"Physical Change with Hypnosis" Experiment

[Mitsy Forever]

Hello Everyone!

My name is Mitsy and I'm new to the forum. This is my first post and I would appreciate if you guys are nice to me

I assume most of your already know what hypnosis is and perhaps have used it in yourself too. So I'll keep it short and come to the point.

The title of the thread says everything. I'm starting an experiment to change one of my physical aspects with hypnosis.

Is physical change even possible through hypnosis? Instead of wasting time on contemplating that question, coming up with arguments and excuses about why and why not it should or could or would work, I figured I would try it out myself and see with my own eyes.

I've tried hypnosis several times in the past with great success in areas such as money, relationships and behavioral change. However, this is my first attempt to use it for physical change.

So I'm going to change my height through hypnosis. I will use hypnosis to grow taller from 5'2.5 to 5'10. Why height? Because if this experiment really worked out then my time and effort would not have gone to waste by trying to change my nose shape which a doctor can change easily these days and which already has a very beautiful shape.

I will be very honest and very clear about one thing. I'm not here to debate whether hypnosis works or not because I know it does work from my own personal past experiences. I'm here for emotional support and to finally prove to myself (and hopefully to others) that hypnosis can really be used to change a physical body. I've read countless miraculous stories of people curing diseases, healing their livers, bald men growing hair and women growing bigger boobs with hypnosis. Its peaked my curiosity to such a level where I must find out the truth and the only way to do that is to do this experiment myself and see for myself. If you stick to this thread, at the end of the experiment you will find out the truth too.

I've bought all the materials needed from a professional and very well respected hypnotist. (I wont use their names because that would be advertising). There are 7 mp3s to listen to one every day and an instructions booklet that explains why its possible to change your height through hypnosis.

The experiment will run for 247 days, from 04-28-08 to 12-31-08.

So heres what I'm going to do.

Starting from Monday,April 28, I'm going to listen to one mp3 once every morning and once every night before I fall asleep. This routine has worked for me in the past too and since I'm very familiar with it, I'll use it for this experiment too.

I will post on the forum an update every day and let you guys know how its going on. I'm not going to post my pictures over the internet but I promise I will be 100% honest about the results of this experiment. If it worked, I will say it worked, if it failed I will say it failed. I've nothing to gain or lose by telling the truth so you have to trust my words.

I could do the experiment quietly at home too but posting on the forum will help me stay committed to this task for 247 days.

If anyone has a question, please feel free to ask.

The experiment is starting on Monday, April 28.

And I say, "Go for it Mitsy!" You have me curious too. I would like to know the results too if and when you get them.

I am famillar with the concept too, and have studied this area.

Would you be interested in adding some additional techniques/tools that I know of to help you out? I'm interested in using you as my guinea pig to see if they work as far as increasing height and will help..

And, I'll try to chime every now and then with encouragement and useful info that will help you out if you like...because I feel you will almost certainly encounter a little doubt or discouragement which I think is normal and not necessarily an indication this doesn't work...

So good luck, and take care Mitsy!

I am very interested in your progress, Mitsy. May I ask what your age is? I would like to know if this is possible for older (=past growth age) people, too.

Hypnosis has indeed been shown to be able to have significant effect on bone growth (although not in the context of growing taller, but in the context of helping broken bones heal much faster). Here is the study from Harvard Medical School:

Harvard Gazette: Hypnosis helps healing

The same article also talks about hypnosis has been shown to accelerate the healing of surgical wounds (post-operation). So clearly hypnosis can cause physical change in its subjects.

Also very famous are the "hypnotic blisters" cases. The hypnotised person is told that he is going to be burned with a very hot object. The hypnotist then touches the hypnotised person with a room-temperature object. Nevertheless, the hypnotised person immediately develops a blister where he has been touched, as if he had really been burned.

My final thoughts:

I don't want to sound discouraging. I do think that it may well be possible to use hypnosis to induce the body to grow taller. On the other hand, I suspect that this isn't really going to be worth the time & effort, unless you really need the height for some significant reason - eg you are a competitive basketball player or something.

If you just want to grow a little taller because you think you look better if you're a little taller, I would suggest instead that you consider using hypnosis to alter your self-image (ie make yourself happy with your height as it is).

[Mitsy Forever]

Thank you for the encouragement guys. I appreciate it.

@nightdiamond: Please feel free to suggest any additional techniques/tools for this experiment, I would love to have them in my kitty.

@ Arboretor: I'm 21 years old and I haven't grown an inch since 17. So whatever height growth takes place in my body now would be the direct result of this experiment.

@Acting Like Godot: Thank you for the links. As I said in my first post, hypnosis has worked wonderfully for me in the past and that has encouraged me to try it on my body. I'm aware that I might be wasting my time and effort on this but I also know that I will regret it forever if I don't do this. As Mark Twain said, "Twenty years from now you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do then by the ones you did do."

So it might or might not work but the only sure way to find this out is to do it. The hypnotist said it takes from 30 to 90 days to see the first difference but I'm giving it 247 days just in case and since I'm a very disciplined person I know I can stick to this for the next 247 days. Posting this on the forum and getting encouragement from you guys will also help me stick to it.

So to sum it up, at the end of this year I might or might not have the height, but I'll definitely have peace of mind.

Hi, Mitsy. I wish you well with your experiment.

May I suggest that you add Pilates and/or Alexander Technique to your mix? These both give me a very real sense of standing and feeling taller in my life, plus they feel very good in other ways, too.

[All Is Well]

I have nothing specific to add. Just want to wish you all the best with the experiment.

[boat]

Hey Mitsy, best wishes with the experiment and I hope you keep us up to date. If it helps encourage you in any way, I've used visualization/belief to alter my physical appearance. Specifically, I reduced my acne and got rid of a liver spot I had (I'm only 19 so that was really embarrassing). Best of luck!

[Mitsy Forever]

Thank you everyone for the support.

@ Angela :I know about Pilates but I have no idea about Alexander technique you mentioned. Would you please elaborate.

@Boat: Yes your story helped Finding out other people have had successes with these techniques too really helps. Thanks for sharing.

@All Is Well: These best wishes and support is the only thing I came here for. It will help me stick to the task.

I'm starting it from tomorrow. In my past experiences with hypnosis, many weird things happened along the way before I finally achieved my goal. Since this experiment will last for 247 days, I'm sure a bunch of them are waiting for me to happen again. I will keep everyone updated.

[Arboretor]

Mitsy, please tell about your other experiences with hypnosis. What did you accomplish? How exactly did you do it? I am interested to get any first hand experience you can give.

[sean83]

Hey misty, I read a post of a guy on a different forum who grew almost an inch using affirmations in conjunction with holosync cds, and he was well into his forties.

[Mitsy Forever]

@ sean83: Thank you for letting me know that. Its encouraging.

@Arboretor I've done several experiments with hypnosis over the past few years, some just for fun, some to get serious results. The latest one is from last year, 2007.

I wanted to attend a few drawing and painting workshops where they teach you the renaissance and classical drawing techniques, but these workshops cost alot. My total came up to be $8,120 dollars.

Since I am a full time student and living on my own, I could not afford that. I also didn't want to ask my parents because they are already paying for my college. But I could not get the thought of those workshops out of my head so I had to do something.

I thought of using hypnosis and visualization techniques to solve my problem. I've several recordings and mostly they start by asking you to relax and reach the part of your brain where everything is possible in the now. I took one recording and after that part I added my own affirmations.

"I've paid $8,120 dollars for my workshops, I'm attending them and I'm loving it."

I listened to these recordings every morning as soon as I woke up and every night right before I fell asleep.

This went on for 37 days. On the 38th day my family gave me a surprise visit. My sister was smiling all the time so I knew there must be a good news. My dad called all of us together and told this story.

A man that worked for him 3 years ago had scammed him out of $56,000 dollars and ran away to another state. My dad is a very patient man so he never pursued the scammer and said "Whatever happens, happens for the best" and forgot all about his lost money.

A week ago my dad found that man sitting outside his home on the stairs. He looked ghastly and when he saw my dad he started crying. My dad took him inside and asked him what had happened. The man told him that for the past few weeks he was having nightmares about snakes, spiders and insects crawling out of a pile of money and digging, biting and eating his flesh. He said in his heart he knew whose money it was but he kept ignoring the dreams and thought they'll go away on their own. When they didn't, he went to see his doctor who told him how alot of stress and unfinished business in day to day life can cause these nightmares. He gave him stress relievers which instead of decreasing, increased the intensity and vividness of his dreams. It came to a point where he would see the snakes and spiders in his naps too. He became so miserable that one day he got up, went to the bank, got the money, sat in his car and stopped only infront of my dad's house. He said it wasn't the dreams but the regret of stealing someone's money that made him come back.

My dad gave each of us siblings $9,000. The next day I signed up for my workshops and paid in full. In the afternoon my friend dropped by and asked for an urgent loan of $800 dollars. I gave him the money. When I opened my mails I found a letter from deaf children's organization asking for donations. It was the first time in my life I ever received a donation letter from an organization on my own name. I donated my last $80.

Overall the money stayed in my pocket for a single day. It went the way it came and I never questioned the Providence why. My parents have always taught us to only tell the Providence what to do, but never tell her how to do it and never question her after it is done. So I never questioned why I was given the extra money cause I knew for whoever it is given, will come and take it and they both did.

Hi Mitsy,

You almost described exactly, one of the techniques I was talking about posting for you... it involves the 'right before bed part' .......
There seems to be something about doing these things right before bed or going to sleep on regular basis that can at times produce almost errie results. My own personal experience included.

In that case my suggestion was to have you say over and over again that you are 5.5, as you drift off to sleep, picturing it with a strong feeling of joy... but you've seem to know this one already

I suggested the 5.5 first to get you there halfway and then move on to the remaining 5 inches to achieve the height you're looking for.

Great example you posted, and I'll be watching 'my guinea pig'

Take care....

[Arboretor]

That's a great story, Mitsy. Thanks for sharing it!

[All Is Well]

I love your story. Thanks for sharing.
I am now joining the LOA experiment (DIY) and find that the technique you describe is very similar to waht we are doing now, i.e. relaxing and getting into alpha state and visualizing and affirmation etc. Right now I am doing one 20 minute session a day. After reading your story, I might start doing it twic a day - one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Take a look at here. You might pick up some useful tips.

[awakentransform]

Mitsy,

I loved your story and your positive approach to life. As a hypnotherapist myself, I eagerly anticipate your results. Most of my clients come for emotional and spiritual issues. There are truly unlimited applications to hypnosis, limited mainly by our own creative boundaries. As you probably know already, your enthusiasm and persistence is a big key to your success. Congratulations!

[muah]

Cool. If you grow an inch it'll be great. Thanks for sharing this with us. Good luck.

[Dannyboy1]

I've never committed to a 30 day challenge, let alone a 247 day one! You've inspired me. I'm going to think of something and commit the 30 days. I've just got to pick something I really want to change...

I love hypnosis as well, but I have the bad habit of listening to a different one every day instead of focusing on just one. Probably makes it take alot longer, huh?

[Mitsy Forever]

Thank you everyone for the support

Today is the 3rd day and so far I've listened to the mp3s 5 times. I will keep everyone updated with the progress.

Dannyboy1 yes you have to listen to the same one everyday so enough energy can be accumulated to make that wish come come true. Its all about energy accumulation, the more you gather the sooner your wish comes true.

awakentransform if you have any good tips for me please add since you are a hypnotherapist yourself.

I would like to add something here:

When you start using hypnosis to achieve something, only two things will happen. Either your wish will come true or you will simply lose the desire for it and it won't matter to you anymore weather it comes true or not. I've seen this happening to me over and over again. In both cases it has been helpful and made my life much much easier and fun.

Thank you for reading

It's really serious stuff. I'm with you.

Hello Misty Forever

In your very first post you said

.....I've tried hypnosis several times in the past with great success in areas such as money ....

Thats exactly what I was thinking of doing with selfhypnosis recently. Would you please share with me how you used selfhypnosis in area of acquiring money. I desperately need to do something about it.
