I too use self-hypnosis recordings (almost) daily. Some are my voice. Some are not. Some have music. Some do not. When I'm in trance, I don't notice the music at all, so whether it's annoying, repetitious…

Bernard Rapol replied to Nicol Merline's discussion 'Background Music'

For myself (I use selfhypnosis every day), I do not use music. If you have a tape, then it means you will be using that tape a lot. I can listen to a piece of music 10 times, 15 times, but after 20 times the same tune (even if it's the most…

I *always* use music (Dan Kern's) and I speak over a microphone into the mixer so they hear me and the music through the headphones. I would never go back to doing it the old way.

Michelle Braun replied to Nicol Merline's discussion 'Background Music'

I frequent powwows just for that reason. Sitting back under the socal night sky with the perfume of sage filling the air and the singing and drumming from the drum circles easily induces a trance. Add into the factor the elaborately dressed dancers…

Bernard Rapol replied to Nicol Merline's discussion 'Background Music'

I never use music. Just voice is more neutral. Every client is different. A person can love or hate a music piece. If he hates it or it disturbs him: no hypnosis. Only way this would work pretty good is to ask the client for a piece of music he…

About Me:: Originally I taught high school biology and math. I was introduced to hypnosis in the70's and was able to overcome a 30+ year case of eczema and an allergy in just 2 days despite being a HUGE skeptic of the hypnotic process, That experience led me into this field which I so love.

Helping others to resolve many matters and get relief via hypnosis is so gratifying. I don't feel like this is work as I enjoy the process so much.

Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy Results

Posted on June 29, 2011 at 3:40am 3 Comments 0 Favorites

I did a study of 20 overweight individuals over the course of 3 weeks -doing 4 hypnosis sessions. Average weight loss was 9.75 pounds. Weight loss ranged from 5 to 23.5 lbs. Follow up will occur 6 months and 1 year from the start date.

I did the study to compare this VGB technique with other protocols for weight loss. I am interested in knowing what others in the field find have found as most effective protocol and over the long term.
