Healthy Eating versus Eating to Survive. This is Tim Brunson, the creator of the Hypnotherapy
Solutions for Life series.
As nutrition is so vital to our body’s health, why do so many of us turn this necessity into
a problem? Normally, the answer lies in the fact that we have corrupted many of the natural
capabilities of our brain. We have learned that eating not only serves as a requirement
to provide nutrients to our cells and organs, it has somehow become linked to our stress-fighting
defense mechanism. So, how do we transition from eating for stress to once again primarily
eating for health?
The essential problem is that there is a tremendously close relationship between the parts of our
brain that handle our self-preservation regarding our need for nutrition and our self-preservation
regarding our need to safeguard our bodies from external threat. Furthermore, this linkage
between our eating habits and our other survival needs makes a whole lot of sense. For instance,
if we think that our survival will the threatened by a long, harsh winter, or the possibility
of a drought, it makes sense to gain a few pounds. However, that same logic hurts us
when the perceived threat is the Internal Revenue Service, your employer, or some totally
irrational fear. In those cases, we further our instincts by reinforcing habits that mislead
us to believe that ingesting additional calories provides us with additional layers of defensive
armor. The problem is that fat and armor are not the same thing. In fact, more fat can
make you unhealthy and even possibly shorten your life.
The task then is to reprogram how your mind relates stress and eating. There simply needs
to be an alternate way of reacting to the stressors in your life. And, you need to strengthen
how your mind associates eating with your long-term health. To do this, the deep relaxation
provided by a hypnosis session will be a very big asset. When you get accustomed to this
alternate state and make it a daily habit, it is amazing how fast your weight will change
– and how you will most likely find other areas of your life improving.
Hypnosis is also a great way of changing how your brain maintains your body image. As a
map of your entire brain is maintained in your head – to include every cell and organ,
- when you begin changing your mind, your body receives a different set of instructions.
This is so powerful that several research institutes have shown that changing how you
think – during hypnosis sessions – will actually improve how fast wounds and fractures
heal. If that is true, then just imagine what impact you can have on shedding those extra
pounds.
One example of an excellent hypnosis session that you can use daily conveniently in your
home is my EATING FOR HEALTH CD and MP3 product. For even better results, I recommend that
you use as part of my WEIGHT LOSS PACKAGE.
