Discover Effortless Weight Loss with HBLU: A Journey Beyond Unconscious Self-Sabotage

Learn How HBLU Helps

“When you know what to do but don’t do it, you’re running unconscious self-sabotage.” Judith A. Swack, Ph.D.


The secret to effortless weight loss and maintenance is to care for your body with love, respect, and appreciation instead of hatred, loathing, and neglect. Easier said than done? Perhaps, but not as hard as you think if you have the right knowledge and techniques.

Willpower and conscious intention actually have very little to do with weight loss or maintenance. Whenever you ‘know better’ than to do that (negative behavior) or wish you weren’t doing that while actually doing that, you are at the mercy of unconscious self-sabotage patterns. These patterns supersede the authority and intentions of your conscious, rational mind and take over your behavior. When your conscious mind and unconscious patterns disagree, the result is struggle and conflict inside and negative behavior outside.


Examples of behavior caused by unconscious self-sabotage patterns include:


  • Losing weight over and over but gaining all (or more) of it back
  • Feeling resistant or hopeless about having to pay attention to what you eat
  • Difficulty beginning or maintaining a weight loss and exercise program
  • Eating for emotional reasons
  • Thinking about food all the time and worrying about your weight daily
  • Eating, spending, drinking, or doing something else too much
  • Feeling afraid to eat certain foods because once you start, you can’t stop
  • Addictions to chocolate, sweets, food in general

Judith, herself, steadily lost 35 pounds over the course of a year and has had no trouble maintaining her normal weight. When she began her weight loss program she hypothesized that:


  • There is no such thing as a ‘plateau’. If I stop losing weight it’s a sign of unconscious self-sabotage.
  • If I eliminate all my unconscious self-sabotage patterns as I lose weight, it will be easy to maintain my optimum weight because there won’t be anything left to sabotage me.

During the course of her own diet and work with others she indeed found these ideas to be true! She discovered specific patterns that people need to clear:


  • before starting a diet,
  • while losing weight, and
  • at the beginning of maintenance
  • to make weight loss and maintenance easy and lasting!

After treatment with HBLU™, you will effortlessly eat like “normal” eaters by:


  • Not eating when you’re not hungry
  • Trusting your body to tell you what to eat and when
  • Stopping when you’ve had enough
  • Automatically eating like this even on weekends, holidays, and vacations

If you are having problems with your weight maybe HBLU™ can help you, too.

Swack, Ph.D. At the recent ACEP conference (May 2013) I ran into Jane, a woman who had attended my presentation at the Energy Psychology conference the previous October. There I had demonstrated an energy transmission technique that I called “The Look” in which someone remembers a traumatic emotion, locates that feeling in his/her body, and I look at it. About 10 seconds later, the feeling dissolves. At the end of that session, I transmitted that ability to anyone who wished to receive it.

Successful Treatment of Physical Problems Starts with Acceptance

By Judith A. Swack, Ph.D. • September 29, 2025
Copyright 2014 revised 2025 Judith A. Swack, Ph.D. Three years ago, John’s blood sugar levels started to rise. Although John’s father and several other relatives had diabetes, John refused to believe he might really have a problem. Although his doctor had encouraged him to modify his diet and lose weight, John continued to eat whatever he wanted, not exercise, and stay fat. Now at age 52, his fasting blood sugar was 150 (normal is 70-99). When I asked him if he knew that he had diabetes, he told me that there was controversy over whether or not fasting blood glucose was a legitimate test for diabetes, and the medical establishment was now considering the A1C measurement as more accurate. So John got an A1C test, which also showed he was diabetic.

Open Does Not Mean Vulnerable

By Judith A. Swack, Ph.D. • August 26, 2025
Copyright 2025 Judith A. Swack, Ph.D. Jane was dating two men at once and having trouble deciding who to choose. She listed all of John’s wonderful qualities and all of Steven’s wonderful qualities and remarked, “If I could just put the two of them together I’d have the perfect man.” When asked why she didn’t just date one man who had everything, she said she was keeping one man as a backup because she didn’t feel safe with either one of them. Puzzled, I asked, “Why would you date, let alone marry, anyone you didn’t feel safe with? Clearly, you’ll never marry either of these men.” Jane simply looked astonished. Love is a beautiful thing. We all need to love and be loved. Sadly, many of us have been hurt by the people we love and who are supposed to love us. When that happens, we no longer feel safe, and we shut down the ability to give and receive love. The tragedy is that we can no longer feel loved or experience ourselves as loving beings. We no longer experience the nourishing flow of warm golden buttery energy that uplifts the heart/soul, connects us all, and soothes all pain. And everyone else we could be loving is robbed. According to the dictionary, the word “vulnerable” means open to attack. When someone says, “I’m afraid to be vulnerable” he/she should be afraid to be vulnerable, but he/she should not be afraid to be emotionally open, emotionally present, or emotionally close. Opening to give and receive love should not make one vulnerable. So what to do about it? With HBLU we acknowledge the fear and heal the traumas, dysfunctional family system and cultural brainwashing patterns that caused it. This allows people to reach out with their hearts and share one of the greatest gifts in life. If you or anyone you know would like to open your heart to love, get happily married, or improve your marriage or other relationships, HBLU methodology can help you.
