Self-healing in inner awareness is used for weight control and obesity by healing or removing the underlying mental & emotional elements that contribute to being overweight. The reason that weight control is so difficult is because it is intimately associated with the workings of our inner mind. It is in the subconscious that all of those well known impediments to weight control reside. While we may want to consciously control our weight, & follow a sensible program of exercise & nutrition, there are inner elements of our mind that can oppose, invalidate, or sabotage our goal of good health. It is very common for a patient to come into the office for weight control and then reveal that there are many past & present difficulties in their lives which are causing inner stress. Those inner elements causing stress can be feelings, thoughts, self-perceptions, fears, doubts, sorrow & regret, frustration with life, or diminished self-esteem that exist in the recesses of the subconscious mind. Usually they have been there for a long time. Most of these elements cannot be discovered by the conscious mind; they can only be brought into awareness by accessing the subconscious mind with self-healing & deep relaxation. Most people who have difficulties with their weight become convinced that they are weak, or unmotivated, or lack the proper will power. They may lose weight successfully & then put it all, and more, back on later. Using just the conscious mind, they are unable to achieve complete & continued success with their weight program, so they feel intense guilt, & are full of despair & hopelessness. Naturally those disturbing feelings & self-impressions make a person feel unhappy, frustrated, discouraged, & the result is the desire to keep eating even more.

Self-healing in inner awareness gives a person the ability to find the innermost motivations for your troubled relationship with food & weight, nutrition & exercise. Self-healing can be used to eliminate any daily stress that causes a person to overeat. Deep relaxation is used to reprogram your responses to challenging situations so you respond with calm & confidence instead of fear & uncertainty. Removing daily stress helps many people get their appetite & overeating habits under control. As already mentioned, many people who are overweight also have deep inner uncomfortable feelings, troubled thoughts, fears, and emotional conflicts that create a more powerful deep inner stress. This repressed stress has been there for years, and remains deeply hidden in the subconscious mind and the body. To keep this discomfort out of our awareness, we distract ourselves from the inner discomfort by frequent or continuous eating, sometimes to the point of major obesity. Using self-healing in inner awareness, the individual will sometimes discover that the source of inner stress is one's unresolved, highly disturbing feelings from the past. These feelings are uncovered while self-healing, and then rapidly dissolved away with a process of emotional discharge & inner stress release. Once this is done, the inner tension is gone for good & the person no longer feels that need to eat incessantly.

Other sources of inner tension & stress are past or present relationships that have been frustrating, unsuccessful, antagonistic, controlling, neglectful, traumatic, or even abusive. People who have endured, or still might be enduring, these types of personal relationships suffer intense emotional turmoil, extreme inner stress, pervasive negative self-perceptions, and diminished self-esteem. One escape from these discomforts & misery is to eat excessively & calm the body with sugar, fats & starches. To eliminate this type of overeating, it is necessary to resolve all of the emotional chaos and inner tension. Self-healing in inner awareness is very effective in removing that inner stress & emotional disharmony created by destructive or dysfunctional relationships. Painful feelings are acknowledged & then dissolved away; once they have been discharged then they are gone forever. Self-healing in inner awareness also restores positive self-perceptions, as well as confident & cheerful self-esteem. Once all of this healing work is done, then the individual develops an inner calm, subconscious harmony, mental confidence, enthusiasm for life, and an enriched Spirit. It is then possible to follow a successful program of proper weight management, good nutrition, & reasonable exercise.

Self-healing in inner awareness is an excellent choice, and powerful tool, that anyone can use in conjunction with their weight & nutrition program. It is a great way to provide ongoing motivation to eat properly, and to continually maintain a moderate exercise plan. Self-healing in inner awareness is certainly a "must" choice for individuals who are are unable to successfully lose weight, maintain the proper weight, have become significantly obese, or those who have never been fully successful with health/nutrition programs.
