Subject: I'm using CD's for weight loss/body image. I'm exercising 4x a week & am feeling better about myself already. Being hypnotised isn't about control. It works through deep relaxation/meditation/visualization. It is giving me a new perspective on what I can do through the power of suggestion. I still hear and feel what's going on around me & have my full mental/physical abilities about me at all times. I do not view this as losing control at all. Nobody is taking over your mind at any time & it's not like those TV shows where they have an audience member "go under" & bark like a dog or something. It's more akin to positive reinforcement through deep relaxation. I do think that alot of people have control issues. I think it has more to do with a fear of the unknown or in others maybe selfishness or a myriad of other deep rooted issues within themselves. My control issue is doing everything myself because I'm afraid it won't get done if I don't . I'm working on that one ; )

[> Thot' some more about the hypnosis stuff throughout the day. I know several people that have quit smoking through hypnosis where nothing else worked. Done also by guided meditation/visualization while in a deep relaxive state. I think that there is something deep inside our psyche that prevents us from doing something bad or something we truly don't want to do while we're in this state. If one of these tapes, for example were to suggest I go out and murder somebody, I know I wouldn't do it because that part of me that knows right from wrong would stop me first. Now the question I haven't found an answer to is everyones "part" in their psyche on the same level. Would some people actually be more suseptable to doing wrong to others? Does that have to do with totally trusting yourself then? I'll do some more research... -- Lori, 20:31:08 08/10/03 Sun
