• 0:40
  Hi, it's Adam here. And in this episode of The
• 0:43
  Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a very metaphorical
• 0:48
  hypnosis session that. Utilizes a story.
• 0:53
  From Greek mythology based on the the myth.
• 1:00
  Of the Gordian. Knot now the Gordian knot was
• 1:04
  meant to be a knot that was so intricate and complex that it
• 1:09
  was impossible to untie and for hundreds.
• 1:13
  Of years. Many people had attempted to
• 1:16
  untie the knot but could never do it.
• 1:19
  It's one of these things that the more you try to untie it,
• 1:23
  the more tangled it becomes. And if you've ever had the
• 1:27
  experience of trying. To go.
• 1:30
  Through an old box or a bag of old.
• 1:33
  Electrical. Cables and find the one you want
• 1:35
  then you've probably got a a tiny essence of what the Gordian
• 1:39
  knot is all about and in Greek mythology there is this idea
• 1:45
  that eventually. That well whoever solved the
• 1:50
  the. Gordian Knot would be the.
• 1:52
  Ruler of Asia. And legend has it that Alexander
• 1:56
  the Great was encountered and shown the Gordian Knot and
• 2:01
  instead of trying to untangle it, he just got out.
• 2:04
  A big sword. And chopped it into and that's
• 2:06
  what untangled the knot. And this becomes a metaphor for
• 2:11
  how an unconventional, unusual solution to a problem can
• 2:16
  actually solve the problem. So it's used as a metaphor for
• 2:20
  this particular client because. They had about 3 or 4.
• 2:24
  Complex problems that they were dealing with in their life.
• 2:28
  And the great thing? About a metaphor is that it maps
• 2:30
  across to whatever The thing is that is most concerning to you
• 2:34
  at this particular point in time.
• 2:36
  So they had issues with. Pain they had.
• 2:39
  Issues with. A complicated identity shift
• 2:43
  that they were. Going.
• 2:44
  Through there was always this element.
• 2:46
  Of a project. That was quite complicated to
• 2:48
  get off the ground so many of these problems.
• 2:51
  Feel like unsolvable problems? Like a Gordian knot.
• 2:56
  So it has that metaphorical element and it's designed to
• 3:00
  bring about this element of solving it in new, novel,
• 3:04
  creative and surprising ways. So I would encourage you.
• 3:09
  To get the best. Out of this session, to think of
• 3:13
  the most challenging problem that you're facing in your life
• 3:16
  right now. So that when you hear the
• 3:18
  session talking about the knot, that that's the thing that the
• 3:22
  knot represents. And this is called priming.
• 3:25
  So you are priming for the metaphor.
• 3:27
  To be more. Useful for you.
• 3:30
  So think about the biggest, most complicated problem you're
• 3:32
  facing right now before the hypnosis session starts, and
• 3:35
  then you'll get more out of this session.
• 3:38
  And if you do like the idea of working with me directly,
• 3:41
  creating a session specifically for you and what you're going
• 3:44
  through right now, there will be a link in the show notes where
• 3:47
  you can schedule that free consultation call to explore.
• 3:49
  What it? Would be.
• 3:50
  Like to work? With me directly for now though,
• 3:53
  find a quiet, comfortable place where.
• 3:54
  You won't be. Disturbed, relax and enjoy the
• 3:58
  session. Take a deep breath in and as you
• 5:30
  breathe. In.
• 5:33
  Breathe in a feeling of calm relaxation, and as you exhale,
• 5:43
  just get a sense that feelings of tension, stress or worries
• 5:52
  are starting to leave your body in your outward breath.
• 6:03
  And the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you become.
• 6:08
  And the more relaxed you become, the deeper you breathe.
• 6:17
  So allow your body to find that comfortable position.
• 6:25
  Give yourself permission to relax completely, and as you
• 6:34
  settle in, notice how your breathing gets longer and
• 6:40
  deeper, intentional and yet effortless as you feel the rise
• 6:49
  and fall of your chest, and with each breath you get a sense that
• 6:56
  your body is becoming more relaxed and more calm.
• 7:05
  As your body relaxes, your imagination awakens.
• 7:09
  And I want you to imagine a lush, serene garden on a warm
• 7:16
  spring day. Imagine the air is fresh, the
• 7:22
  sky is clear, and a gentle breeze brushes against your
• 7:28
  skin. Maybe you notice a large ancient
• 7:34
  tree ahead, its roots brawling out the branches reaching
• 7:41
  towards the sky. But given that this is just your
• 7:49
  imagination, I want you to notice something unusual,
• 7:57
  strange, perhaps even extraordinary.
• 8:03
  Towards the base of the tree. I want you to see a huge,
• 8:09
  intricate knot, so complex and tangled that it seems to defy
• 8:17
  logic. I want you to imagine that you
• 8:26
  are looking at the Gordian knot, a puzzle so complicated that no
• 8:38
  one has been able to untangle the knot for centuries.
• 8:45
  But imagine walking closer to the knot.
• 8:50
  You notice the texture, ropes winding and twisting, entangling
• 8:56
  in every direction. As you stare into the knot, you
• 9:04
  acknowledge that it does seem unsolvable, an insurmountable
• 9:12
  challenge that holds the key to something greater, something
• 9:19
  extraordinary. And as you stand before the
• 9:24
  knot, you realise this is no ordinary challenge.
• 9:32
  This knot represents a particular part of your life, a
• 9:41
  problem to solve. Maybe it's something you've been
• 9:47
  struggling to overcome, a part of your identity to shift, a
• 9:57
  pain that seems like it won't go away.
• 10:03
  Or maybe a task or a goal that just seems to be out of reach
• 10:13
  soon. As you stare into the knot, take
• 10:15
  a deep breath. And as you breathe in, imagine
• 10:22
  the clarity of your mind becoming sharper and sharper.
• 10:29
  And as you breathe out, allow any tension or doubt to melt
• 10:34
  away. And in doing so, you release the
• 10:39
  weight of uncertainty, and maybe you notice that the more you
• 10:46
  focus, the clearer the path forward becomes.
• 10:53
  I wonder if you could imagine what it would feel like to stand
• 10:58
  on the threshold of an incredible discovery.
• 11:07
  Because the Gaul, the Gordian knot before you, feels powerful,
• 11:14
  it's complexity undeniable. But you also notice something
• 11:24
  It's tightness. The way it pulls in all
• 11:29
  directions no longer seems as daunting as it once did.
• 11:36
  Each loop, each twist of the knot, seems to hold an energy of
• 11:43
  its own. With each breath, the puzzle
• 11:50
  becomes clearer and more manageable.
• 11:57
  As you continue to breathe deeply, I wonder if you can
• 12:02
  notice the sensation of strength beginning to grow within you,
• 12:08
  expanding from your centre and radiating outward.
• 12:15
  Every fibre of your being is aligned with your true power and
• 12:23
  this not doesn't just represent the struggles of your life, it
• 12:29
  now represents your ability to face challenges head on with
• 12:36
  confidence and decisiveness. As you breathe in and breathe
• 12:43
  out, you may now begin to feel your connection to this puzzle
• 12:49
  shift. You feel grounded, strong,
• 12:55
  centred, ready to face whatever lies ahead.
• 13:06
  And I want you to think of the biggest problem that you're
• 13:10
  facing right now. And maybe you think of that
• 13:15
  problem in the same way that Alexander the Great looked at
• 13:24
  the Gordian knot when he was presented with that unsolvable
• 13:32
  problem. What if there is no need to
• 13:36
  untangle it in the conventional way, no need to painstakingly
• 13:43
  work through each twist and turn?
• 13:48
  Imagine in your hands you hold a sword of clarity, a symbol of
• 13:55
  your inner power, your strength, and your decisive action.
• 14:06
  As you raise this sword, you understand that sometimes the
• 14:11
  best solution to a challenge isn't about forcing your way
• 14:17
  through, but instead about having the courage to do
• 14:22
  something bold, something unconventional.
• 14:28
  So with one swift, powerful motion, imagine cutting through
• 14:34
  the knot in one swish of your sword.
• 14:42
  As the strands fall away, you experience a sense of release.
• 14:51
  The weight of uncertainty is lifted.
• 14:55
  The knot, this complex, unsolvable puzzle, has been
• 15:01
  dissolved. You are free and in that freedom
• 15:08
  you realise something powerful. What if you now have the
• 15:14
  strength to face any problem, any obstacle, with that same
• 15:22
  unconventional courage? You understand that within you
• 15:29
  is the ability to tackle challenges head on, not by
• 15:34
  overthinking, but by taking decisive action, trusting your
• 15:42
  instinct, and knowing that you are capable of more than you
• 15:48
  can't have ever imagined. As the Gordian knot unravels
• 15:57
  before you feel a deep sense of empowerment surge through you.
• 16:07
  You now realise that you never know how high you are till you
• 16:16
  are called to rise. And what if this is your moment
• 16:22
  to rise? That with every challenge you
• 16:26
  face, you grow stronger, more authentic, more powerful.
• 16:34
  That you are no longer afraid of the twists and turns in life.
• 16:40
  That you know that you have the strength within you to rise to
• 16:46
  meet the moment with boldness and clarity.
• 16:52
  And maybe you can create an image of Carl Jung in front of
• 16:57
  you. Imagine Carl saying the
• 17:03
  privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.
• 17:10
  And as you hear those words, feel your body, soul and mind
• 17:16
  vibrating as you embrace the full spectrum of your being, the
• 17:22
  light and the dark, the bold and the quiet, the powerful and the
• 17:31
  vulnerable, You are authentic in all your forms.
• 17:41
  As you come to the conclusion that you are whole, you come to
• 17:52
  the conclusion that that which does not kill us makes us
• 17:58
  stronger. Every challenge, every step
• 18:01
  back, every moment of struggle has only made you stronger.
• 18:10
  But because you have a powerful why, you are able to deal with
• 18:17
  any of the hows. You are not diminished by
• 18:21
  difficulties, you are empowered by them.
• 18:26
  Feel that you are unshakeable, unbreakable and unstoppable.
• 18:37
  Perhaps you could imagine Bruce Lee entering the room.
• 18:46
  I want you to get a sense that there is a sense of deep wisdom
• 18:52
  within. Hear him say the words that what
• 19:01
  if you were to absorb what is useful, discard what is not, and
• 19:07
  then add what is your neatly your own.
• 19:12
  I want you to get a sense that there is wisdom in books, in
• 19:19
  minds, in the collective conscious and unconscious, and
• 19:28
  you have the wisdom and the power to take what you need from
• 19:32
  each experience, each lesson, each source of wisdom, and mould
• 19:38
  it into your own authentic self. You are limitless in your
• 19:45
  potential. So now allow yourself to begin
• 19:55
  walking forward, feeling the duality of the energy of the
• 20:02
  light and the dark within you. Embrace them both, for they are
• 20:09
  part of you. And as you move forward, you
• 20:16
  notice that you are walking in a beautiful landscape.
• 20:20
  Bathed in the golden glow of the sun, you feel invigorated, full
• 20:28
  of vitality and completely at peace with yourself right here,
• 20:36
  right now. You are free of pain.
• 20:40
  Age does not exist, you are limitless and you realise that
• 20:48
  you have the power to create your own path to shape your life
• 20:55
  with the energy you possess as you acknowledge that you are
• 21:01
  healthy, vibrant and powerful and every step you take
• 21:08
  strengthens your connection to your true self.
• 21:13
  Feel that the light journey that you are on is one of
• 21:18
  empowerment, authenticity and strength.
• 21:25
  So take a moment now to bask in the energy of all of your life
• 21:32
  successes that have and will be. Feel your body, mind and spirit
• 21:42
  aligned, energized, and fully alive.
• 21:53
  As you breathe in and breathe out, you return to the spring
• 21:57
  garden, the ancient tree, and I want you to see that even though
• 22:06
  you solved the Gordian knot, a new Gordian knot now exists.
• 22:14
  I want you to get a sense that life will always present you
• 22:21
  with what can feel like unsolvable problems.
• 22:28
  But I want you to get a sense that you now have the deep
• 22:35
  belief that even an unsolvable problem has a unique,
• 22:43
  unconventional solution. And as you hold that thought,
• 22:50
  whatever the challenge is, whatever the issue is, whatever
• 22:56
  the pain is, you now frame it as a problem that will inevitably
• 23:05
  find an unconventional solution. So breathe in and breathe out as
• 23:15
  it's time to return back to the here and the now feeling
• 23:19
  invigorated, healthy, free of pain and full of hope and 100%
• 23:26
  authentic. Take a deep breath in through
• 23:30
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 23:35
  Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
• 23:37
  Start to connect and calibrate with the here and the now as I
• 23:44
  now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 23:48
  Starting to count 123 waking up 456 more alert 7-8.
• 23:58
  Open your eyes. Open your eyes 910 Wide awake,
• 24:03
  Wide awake. Wide awake.
