Permanent Weight Loss & Your Subconscious Pictures

Copyright 2005 Burris MIND/FITNESS

The second component of Burris MIND/FITNESS is your

subconscious pictures. I will explain how to replace your

negative subconscious images into positive images through

the practice of controlled visualization. According to the

New England Journal of Medicine, visualizing is the fourth

most frequently used form of alternative healing. You are

now about to learn how to change your existing subconscious

pictures that keep you anchored to your poor eating

behavior.

Several studies have shown that the body makes little

distinction between a vivid mental experience and an actual

physical one. Your subconscious images are simply

corresponding pictures of your self talk. Choosing to think

in pictures may seem strange at first, but it is a powerful

way to cut through the chatter in your head and a realistic

source for communicating with your subconscious mind. It is

surprisingly easy to develop your own weight-goal imagery.

Through regular practice you will become more and more

comfortable in delving into your imagination. Just think of

it as creative constructive daydreaming.

Most people are not aware that there is always a

corresponding picture for their thoughts or self-talk; the

fact is they take place so fast you are not aware of them.

If you did not use pictures, you would not be able to

answer the simplest question. Think about it. If I were to

ask you: “What did you have for breakfast this morning?”

You immediately repeat my question to yourself which in

turn triggers a picture in your subconscious mind of what

you had for breakfast. It is only after you have triggered

this picture that you are capable of answering my question.

You will find that your subconscious more clearly defines

its pictures from questions than from statements. As an

example, say to yourself body relax. You can see this has

little or no effect. Now turn this statement into a

question: What do I need to do to relax? The subconscious

mind will now produce an active picture. For example, you

might see yourself relaxing in your favorite chair or

taking a warm soothing bath or possibly getting a massage.

You are able to see the masseuse’s expert hands gently

soothe the tension from you body. You can feel the

wonderful sensation as your body begins to relax and you

feel as if you are floating on air. Now I am sure you

understand the power of visualization and how you can use

your self-questions to bring it about.

The most important picture you will ever change in your

subconscious mind is the picture you now have of your body

or how you perceive your self-image. All people with a

weight problem have accepted a picture of themselves as

being overweight. Until you change this picture, your

subconscious mind will use this existing body picture as a

guideline for how you should look. This is why it is

imperative that you change the image you have of yourself

before you begin a weight loss program.

You will start your training in recreating subconscious

imagery by recreating your existing body picture. Before

starting your imagery training, it is important that you

become totally relaxed in order to focus your mind. Once

you have accomplished this, you will find it is quite easy

to engage all of your senses, making it possible for you to

create a new body image. Once you feel you are completely

relaxed, I want you to see a picture of your body in your

subconscious mind.

When you have your body in focus, I want you to reshape it,

to exactly how you want it to look.

See your new body down to the smallest detail; make it

become so real that it seems that you have already

accomplished your weight goal. Once you have your new body

picture completed, place yourself in a physical activity

that you know you would enjoy and will be beneficial in

helping you attain your new weight goal. This activity can

be anything from a brisk walk to an aerobics class, to

playing tennis, to completing an unfinished task. Your new

body is now capable of performing any activity that you

find enjoyable.

Earlier I spoke about the emotional states that drive you

to overeat or eat when you are not hungry. Fear, guilt and

anger are responsible for the emotional states of

depression and low self-esteem. When creating your new

self-image, you must exchange these negative emotional

states for your most powerful emotional state. Love is your

most powerful emotional state especially when directed to

your new self-image. It is essential that you practice

reproducing your new active body imagery on a daily basis.

It is only through daily practice that your new body

picture will become a permanent part of your subconscious,

thus allowing you to reproduce this picture without a

moments thought. The power of Burris MIND/FITNESS is in the

ability to change programmed emotional states that do not

work for you, for programmed emotional states that DO work

for you.

Regardless of weather your goal is a change in diet for

weight loss, an increase in your fitness program or to take

control of an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia.

In the end the question you need to ask yourself is…Am I

completely happy with the mind running itself or do I need

to take control of it? If your answer is I need to take

control of it, then Burris MIND/FITNESS is the answer.
