Dallas Hypnosis Weight Loss is one solution for sleep apnea. An NPR.org article states.

Snoring was once considered a simple annoyance for bed partners, but there is a growing awareness in the medical community that the grunts and snorts of noisy sleepers can also be a sign of sleep apnea.

“Labs prescribe CPAP machines right away without first suggesting other strategies that could reduce apnea, such as losing weight or sleeping on your side.”

It’s a condition shown to increase the risk of several serious illnesses, including heart disease, stroke and dementia. Critics, however, worry that overnight tests to diagnose apnea, particularly those done in sleep labs, may be over-prescribed, at great cost to the health care system.

Over the past decade, the number of accredited sleep labs that test for the disorder has quadrupled, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. At the same time, insurer spending on the procedure has skyrocketed. Medicare payments for sleep testing increased from $62 million in 2001 to $235 million in 2009, according to the Office of the Inspector General.

Hypnosis can be prescribed by the physician to reduce weight and therefore the pressure on the upper body when lying prone, which reduces the symptoms in some patients.

Hypnosis is safe, with no drugs or restrictive diets.  The program is designed to have the person’s body reduce weight naturally by altering habits.

1. Reduce cravings
2. Reduce number of calories per meal
3. Increase physical activity
4. Improve response to stress
5. Reset body’s metabolism

If you suspect you might have sleep apnea, talk to your doctor about the benefits of weight loss and hypnosis for weight loss.

A new year. A new you. Self-Improvement from Dallas Hypnosis Programs.

Self Improvement starts with this reflection:  Ask yourself, “At this moment, you could love all things, all people, all situations”.  If you can say “Yes,” then there really isn’t much point in reading this blog, unless you would like to share it with a friend.

• What are you experiencing in your life right now?
• How is your job/work/career?
• Are you in a relationship, just starting or just ending?
  How does it feel?
• Is your financial life steady?
• Are you happy with the look of your body?
• How is your health?

Remember all of these questions have different answers at different times in our lives, but right now, this is your experience and you can LOVE IT, when you see IT as a way out of your current situation! In our hypnosis sessions, I assist you in doing this.

WHAT ARE MY CLIENTS EXPERIENCING?

A client came in last week and said, “I’m 60 years old, overweight and not sure what my purpose is.” Hypnosis and our sessions together will assist her in finding the lost part of herself so she can return to the woman she knows she is. And as she stated, “I just forgot about me in the wave of family and career.”  It doesn’t matter whether you are…30, 40, 50, 60 or 70 it is time to re-create!

And when we love all things, we see the world from a different perspective, one of compassion and support, not that the world is conspiring against you.  Hypnosis and my sessions ease you into that new perspective.

This a new year and time for a new you. Self-Improvement from Dallas Hypnosis Programs starts with a decision: My life isn’t what I want and a phone call to me.

Park Cities Weight Loss Hypnotist: Tips for the Holidays

Consider that holiday overeating may have less to do about tradition or nutrition and more about having a place to hide. It can become a distraction, a treat: ”Since I have to spend time with your family, I may as well enjoy myself.” Or indulging one’s self to relieve stress due to the pressures of the season and the  “family issues” we find ourselves in the midst of.

Feelings of dread, being overwhelmed, neglect, and fear lead to behaviors we regret and leave us thinking we are out of control. That disappointment in ourselves starts the cycle again.  We are especially hard on ourselves when we are working on weight loss and getting in shape for next year.

PLEASE REMEMBER THIS.

Feelings are like the gauges on your car or truck. They are there to assist us.

In the past we may have tried to fill an emotion by eating and it doesn’t work. The cycle starts over again unless we look at our feelings and work to satisfy the cause.

Process For Change- Easy as 1, 2, 3:

1. NAME IT: Write some of the feelings you have experienced that might have “caused” you to eat in the past.

For example: Anxious, depressed, frustrated, stressed out. Have awareness about what you are feeling. That is the first place to start.

2. FIND ITS SOURCE: What event, circumstance or person may have helped to create the situation (I say helped because we do have the ability to reject the source and we will get to that in future blogs). Be aware of the source of the feeling.

3. SATISFY THE FEELING IN A POSITIVE WAY:  Begin to find ways to actually address the issue.

• Go for a walk
• Redirect your attention by recalling a pleasant memory
• Drink a cup of hot tea or glass of water
• Let the person know how you feel. Speak with love and honesty
• Say no to an event
• Take a hot bath with Epson salt (stress reducing properties)

Why these feelings continue – The Process of the Mind

There are two parts of the mind: CONSCIOUS AND SUBCONSCIOUS

Conscious mind is for logic, reasoning, deliberation, contemplation, judging and thinking.

Subconscious mind holds our habits, beliefs, memories, the feelings attached to those memories. It naturally carries out the behavior that has been imprinted into it.

So when you think you should be able to get through the holidays without putting your face to the plate…remember that urge to do so is subconscious. Hypnosis is one of the only ways I know of to rapidly get to that urge and to transform it.

Would love to chat with you about your feelings around the holidays. Clients find when they enter a state of hypnosis it is similar to the light being switched on, a window opened, or a new passage to move through.

Park Cities hypnosis program supports freedom from alcoholism and other addictions – Full recovery from any addiction without relapse is possible.

According to Passages Addiction Center, in Malibu, CA, a person with dependency issues can recover fully. How can hypnotherapy play a role in a client’s recovery?

Addicts do not have an incurable disease, but are rather dependent on a substance to relieve pain, fear, anxiety, etc.; this substance has created a chemical imbalance in their mind and body.

The program gets to the underlying causes of dependency, while also employing other alternative medicines/practices in an effort to rebalance the chemical states of the mind, body and spirit.

The Alcoholism & Addiction Cure, written by Passages founder Chris Prentiss, explains the four causes of dependency:

• Chemical imbalance
• Unresolved issues from the past
• Beliefs inconsistent with the truth
• Inability to cope with current conditions

Passages uses hypnotherapy, as well as other holistic modalities, to assist people in recovery from their dependency to chemical substances. Believe a cure is possible!

After that truth is established, the hypnotist can assist the client to discover and heal causes of the dependency.

Park Cities hypnosis programs, in addition to finding the underlying causes, helps to reinforce positive living as a sober person, remove any guilt or shame, build new self-confidence, and assist the client in adopting a new personal philosophy on how life works and their part in that new life.

If you feel you are over using any substance, I suggest you order a free copy of the book from Passages. The book can be found online or in stores.

Uptown hypnosis for smoking cessation interrupts the unconscious pattern of the smoking habit.

As a hypnotist, I like to teach my clients about how to become aware of a pattern and then interrupt that pattern by creating a new action which eventually breaks the old pattern. This can be a physical pattern in the form of a habit, or a pattern of thought.

It is the conscious realization that you are about to do something that is subconscious and perhaps counter-productive. For example if you have a smoking habit and during the process of quitting you become more aware of your habitual patterns you can interrupt them and break the neural pathway that is creating the subsequent behavior.

Here is an example of how to break a pattern of thought in regards to one’s outlook on health.

If your thought pattern is to always complain about being sick, and you normally say, “I’m sick again, doctor says I have the flu, I get one every year.”

The way to interrupt that would be to say, “This year, I’m experiencing the flu, next year I’m staying healthy”. See of that how shifts it?

Here are some other examples of breaking thinking patterns, you can shift your statement from ‘I Always’ to ‘Sometimes I Do’. Or use this statement “I used to ________ & now I _________.”

For smokers, simply moving the place where the cigarettes are kept can cause the smoker to stop and notice that they have to think about where the cigarettes are now, and in doing so consider whether or not they really need one. I have clients keep the cigarettes outside in their cars…if it is raining or cold, they usually decide “it is too much trouble”. That interrupts the pattern and if used consistently can assist a person in changing the habit.

I would love to share other ways to use the concept of Pattern Interrupt to help you break a bad habit or negative thought. Give me a call at 972-974-2094.

Uptown weight loss hypnosis adds mind and body DETOX improving weight loss results.

Before we begin the hypnosis program for weight loss, we evaluate other areas of a person’s life. And in doing so, we usually suggest they start with a detox- a physical as well as mental detox. Because when we detox both our minds and body a person can get out of their own way breaking the cycle of repeating habits that don’t serve them  anymore. And weight loss follows.

Physical detox or cleanse

There are products you can purchase to facilitate an internal cleanse, it can also be done by eliminating starchy, fatty and surgery foods as well as caffeine and alcohol for a period of a week. Often people find that their mental clarity improves when these foods are eliminated and some decide to continue without them. As the body releases toxics it can have a temporary flu-like feeling, drinking more water helps. Seek the advice of a nutritional expert for the best detox or cleanse for you and your situation.

Mental detox

The process of mental detox is like the body detoxing, in that we have to give something up. In the weight loss program, we start with a 30-day program with clients selecting three of the seven items below. The objective is to bring awareness and clarity to their daily life.

Meditation-Select a quiet place, focus your gaze on an object and allow your thoughts to slow down, breath and relax.
Affirmation-You should have received a daily affirmation from me, if not, look in the mirror and tell yourself, “I LOVE YOU”-what more positive affirmation is there?
Gratitude Prayer-Wake up with a grateful heart, start the day by stating what you are grateful for.
Media Fast- eliminate news and talk radio, your friends will let you know the major events that really affect you.
Journaling-Spend 10 minutes per day getting your thoughts, feelings, attitude on the page…don’t worry about grammar– just let “it” flow.
Exercise-Work up to 30 minutes of cardio 5x a week.
Self Hypnosis- Your choice: listen to your CD, practice your stress reduction exercise, use controlled visualization as instructed in session.

Of course you can do all seven of these for best results. Of course as part of the weight program, hypnosis is used in conjunction with the detox process to clear the source of the counter productive habits and self-defeating beliefs. Also hypnosis is employed as a means of correcting emotional eating.

Enjoy the clarity of the mental detox and the lightness and energy of the physical detox. Be well.

If you are someone you know if having difficulty with sticking with the weight loss program, it could be a bigger headache than you can imagine.

Irving Weight Loss Hypnotist: Weight loss set back? Hypnosis gets client back on track.

This testimonial from a hypnosis weight loss client examines how old patterns can lead to set backs, in this case—migraines.

Often we don’t address the weight problem directly but look at other factors that can be contributing to the inability to loose weight, in this case no exercise due to a series of
migraines.

In an alpha state the client has the ability to get the headache under her control. I had her imagine she was the migraine whisperer (to tame the headache). This state also works to connect to their imagination to create ways to alleviate the pain.

When a client can see the pain as separate from them, it takes the power of the pain away and gives it back to the client. In this instance, the client saw the migraine as a red little devil (and not a part of her) she could separate from it and gain a new perspective.

“How long has it been there”? I asked. She answered, “since 2001” (this is 2011), I continued, “what is its purpose”? She realized she developed them when she was fearful of being laid off the headaches where a way to “check out for while.”

“Is your job in danger now?” I asked. “No”. “Then do you still need the headaches”? After a long pause and a sigh of relief she said, “No I don’t, the little devil can leave now.”

Sensing she felt some resistance, I said, “that devil been a constant in your life, in a way it made an agreement with you and kept it, is there a new job he could do?” We  decided he could turn into a “Fat Devil Vacuum” and suck the fat from her cells. How creative.

What could have been a life-long problem was resolved because this weight loss client reported she had a difficult time exercising, all she needed was a little internal conflict resolution.

If you are someone you know if having difficulty with sticking with the weight loss program, it could be a bigger headache than you can imagine.
