At this point it is fairly well known how traditional and conversational hypnosis can aid weight loss. Yet for some people these kinds of treatment can a little too abstract to comprehend. Imagine for a second that you knew nothing of hypnotherapy and someone told you that they can help you lose weight simply by talking in a certain manner to you. You’d think they were crazy, right?

Recently there has been a unique weight loss solution released called Gastric Band Hypnotherapy. This is a much more tangible form of hypnotherapy in so much as the patient is talked through multiple sessions as if they are having a real gastric band operation performed. For most people this is much more “real” and easier to imagine as it replicates a real life medical procedure. The idea is that once the subconscious mind becomes convinced that the stomach really has had a gastric band fitted and then desires food in an according manner. This works in the same way an appetite suppressant would, only it doesn’t require constantly shelling out money every month for a fresh supply of pills.

Happy new year to all readers of NLP Hypnosis Secrets. It’s been awhile since I last updated the blog but this is a new year and a chance to work myself back into a regular routine. During the last few months I’ve been working on building some promotional relationships with other websites and blogs within the topic of self improvement. NLP Hypnosis Secrets is now syndicated on Hypnosis Knowledge and you may have also noticed that we now have a tab at the top of the page which takes you to a forum where you can discuss NLP, hypnosis and other related topics. The forum is hosted by the good people at HypnoBusters.

Now onto the actual topic of discussion, nail biting and how you can cure your addiction using NLP.

Addiction may seem like a strong word for habitual nail biting but if you’ve every tried to stop it you will know how hard it can be. The reason for this is that nail biting is an obsessive-compulsive disorder so you can’t just make a conscious effort to stop and expect it to work. It’s like that itch that you need to scratch.

When training to be a hypnotist it is extremely important to be able to spot the signs of hypnotic trance. These signs indicate when your target has been hypnotized and is ready to absorb your hypnotic suggestions into the subconscious mind.

Look for these Signs of Hypnotic Trance

Blinking rate slows down.

Eyes appear glazed over.

Eyes redden due to increased blood flow.

Eyelids flutter.

Eyes close entirely.

Breathing slows down.

Pulse slows down (check neck for this sign).

Facial muscles become completely relaxed.

Muscles around the face, particularly the eyes, twitch.

Face becomes slightly paler.

Target becomes “immobile”.

Target’s voice becomes slower and deeper.

Instinctive reactions greatly reduced.

No reaction to external noise.

You have their complete attention and focus.

People don’t tend to display every single one of these signs of hypnotic trance, but if you see a handful or more then you can be sure that you have sufficiently hypnotized your target to accept your suggestions.

One of the biggest crazes in the videogame industry right now is the Brain Training franchise. These games are excellent ways to keep your mind active and sharp. However when it comes to the mind, and especially the memory, you can’t merely take a one dimensional approach. If you want to maintain and even improve your memory then you need to harness as many techniques as possible. In recent years it has emerged that hypnosis is one such technique that can greatly improve the power and recollection of the memory.

Just sit and think for a moment about everything that is going on around you. If you’re sat in front of your laptop or computer, in a quiet room, it might seem like there is little going on and nothing to remember. Yet in actuality there are hundreds of items around you in a specific layout, sounds, smells and many other kinds of stimuli. When you think of it that way it is easy to see how the memory can be overloaded much the same way as you could cause your computer to freeze by running many large programs at the same time. Not only is there constantly a high volume of information being entered into your memory but the likelihood is that you often have points of the day where you feel tired or stressed. All of these factors come into play when it comes to the efficiency of your memory. So how can hypnosis help you to not only maintain but improve your memory?
