At this point it is fairly well known how traditional and conversational hypnosis can aid weight loss. Yet for some people these kinds of treatment can a little too abstract to comprehend. Imagine for a second that you knew nothing of hypnotherapy and someone told you that they can help you lose weight simply by talking in a certain manner to you. You’d think they were crazy, right?

Recently there has been a unique weight loss solution released called Gastric Band Hypnotherapy. This is a much more tangible form of hypnotherapy in so much as the patient is talked through multiple sessions as if they are having a real gastric band operation performed. For most people this is much more “real” and easier to imagine as it replicates a real life medical procedure. The idea is that once the subconscious mind becomes convinced that the stomach really has had a gastric band fitted and then desires food in an according manner. This works in the same way an appetite suppressant would, only it doesn’t require constantly shelling out money every month for a fresh supply of pills.

The Gastric Band Hypnotherapy Pack contains four MP3s (this is a digital program only). Each MP3 talks you through a different part of the procedure: pre-op, the operation itself, and post-op. The fourth MP3 contains a session reversing the effects although most people probably won’t want to use this particular MP3. It also comes with a handy eBook guide on how to get the most from the sessions and adjust to your new lifestyle.

Clinical hypnotherapist Jon Rhodes DHyp, who is well known for his work with HypnoBusters and Free Hypnosis Treatment, is the man behind this unique weight loss solution. Thus far Gastric Band Hypnotherapy has had overwhelmingly positive reviews with many people stating that they’ve lost upwards of 20lbs in a month. It has even received mainstream attention across the internet when Wendy Stewart revealed that she had lost 32lbs in just two months by using Gastric Band Hypnotherapy.

If you’ve tried all the other weight loss solutions with little success then it may be time to take a different approach. Gastric Band Hypnotherapy helps you to change your eating habits so that you desire less food which is a surefire recipe for weight loss. It is available now for a one-off payment of just $69.95 at http://www.gastricbandhypnotherapy.net.

Covert hypnotism has grown in use and popularity exponentially over the last few years thanks to the amount of information available on the internet, as well as great courses like The Power of Conversational Hypnosis. In fact even most hypnotherapists now use conversational hypnosis within their treatment programs. There are some key differences between covert hypnotism and traditional hypnotism and in this article we going to look at these differences and what they mean.

Covert or Overt?

The biggest difference between covert hypnotism and traditional hypnotism is the fact that one is done covertly (hidden) and the other is done overtly (out in the open). However as I mentioned above, more and more hypnotherapists now incorporate conversational hypnosis techniques into their therapeutic sessions as they can be very effective.

Speed of Induction

Covert hypnosis inductions are generally much quicker than those of traditional hypnosis. In traditional hypnosis where a hypnotherapists is treating a client they often have between thirty minutes to an hour in a single session. This gives them the opportunity to take their time and induce a very deep hypnotic trance in their client. However in covert hypnosis you may only have a few minutes to talk to the person you wish to hypnotize so the inductions tend to be much quicker, although not as deep as in traditional hypnosis.

Method of Language

You will probably be familiar of at least a “parody” of traditional hypnosis from older movies and television programs where the hypnotist is taking control of someone. Of course we know that a hypnotist can never control or brainwash a person in that sense now. As they hypnotize the person they are very direct, “You will not smoke anymore” is a good example of a direct command. However society has changed and this is no longer as effective as people are a lot more cynical and questioning of authority.

Covert hypnotism uses much softer, more indirect language as, by its very nature, it is more covert. For instance, to take the smoking example from above and convert it into indirect language you may get something more like, “You realize how expensive smoking is, how it badly it tastes and how unhealthy it is. Every cigarette shaves five minutes off your life, so why would you do it? When you smoke you’re taking valuable time off your life”. This is indirect and it gets the person questioning why they would ever want to smoke in the first place.

Eyes Wide Shut or Open?

If you’ve ever taken part, or seen, a traditional hypnosis session you will know that the client is asked to close their eyes. This is to help avoid visual distractions. Yet in covert hypnosis the person being hypnotized obviously has their eyes open. If you asked someone to close their eyes and then talked in a smooth flowing, hypnotic manner it would be crystal clear to them that you were trying to hypnotize them which is undesirable for the purposed of covert hypnotism.

Trance can still be achieved without eye closure. Signs of hypnotic trance include relaxed facial muscles, slow and steady breathing, speaking more slowly than normal in a lower pitch and blinking less often and more slowly. There are many others signs of hypnotic trance which I will soon be writing about.

I trust that this article has helped you to understand some of the key differences between covert hypnotism and traditional hypnotism. Both are valuable skills that are well worth learning. If you’d like to learn covert hypnotism for yourself I recommend The Power of Conversational Hypnosis course.

Covert hypnosis refers to a process of hypnotizing someone without their knowledge. It relies upon the hypnotist using a set of predetermined phrases, gestures, facial expressions and vocal tones that allow them to implant suggestions in the subconscious mind of the person they are talking to. Used by leading figures in the business world, medical professionals, advertising agencies and motivational speakers around the globe, conversational hypnosis is a widely respected and scientifically proven technique.

However it is also the favored technique of “street hypnotists”, “stage hypnotists” and people with all the ethical fortitude of a starving rattlesnake. Generally these reprobates like to use their ‘power’ to convince unsuspecting victims that they would: A) really like to sleep with them; B) give them all their money; C) sign over the deeds to their house or D) all of the above. Unfortunately the image they portray of the conversational hypnotist as some sort of confidence trickster rather fuels the commonly held misconception of conversational hypnosis.

This is a source of frustration for those who recognise the potential of conversational hypnosis as a source of both great personal development and change as well as a fantastic tool for motivational speaking. The Fact that many within the Conversational Hypnosis field often refer to it as ‘Covert Hypnosis’ unfortunately contributes to its image as a “dark art”. It also goes someway to explaining why many are enticed to learn the techniques involved for less than honorable reasons.

Whilst the basic concepts of conversational hypnosis are easily accessible to most people, to truly master conversational hypnosis requires both commitment and some study. Until relatively recently exorbitant costs have meant high quality training has only really been available to professionals. However there are now a number of good quality courses available online. Whilst purchasing such courses inevitably mean some investment, developing the most powerful mind control technique known to science is worth the effort for many. Conversational Hypnotists can not only get personal satisfaction from using their skills but often also command high commissions for their services.

Another reason covert hypnosis is sometimes considered to be based upon questionable morality is it’s ability to work when the person being hypnotized is completely unaware of the process. Indeed conversational hypnotism works best under these conditions. Some hypnotherapists and others within the psychological treatment community argue that it is fundamentally wrong to carry out any kind of intervention without the subjects agreement. However covert hypnosis has already been proven to be exceptionally effective in treating some long term debilitating psychological conditions, particularly addictions. Conversational hypnotherapists argue that the treatment process often covers more than one session and, providing that the subject has given their permission to the participate in the entire treatment program their awareness of specific hypnotic treatment sessions is irrelevant. They also point out that when you ask someone if they would like to rid themselves of their gambling addiction at the cost of having a few conversations with a therapist most leap at the chance.

As mentioned previously one of the most important aspects of successful conversational hypnosis is to ensure that the subjects remain unaware of the process they are undergoing. The better quality courses teach you the skills and techniques you need to use covert hypnosis subtly. This can take some time to master as, inevitably, some of speech patterns used can seem a little awkward to the ear and can potentially raise the subject’s suspicions. If they become aware that you are trying to manipulate them they will become closed and defensive. This will make the process much harder (though by no means impossible).

So as you can see truth behind covert hypnosis is not that it is some cheap trick favored by charlatans and perverts but rather a respected and empirically referenced psychological technique used by professionals the world over. It’s image as a questionable practice used by drop outs as a substitute for social skills owes much to its misuse as averse its genuine potential and practical application.
