Self-Hypnosis for Weight Loss, Hypnosis in Dallas, teaches a healthy and effective way to stay motivated to reach goals.

When a person is ready to lose weight, they often wonder how they stay motivated, especially when there is 50-100 pounds to lose.

Self Hypnosis is one of the tools we use to keep clients motivated to lose the weight throughout the program.

Remember, self hypnosis is not for overcoming difficult times or feelings, because if you are in that mind set, and then go into a state of hypnosis you could be heightening that negative state.  Rather self-hypnosis is best for improving sports performance, create a satisfying night’s sleep, study skills and test prep, or to create a state of control or motivation while working on a goal.

There are two laws of mind that govern this process.

They are the law of repetition and the law association. The later refers to the benefit of the repeated action (the first law) as you begin to associate the benefits (motivation) with the act of self-hypnosis.

Next week I’ll offer some instructions, until then decide what it is you want to change or focus on and I’ll teach you how to create that state of mind.

One more thought:  this is a type of autogenic training if you want to do some research on that. Until then, think only positive thoughts and breathe!

Inner Conflict Must Occur for Successful Hypnosis Smoking Cessation.

So why would an inner conflict need to arise in order for someone to be successful using hypnosis for smoking cessation?

Basically it is the way the mind works.  Internal conflict drives us to one side or the other, to one behavior or another. This is explained in the ‘theory of mind,’ which is part of my hypnosis consultation.  The ‘theory of mind has three basic principles for how we operate in life:

• Identification
• Association
• Response

Let’s say you want to stop smoking naturally.  To do that you must go back to why you started, when you learned to smoke, you were not born with that wired into your primitive mind.

What happens at first is that your body says, “no, please don’t smoke that, it is making me sick” (an internal conflict); but your desire (overcomes the initial conflict) to be a part of a group, or to “act out” during your teenage years was stronger then the body’s signal.

Smoking cessation tips

After time, your body adapts to the condition.  Then you begin to build a habit around the smoking…you begin to ASSOCIATE it with what you do after a meal, after having an argument, driving, or what you do first thing in the morning, etc.  Our RESPONSE is to smoke.

Then we reach a point in our lives, sometimes decades later where we want to stop because we are coughing, have no energy, tired of the expense, feel like an outcast, etc.  But we realize our habit is so engrained we can’t just say, I’m putting them down and walking away.”  Therein is the new conflict and that is actually the motivation we need to change a habit.

Hypnosis stop smoking helps to increase the DESIRE to be a non smoker with all those benefits so that the person has a new association and response, for more about this, please call for your consultation.

Valerie Grimes, Dallas Hypnotist Explains Mesmerism and Hypnosis in part two of her series on ‘The History of Hypnosis’.

Another important aspect of Puysegur’s study of mesmerism (animal magnetism) was the realization that the success of the procedure was based on the person’s will to be healed. And he believed it was possible for them to magnetize themselves.  The same is true today of hypnosis.  The person must be willing and believe they can be transformed and they learn to perform self: hypnosis.

Marquis de Puysegur
1751-1825
Read Part One

During the early 1800s there were two camps: mesmerists in Europe who were engaged in the medical field and maintained the physical reality of animal magnetism; and the “animists” whose explanation of animal magnetism was more psychological then physical.

Jose-Custodio de Faria (1756-1819) continued the concept of Puysegur that the “real power was located in the subjects themselves.” 

Henin de Cuvillers (1755-1841) promoted the view that the phenomena associated with mesmerism resulted from the combination of suggestion and belief.

Dr. John Elliotson (1791-1868) used mesmerism to treat disorders of the nervous system, including epilepsy, and hysterical paralysis. Elliotson admitted that he could not explain how healing occurred using his approach to mesmerism, this was not a great career move for him and resulted in a shift from the medical field to private parlors and sickrooms.

It would be just as difficult to explain how a prayer works. If you are looking for a scientific explanation for how a person is healed by intercessory prayer, you won’t find one. I feel the same way about hypnosis, it works when there is rapport and a belief on the part of the subject. However you can’t conduct a double blind study to produce a known process for the specific procedure used in that session.

Valerie Grimes, Dallas Hypnotist Explains Mesmerism and Hypnosis and how one transformed the other in her series on the History of Hypnosis. The coining of the term hypnosis will be covered in the next article.

Hypnosis. A Brief History Condensed by Hypnotist in Dallas Valerie Grimes is the first in several installments that explain the beginnings of hypnosis and its re-entry into the medical community.

Hypnosis, although believed to be used thousands of years ago in the trance temples of Greece, got its start in the world of medicine in the 18^th century when Franz Anton Mesmer disillusioned by the medical treatments at the time and also intrigued by the gravitational influence of the planets on the human body experimented with magnetism and his magnet technique which was later called Mesmerism.

A breakthrough came when he discovered:

“The medium of healing was not the magnet, but the flow of an invisible fluid that could pass in ‘magnetic streams’ from a healer who possessed it in abundance to a patient whose own streams were damaged in some way.”
Source – Hypnosis: A brief history

He was searching for a way to help his patients without blood letting, blistering, and the other medical practices of that time. Unfortunately, even though he was getting results, the medical community rejected him and caused him to leave his hometown of Vienna.

His life ended at age 80 not as a person remembered for his infamous theory on Animal Magnetism but as a local healer with extraordinary power. However, what he couldn’t know upon his death was that it was the work of his student Marquis de Puysegur (1751-1825) that transformed mesmerism into a direction that is now the basis for hypnosis today. His work transferred the power of healing from the healer to the patient (which is where it was all along).  Perhaps if Mesmer could have seen this, his techniques would have been accepted by his peers.

Dallas Hypnotist Explains Why We Do The Things We Do.

Dallas Hypnotist Valerie Grimes explains how right now what we are experiencing in life is exactly what has been programmed into our minds.

It can be a startling thought:  the subconscious always achieves everything it receives. So right now if you are experiencing difficulty in financial matters, relationships, weight issues, etc. then it is because that is exactly how your mind programmed.

Valerie Grimes, CCHt

We experience a natural bodily occurrence:  Homeostasis.  It continually adjusts and keeps us basically the same (our bodies do get out of balance when we continually add to one side of the balance scale i.e. weight gain).

WE HAVE A CEILING AND A FLOOR

If you are too prosperous…too unsuccessful, homeostasis kicks in.

In our natural cycles we go up and down, and down and up, but we stay in the same range. Each of us has a different ceiling and a different floor.

Life happens everyday and the subconscious is watching, taking notes and says “Okay, that is what we expected,” so that experience is reinforced, no matter if it is good or bad. The subconscious mind doesn’t like unknowns…it bases your future on what you have done in the past: your ceiling and your floor.

This reminds me of that movie Groundhog Day.  All of daily experiences process at night in dreams and predicts our next day…our mind bases our next day on the previous day, it keeps us in the range.

So to throw it off, you must flood the mind with new statements, ideas and feelings that reflect the changes you want. Kind of like dropping a pebble in bucket of water, over and over, one day you realize there is no more water in the bucket. And you wake up and it’s a brand new day with new experiences to enjoy.

Dallas Hypnotist explains why we are experiencing exactly what has been programmed into our minds, to change that, call for a consultation.

Valerie Grimes, Hypnotist sharing her clients’ success using hypnosis for weight loss:

Hypnotist In Dallas, Valerie A. Grimes,  Reconnects Natural Instinct To Eat Healthy & Lose Weight By Removing The Imprints We Have Associated With Foods.

Most of us were born with the natural instincts to know what to eat, when and how much. Then, we fall,  scrape our knee and dear sweet mom, auntie or grannie brought us cookies and milk and we felt so loved and soothed—and then food becomes comforting.

It also works to repel us against certain foods like if we are forced to eat vegetables we may not like them as adults.

The above scenario creates an imprint  and that imprint can stay with us until we decide to change it and it CAN be changed because it was a learned behavior.Hypnosis for weight loss is effective at unlearning because it allows each person to reestablish his natural instinct for recognizing appropriate foods and food portions.Everyone is born with this intuitive understanding so it is easy to access this and reestablish our connection. Most clients find the transition effortless because it returns their bodies to their original condition with nothing new to learn.

Hypnotist in Dallas reconnects natural instincts to eat healthy and lose weight without diets, strenuous exercise or the fear of gaining the weight back but by reconnecting with natural instincts, call for your complimentary consultation.

Dallas Hypnotist, Valerie Grimes, discusses imprints and their effect on our daily lives.

Need to stop a behavior?
Want to be free to move forward with a project or a new career?

Imprints often stop us in our tracks even though our conscious intention is otherwise.

An imprint drives a behavior that has been created because of something we:

That is how hypnotist Don Mottin explains imprints in his workshop on removing imprints.

Listen to an example of removing a negative imprint about eating vegetables:

After a session to remove a gag reflex when eating vegetables, the client writes to say she is doing well.

“I have been eating salads (very plain with just lettuce, cheese, meat) everyday since I left Tuesday! It has been wonderful! No feelings to gag at all!! I’m not exactly enjoying them but find myself enjoying them more and more everyday. Right now though, I’ve been trying to eat at least one everyday to get more used to it. But it has been great! My parents and friends are super shocked!” Jessica-Dallas

How are imprints generated?

An imprint starts with a suggestion and is generated in two ways internally or externally.

Example of internal – negative self talk

Vegetables have always made me sick.

Example of external – direct/indirect suggestions of others.

Aunt Marcia always ate her vegetables but she still died too young.

There are two types of imprints:

Positive | Negative 

Imprints, also known as beliefs, reside in the unconscious mind and operate continuously without our awareness (or permission) until they are reframed.

So if you find yourself saying why am I stuck? Why do I have this behavior or this attitude? Then it could be an imprint that is easily removed through hypnosis!

Call Dallas Hypnotist Valerie Grimes today to discuss your imprint and how it affects you!

How Does Dallas Hypnosis Programs Help Us To Make The Right Choice?

Before we can answer that question understanding this concept is important:

Everything we do is a choice, sometimes a conscious choice, but mostly our behaviors are subconscious.  

You are always FREE to make the right choice.
Hypnosis Helps You Find That Freedom

Next, the conscious mind is only responsible for about 10% of our behavior or actions in life; the subconscious is the other 90%.  Think of all the things you do without thinking — the habitual tasks we carry out daily. Also stop to consider how we have continuous self-defeating beliefs and counter-productive habits, those are subconscious and when we attempt to consciously change them it is frustrating, like trying to remember to breath differently each moment of each day.

Hypnosis naturally creates new choices that are subconscious.  

Let’s say one choice would be to not exercise, that is a subconscious choice so to attempt to consciously change that choice takes a great deal of continuous effort. But because our conscious mind doesn’t carryout our actions, it is difficult to keep this focus day after day.

One way to change the subconscious drive is to focus on the desire for the outcome of that choice, for example exercising leads to feelings of being happy and carefree and even more relaxed feelings at work. In other words, to your subconscious mind the benefit of exercise is more appealing than the old choice not to exercise which leaves you feeling weighed down and sleepy.

Changing behaviors takes time, however it is more rapid with hypnosis because the hypnotist is working on the change at a subconscious level, so the new action becomes the new natural or habitual action, replacing the old one in about 14 to 31 days.

So if you are ready to have your subconscious naturally make the right choice, then Dallas Hypnosis Programs is how.  Make the right choice and call Dallas Hypnotist Valerie Grimes for your consultation today.

Over Eating Is Subconscious. Hypnosis For Weight Loss Changes Those Patterns.

Overeating is a subconscious behavior, however, hypnosis can work to change those patterns so weight loss occurs, as eating patterns are changed.

We were born with healthy subconscious patterns when it comes to satisfying our hunger, but through our developmental stage and life experiences, those patterns become disrupted. Hypnosis for weight loss restores the original healthy patterns.

Instinctively, we once knew the rights foods and the right portions, we ate subconsciously and were healthy and fit.  Then the wires got crossed and eating and food perhaps took on a new meaning, replacing the old instincts with a new desire to fill an emotional need.  So the act is still subconscious, but driven by the wrong desire. Hypnosis changes that desire and returns a person to a natural state.

How?  Stored in one’s neurology is the intuitive nature to eat a balanced diet. We use hypnosis to active that memory while releasing any emotional attachment to foods (that is the simple explanation). Want to know more? 

Weight Loss / Weight Reduction Hypnosis Program Benefits:

• Eating to nourish your body
• Choosing the right foods instinctively
• Eating in a calm and relaxed state
• Developing new habits lasting a lifetime.

So, what are your eating behaviors?  Take a week to examine your eating patterns we call this Eating With Awareness.  This process provides new information that sheds a light on your eating patterns, so they can change. To do this, simply write your food/beverage intake for a week along with your level of hunger/fullness and your emotional state (bored, happy, sad, etc). With awareness comes clarity and with clarity comes change.

Overeating is subconscious, but with hypnosis programs for weight loss in the Dallas area, a person can learn to overcome those old patterns of behavior, achieve the new behaviors of a healthy, and fit person for a lifetime!
