Question on limits of self-hypnosis?

1

I’ve been very interested in self-improvement the past few years and I really like the self-hypnosis method of making yourself a better person. I really doubt the effectiveness of using self-hypnosis to make yourself thinner, or change your body type but I think it can be effective for other things.

I do have some questions though. Is it possible to program yourself (through or not through self-hypnosis) to make your body absorb or produce a certain chemical? I’m B-12 deficient and honestly I don’t think the shots are enough as I’ve been feeling very low-energy lately (the doctor won’t give me another blood test for 3 more months). Could I tell my body to start using the b-12, or could I simply tell myself that I’m very energetic, is this acceptable?

I think this method is good for improving mood, but could it be used for biological purposes?

No. Hypnosis is not going to change your body chemistry. Anything that you can convince yourself of with hypnosis you could be doing without. Hypnosis is a crutch for people to believe that something is doing more than it would otherwise– mostly we just convince ourselves that it works and it can have effects. If you believe it without hypnosis you won’t have to waste your time doing it.

If it were possible to change the uptake of B-12 just thinking about it, hypnosis would be able to do the same thing, but you can’t, so hypnosis will not do anything different.

Best of luck, and hope to not spoil too much about hypnosis. We can all dream.
