Everyone knows that regular exercise and the right diet can help you lose weight, but there are times that both these methods may not be enough to help you reach your goal. Also, exercising regularly and eating the right food seem like impossible goals for most people. As such, they end up doing nothing at all to address their health needs.

There is, however, a new method that you can try to help you lose weight, and this is nothing but hypnosis. Although hypnosis is generally known as a method to influence people into overcoming traumatic or tragic events, revealing the truth, and relieving one self from stress, hypnosis can also be used to help people lose weight.

There are several ways for you to lose weight with the help of hypnosis, and one of such ways is by listening to hypnosis recordings. These recordings are created by professional hypnosis practitioners and contain carefully chosen statements that are designed to help listeners attain their goals in this case, losing weight.

Using the Services of a Hypnotherapist for Weight Loss

If you do not think that merely listening to hypnosis recordings is sufficient to help you lose weight, you can opt to hire a hypnotherapist and have a one-on-one session.

Make sure that your hypnotherapist has the required education, skills, and experience for the job since hypnotherapists have varying fields of expertise. Hypnotherapists are also paid by the hour so the total cost for this option depends how long it will take you to hypnotize yourself into losing weight successfully.

Using Self-Hypnosis for Weight Loss

People choose to exercise self-hypnosis for weight loss either because they are working with a tight budget or consulting with a hypnosis professional is too big a step to take for them.

Although using self hypnosis to weight loss is a longer and more difficult process than the others, it can still be as effective as working with a professional or using a recording if you have the required skills and attitudes for the job.

Other Advantages of Using Hypnosis for Weight Loss

Seeing the New You – Hypnosis require you to make use of guided imagery, and this consequently allows you a glimpse of a more beautiful future and the more beautiful you as well.

Absence of Pressure – Hypnosis also eliminates factors such as stress and anxiety from your weight loss program. These things can often make it more difficult than easier for you to lose weight. Hypnosis however will help you gain a calm manner and be able to maintain it while you focus all your attention and efforts in shedding off those extra pounds!

The Power of Positive Thinking – With the absence of pressure, the power of positive thinking can finally enter your mind, body, and soul. You can now fully concentrate on the more positive aspects of your goals and effectively make use of affirmations as well. Instead of futilely worrying about the time you are spending losing weight, you can simply focus on happy images of being able to lose weight and seeing those dreams gradually turn into reality.

Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is a method that anyone can use as long as you willing to be patient and work hard for it. Moreover, hypnosis will not cost you a dime if you are willing to work by yourself. As such, there is everything to gain and nothing to lose if you try hypnosis for weight loss so else what are you waiting for?

Migraines and Headaches- Pain Relief Through Self- Hypnosis

November 17, 2009 by Cure Anxiety · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Panic Relief 

Stress is one the main culprits behind those excruciating migraine pains. We’ve all read or heard that we should avoid stress or take up stress-busting activities to get rid of migraines, but we are also aware of how stealthy stress is, how it manages to creep into our minds, whenever we let our guard down! So, how does one deal with pain, after stress has already completed its dirty job. Popping pain killers is one way, but pain relieving pills come packed with side effects. Therefore a better remedy would be something that is simple, natural, non-invasive and side-effect free, something like self-hypnosis.

How does self hypnosis relieve pain?

Self-hypnosis is a therapy which involves communicating with your subconscious and releasing the deeply stored pain causing negative emotions. The subconscious mind understands the language of visuals and self-hypnosis works by talking in the language of the subconscious.

The following self-hypnosis exercise can help alleviate migraine related pain:

· Sit or lie down in a comfortable position

· Close your eyes

· Take a few deep breaths

· Now focus on your breathing

· Concentrate on every in-breath and out-breath

· After a while you’ll start feeling calmer and lighter

· Now imagine a beam of white light entering your body from the top of your head

· Let this travel to every part of your body

· Feel it cleansing your body of all stored pain and anxiety

· Now Imagine that the white light is leaving your body from the soles of your feet, taking away all your stress and anxiety with it

· By now you will be in an extremely relaxed state

· Now focus on the part of your head which is aching

· Visualize this pain as a big red ball

· Start deep breathing

· Imagine that the ball is shrinking as you exhale

· Feel your pain diminishing with the ball’s size

· Continue with this exercise till the ball disappears

· Along with the ball, your pain will also either vanish or will become far more bearable

Sometimes when one is pain it may be difficult to focus on getting better or visualization, therefore it’s a good idea to record your voice on a tape, read out the steps listed above as instructions and make sure you give an adequate time spacing of at least 2-3 minutes between each step.

The first few times this self-hypnosis exercise may not be able to make your pain disappear completely, but you will start getting better results with practice.

4 Simple Yet Effective Stress and Anxiety Relief Ways To Get Rid Of Emotional Attachment

July 21, 2009 by Cure Anxiety · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Other Anxiety Related Articles 

Stress, depression and anxiety are part of our life. Virtually no one in this world can avoid themselves from these events. But being stressed out or getting into an anxiety disorder will only occur to those who lack control over their emotional response.

People often have the perception that they have no control about what their minds are doing. Through the events that happened around them, peoples’ emotions are easily involved and they develop a flaw mode of thinking as time goes on.

Stress, depression and anxiety are not just mental hazards; they are physical too. That is why most of us experience feeling lightheaded, short of breath and many other symptoms which may lead sufferers further down the road to mental disorders.

By properly managing one’s skills or changing the way of thinking, anyone can change himself to be the master of his emotions rather than the slave.

Below are 4 powerful tips to help you get rid of any emotional attachment to any event.

o Self-Hypnosis at Pre-bedtime

Self hypnosis is a powerful tool which is able to change your thoughts and the way your body reacts to your thinking. In major situations, people who are suffering under stress have the problem getting a good sleep or worse, they may suffer from insomnia.

Pre-bedtime hypnosis is useful to calm your mind down before sleep and help to attain a sound and deep sleep. All you need to do is to lie down in a comfortable position and spend two to five minutes, reflecting to yourself:

“I have been tired the whole day long.”

“Now it is time to rest. I am not going to think about other things.”

“I am going to get a good night’s sleep.”

“Tomorrow will be another good and productive day.”

“I am resting safely and comfortably now.”

Doing this might not be effective to some people because everyone is different and unique. It depends on each individual case. It is important to understand what causes you to be stressed and find out the magic word that will soothe your mind.

Remember the basic skill to make this work is to concentrate!

o Self-hypnosis at post-bedtime

How we feel in the morning determines the rest of the day. When we wake up feeling stressed or depressed, then the rest of the day will not be better than what we imagine.

In reality, some people may find morning time rather depressing because they might think that it is another stressful day for them to work, having to deal with unexpected events or face difficult problems.

Morning hypnosis is another useful spell. Unlike a fairy tale, it only serves as a spirit booster and helps you to change your thinking for the entire day. Say to yourself:

“Yesterday is over, now is the beginning of my new day.”

“I am the main character of my life; I decide what I want for the day.”

“Okay good, I am full of energy now. I am going to perform my best today.”

“Okay, by end of today I will achieve something I want!”

Close your eyes and isolate yourself from any disturbance. Make this process not longer than 5 minutes.

Same as pre-bedtime hypnosis, concentration is the key to send the magic word deep down into your subconscious mind and let it work for you.

Do not ever be skeptic about your ability to do your own self-hypnosis. Even a professional hypnotist will not be successful in hypnotizing you if you do not believe in him.

o Self-talk

When you are caught up in a distressful situation, self-talk is a great way for you to bring back your direction.

“Okay, I am cool. I am cool.”

“Something bad is happening to me, I know I should handle this consciously.”

“It will be alright. Losing this will not cost me my life. It is not the end of my world.”

By doing this, obviously you are the master of your mind, taking control of the situation and being able to decide what will be your next move. However, most people will have these thoughts running through their heads:

“Why is this happening to me?”

“I am not going to live without this.”

“I do not want this to happen to me, etc.”

You will realize that by suppressing or avoiding these feelings, it will just worsen the situation, and these negative thoughts will linger in your mind.

o Breathing skill

Last but not least, learning a breathing skill is highly recommended when you are having stress, depression or other emotional situations.

Frankly, I myself was an anxious guy. I had experienced shortness of breath, extremities tingling and nausea during an anxiety attack. At first, I thought I was going to die.

That attack brought me to a specialist and he explained what was actually going on with my body and the entire episode was caused by flawed mode of thinking. He later taught me the proper way of breathing should I experience another anxiety attack.

I doubted his answer and solution given to me. Until my next attack, I have no other choices but to learn the breathing skill taught by the specialist. Incredibly, I shook off the symptoms in just a minute and immediately, my body got back to normal.

Then, I found out that when someone is highly distressed or severely anxious, the breathing pattern will change as a physical reflex. Shallow chest breathing can cause your heart to beat faster and your muscles to tense up, hence exacerbate any distressful event.

To deal with this situation, breathing from your diaphragm will oxygenate your blood, which help you to relax almost in a split second. The actual way of doing it is:

oPut your hand on your abdomen just below the navel. oInhale slowly through your nose and watch your hand move out as your belly expands. oHold the breath for a few seconds, and then exhale slowly as your belly sinks in. oRepeat several times.

Try one of these 4 tips, and you will see positive results to help you get rid of emotional attachments.
