There are many areas in which can be found solutions to problems of physical unfitness, being overweight and even clinical obesity, but most of the more popular methods tend to focus on the physical side of things. There is, however a highly potent solution to being overweight that has little to do directly with the physical and everything to do with the mental areas.
This is often referred to as weight loss therapy but is more commonly known as hypnotherapy for weight loss. This is a growing solution as more people become aware of the mind’s potential to ultimately control what the body does.
For way too long, most people pooh poohed the very idea that the mind had any real input into a person becoming overweight. They preferred to believe what the saw in that it was all down to eating a bad diet and getting little or no physical exercise. While these two aspects of a person’s life are of course very much a part of the reason for gaining weight, they are not the only reason.
The human mind is an intricate and still little understood marvel of nature, but little by little, experts in the field are gradually unraveling its many mysteries. One area that is fast becoming better understood by those that are open minded enough to accept more than just what they see, is the way in which the mind interacts with the physical body to regulate and manipulate its overall health.
If you can drop your skepticism and blinkered viewpoints (if you have them) for a moment and really open yourself up to the possibilities here, you would begin to realize that a person’s health really is ultimately controlled by their mind. It makes perfect sense when you think about it. What do you think is working away in the background keeping our heart beating, our lungs drawing air, our digestive system processing and eliminating the food we eat, our blood circulating through our body, our body temperature regulated and a thousand and one other aspects of keeping us alive?
It is our mind, or more correctly, the unconscious part of our mind. It all happens without us having to consciously think of any of it. For if we had to, we would soon die as our conscious thoughts would be so cluttered with remembering to trigger the next heartbeat, digest that piece of pie we just ate, get the oxygen that our last expansion of our lungs just drew into our body into the bloodstream and to the muscles that need it and so on and so forth, that we would easily skip one important area like maybe forgetting to trigger an immune response to a sudden viral attack when someone standing next to us sneezed.
The conscious mind is designed to think conscious thoughts, to make calculations, make decisions and to create our lives as we go. It actually cannot multi-task very well at all. Try thinking about two or more different tasks at once and you will see that it is almost impossible to have your undivided attention p;aced on more than one or maybe two things at the same time!
But your unconscious can multi-task and keep hundreds of processes running smoothly at the same time, which is how you stay alive. That unconscious part influences how our bodies work. For the purposes of keeping our physical body weight at the right level, it has a program that it follows and if nothing influences that program, then we will stay at the correct weight.
But if that unconscious program is affected by external circumstances (and it can also be influenced by our conscious state of mind) then things can get out of kilter and we can gain weight or in some cases actually lose weight and become unhealthily underweight. It doesn’t just happen by itself, the controlling state of mind cause the imbalance and that manifests physically in our eating more, or eating more of the wrong foods and wanting to exercise less, or become very lazy or lethargic, slowing our metabolism down and causing the excess food to be stored as an excess of fat.
Where the weight loss therapist comes into the equation is in the assisting of the person to get back into balance by using mental techniques through hypnosis or deep relaxation to identify what is causing the mental imbalance and put things right again. This can take several sessions of therapy to bring about a full recovery, but once the mental blockage has been removed, the mind can once again find its correct balance and the program that controls the person’s physical weight can once again work the way it was designed to.
The result is seen in the person returning to a more healthy diet, eating less and gaining energy and the will to become more active again, which boosts the metabolism and cause the body to burn off the stored up fat. The result is gradual weight loss until the person’s correct weight is regained.
There will be many reading this that simply will not accept it or believe it can work in this way. All I can say to you is that you can only believe what you want to believe and no one can force belief upon you. If you want to accept this and that it actually does work, then you will be making a shift in your own perception. Where you once only accepted the blinkered perception that “seeing is believing”, you can now open your eyes to what is more true as “believing is seeing”.
If we believed only the testimony of our eyes as in “seeing is believing”, we would accept many things that were not true. If you stand at the shore and watch a ship sink into the horizon, your eyes tell you that the ship is sinking or falling off the edge of the world. This was the belief for millenia until it was proved that the world is in fact round. If you stand by a railroad track and look into the distance, the tracks appear to converge. In reality they do not. Your eyes are telling you falsely! Similarly, when you look at the way in which weight loss therapy works and only look at the surface results, your eyes will tell you falsely, which is only what you can see. When you come to realize that to have faith means believing in things that you cannot see, but must accept them as truth, then you have taken a step forward in your own evolutionary progress.
Whether you believe it or not, the fact that mind controls what happens to our bodies is real and the results that people achieve by believing cannot be refuted or dismissed as hokum. You choose on which side of the fence you wish to sit, because you have a mind which enables you to think for yourself and form your own decisions.

Most people are fundamentally against eating vitamin supplements and using herbal supplements to help maintain their health. They say that “a versatile diet is all I need”. The problem is that most of these people don’t eat a versatile diet, and because our vegetables are power-grown we no longer get enough vitamins and minerals from them. Most of the fruits we eat are imported, and they are picked from the trees when they still are raw. They don’t develop as much antioxidants as they should, and as a result, we don’t get enough antioxidants from them. This is where using a body detox kit on a regular basis will come in to the picture.
