Slim
& Sexy! By
Mary Matson I've
had a weight problem for years, so when I got the assignment to
review this hypnosis program I was very excited. After all, how many
other jobs actually pay you to improve yourself? My
last experience with an Internet hypnosis program had been moderately
successful. I started losing weight in the beginning, but I lost my
motivation and ended up putting it all back on in the end. So I was
wondering if this program would somehow be the magic elixir that would
help me to lose my weight once and for all. The program is a combination program, which actually consists of four different programs, each with its own purpose. Each one can be purchased by itself. But the hypnotherapist has bundled together all of the different programs that you'll need to be successful, and he's reduced the price to make it more affordable for you. The
quick start instruction sheet that is included in the package gave me a
schedule that clearly describes when to listen to each program.
He
clears up all of the common misconceptions about hypnosis, and explains
what makes this program different from others on the market. While most
hypnosis CD's utilize what he called "Traditional Hypnosis" as
the bulk of their program, this program only uses a small amount of
Traditional Hypnosis, which is simply offering the client post-hypnotic
suggestions. Mr. Densky explains that most people of our generation were
raised and trained to analyze and question everything. And this creates
a resistance to following simple post-hypnotic commands. He
explains that this program is based mainly on modern technologies that
bypass this resistance. Ericksonian Hypnotherapy is a sort of
conversational hypnosis that uses stories, conversation, and metaphors
to hide the suggestions so that the conscious mind doesn't create
resistance to them. And Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), which is a
technology that is based on training the unconscious to use the same
exact thought patterns and processes that it uses to create a problem,
like cravings and compulsions, to eliminate them. Session
two is the first induction of hypnosis. So I sat back in my chair and
listened to Mr. Densky's soothing voice, with some pleasant background
music. It was very, very pleasant, and I sank down into the deepest
state of relaxation that I can ever recall feeling.
And
we also feel cravings because of unconscious associations called
conditioned responses. For example, if you eat while you are working on
your computer, your unconscious will associate the two activities
together, and then every time you get in front of the computer, a
picture of the food in your hand coming towards your face, flashes at
the unconscious level of mind. It is that unconscious mental picture
that makes you feel cravings, and a compulsion to eat. Some
people have a compulsion to eat because being overweight can provide
emotional protection. But I'll tell you more about that in a few
minutes. The
last twenty minutes of the video is the magic elixir. It is not a video
of a hypnotist hypnotizing you. It is a programming video. This is a
great technology for those of us who have a poor imagination and have a
problem visualizing. The video is really effective because it actually
does the visualizing for you. You will see a series of scenes that are
exactly what the hypnotist would ask you to visualize during a hypnosis
session. The scenes are based on NLP patterns. So
for example, if one of your problems is that you've unconsciously
associated food with watching the TV, what you would see in the video is
a hand. You are told to imagine this is your hand. You see your hand
coming towards your face (the screen) with food in it. Just as the food
is about to go into your mouth, the picture slowly starts to zoom away.
As the picture zooms away into the distance, several changes take place
in that picture. Eventually the picture disappears, and a new picture
starts to emerge from a tiny spot in the distance. As
the new picture gets closer and larger, you see a profile view of
yourself, sitting and watching TV, without any food. And you see
yourself with a thin and sexy body. The video process then repeats
itself several times, each time zooming faster and faster. Within a few
minutes, your unconscious mind has been programmed so that every time
you sit down to watch TV, instead of it flashing a picture of food in
your hand (which makes you feel cravings), it flashes a disassociated
image of you, watching the TV without eating, and you have a slim body. The
video goes through a number of different common scenarios where people
tend to associate food, but shouldn't. It also uses the same technique
to train your brain to have stressful thoughts automatically trigger
thoughts that are supposed to relax you. Later
that evening when I sat down to watch TV, which is when I generally do a
lot of snacking, I didn't even have a single thought about food. It was
interesting, because I wasn't aware of anything in particular happening,
but I just didn't feel like eating at all, and it was wonderful. Third
Day:
Listen to "Vaporize Your Appetite!" session three. I like the
fact that Mr. Densky prefaces each session by telling you what he is
going to do and how it's going to work. This session uses an Ericksonian
metaphor. Once again, I found myself in an even deeper state of
tranquility, as I listened to an interesting story. The metaphor carries
hidden messages that help you ignore the chaos in life and become a much
more relaxed person overall. Somehow it also instructs your unconscious
to diminish your appetite. Fourth
Day: Listen to
"Vaporize Your Appetite!" session four. Putting
something into your mouth relaxes you! Once again, in this session I
felt myself enter a profound state of very deep hypnosis. The
hypnotherapist uses this session to program your unconscious to
substitute pleasant memories and fantasies in place of food and drink.
This makes you feel the relaxation and pleasure that your mind and body
is seeking without consuming food, so you lose your appetite to overeat. Fifth Day:
Listen to "Vaporize Your Appetite!" session five. This session
utilizes deep hypnosis to program your unconscious to adopt new eating
behaviors. Since powerful motivation is a key to success,
programming for self-esteem to create that motivation is reinforced. You
are instructed to watch only the appropriate mind programming sessions
in the Neuro-VISION "Lose Weight In A Flash!" video. This
takes about twenty minutes. Sixth
Day:
Listen to "Vaporize Your Appetite!" session six. Long
story short, you lose your cravings, urges, and appetite to overeat so
you eat a lot less. You actually lose weight without the need for
willpower! At the end
of the first week, I did find that I felt a lot better, and
interestingly, I was sleeping a lot better. Food had become much less
important to me. As a matter of fact, I just didn't seem to think much
about it anymore. I was thrilled because I had lost 5 lbs. Twice
per week from this point on: Watch
only the appropriate mind programming sessions on the “Lose Weight In
A Flash!” video. This takes about twenty minutes each time. As I
watched the video, even though my eyes were wide open, I found myself
entering a nice deep state of hypnosis and mellowing out.
There
I was at the beginning of week three, which is typically when I start to
lose motivation. Sure enough, I was starting to find excuses to NOT
listen to the hypnosis sessions or pay attention to what I was eating. I
still didn't have any real cravings for food, but it was as though some
part of me was trying to make my weight loss program fail. So
per the quick start sheet, I got out the "Reframe Compulsive
Overeating" CD. This is an interactive CD. You must take an active
part in the use of this program. The CD shows you how to set up a
channel of communication with your unconscious mind so it will send you
signals, which either mean "yes" or "no" in answer
to the questions that you ask it. The
instructions on the CD explain that being fat can provide all sorts of
emotional protection. Like if somebody got their heart broken, becoming
fat could keep them out of new relationships. Staying out of
relationships will eliminate the pain and heartache of any more
breakups. Or
being fat could keep a married person from fooling around on their
partner, so their marriage would stay intact and the children wouldn't
have to suffer. It turns out that there are as many different benefits
to being fat, as there are overweight people. This program works by using a process called the NLP six-step reframe. Think about it. My unconscious makes me get fat to protect me from being hurt. The CD helped me negotiate with my unconscious and get it to assume the responsibility for motivating me to substitute some other behavior that is as effective and available at providing the emotional protection that I need. And the beauty is that the new behavior is more consciously acceptable to me than being fat is. The
bottom line is that this process works and my motivation to continue to
do all of the things that help me to lose my appetite, and my weight has
returned with a vengeance. So I was able to continue on with my regular
schedule of listening to “Vaporize Your Appetite!” sessions and
watching the programming sessions on the “Lose Weight In A Flash!”
video.
Conclusion: Slim & Sexy! isn't a crash diet program. As a matter of fact, it isn't a diet program at all. It's an appetite elimination program. And, it's a motivation and self-esteem program. The program includes every session that you will need to build up your motivation, feel more relaxed and happy, and best of all, to lose your cravings, compulsions, and appetite to overeat. If you enlist the help of any experienced hypnotherapist, you'll pay $200.00 or more for a single session. And forget the fantasy of a one session cure and get real. Hypnotherapy is just that, therapy - NOT magic. Everyone will need multiple sessions, especially when you are dealing with a long term and complex issue like weight control. And that makes the moderate fee for this all inclusive program a real bargain. In the end I lost 42 lbs. in three months. I never felt deprived or hungry or like I had to use willpower, and I've now been able to keep the weight off for over a year. If anyone wants to forget about food and permanently lose weight, I highly recommend the Slim & Sexy! appetite elimination and weight loss program program.
