8 Surprising Things You Can You Do With Hypnosis—And Why You’d Want To

You’re probably aware of hypnosis to stop smoking. Or to lose pounds. Maybe you’ve heard how hypnosis can explore past lives, but there are some things hypnosis can help you do that might surprise or amaze you.
1. Locate lost objects: If you were the one who put it away, or you witnessed it being put away, hypnosis might help. Even if the incident was years ago. Try it and see what happens.
2. Enjoy foods you’ve avoided: Brussel sprouts are healthy, and whole-grain bread is better for you than white, nutritionists tell us. But what if you just don’t like the taste? A little hypnosis and you might change all that, though if your resistance persists, check for an allergy. Sometimes your body just “knows.”
3. End cravings: The reverse of #2, this helps you turn down brownies, stop uncontrolled shopping, or even give up the boyfriend who keeps doin’ ya wrong.
4. Enjoy public speaking: They call it a fear greater than death. Too bad. Being an effective speaker can boost your career in your company, your industry, and beyond. My once-reticent clients gasp at the changes in themselves—and the benefits they reap. If stopping smoking stops draining money, becoming a good speaker puts money in the bank.
5. Exercise longer, stronger and more efficiently: Hypnosis can help your turn distaste for working out into a craving. Ask yourself: “What would exercising give me? What would it make possible in my life?” A talented hypnotherapist spins a powerful motivational story for your subconscious, making it all so desirable that you can’t wait to shop for running shoes.
6. Attract your life partner: You think finding the person of your dreams is about mesmerizing him or her? Nope. Start with yourself. Hypnosis for confidence, sex appeal, or immediate rapport gives you a feeling you’ve never had before. And that sense of self is very appealing to others. Try it out.
7. Get more done in less time: It’s not all about organizing your files or upgrading your technology. Productivity, effectiveness, and enjoying what you do all start in the mind. And specifically, in your subconscious mind. Uh-huh.
8. Relieve an itch. (Yeah, really): When is an itch not an itch? When it’s a habit. Keep scratching it and it feels itchier. And irritated. Irritated skin often itches (not to mention bleeds) so you’ve created a cycle. But you can tell your subconscious to disengage that phantom itching, allow your healing, and get back that healthy smoothness. © 2007 by Wendy Lapidus-Saltz. All rights reserved.
