or eliminate a bad habit, you will also learn what you can expect, and that you have nothing to fear. Later on in the course I’ll even teach you a simple hypnotic induction that you can use on yourself, or a friend!So since this is Basic Hypnosis 101, lets start at the very beginning. When you went to school, you were taught lessons in a progressive manner. Each new lesson was based on your having mastered the previous lesson.
Similarly, with this series of posts, I’ll present my information to you in small, bite-sized chunks so that it is easy to digest. I’ll create a new post every Saturday. After you have finished this mini-course in Basic Hypnosis 101, you will know everything that you need to know so that you can make an educated decision as to whether or not hypnosis is for you.
Don’t worry, there won’t be a test on what you’ve learned, so you can relax and just have fun with this.
If you have any questions at all either during the course, or after it is finished, please feel free to send me your questions by email. Or call me at 800-617-2004 and I will be happy to chat with you and answer your questions.
THE DEFINITION OF HYPNOSIS
Hypnosis is a state of hyper-suggestibility where the conscious and subconscious (unconscious) minds dissociate. It is a state of mind where the subject is more likely to accept the operator’s suggestions.You have been in hypnosis many times without even realizing it. If you have ever watched a sad T.V. show and reacted with a tear in your eye, you have been hypnotized by the television. You entered a state of increased suggestibility where you uncritically accepted the suggestion of sadness on the TV screen and reacted with a sad emotion, your tear. In other words your reasoning ability, which is contained in your conscious mind, was bypassed. You did not reason that the show was just a play; you accepted the action as being real. So you reacted with real emotion.
WHO CAN BE HYPNOTIZED?
It has been found that all normal people are hypnotizable to a greater or lesser extent. People with less than a 70 I.Q., those of the moron level or lower, generally are not hypnotizable. People who are in an active state of psychosis generally are not
hypnotizable. Most senile people are difficult or impossible to hypnotize. I have found in my own private practice dealing with a large number of retired people as old as 85 years of age, that hypnosis is a potent and beneficial method for most people. The person’s motivation is the key to success.That’s it for Chapter 1. In the next post we’ll discuss whether you need to be a “deep” hypnotic subject to gain benefits, the dangers of hypnosis, and some of the misconceptions about hypnosis.
Many people have asked me what the most popular uses of hypnosis for self-improvement are. I would say that the most popular use is for appetite control in order to facilitate a weight loss.
And the second most popular use is to help you quit smoking. For more information, visit my website and
Neuro-VISION® offers two different, but complimentary programs to help you lose weight, so you can look good, and feel great. Lose Weight In A Flash! is my Video Hypnosis Technology. It was awarded a US Patent because of its uniqueness and effectiveness. And Vaporize Your Appetite! is my audio Ericksonian Hypnosis & NLP program.
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT: Lay back, close your eyes and listen carefully. For the first minute or allow yourself to become aware of every single external sound that you can hear. Then shift to listening to your breathing. After you have been
listening to your breathing for a minute or two, see how many other sounds you can hear within your body: heart beat, etc.Take about ten minutes to do this little exercise once or twice per day and you will be amazed how much more relaxed you feel.
Hypnosis 101 – The Basics Chapter 1
Weight Loss Through Self-Hypnosis – Chapter 8
In my last post in this series, we talked about the eating habits that you need to establish in order to permanently lose your weight. In this final installment of the series, we’ll discuss chronic overeating, and what can be done about it.
Appetite Defined: Eating and drinking for relaxation and pleasure.
Hunger Defined: The body’s call for nourishment.
If you are grossly overweight, and you’ve failed at every attempt you’ve ever made to lose weight, you may be a chronic over-eater. Make no mistake; if you are grossly oerweight, besides getting relaxation and pleasure from food, you may be getting other “secondary gains.” A secondary gain is when you receive a positive benefit from a symptom or behavior.
Example: As a young child, a person has a happy family that loves to get together and eat. It is the one time during the day that mom, dad, and all the kids are together enjoying themselves and each other.
These “facts” are input to the unconscious mind through the eyes and ears and are placed deep within an unconscious memory. The child never adds these facts up at the conscious evel of awareness, but unconsciously they make a deep impression. “When one eats, the family sticks happily together.”
Now as a married adult, the family is not as closely knit as one would like. Or, the marriage is “on the rocks.” Well, doesn’t the unconscious have a program that says: Eating keeps the family stuck happily together? So one eats and eats and eats trying to keep the family together!
Being overweight can protect you emotionally. How? Well there are as many ways as there are overweight people. But here is one classic example:
If you have your heart broken, you can be unconsciously motivated to make yourself fat to keep you out of new relationships. Because this will eliminate the possibility of having your heart broken again. Remember this is only one simple example. There are thousands of different possibilities here.
Both the Neuro-VISION Video Hypnosis Program, “Lose Weight In A Flash!” and “Vaporize Your Appetite!” will help you to deal with eating for relaxation & pleasure, and eating because of conditioned responses. They will also help you to build a mountain of motivation to do all of the things that you need to do to lose weight.
BY ORDERING THESE PROGRAMS YOU CAN EXPECT TO:
-
- Look and feel better than ever
- Feel tremendous self-esteem
- Feel total confidence
- Feel happy
But if you are also overweight, because being fat provides emotional protection, what can you do? Well, up until recently, if you were overweight because being fat provides emotional protection, you had to seek the expensive services of a very experienced hypnotherapist, or Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner. That’s because there was no standard recorded program that could possibly deal with this type of issue, since the issue is totally unique to each person’s situation.
Reframing is an NLP technique. It is used to reprogram the unconscious to make you automatically substitute other more acceptable behaviors, in place of being overweight. Reframing allows you to receive the same secondary gains that you receive by being overweight, but by substituting more consciously acceptable behaviors. And that will eliminate your compulsion to overeat and to be overweight.
Now, however, I’ve created an interactive CD that can help compulsive emotional eaters. The name of my breakthrough program is, “Reframe Compulsive Overeating!“, what else? And like all of my programs, you can try it out for a full three months. If you aren’t completely happy with your results, I’ll buy my programs back from you, no questions asked.
