Breast Enlargement Hypnosis: Fact or Fiction?

Breast implant surgery is on the rise, as are a multitude of other surgeries for body augmentations to meet public demand to look better, or even look 'perfect'. There are now many websites in existence that claim their program can increase the size of your breasts (or penis) using only the natural state of hypnosis; but can these claims be justified?

The below is taken from: http://www.nationalnewstoday.com/

A study featured on the The Learning Channel and conducted at Manchester University in England is of particular interest to proponents of breast enlargement hypnosis. Researchers separated participants into two groups: one group did actual muscle-building activities and the other spent the same amount of time simply visualizing muscle growth. Remarkably, the group engaging in hypnotic visualizations saw almost half of the increase gained by the group engaging in physical activity. If visualizing alone is enough to build muscle by over 16%, then it is enough to build breast tissue by the same amount or more.

Interested in discovering how visualization can help increase bust size naturally, Allan R. Staib and D. R. Logan of the University of Houston studied the effects of daily, guided imagery sessions on breast size. Results showed an average increase of 2.11 inches as well as reduced waistlines in each of the participants.

A study conducted by Dr. Richard D. Willard at the Institute of Behavioral and Mind Sciences in Indiana, and published in the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, showed similar results. At the end of 12-weeks of daily self-hypnosis and visual imagery exercises all 22 women analyzed experienced an average increase of 2.11 inches, and reported more well-proportioned and firmer breasts.

And from http://www.enhanceyourbreasts.co.uk/Research.html an exert from the study, R D Willard, Breast Enlargement Through Visual Imagery and Hypnosis. "The American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis"

'At the end of 12 weeks, 28% of women had reached the goal they had set at the beginning of the program and desired no further enlargement. There were 85% who could tell that a significant enlargement in their breasts had been accomplished. 46% found it necessary to buy a larger brassiere. 42% had a loss in weight of greater than 4 pounds and still had an enlargement of their breasts. The average increase in circumference was 1.37 inches. The average increase in the vertical measurement was 0.67 inches and the average increase in horizontal measurement was 1.01 inches.'

But how exactly are these changes even possible? Cheetu.com provides this explanation:

Breast Enlargement Hypnosis works by allowing your body to communicate to the deepest of its inner levels, using its own language. This communication allows for the creation of cells, tissues, nerves and muscles, all made of the required hormones necessary to help with the development of your breasts.

It does though lead on to an obvious question. "How does hypnosis communicate with your body?"

The communication occurs by bridging across to your subconscious mind. In essence the complexity of the language of the body means that we only have control of 2% of all of its potential through the conscious section of our mind. It is the subconscious that has contact interaction with the body, and as a result it is the subconscious that allows the body to operate.

All functions no exceptions …

Hypnosis is by far and away the most effective method to communicate with your subconscious mind. The use of hypnosis can easily provide the commands needed to generate all the required elements of breast enlargement.

I can hear you already asking the next question, "How Does Breast Enlargement Hypnosis Help Create My Breasts?"

There are three simple steps to the process…

1. Relaxation

2. Visualization or Imagination

3. Indirect suggestions.

Relaxation:

During hypnosis, it is the conscious mind that is being hypnotized, and it is basically being told to take a subservient role to the subconscious mind. It is during hypnosis that the use of the subconscious mind allows us to communicate at the deeper levels.

Visualization:

It is often said that "a picture is worth a thousand words", and when you consider it, you will realize that a movie is just thousands of pictures put together. Visualization is a mental movie, where a series of pictures is created within the mind. This visualization is the best way to communicate with your subconscious mind, providing a clear image of what it is required to create.

By visualizing bigger and more attractive breasts, you can command your subconscious mind to create the breasts that you want. Through continual practice, you will begin to see the first results of the visualization in only two or three weeks.

Indirect Suggestions:

Indirect suggestions are messages that are sent to your subconscious mind, these messages though are designed so that they do not create any form of conflict, all that they do is to sink down into your inner mind. Despite the name, once the indirect suggestions are in the mind, they act directly.

Scientific research appears to support the claim then, but it does not show breathtaking alterations to every person that undertakes the program. So can Hypnosis really be used to change  your body? Yes. But some perspective and reality needs to be taken into consideration. It appears to work for some people, in-line with their genetic predisposition. If you are a cup size 32A the chances of jumping to a 32D appear to be minimal.

The question of body change was answered superbly by Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Hypnotherapist David Fairweather (website):

If you are looking to change your weight within the healthy range for your age as advised by a health advisor, then almost certainly hypnosis can help you. If you are in the midst of puberty and your body has yet to reach it’s genetic potential, then hypnosis may possibly help you maximize your genetic potential. If you are a 40 year old 5’2” male who would like to be a 25 year old 6’ male, then hypnosis absolutely cannot help you!

We are not lizards, we cannot grow new limbs, so it stands to reason that, once fully developed into adulthood we also cannot alter our matured bodies or fix age related baldness, simply by sending desires out to the universe and believing their fulfillment to be true. Sorry.

Your brain is certainly in control of everything about you including your ongoing cellular regeneration (healing, repairing cuts and bruises, fighting cancerous tumours etc) your biochemistry (creating and circulating seretonin, stress hormones, immune system functioning etc), and to some extent, your genetic potential, however, we are limited by the restrictions of reality.

Most psychosomatic conditions are triggered by stress, even blindness, deafness and physical immobility “caused” by the brain as a result of psychological trauma. Many somataform and psychosomatic conditions, can be resolved by accessing and engaging the sub-conscious mind (hysterical blindness for example), so stress related bald patches are open to treatment, the reversal of age related baldness, not so much.

Reality is where I do my therapeutic work. At times, that may involve working within a subjective inner reality, but, unless believing you have grown 10” or that you are not really bald, is sufficient success, then by all means you do not have to settle for my subjective truth, I’m sure you will find someone willing to take your money to strive for unrealistic physical enhancements, but please do not be offended that I would rather decline your business. Sorry.
