Some wonder if it is safe to use self hypnosis to lose weight. They may be afraid that they will lose control of their free will. Others are afraid they will do things they might not otherwise do which is something they learned from a stage show or watching a movie.
At a stage show, you might see someone talk like an alien or forget something simple like how to count to ten. It seems like they have lost their free will, not to mention their minds.
One of my favorite movies features hypnosis prominently. Whenever the villain says a certain word, the main character drops whatever he is doing, gets a vacant, zombie look in his eyes and commits a crime against his will without remembering it.
All of these things create the image in our mind of hypnosis as some kind of mysterious or weird type of mind control. That couldn't be further from the truth.
The participants in a stage show are there to have fun and the hypnotist will chose the people who show the most enthusiasm. As for a movie, it makes sense to write a story line that entertains in a way that does not necessarily in line with the facts.
I don't have to tell you that weight loss is not entertainment.
When you use hypnosis to lose weight, you are using the power of your mind for your own benefit. You are creating your own story and it's not for entertainment.
Self hypnosis is perfectly safe because you are in control. Here's why:
1. You choose the suggestions that will benefit you in your weight loss journey.
2. You choose the time and place that is comfortable for you.
3. You choose the frequency and duration of the session.
Some find that they would rather go to a trusted hypnotist to guide them through the process or use recorded cd's to make it easier. If you are afraid that the hypnotist will suggest something harmful, don't worry. Your conscious mind will quickly pick up on it and block it out. Trust would be lost and the session would be over. A hypnotist realizes this and only gives the suggestions that you actually WANT to hear and incorporate into your life.
Whatever method you choose, self hypnosis for weight loss is absolutely safe.
