How I got started with self hypnosis

I originally got interested in self hypnosis because I was having a weight problem this summer. I noticed that my weight was creeping up, and I knew that at a certain threshold my diabetes would kick in. (I know because it has happened to me before). So, on a whim I spent about $50 on an audio set "Think Yourself Thin" from Adam Eason an entertaining hypnotist with a strong NLP background.

I was pretty determined to not waste my money, so I decided to follow all the instructions, and listen to the audio sessions at the rate suggested (one per week). I used my determination to leverage my subconscious, determined to make a serious change.

The worst part was keeping an eating journal for a while, and actually discovering what it was like to feel hungry again... This had to happen, because I needed to interrupt my old pattern of eating and bring the whole eating thing back into my conscious awareness again. Don't worry, I didn't starve, and after my metabolism stabilized, There was almost no willpower needed to stay on the program!

The most enjoyable part of the program was the audio self-hypnosis sessions. I tried to listen to the latest every day whenever possible. I could feel my body filled with energy and my psyche seemed to feel new enthusiasm after many sessions.

In about 3 weeks I started to notice that my self confidence had improved! and I felt like I had new control over my life. This unexpected result was very nice, and had unexpected benefits in many aspects of my life.

I was told not to weigh myself during the program, so I waited 10 weeks from when I began, I was amazed to discover that I had reduced my weight by over 25 lbs!

Well I was convinced of the power of self-hypnosis, so I purchased the "Master course in self-hypnosis" and started to learn the basics of how it all works. I now can create my own self-hypnosis tapes, and I try to either listen to one of Adams (I still love the Think Yourself Thin sessions) or one of my own, every day.

My life has changed. I've started religiously doing a morning ritual including Qigong, writing and self-hypnosis. I don't feel limited anymore, and I have naturally dropped some self destructive habits I've had for a long time.

If you need to change your life, and need a little guidance, I highly recommend trying a guided program like Think Yourself Thin!
