New Use for Hypnosis!
I received this intriguing question today via email:
Hi! Although I find most of your services are interesting, I am curious about hypnosis. It is kind of weird… I am the world’s fussiest eater. I HATE vegetables. I know I would be a healthier person if I could get past the smell and taste of veggies. (I am a good cook and cook veggies for my wife and kids for dinner…) I have tried-potatoes smell and taste like spoiled dirt to me, carrots… yuck… I gag!!! (I am sure you get the point with all veggies and numerous other foods.)
Life would be much healthier and easier if I could get past my food issues. Is this something you dabble in with hypnosis??? I really want to crave veggies.
Thanks,
Veggie Hater
Hi - I hate to say it, but I can relate! LOL! I think I’m a little better with veggies than you, but I really hate most green things!
Anyway, yes, this is a perfect application for hypnosis. First, we’d go back into your memory and see if there is any reason why you originally made this decision, back in your childhood, and if there’s any need to keep this belief system today. It’s likely not necessary, so then we’d work to change your belief system, or programming, regarding vegetables.
As with smokers, when we tell their subconscious minds that they are non-smokers, we would tell your sub-
conscious that you are a veggie-lover!
With all hypnosis, it may only take one session to achieve the desired results; every person is different, and depending upon your experience, natural ability, and the topic we will be working on, you may or may not need more than that. However, I never tell you how many times you must come - that’s a choice that I leave up to you, although of course I will give you my recommendation.
Hypnosis is something that a person can learn and become better at doing, and the effects are cumulative, so most people will find that the more hypnosis they experience, the better they will succeed. Therefore, we record the session, so you have that to take home with you to work on it.
I tell everyone that you must be prepared to cooperate with the process - hypnosis will NOT make you do something you don’t want to do - you must be ready and willing to do what’s necessary. However, that being said, hypnosis can make it infinitely easier to understand why you have a certain problem, fix that part, and then reprogram your subconscious with new beliefs and attitudes, as well as implanted ideas and suggestions for new behavior.
You will also learn techniques for self-hypnosis - therefore, practicing with and without the recording will further your progress. If you’ve ever been hypnotized before, or even meditated, it will be faster and easier for you, but even if not, just about everyone can be hypnotized, especially people who are intelligent, and being motivated really helps too.
