When I allowed the right hypnotherapist into my life, my life changed.  Admittedly before meeting my therapist I wasn’t much of a believer in hypnosis.  Not for any spiritual or intellectual reason, but because I’d been to two different ones in my distant past and neither of them produced a drop of positive results for me. 

Both were a long, long time ago, and both were more therapeutic in process, as opposed to spiritual.  They were very scripted in nature, passing along what they had been taught, by  rote.  There was no warmth, nor was there any real personal discussion about why I had come to see them.  They knew the minute I walked in the door why I was there, and they proceeded with a almost monotone session, which I’m sure was the same with everyone else who walked in the door.  I sincerely doubt either of them are still active in hypnotherapy anymore.

So I was surprised at my reaction when I first heard my sister talk about her experience with him.  I knew instantly he had been sent to me as an answer, a blessing, a guide and teacher.  My sessions with him are uplifting beyond words.  They are deeply spiritual experiences for me, and he tells me the words which flow out of his mouth are all guided by my personal guides, my support team in non-physical. 

I walk in his door feeling good about myself, but I walk out feeling euphoric, filled with confidence, connection, and a feeling of being loved that always has my feet a couple inches off the ground.  He reflects, like a mirror, my connection back to me.  He sees me as the spirit I am inside and reminds me to see myself as that spirit too.  We talk about the things I want to change in my life and he instantly sees me as changed already, then he reinforces that changed person in my mind.  My visits are highlights in my life right now, guiding me, showing me who I really am and springboarding me to change.  And the even more wonderful thing is that they are working!  The evidence is undeniable.

We’ve been meeting, at a pace completely set my be, for 2 months and the hypnotic suggestions he has been planting in my subconscious have been germinating, the roots are digging in and taking hold in my thinking.  The first couple of weeks I needed lots of concentration and determination to stay focused on eating healthy and allowing my body to release weight.  It wasn’t easy peasy for me, but I was determined, I knew I had been led to a huge answer in my life and I was willing to do whatever was needed to allow it to happen. 

And now, over the course of the last month and a half, I’ve noticed that staying focused just keeps getting easier and easier.  I don’t have to work at eating healthy, the suggestions he’s planting in my mind have started doing the work for me.  I'm changing, naturally, from the inside out.  It's no longer a struggle to stay focused on eating healthy, or rather less healthy eating choices don't seem natural to me anymore.

The insatiable mind hunger I experienced all my life, that noisy voice talking "food", "food", "food" has quieted.  The urgency to focus on food constantly . . . eating it, obtaining it, and just thinking about it . . . has faded and morphed into a growing curiosity about what “healthy food” really means. 

Cravings I’ve lived with all my life for salty, crispy, fatty, savory and sweet have been replaced with a feeling of being more in balance, and into desires for freshness, healthfulness and variety.  My desire for fast food, or even restaurant foods in general used to torment me.  If I was driving home, hungry or not, I’d be thinking about where to stop, what to buy, when and how to eat.  Feeling full of fear of arriving home and having missed the opportunity to bring something easy, hot and loaded with calories with me.  Each restaurant I passed represented a different opportunity to indulge.  Not sate by any means, I was never satisfied, but a empty attempt to fill the self devouring cavern that was inside me.

Now I've noticed, a drive home is more about the sunshine coming in the windshield, or list of errands I have next to me, or maybe that interesting person in the car sitting next to mine.  I find myself focused on anything other than the multitude of restaurants passing by the windows.

And when my old patterns rise in my mind, KFC or Pizza Hut pushes its way into my consciousness, I think to myself, “Yeah, I can have that.  Is that what I really want?”  Nine times out of ten, the answer is “No” and I drive past, feeling fulfilled, happy and free. 

Yes, it’s working.  God Bless hypnotherapy.  God bless people like my hypnotherapist who are committed to helping people explore who they are, why they do what they do and what life can be like if they allow it to change.  He talks about me “melting” . . . the pounds simply melting off my body effortlessly, and that’s exactly what is happening.  25 pounds have melted off me in the last 2 months.  But the most important thing to me isn’t the weight leaving my body.  Surprisingly, it’s the peace I feel in my mind and heart.  It’s the strength I feel building inside me and the feeling of power over my life I’ve received for the first time in my life.  It’s no longer feeling controlled by restaurant chains, food itself and the dieting industry.  It's the quiet peacefulness of a mind working for me.  It’s freedom.

I urge anyone who resonates with what I write to say a prayer and ask Spirit, your inner being, guides and/or angels to guide you to a spiritual hypnotherapist who is right for you.  Someone who will see you as the Spirit you already are and always have been and reflect that back to you.  It has changed my life and I have a strong feeling it will do the same for you.

Much love,
