If you're ready to change your life, you've come to the right place.

When you hear the word "hypnosis," do you think of the old "you are getting very sleepy" trance-like kind you may have seen portrayed in a movie or on TV?

When it comes to hypnosis for weight loss, self-hypnosis or NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), this stereotype couldn't be further from the truth.

Hypnosis:

• Is a powerful tool that draws on an even more powerful tool: your brain.
• Can be used to understand yourself, your thoughts and your actions better.
• Is a tool you can call upon to help change your old, bad habits into new, positive habits.
• Unlike therapy, deals with your subconscious (as opposed to your conscious) mind.
• Is based on the objective areas of science and biology.
• Can allow you to more easily make positive and desired changes in your life, from smoking cessation to weight loss.

Your Slim Vision's NLP model of learning utilizes the work and discoveries of experts, coaches, therapists and hypnotherapists to guide you step-by-step through what is stopping you from reaching your weight loss goals and show you exactly how to proceed in doing something about it.

And best of all, incorporating this program into your life is easy and requires a minimum amount of time on your part.

Sound like magic? It's not (though sometimes it works that way!). Its goal is to change a behavior through the sheer power of suggestion. When you're in a hypnotic state, you can easily make positive changes because your self-conscious mind is more open to suggestions for change. To really understand why and how that is so, it's important to understand some things about how your mind works.

It's been said that we all have two minds, our conscious and our subconscious minds. Your subconscious mind, which makes up 88% of your mind, stores information over the long term. This information includes the thoughts and beliefs that control all you do and think during your
waking hours.

That 88% of your mind is what dictates everything you do, say, think and feel! Sometimes a thought or idea might "pop up." It doesn't come out of nowhere. It "pops up" because your subconscious mind has already processed it. While you are awake, your conscious mind, made aware of thoughts, feelings and ideas by your subconscious mind, makes all sorts of evaluations and decisions based on pre-conceived beliefs embedded in your subconscious mind.

What does all of this mean for you and for your weight loss goals? A lot, actually. For instance, if your subconscious mind believes that you are an overweight person who is destined to have little will power and fight with food forever. If you believe that pizza is good and delicious and something you need to fight mightily to avoid, that is exactly what it will always be.

Try as you might to use your conscious mind to alter or eradicate that thought, nothing changes. Nothing at all. It's not enough to just want to change. Even if you believe you are someone with great will power, you still won't find that this is a permanent solution.

Until the underlying thought or belief in your subconscious mind is changed, your ongoing patterns will run your life. Change the subconscious thoughts and then you will change your life.

And that's the great news here: using hypnosis, you CAN change or “re-wire” your brain and your subconscious mind. You can replace your deep-seated negative thoughts with thoughts that will lead to the behaviors, actions and results you desire.
