Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss

It seems like many gravitate toward the superficial and pursue that which stops many from fully realizing one's potential. How do you unpack the juiciness of life that is inside of you all along? Learn about self-awareness and go after the big, real, and true things in your life.

Hannah Hermanson is on the Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss team and helps in the success coach area and clients with the Hypnosis program.

In this episode, Hannah shares what she had to go through to land her path to wellness and self-fulfillment finally. She used to be that girl obsessing about food, having the skinny and the fittest body you could ever have body weight, and body image. She was putting her effort into things that suppress her from becoming more.

In being trapped to believe in her own bubble, that's when she hit rock bottom. When you come to that point, you only have two choices - either you sink, or you swim, and she chose to pivot and start anew, and it opened herself to possibilities she never thought possible before.

How she came out of that dark period in her life is a testament to how we can win over the many noises and chatter in our minds that are not serving us. As to her, it's either you embrace the discomfort now on your path to healing, or you remain forever in the misery of not growing and expanding and fully claiming your freedom and inner peace.

"It's this gift and a privilege to be an onion. Think about onions in the market. They're all scraped up and messy and flaky, literally like clicking around. And you take it home and you can peel it, each layer gets a little more solid, gets a little more clean, gets a little more delicious. It's a little more full of flavor. We're the same way."

Why did diets didn't work out in the past for you? Why do we have this thought that food is good or that it is bad? Why do we keep judging ourselves and our thoughts? These could all be reasons why we are not making progress with ourselves and our weight loss. We are not sticking to our truth. We keep putting on and following plans that aren't for us. We keep thoughts in our heads of what we see or what our parents, society, or social media made us believe. Why not be present with yourself this time and deal with all the chaos inside your mind? This is not a quick fix I am trying to suggest you do, but this is a long-term, life-changing game. Let me help you have the tools to get you to the other side of what you want to achieve. Let me help you with my Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss program.

"We don't want someone just to have a quick fix or whatever; we want this to be a game-changer. We want for the first time for you to get to know yourself. And for you to fall in love with yourself and accept yourself and watch that. As you do that, your whole path can start to roll out, and everything can start to be more beautiful."

Being thrust into this predicament is never easy to get out of, not when you think your only means of coping is food.

Jared Levenson is a former binge eating wrestler, lay ordained Zen monk, certified intuitive eating counselor, and a CBT journaling advocate. He helps hard-working folks write their way to eating enlightenment and food freedom.

Let's uncover what happened during his stint in the monastery and the helpful activities and action steps that extensively played in his road to healing.

Also, let's discover as he shares with us one tool that ultimately gained him emotional mastery allowing for self-awareness, making him reconnect with his body and thoughts, thus giving him the freedom he deserves.

You may have been asking the same thing, why can you not lose weight all this time, why can you not stick to your nutritional plan, why is all your weight coming on and off? Taking a closer look at your truth will reveal many things about your weight situation. Everything is not all about food; it goes back to the poor body image we have of ourselves. Food in and of itself is not the problem. Other areas of our life, like relationships, unexpected circumstances happening, maybe are not all right. That's where we need to look. Perhaps we are not dealing well with them; we are not acknowledging that we are going through something. We might be denying that there are failures in some aspects of us, or else we haven't completely processed yet the hurts and losses we have been experiencing. All these significantly affect our weight gain or loss. If we continue to push against our truth, it will continue to be there. Not addressing the main issue will get us deep down into the pit of the problem, and it would never get us anywhere. Becoming aware of the noise in our minds is one thing. Taking action is an entirely different thing that would spell something that would take us closer to our goal of having peace and freedom for ourselves. To be on the other side of where we are now, we need to get out of fear of the unknown - what if I fail again, what if I won't sustain it?

This is why we have the support system and the tools to help us when things get hard. This Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss program equips you with all these. And having a coach will help keep you in alignment with your truth whenever you fall off track. Wanting something good for yourself is never easy, but those hard things bring you the greatest gifts. And that's where a lifetime of transformation happens.

"Do what your heart is asking you to do and everything will start working. Do what your heart is asking you to do and then your weight loss can be permanent. And you can have the same kind of peace and freedom around food, body and weight that I have today."

- Leslie Thornton

How do you take care of your health? Most often, we have the perception that being healthy is all about the physical aspect; there is more to that than just what we thought it to be. What you need is a holistic approach to taking care of your physical, mental, and spiritual wellness.

Dalia Kemble is a Psychology graduate with a passion for holistic wellbeing and personal development. She holds a master's degree in organizational behavior and development and is the founder of City to Hippie where she coaches women to break free from diet culture, build a healthy relationship with food and feel competent in their body. Dahlia is a self-care advocate and mindset expert and her own journey with dieting and burnout has inspired her to teach others practical tools to help them to reach food freedom and flourish in their own wellness.

In this episode, Dalia shares her journey from burnout to wellness. How she learned from that experience the importance of self-care and self-love.

And that, it is not just about one's physical concern but all about a holistic perspective to one's health.

She encourages us that it is alright to acknowledge the different emotions we go through and the need to feel them so it leads us to be okay in the end.

We need to understand the effects of holding and keeping emotions; a lot of physical issues are rooted emotionally. We want to do away with that.

For any change to happen we need to be aware of ourselves and the limiting beliefs we are making us to believe. When that happens we begin to rewrite the story we tell ourselves to get to the other side of things.

Learning to make affirmations and practicing gratitude change everything. Though it needs daily practice, repetition is what makes a transformative change in us.

You can always do small acts to lead you on to the journey. And it's best to enjoy it and not focus solely on the goal. It's never a good idea to compare yourself with others, what's important is acknowledging how far you've come compared to your previous self.

It's a daily practice and not just a quick fix. It's good to speak to yourself as you would to a best friend. Treat yourself the compassion and kindness it deserves.

"Relaxing and taking time out and really looking after yourself from the inside out is just as important as doing."

- Dalia Kemble

What you will learn from this episode:

02:37 - From burnout to a wellness journey

03:46 - Understanding self-care from her burnout experience

06:09 - The importance of taking care of your health from a holistic approach

07:15 - Why it is just as important to feel other emotions with what you're going through and being positive about everything

10:56 - Why you need to understand the effects of not feeling emotions and holding them

12:33 - The first step for any change to happen to you

15:01 - How affirmation and gratitude change the story you are telling yourself

Nothing ever changes unless you change. Hypnosis for permanent weight loss works 100% for you if you work it. It's never easy, and it's never an overnight success, but you can look forward to a lifelong transformation. Every day we face fear -- issues around body image, weight, food, and the mental chaos we experience. They are all there, never letting us be in peace with ourselves.

The thing is, if we let this fear take dominance in our lives, nothing good and lasting would ever come out of us.

How about doing things differently at this time and make something work for you?

Our attitude towards money matters is brought about by experiences we have been through. And our idea of how to face our fears regarding financial matters is worth taking a look the same way we face our body image, weight, and food issues.

Our desire to get out of pain should be greater than our fear -- financial matter included. Because once you face your fear, you start to think of it in these terms: 'How can I' instead of 'I can't'.

You can have all the therapy you have, but you will never get past those issues that need attention if left on your own devices. With Hypnosis, you are given the tools to help you take care of yourself.

Hiring a coach and making a significant amount of financial investment made a lasting impact in my life, the reason why I am here and willing to help people who have been in the same situation I was in before. I know your struggles, and I know what it's like to figure out where to get the money to pay for that mastermind coaching to invest in myself.

It's about trusting yourself and trusting the program. Once you get past the fear over your finances, you will see that the money you spend to invest in yourself will find its way back to you multiple times.

There is always a way to get over your finances. You just have to act now. Get in touch with us, and let's talk about your path to freedom.

You have the choice: You stay in the dark, or you feel the fear and act, anyway, because the universe always has your back.

"Your experience of your life and your world doesn't change unless you change unless you do something different unless you learn these tools for how to extract out of your mind, the chaos, the clutter, the things that aren't working."

- Leslie Thornton

02:16 - Creating a new mindset around body, weight, and food

03:24 - 100% certain Hypnosis works if you work it

04:31 - How Hypnosis works with the subconscious mind and changes patterns that cause mental chaos

15:23 - Your desire to get out of the pain that you're in has to be greater than your fear

17:06 - What clients say about the Hypnosis program that makes it different from the others

How do you keep up when your mind runs thoughts more than what you can actually match with? Nothing good will come out of this other than giving you anxiety and stress.

Finding tools that will not allow unwanted thoughts and emotions to overtake you and let you process and deal with them thoroughly will serve you better.

Our guest for today's episode, Maurie, an HPWL graduate, will walk us through her Hypnosis journey.

In this episode, Maurie talks about what it's like to be running and taking on the responsibility of managing a business that has been passed on for generations. With her own family dynamics to deal with, perfectionism and feeling of unworthiness add up to what seems a burden. She shares how the tools provided in her Hypnosis journey let her slow down for her to speed up.

Emotions like anger that most of us are having a hard time dealing with, she's able to manage well before it damages her and the relationships at stake. What she used not to have a special liking to doing it, she's now able to work on and turn it into something purposeful and productive.

Though to her, it really is scary; nonetheless, she breaks the barrier -- thinking and digging down deep as to delving into her 'whys' and 'hows' and being self-aware and ultimately becoming more of herself. Hypnosis for permanent weight loss gives her the chance of a lifelong journey of well-being and freedom.

"You can muscle yourself to eat or not eat almost anything for a short amount of time. It still doesn't fix the issues. I would say, lean in now, like a moth to light, go towards the light. And learn some new tools, more about learning about yourself. I think it makes a lifelong and much deeper, fulfilling journey." - Maurie

What you will learn from this episode:

01:41 - What life looks like in a ranch or farm

03:26 - Dealing with family life and a business that is passed on from generation to generation

06:03 - A year for her of slowing down to speed up

07:58 - Her journey in getting into Hypnosis and what it is like when your mind is running more than what you actually run

10:01 - Getting aware of her emotions with those deep-dive sessions

13:48 - The essential tools that helped her get past the anxiety and being self-aware and becoming more

16:08 - Working through that part of her that was not feeling worthy

16:53 - Being able to get her anger set off somewhere and not letting it control her

21:07 - The mental calmness she gained that allowed her more mental space

25:00 - How journaling immensely helped her get past those pains and aches

26:07 - Thinking deep down beyond just calorie in and calorie out

29:44 - What she says to those on the fence -- what her Hypnosis journey all about

I know it's not easy at all. I have been there. That endless control you subject yourself to is just making you fall off track over and over again. You will never have that feeling of safety around food when your mind is filled with those obsessive thoughts 24/7. Never say that it is your last cookie, before you know it, your last count has reached 100. Things are perfect when it's perfect, but how about when expectations are not met? That's when stress sets in. And you feel you're messing up again. And you are all back to controlling again, and still, nothing would work. Life continues, making you believe it's all your fault when the truth isn't. There's a direct correlation between control freaks and bingeing and purging. What emotions that have been locked up there inside the body will find a way to let it out to make you feel good temporarily And it works but not for long. You've got to face your fears of thinking about people not liking you or relationships ending, people abandoning you, and many more that scares you. You have to heal first those fears, then your body and mind will start to trust again. And that takes time and commitment to do that but then what it can do for you is life-changing. That's what hypnosis does -- getting you armed with tools to quiet down whatever false beliefs we believe ourselves. If you're ready to take action, you can take the journey with me and achieve peace, happiness, and freedom that you evaded for so long. "Knowing it all [food] made no difference because I was not tackling what was happening in between my ears. And that's where the hypnosis comes in."

- Leslie Thornton

• Announcement of Leslie's exciting news

Do you honestly think your weight issues are all about food? Have you been getting help from constant diets but still nothing's working? When our own needs aren't met, it is hard to be present with other people and extend ourselves to them. We always feel like we are not enough.

Hypnosis for permanent weight loss provides tools for significant transformation where food is far down the list in your head. It addresses not the issue about food but some other core matters that are very much a part of your life; the kind that has been stuck there for so long.

Sheila Davis is a graduate of HPWL. In this episode, she shares how getting into hypnosis is hard work but transformational.

Hear her divulge her sentiments about feeling the guilt and shame for feeling like crazy inside, thinking she's the only one going through that emotion.

Hypnosis has made her effective in her job; she becomes a better leader, her relationships have improved. And as she gains insight into herself, she also does with other people. And it is helping her a lot in life.

She realizes that she's making busy-ness as her excuses instead of really addressing the real issues.

She has a demanding job, and things get a little difficult with her parents' and sisters' death. The way to cope with it is by disassociating herself from the grief and finding comfort in food. And that got her stuck. It's with Hypnosis that she is able to deal with it.

It's been a long time since she's tried many ways to help her with her concern but nothing sticks. That's when she found Leslie, and her story resonated with her. She decided to do things differently and how it brought her the transformation she had wanted in her life.

Hypnosis has given her the tools to uncover so much about her life's real issues. It has given her a different approach to tackle her everyday problems and life in general. She's found a supportive community who understands each other's journey; more importantly, she has come to trust herself more now with the emotional mastery that comes with it.

"I think certainly the group and being a part of that has been huge for support on so many things in life, the food becomes so far down the list. And I think part of the win is that it's not about food; it's really about so many other things."

- Sheila Davis

What you will learn from this episode:

00:56 - How she resonated with Leslie's story and decided to make a try of Hypnosis program

04:28 - Hard in a good way

07:00 - The guilt and the shame that made her feel like crazy

11:30 - Having more insight into herself allowing for more insights from other people

16:57 - How hypnosis allowed her to deal with the grief she had been disassociating herself from for so long

20:11 - Making decisions to do things differently and make a change

23:10 - A subtle but profound shift

25:49 - Tools that massively helped in her transformation

Money, weight loss, the law of attraction -- they tie together. For some reason, if you want something to happen in your life and you act on it, somehow the universe has your back. Yes, we've got to take action or else nothing happens. A lot of our issues with weight loss keep on dragging for years because we always put it off. We always put others first before our own. We always give in to our fears of what might happen to our relationships if we go push what we want for ourselves. It's never always about what we want but what others want. This woman got the surprise of her life when a stranger generously paid for the program she wanted to join by posting up the GoFundMe account the coach helped her set up. Talk about the law of attraction, when you want something badly for something good and you do your part of taking action it will most likely happen. It's having to walk the line of faith and believe something can happen. It's always about stretching out of our comfort zone and shunning all those fears. If you are still stuck in your food prison to this day because of the wrong money mindset your environment and relationships allowed you to shape it, then it's about time you try thinking of this one big step you need to make to have this lifetime of transformation you've been wanting for yourself. You'll never get past your weight problem unless you learn to quiet down that mental talk you have been having for years that is not serving you well. Your diet mentality will never work if it's all about control. Everything is about emotional mastery, and Hypnosis for permanent loss gives you the tools to have this freedom around food free from your own and anyone's judgment. Act now and will journey together.

"It's painful to take action. It's painful to grow. It's not easy at all. But, is it more or less painful than staying where you are at for the rest of your life?"

- Leslie Thornton

What you will learn from this episode:

• What basically is the law of attraction, how does it work?
• Taking action on things and not letting the fear thoughts run the show
• Setting aside the scarcity thoughts and just saying yes to whatever you want things to happen
• Don't believe you actually have to lose weight to do anything you want in life
• How good things come when you step out of your comfort zone and make things happen with what you want
• What if we have faith that the universe always has our back
• Do you have a money mindset that is not serving you?
• If you don't change and take a different direction you will always be getting the same result
