Weight Management & Hypnosis by Janet Lynas

“Now that you are in a relaxed state of hypnosis I’m going to tell you a story. There was a little girl who asked her mother for a cookie. Since it was close to dinner time, her mother told her that she could have one cookie. The little girl took one of the cookies. She looked at the top of the cookie, at the bottom of the cookie, at the sides of the cookie before she took a bite out of the cookie. The little girl enjoyed each bite of the cookie….”

Does hypnosis really help with weight loss? Only if you want to lose the weight. Many people go to a hypnotherapist expecting to have results after one hypnosis session. When they don’t see lasting results or any results, they say “hypnosis didn’t work for me.”

For hypnosis to be of benefit for you, you have to decide:

That you want to lose the weight.
That you will commit to the hypnosis protocol.
That you will complete the course of treatment with hypnosis. It takes between 3 to 5 sessions for the subconscious mind to incorporate the message for weight loss or any hypnosis treatment.

Hypnosis is a powerful tool to help you take control over the issue of weight control. Hypnosis is safe and effective when one is committed to weight loss. So, are you ready to take control of your life? Are you ready to regain your health? You have the tool to help you regain your health. Are you going to use it?

Body Talk

A doctor friend of mine recommended a book to me quite a while back. The book is “Cell Talk” ‘Talking to Your Cell(f)’ by John E Upledger, D.O., O.M.M.

Dr. Upledger uses hypnosis in his practice as an osteopathic physician and surgeon. Dr. Upledger tells a story about his decision to become a general practitioner because he did not want the restrictions of being an internal medicine practitioner. Dr. Upledger wanted the freedom to take care of his patients from start to finish in all areas of care. Dr. Upledger founded a holistic healthcare center for Unity Churches. He developed and taught post-graduate classes in CranioSacral Therapy and Osteopathic Manipulation to medical, osteopathic and veterinary students. I’m giving you this background so you will understand the next statements he made.

There is an intelligence, be it God, Nature or whatever suits you, that has designed the ingeniously arranged bodies that we live in. As a model, allow me to say that these bodies are wondrous puzzles.
When conventional medicine is confronted by a problem of bodily dysfunction, the approach is usually to reshape the pieces of the puzzle until it fits according to conventional medical wisdom.
CranoSacral Therapy (and its offshoots), as well as several other “alternatives” of complementary healthcare approaches, look at the body quite differently from conventional Western medicine. Rather than invasively modifying the pieces of the puzzle and trying to make them fit according to the concepts of the physician or therapist, the puzzle pieces are studied with an attitude that honors the intelligence and intent of the “Grand Designer”. pgs. 7-8

In hypnosis, I use this technique of working with the body and mind. When working with clients on pain management, I ask the client to give their pain a color. I then start to talk with the client using techniques to fade the color away until it’s gone. I have the client talk with their body part that is experiencing pain. In other words, we listen to what the body has to say.

I personally know a man who used self hypnosis after he had a wreck on his bicycle to manage the pain of a compound fracture until the ambulance could reach him. Of course, he used hypnosis for pain management through out his recovery.

The mind/body connection is powerful. I know that hypnosis is used in surgery instead of drugs by one practitioner. I plan to hear him speak later this year and learn his techniques.

It amazes me each time I work with a client using hypnosis, to see how the mind and body come together for resolution on an issue.

It usually takes 3 to 5 hypnosis sessions for the client to see lasting results. I teach my clients self hypnosis in each session, so they will have the tools they need for success.

Hypnotherapy

When people think of hypnosis, they think about people being on stage clucking like a chicken or barking like a dog. While stage hypnosis may be fun to watch, there is a very serious and practical side to hypnosis.

Unlike what Hollywood would like for you to believe, when one is hypnotized you can not be made to do something that you would not normally do. No, you can not be hypnotized and given a suggestion to kill someone, not unless that is your profession as a “hit person” and I sincerely hope that if it is, you do not come to me for hypnosis. You can not be enticed to tell a deep, dark secret when induced, not unless you want to tell the secret. You can not be given a suggestion under hypnosis that would go against your nature, religious beliefs or moral standards. And speaking of religion, hypnosis is endorsed by many religious leaders. I know of one religious leader who is also a professional hypnotist.

Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnotic techniques intended to move a client toward health and wholeness. Hypnosis is also used to help you reach goals when nothing else has helped.

Is hypnosis safe? Yes, hypnosis is safe. It is very similar to a daydream. Usually you will feel very relaxed when doing hypnosis. Scientists, medical professionals, psychologist, psychiatrist and hypnotherapist have been using hypnosis for over 200 years and no one has ever been harmed by simply going into hypnosis.

My therapeutic hypnosis training was intense, it was 10 hours a day for two weeks. I had 100 hours of practice under my belt when I receive my certification. I received advanced training in regression hypnosis a couple of years later. These classes were 12 hours a day for a week, so, I had 60 hours of practice when I received certification for regression therapy. I plan to receive advanced training in medical hypnosis later this year. So, in future posts, I will talk about the long list of areas where hypnosis can help. I will tell you about my experience with children and hypnosis.

By the way, do you know how the stage hypnotist picks who comes on stage? It’s the person in the audience waving their arms saying, “Pick me, pick me!”

Mind/Body Connection

Welcome to my blog on Mind/Body Connection. I have been a health care provider for eons and I have seen many changes in the medical field. Some changes are for the better, while others are not.

As a health care provider, I began to look for alternatives to wellness when conventional medicine seemed to miss the mark. Through the years my education evolved. I started out my career as a LPN, then received an Associate in Science in Nursing or RN, the RN evolved into a B.S.N., and before I knew it I was earning a Master’s in Health Care Administration while simultaneously earning a Ph.D. in Natural Health. Along the way I received certification in Therapeutic Hypnosis and advanced training in Regression Hypnosis. So, what did I learn from all these degrees and training? That I didn’t know much and that one must continue learning and moving forward or you become stagnant.

In this blog, there are sections on hypnosis, Natural Health and nutrition. So, you can take a look at the section you are interested in or hopefully all categories. I hope you find some interesting tools to use in your life, mostly I hope you have some fun with this blog.

So, let’s get started! What is hypnosis and what can it do for me?

Hypnosis is the state of heightened suggestibility. You will experience a state of focused consciousness. You will be able to do this with the help of your hypnotherapist. Your hypnotherapist will assist you in learning how to achieve this state by guiding you into it by using hypnotic induction.

Do you think you are unconscious during hypnosis?
