Could Your Diet Plan Do With a Boost? Try Hypnosis! – Ajit Patel UK
If you’ve ever tried to lose weight, you’ll know that half the battle
is in your mind. This is where
hypnosis weight loss
programmes come in. When you’re under hypnosis
— a state of inner absorption and
concentration — you are highly focused and more responsive to ideas
about behavioural changes that might benefit your wellbeing,
such as your eating habits. But what makes the hypnosis weight
loss diet different from any other diet?
According
to Nancy B. Irwin, PsyD, CHt, a speaker and author who uses hypnosis
to help people become aware of why they overeat, ‘My premise is that there is positive
intent behind every bit of human
behaviour. No one ever does anything to deliberately be bad or wrong,
or even evil…similarly, no one chooses to be obese.’ Clinical experience
has taught Irwin that the positive intent behind overeating comes
down to numbing
emotional pain, thwarting unwanted sexual
advances or to literally stand out/be seen.
A University
of Connecticut study, published in the Journal
of Consulting and Clinical Psychology,
found that hypnosis weight loss programmes can provide a healthy way to address
these needs without damaging your wellness. When
participants took part in cognitive-behavioural
treatments for weight
loss reduction, they lost an average of 6lbs. However, when others added hypnosis to this treatment,
the average weight loss
was 12lbs. Irwin explained that hypnotherapists
can reprogramme dieters to follow proper nutritional
habits so they are able to commit to an ‘appropriate exercise
regime, and most importantly to manage their thoughts, which are self-hypnotic
suggestions 24/7.’
Bob Choat, fitness
trainer and author of Mind Your Own Fitness,
added that hypnosis can offer support to healthy
eating and an exercise plan — but it’s not a magic
pill. ‘What I’ve discovered regarding weight
loss is that simply using hypnosis alone is not enough,’ he said. ‘Immediate
action after a hypnosis
session is important. Also, special suggestions, such as eating healthy
veggies or increasing walking, is part of the solution.’
You can try hypnosis
at home using books, videos, or audio recordings and your own voice
to form a close connection between your body
and mind for a specific reason. Make sure you find a quiet, distraction-free
place for five to 30 minutes, making sure you’re as relaxed as possible. Breathe
in and out deeply to release any negative energy in your body
and mind, and imagine overcoming your weight
loss goal. Repeat the statement to reaffirm your confidence in accomplishing
your goal,
and slowly locate your body
and mind back to reality and open your eyes.
