Of course muscles mass can be altered by hypnosis.This is not new, I was doing it thirty years ago, and have no doubt that others were doing it even before that. During body sculpting, I work to tone the muscles of a client, this because they are usually female. For males, increase of muscle mass would be proper, but the ladies wouldn't aprove of being given large muscles (G) Terry

>the power of hypnosis is blowing my mind.

Your mind is the control center which effects the change.
Hypnosis is only one of the access methods.

Exersize does not build muscle. Exersize breaks down muscle tissue.
If you continue that process, your mind decides to rebuild the muscles stronger.

It's your mind that controls things.

Thanks merlin and everyone who has answered this and my other posts.

This is amazing, the more I learn about it the more I want to persue hypnotherapy as a career and help others.

Hypnosis can be practised together with Tai Chi, which is a kind of physical movement that helps one to concentrate on his own muscular acitivities

I think a more useful question is, can 'muscle memory' be improved and reinforced through hypnosis? I've never read really deep into what 'muscle memory' actually is-I've just experienced it in my own, well, experience-but I can't help but wonder if the mind can sufficiently mimic something that comes from the repetition of a movement. Unless of course 'muslce memory' is completely in the mind.
