Exploring the Hypnotic Weight Loss Journey
by Elizabeth Bohorquez

"Close your eyes and take a deep breath. When you wake up you will be your ideal weight." Can someone really lose weight and keep it off with self-hypnosis?

There are lots of questions floating around about losing weight with hypnosis. The whole idea of just having to close your eyes and having an effortless change take place meets the familiar but unrealistic desire for not taking responsibility and for immediate gratification.

Hypnosis is often misunderstood and unfortunately this misunderstanding literally robs the individual of the self-power and gifts that are waiting in the actual doing.

One must always begin at the beginning and not skip stages. Clearly, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. It is a natural mindbody state and there is nothing magical or mystical about it. It is the way the mind and body work together. As you take a look at your mind and body now in this very moment, you can see the results of what you have been doing.

Most of us spend our day in a form of hypnotic trance called auto-pilot. When working with hypnosis, our first job is to wake up from this sleep-walking and work to locate the problems. We cannot fix what is hidden or avoided.

Self-hypnosis gives us the way to wake gently and without fear, to locate the problems and all their facets. It then provides the inner tools to edit old subconscious problem-related files, and to future-pace new subconscious success-programs.

The problems are usually in the area of poor nutritional choices, emotional and compulsive eating patterns. These patterns all have different triggers and hypnosis allows one to locate and then modify or edit the triggers.

The mind and body are intricately connected. In hypnosis one is in tune with momentary body changes, the matching emo-tions and thoughts or mind pictures. The mind plays and the body responds chemically. Many chemicals are stress related and work to store fat. Others work to burn fat.

In hypnosis we learn to observe and change the body and emotional connections at subtle levels. We can turn off the fat-storing chemicals with our self-hypnotic tools. Just as like steering a car, awareness of body and mind allows for powerful physiological change in the moment.

Self-hypnotic work involves collecting subconscious data. First, it is important to explore the inner files related to weight history, lifestyle habits, addictions and the family and personal medical history. Certain genetic connections are linked to sugar and carbohydrate overloads and alter the body physiology.

Understanding the body response to genetic links gives the subconscious mind an understanding and motivation for making change. The problem is now uncovered and is on the table. The corresponding emotions, or be-haviors involved are able to come forward.. The detached emotional selves are re-educated and directed by the sub-conscious. Hypnotically they explore both the down-side and the up-side of the requested change.

Once the physiology is balanced it becomes easier to work with compulsive and emotional eating triggers. The sub-conscious library is filled to the brim with old files that hold keys to present and future success.

As we open the files hypnotically, the answers to the triggers or problems are presented as gifts. We are allowed to see in a detached way, free of the emotional ties to the problem. This is the gift of self-hypnosis.

Managing a healthy weight is lifetime work and needs a con-tinuous stream of desire, internal, as well as external motivation. We work to become self-disciplined and attach the frame of enjoyment to our daily work.

As awareness grows, we forgive ourselves for imperfections and become more self-compassionate. The doors of the subconscious mind open wide and we are provided with what we need to know at every turn.

The journey to a healthy weight is always a journey in self-discovery and so we can understand why we don't want magic and immediate gratification. Those leave us empty and without the gifts that are waiting.
