Hypnosis
Tired of carrying around an extra twenty pounds? Tired of diets that don't work?

Hypnosis may be the answer for you - no, it doesn't work miracles. It's not a magic bullet that immediately males you love exercise. What it is - is a deep state of relaxation and intense mental focus that can help you reprogram old attitudes and beliefs about eating and maintaining a healthy weight.

"While you're in a state of hypnosis, your subconscious mind is more available to you, more open to receive suggestions that will become a natural, part of new behaviors" explains Bunnie Kelly of Hypnosis Works.

"Suggestions to your subconscious mind bypass the critical mind, which you use day-to-day and go straight to the part of the mind that controls habits" she added "These allow you to go through with any changes you have decided to make in your life."

Some of the messages seem pretty simple - and they are. It's just where they reside that makes the difference. Suggestions such as "you eat only in response to your body's natural need for food as fuel" or "you feel completely satisfied with. Three small nutritious meals a day" or "your enjoyment of a regular exercise program grows with each time you visit the gym." Repetition of these suggestions can boost your determination and enhance your conscious willpower.

But, and it is a big but. Hypnosis alone is not enough. It takes a combination of behavioral modification and understanding to achieve a permanent healthy eating pattern. A well trained hypnotist addresses all the issues - because once you realize why you are eating when you are not hungry, you can begin to change that behavior.

While it's not magic, hypnosis, when used as part of an overall program of behavioral modification and attitude adjustment, can be that extra dimension your weight loss program needs for long-term success. And a good hypnotist teaches the client self-hypnosis as a part of the treatment program. In the battle of the bulge, it can just be the tool that makes the difference between success and failure.

"More and more people are using hypnosis and self hypnosis to enable themselves to be the best they can be," explains Ms. Kelly "Once you've learned self-hypnosis, it can stay with you for the rest of your life and help you achieve any goal you set your mind to."

Stress Management - You can increase effectiveness and avoid burnout. The human brain receives messages from several sources, each dealing with separate types of information. Input dealing with everyday matters such as news, music, jobs, relationships, weather, etc., comes from the external environment. Our own bodies provide data concerning movement, digestion, tension, pain, etc., all in the form of messages sent to the brain. Nevertheless, when the conscious mind can no longer handle the message units overloading the brain, the subconscious prepares us for fight or flight - the heart pumps harder, blood pressure rises, super-strength can be generated. But sometimes there is nothing to fight. We can't fight the environment. We can't fight a job, an accident, a bad decision. What now? You Can Lose Weight - No diets, no changing foods, no will power. Where undesirable weight is due to overeating, metabolism is likely much less involved than the mind. Changing thoughts and attitudes of the mind can lead to major changes in life. It can be very helpful, therefore, to determine what may be the causes of a tendency to overeat. Overeating usually fills a need - or at least is viewed as doing so. The possible needs, real or imaginary, are many. Some people overeat to compensate for an unpleasant experience. Others eat excessively to reward themselves, or possibly for entertainment. Some want to be noticed, and may use a large body to offset a small ego. Eating is used to compensate for the lack of love, to offset fear, to overcome frustration, to deal with boredom, or sometimes even to avoid sex.
