HOW TO USE HYPNOSIS TO ACHIEVE FITNESS GOALS

By Nancy Georges C.Ht

As I mentioned in my last post the unconscious mind likes to serve. So who specifically does it serve? Why you of course? Whatever it is that you want, your unconscious mind will produce for you, no questions asked. Now the problem is that most of the things we want are actually presented to the unconscious mind in the form of something that we don't want, hence the never ending cycle of not being able to get out of a situation.

The great thing about knowing this, is that you can begin to "consciously" focus your efforts on your messages to your "unconscious" through repetitive affirmations and statements that you desire to be true about yourself, thus eventually making it easy for these things to come to pass. Another method is to practice hypnosis daily. I personally practice hypnosis morning and night. I use that time to align my unconscious mind with my conscious mind so that I am in harmony to produce the results that I want. The only trick to this is just stating what it is specifically that you DO want (state goals in the positive) and then present it to your unconscious mind for a solution to how it will go about manifesting your stated desire into reality. The other great thing about the unconscious mind, because it thinks in gestalts it can be presented with a problem and come up with a solution in full, sometimes (many times actually) without you even being consciously aware of it. For example have you ever said to someone "let me sleep on it?" that is a great way to allow your unconscious mind to align with that and see if it is the correct way to go.

Now if you are going to be practicing hypnosis on a daily basis, you need to have some sort of method to do this by, you can get a book on self hypnosis and actually make a CD for yourself and listen to your affirmations each night as you align with them. Listening to your own voice is an awesome way to get in alignment with your outcomes. Believe me, I listen to quite a few of my own sessions and I trance right out. I forget completely that it is my own voice. Another way is to go see a hypnotherapist in person and they can do sessions with you. A third way which has become very popular is to purchase MP3's and Cd's online. I have personally bought MP3's online for areas that I want to focus on and I have found it quite valuable. Now there are a few tricks to finding good hypnosis Cd's and MP3's and I will share a few with you.

First of all make sure you like the person's voice. If you came from London and there was a hypnotherapist with a British accent, it quite possibly could send you into a deep state very easily, however if you have somehow created some sort of aversion to British accents, I say you are in for a rocky session. So if the web site offers many programs, maybe buy just one to start out and make sure you like their voice and that the session is enjoyable for you. The second thing to consider is that all sessions are NOT created equal. The best bet for you is to order products from someone who specializes in the area you want to focus on as well as employs a variety of hypnosis techniques as well as other modalities. And the final piece of advice is for me to be redundant, (since the unconscious mind loves repetition) and tell you to practice daily. There are a variety of ways for you to do this presented here. As they say, practice makes perfect, this goes for your mind as well as your body. Practicing hypnosis daily will insure integration of your outcomes between both your conscious and unconscious mind.

Wishing you health and happiness,
