Is Weight-Lifting going to affect your Height Increase with hypnosis?

by Laura De Giorgio on December 7, 2010

Fionn from Germany writes, “I purchased your Growing Taller Hypnosis set a few years ago, but I was sceptical and so I completely stopped listening to it.  I am 23 years old now and in the meantime have read a lot about suggestions/self-hypnosis, paranormal faculties and many more very interesting topics. I have finally arrived at a point where I can say that I truely believe in my inner process that makes my body grow taller now.

I wanted to know your opinion about this:
I am working out (weightlifting, i.e. benchpress, squats, …) three times a week with heavy weights and was wondering whether I should stop or at least use lighter weights during my growth process. I am not quite sure, since growing taller now is taking place in a kind of different way (compared to my growth spurt during puberty), at least I think so.

So what do you think about this, what would you recommend or what would you do in my situation?

My mind is clear and focused now, my desire is burning like thousand suns and I know it’s happening now!

Thank you!”

When you are using the power of your mind to increase the height of your body, your body will grow in the same way it grew in the first place.  You are not asking your body to do anything unnatural or different than it did when your body grew in puberty.  The process your body goes through is the same.  You are merely engaging the process to continue by communicating to your body your desire for your body to keep growing taller – by subjectively experiencing yourself as being taller.

Evolutionary, throughout history, bodies of humans (and for that matter of animals also), would change in response to meeting a certain need.  Different abilities would also unfold in response to meeting a certain need.  We are constantly influencing our bodies as well as development of different abilities within us either consciously or unconsciously by what we choose to pay attention to.  We are constantly stimulating changes within us by thinking and feeling in specific ways.  Most of the time we are doing these things spontaneously and unconsciously.  You may read a book or watch a movie, and you are processing the information in your mind and in your emotions, sometimes comparing it to your past experiences, sometimes simply allowing your mind to stretch expand and explore the possibilities that you may not have experienced before.  And then by the time you’ve finished reading a book or watching a movie, you may feel a little bit different, because you’ve just experienced a self-hypnosis session, even though you may never have thought of it that way.

And the only difference in practicing self-hypnosis with recordings is that you have a specific goal in mind and you are choosing to pursue it intentionally.  Instead of perhaps watching a movie with Alice in Wonderland seeing a bottle with a label “drink me”, and watching her drink the magic potion and then growing taller, and subconsciously wondering how would that feel like, and then imagining and feeling yourself growing taller together with the Alice, and then perhaps discovering that you are a little bit taller after watching that scene – if you allowed yourself to immerse yourself in that imagery and feeling – in self-hypnosis session you decide to envision yourself as growing taller with a specific goal – of becoming taller.

Your body is fluid, flexible and if you put aside any of your analytical thoughts of what may or may not be possible according to whatever you may have learned so far about physical matter – if you just allow yourself to immerse yourself in the experience of growing taller, you may notice visible difference after your session.  There are actors who can increase few inches in height simply by getting into a role of a character they have identified to be few inches taller.  Acting is just another name for self-hypnosis, for playing the games of pretending, for allowing yourself to immerse yourself in particular subjective experience.  And the more you play with your mind, the more you allow yourself to immerse yourself in roles you’d love to experience in your life – in a playful way, as if you are conducting an experiment, allowing whatever happens to happen – the faster results will you get.  It is when you are straining and struggling that you are putting a halt on the process because you are not really allowing yourself to simply immerse yourself in the experience and enjoy it.

Now, if you think of your spine as decompressing and elongating when you lay down, and compressing during the day due to weight, sure if you weren’t using the power of your mind, the additional weight you put on your body when you are doing weight-lifting, would to some extent further compress your spine and shorten it, making you appear shorter.  Then again, you may as well engage in stretching exercises to decompress your spine – before and after you do weight-lifting.  After all, you should be doing stretching exercises before and after any strenuous physical activity.

From the perspective of hypnosis, of using the power of your mind to grow taller, ultimately it doesn’t matter whether you are doing weight-lifting or not.  If you look around there are plenty of tall body builders.  If you keep on envisioning your body as growing taller, or rather if you keep on subjectively experiencing your body as growing taller until it is as tall as you desire it, your body will grow taller, whether you’re weight-lifting or not.  And even now, if you keep on measuring your body at different times of the day, and on different days, your body may sometimes be a little bit shorter, and at other times a little bit taller.  It may be a little bit taller when you get up because your spine has decompressed, it can be a little bit taller when you are feeling good, when you are feeling naturally high and happy and tall, it can be a little bit taller when you straighten up your body and walk tall.

And when you are weight-lifting, you can imagine your body being flexible, elastic like rubber, and elongating each time you release the weights, being taller than it was before.  An analogy to this would be stretching your fists tight, as tight as you can, when you want to experience deep relaxation.  Or you can think of a pendulum swinging one way and then another.  You can use any imagery than works for you and helps you to envision and subjectively experience yourself having your desired outcome.
