Before learning how hypnosis can help people optimally and permanently reduce their weight, try this simple technique: Ask yourself what your ideal weight is. Then enter your self-hypnotic state or breathe deeply three times through your nose, close your eyes as you exhale the third breath, and ease into a comfortably deep state. Imagining yourself slowly and rhythmically moving downward or upward (stairs, escalator, elevator, etc.) can help you reach deeper levels of relaxation. If conscious thoughts, feelings or responsibilities try to creep in, allow them to pass right through as you focus on moving deeper and deeper into relaxation. When ready, ask again what your ideal weight is. If the numbers differ, the second one should be the most accurate, since it came from the deeper levels of your mind.


Using hypnosis is the ideal way to reach one's ideal weight because it enables a person to retrieve information about her/ his entire life from the subconscious mind. It's important to get a complete understanding of all the experiences, messages and in- fl uences that contributed to and reinforced being overweight. Then the three Rs of hypnosis (Release, Replace, Reinforce) come into play. By understanding the "roots of the problem," a person is then able to disconnect in her/his subconscious mind the impact of those "roots," or causes, from that moment on. The void that is cre- ated by the Release of the roots can then be fi lled (Replaced) with the positive benefi ts of reaching one's ideal weight in a healthy, safe, comfortable and satisfying way. Because habits usually take hold in the subconscious mind by repetition, saturating the mind with the reinforcement of the ideal weight benefi ts (Reinforced), especially while in self-hypnosis, results in those benefi ts becom- ing the person's permanent reality.
