Fairy Girl

The post you have all been waiting for:)

I started the hypnotherapy diet approximately two weeks ago. My sister who is studying hypnotherapy asked if I would be her case study, do you think it has anything to do with the fact that I had to lose 30 kg?

I was rather nervous at first as I like to be in control and not just sometimes but all of the time. The thought of someone else controlling me, frightens me.

However, she helped me while I was studying so it was only fair that I help her.

I was instructed to lie flat on my bed with no bent or crossed knees. The ear phones were placed on my head and the CD started. Her voice was so calming, I remember thinking is this the same person cause I don’t recognise that voice. The music was so relaxing. I was convinced that she had put the incorrect CD on because it felt more like a relaxation session.

The more I listened, the more I relaxed. It felt as if my body had melted into the bed.

I asked Des to jot down a few pointers on how the hypnotherapy works, so here goes………

Hypnotherapy is a means of bringing about a deep state of relaxation and an altered state of consciousness. Essentially you are changing the way you think and react to certain situations, changing your behavioural patterns. For example, with weight loss you are changing your behavioural patterns towards unhealthy food, knowing that they are not good for you and make you put on weight, instead you become more favourable towards healthy food, drinking water and exercising. It’s a healthy way to lose weight as you are not crash dieting or trying out some new fad, but rather eating correctly and being conscious of what you are eating. I think the most important thing is that you don’t feel like you are on a diet but you are losing the kilos!

Everyone experiences hypnotherapy differently, but it is nothing to be afraid of, as Leigh-Ann said it is a relaxing and calming experience. It is the perfect opportunity to have 30 minutes of “ME TIME” in the morning or evening.

As soon as she is qualified I will market the CD through my salon. Hopefully we can start marketing in the next month or so.

I have lost a total of 14 kg, obviously some of it was baby weight. This CD has taught me to stop snacking and too limit my intake of peanut butter and bread:(
