There is a perception among some people that self hypnosis can independently be used to lose weight. This is a wrong perception, as self hypnosis is used as a tool to make changes in your subconscious mind, which will help you in losing weight fast by changing some of your bad habits that are resulting in over weight.

Over weight can result in negative emotions like anger, lack of confidence and depression. Some causes of weight gain are over eating, excessive alcohol, drugs and absolute lack of any physical activity.

Over weight can be due to different reasons like physical, psychological and genetic. The toughest to cure is genetic. A person suffering from this kind of obesity had to undergo surgery to remove extra fat from his body. Physical reason may include some disease, like it has been seen that some people gain weight dramatically after prolonged fever. Psychological reasons include the reasons related to mind.

When ever any one goes for hypnosis session, there is a prehypnosis test that every one has to go through. In this test the psychological health of the person who is undergoing hypnosis is evaluated to find out the negative feelings that may be hidden inside his subconscious mind. If these feelings do exist, then the job of the hypnotist is to help the person to get rid of these feelings.

Important thing to remember is that if a person does not want to get hypnotize, no one in the world can hypnotize him. So all these fears, that you will become some kind of slave are totally baseless. Best results come when both the hypnotist and the person undergoing hypnotism work in accord with each other. In case of self hypnosis also, you have to believe in hypnotism to get some sort of result. Having said that, you don’t have to be a believer in truest sense of the word, but at least you should not distrust the process before actually going through it.

Self hypnosis can take care of both physical and psychological problems. Self hypnosis works on subconscious mind. All the experiences that we go through in our daily lives are stored in the subconscious mind and over time these experiences takes form of habits and hidden desires. You may notice that sometimes you react almost automatically, the truth is that our subconscious mind is doing this and we don’t even know. Self hypnosis will help you in harnessing the power of subconscious mind.
