  Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside
• 0:09
  access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing
• 0:12
  genuine. Issues.
• 0:13
  Brought to you by The Hypnotherapist, demanded by
• 0:16
  celebrities CE OS and even royalty Adam Cox, these
• 0:21
  recordings took place live from Evans Clinic in London's world
• 0:24
  famous Harley Street. So get yourself comfortable and
• 0:31
  enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
• 0:36
  Hi, it's Adam here. Now.
• 0:38
  Let me ask you this question. Do you feel that it would be
• 0:42
  helpful if you had an identity shift?
• 0:46
  Maybe there is something about your identity which means that
• 0:49
  things just happen in the same loot.
• 0:51
  It kind of feels like you're in a bit of a rut.
• 0:53
  And what would happen if your identity suddenly shifted?
• 0:57
  Now I was working with a client that already had an identity of
• 1:02
  being athletic. They would exercise regularly
• 1:06
  and because they had that identity of being an athlete, it
• 1:09
  meant they worked out a lot and they were quite fit and they
• 1:12
  were quite healthy. But they wanted to change an
• 1:16
  area of their life and that was to feel more courageous and to
• 1:20
  do things that they felt that they couldn't do.
• 1:23
  So we needed an extra evolution to the athlete identity, and
• 1:28
  that was to have them feel that they were not just an athlete,
• 1:31
  but an adventurous athlete. And when I asked the kind of
• 1:36
  energy they wanted to feel with this identity, it wasn't the
• 1:40
  kind of the rugged stoic, you know, just doing the athletic
• 1:45
  kind of things and, and begrudging almost like a, a
• 1:47
  David Goggins type of character who absolutely is an athlete.
• 1:51
  But there is a sense of kind of duty rather than kind of fun and
• 1:55
  freedom connected with his energy.
• 1:58
  And this client said that they wanted to feel light and it was
• 2:01
  fun and kind of energetic, almost like the elves in Lord of
• 2:06
  the Rings. Now that is important because
• 2:09
  part of the backdrop of this hypnosis session is Middle
• 2:13
  Earth. So if you're familiar with the
• 2:15
  Tolkien books. Like The Hobbit?
• 2:18
  And Lord of the Rings, you'll know it's based in Middle Earth.
• 2:21
  And what I also did is I asked them, is there an area of their
• 2:25
  life where they feel really aligned and that it is something
• 2:30
  that is kind of active, it requires energy and, and kind of
• 2:36
  time. But they didn't feel that they
• 2:37
  had to be competitive. And this client said snorkeling
• 2:41
  or scuba diving, that's also important because they could do
• 2:45
  that without feeling like there's a winner or a loser.
• 2:47
  It's just the joy of doing it is actually what makes them want to
• 2:52
  do it more. So these are crucial in this
• 2:54
  hypnosis session because what we wanted is to create an identity
• 2:58
  of where they are an athletic adventurer but aligned.
• 3:02
  Rather than feeling like it's win or lose and it feels like
• 3:06
  daunting, they wanted to feel this light elvish energy to it.
• 3:11
  So it starts with almost visiting Middle Earth,
• 3:15
  snorkeling or scuba diving into the ocean and then finding an
• 3:19
  underground cave where they get to imagine a very different
• 3:22
  future where they activate this identity of being an adventurous
• 3:27
  athlete. And for many people, when they
• 3:29
  think of adventurers, they think of, you know, if you think of
• 3:32
  Indiana Jones, he's quite famous for being the archetype of an
• 3:37
  adventurer. An adventurer means taking
• 3:39
  risks. It's doing things that aren't
• 3:41
  easy. There is an element perhaps of
• 3:44
  things that could go wrong. And yet they do it anyway
• 3:47
  because a lot of people associate being an adventure or
• 3:50
  having adventures as the fun comes from the unknown.
• 3:54
  If it's too predictable, it's not an adventure.
• 3:57
  And that's also quite empowering.
• 3:59
  So if you have any desire to be have, let's say, more adventure
• 4:03
  or more sport and fitness in your life, you might get some
• 4:05
  value from this session. It was created for an
• 4:08
  individual. Some of the references are going
• 4:09
  to be right for them and not quite right for you.
• 4:12
  So if you do like the idea of working with me direct, have a
• 4:15
  look in the show notes and there LL be a link there to book a
• 4:18
  free consultation call. For now though, find a quiet,
• 4:21
  comfortable place where you won't be distracted or
• 4:23
  disturbed. Relax.
• 4:25
  And enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 4:52
  you breathe in, breathe in that resourceful feeling of calm and
• 4:57
  relaxation. And as you exhale, allow your
• 5:03
  eyes to close, and as they close, position your body in
• 5:08
  such a way that your breathing finds that long, slow rhythm
• 5:17
  that your body can really let go and relax, breathing in a pure
• 5:28
  feeling of relaxation. And as you exhale, allowing any
• 5:36
  feelings of tension to start to melt away.
• 5:47
  And as you breathe in, breathe in for deeper.
• 5:51
  And as you exhale, exhale for longer.
• 5:59
  And the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you feel.
• 6:05
  And the more relaxed you feel, the deeper you breathe.
• 6:12
  I want you to imagine what it would be like to float off to a
• 6:19
  fictional world, a world of hobbits and dwarves and elves.
• 6:27
  I want you to imagine what it would be like to float into the
• 6:31
  pages of a book and find yourself in a different world
• 6:39
  that we can call Middle Earth. Just imagine blue skies,
• 6:47
  sunshine on your skin. And I want you to imagine being
• 6:54
  somewhere on the coast in Middle Earth, a coast of sunshine, a
• 7:03
  coast that reminds you of the Cayman Islands.
• 7:08
  I want you to imagine they're on the coast.
• 7:13
  You're seeing an elegant elf snorkeling.
• 7:21
  See them with whatever they need to swiftly, smoothly,
• 7:37
  effortlessly glide under the water.
• 7:45
  And I want you to get a feeling that their abilities have
• 7:50
  transferred to you. Just imagine you can hold your
• 7:57
  breath for three times as long. Imagine you have their
• 8:03
  lightness, their energy, their intensity.
• 8:08
  Imagine putting on that snorkel mask, taking a deep, deep
• 8:14
  breath, and submerging under the water.
• 8:24
  And as you do so, imagine a new world comes alive.
• 8:32
  I want you to imagine seeing fish you've never seen before,
• 8:38
  reefs it can't exist in your reality, see bright colours,
• 8:46
  strange creatures, but feel safe.
• 8:51
  I want you to feel like there's an entire ecosystem there.
• 8:56
  Everything has its place. And I want you to imagine
• 9:02
  swimming further from shore. Imagine seeing a school of fish,
• 9:11
  a ray, something else. And I want you to feel the
• 9:16
  connection that exists between you and all animals.
• 9:24
  And here, in your imagination, we can slow time or expand it.
• 9:34
  Moments can feel like hours, and hours can feel like moments.
• 9:42
  And I want you to imagine there, under the surface of the ocean,
• 9:52
  you discover a hidden underground cave.
• 10:02
  I want you to imagine that there are creatures on The Cave roof
• 10:08
  seem to glow a form of biological luminescence, and
• 10:20
  just imagine you can rest there in that cave that represent the
• 10:26
  deepest parts of your subconscious mind.
• 10:31
  My new ideas, new values, new identities are formed.
• 10:41
  Breathing in and breathing out, feeling safe in that cave,
• 10:49
  feeling a sense of adventure in that cave.
• 10:57
  That's it. And with each breath there in
• 11:04
  that cave, your body remembers how to relax without effort.
• 11:12
  And I want you to feel protected.
• 11:17
  There, in that place in that cave, everything becomes
• 11:22
  quieter. Your mind expands and your focus
• 11:30
  contracts, and reality in the world above feels very far away
• 11:40
  as your attention naturally turns inward to a world of
• 11:47
  exploration. And I want you to feel there in
• 11:56
  that cave, your identity can shift effortlessly.
• 12:04
  It's a cave where you don't need to try to change.
• 12:09
  And what if you simply remember who you are at your very core?
• 12:20
  I want you to feel as you've experienced gliding through
• 12:24
  water, reflecting in The Cave. You're not trying to reach a
• 12:31
  destination, and you can't win at snorkeling.
• 12:39
  You're not trying to prove anything to anyone.
• 12:44
  It was always about discovery, new connections, new textures,
• 12:53
  colors for the unexpected. Every coral formation is
• 12:59
  different, and every movement reveals something new, and I
• 13:07
  want you to allow your mind to recognize this feeling, perhaps
• 13:15
  the same feeling you experience when solving an interesting
• 13:19
  problem, when exploring an idea, when curiosity pulls you forward
• 13:29
  naturally. And I want you to feel that
• 13:39
  pull, a quiet, powerful pull towards whatever's next.
• 13:48
  And somewhere deep inside makes a connection.
• 13:54
  This state of curious exploration is the same state
• 14:02
  that fuels your very best training exploring what you're
• 14:07
  capable of. And now, as you continue
• 14:11
  drifting, calmly allow an image to form as you start to imagine
• 14:22
  your reality beyond The Cave. See that version of you?
• 14:29
  Strong, composed, awake, not rushed and not hyped, just
• 14:37
  ready. I want you to see yourself in
• 14:42
  your reality as someone who doesn't need to wait to feel
• 14:48
  energized. See yourself as an athlete, and
• 14:57
  athletes understand something that most people never do.
• 15:04
  Energy follows action and identity precedes motivation.
• 15:13
  You start to realize that low energy in the morning is not a
• 15:17
  problem, but actually evidence. Evidence that when conditions
• 15:25
  aren't perfect, you still do what's required.
• 15:30
  You still move, you still show up, and every time you train
• 15:38
  without that ideal energy, your identity strengthens.
• 15:45
  Your mind learns. This is who I am, and not
• 15:53
  because it feels easy, but because it's connected with your
• 15:58
  identity. You may even begin to take quiet
• 16:04
  pride in this doesn't need to be the shall we boastful pride, but
• 16:14
  a deep internal pride, the kind that says I train because I am
• 16:23
  an athlete, not to become one. And imagine that version of you,
• 16:33
  how training begins to change. Each session becomes an
• 16:39
  experiment, a quest, a question, a puzzle.
• 16:47
  There's no failure when you exercise only feedback, only
• 16:54
  data and only exploration, and you're able to make sense of
• 17:03
  data much more powerfully and intuitively than the average
• 17:10
  person. And before long, or perhaps
• 17:15
  already, you realize that the pursuit is the reward.
• 17:24
  What if the training? The exercise?
• 17:31
  What if that is the point, not the result?
• 17:37
  Not the metric, not the outcome? What if the?
• 17:41
  Act of training itself becomes the adventure, so that leaving
• 17:48
  the comfort zone feels less like discomfort and more like a side
• 17:55
  quest. Just like drifting beyond
• 18:00
  familiar coral to see what lies a little further out.
• 18:06
  And allow your mind to link this feeling directly to mornings
• 18:16
  before sunrise. A quiet world, the sense that
• 18:21
  you are doing something before the day begins.
• 18:28
  Morning training becomes your private expedition, and no one
• 18:36
  else needs to see it and no one else needs to validate it.
• 18:43
  And in these moments, doing what others can't do or won't do,
• 18:52
  this is where the adventurous athlete wakes up.
• 18:59
  And whether energy feels high or low no longer matters because
• 19:04
  joy is no longer dependent on feeling ready.
• 19:11
  Joy comes from acting in alignment with the adventurous
• 19:19
  athlete. So whenever you choose movement,
• 19:25
  whenever you choose exploration, whenever you lean in to the
• 19:30
  adventure within, you are acknowledging that identity,
• 19:42
  giving permission to that identity.
• 19:47
  And every morning you train, your nervous system learns that
• 19:53
  this is safe, this is rewarding, this is who we are.
• 20:05
  And I want you to get a sense of how this could change things.
• 20:11
  When the training, the preparation, the exercise is the
• 20:15
  adventure. Then any competitions.
• 20:22
  Any tournaments, any structured events, that just becomes
• 20:31
  another data point. Your value yourself worth is not
• 20:39
  dependent on the outcome, it's dependent on the process.
• 20:48
  So imagine yourself in the weeks ahead and notice what adventures
• 20:56
  do you continue or begin today. See yourself with a an elf like
• 21:04
  lightness, where training feels lighter and more playful, more
• 21:10
  engaging, where you move with curiosity, with pride, with
• 21:19
  quiet confidence. And to the outside world it will
• 21:25
  look like discipline, but internally it would feel like
• 21:32
  freedom. Freedom to choose adventures.
• 21:40
  And you don't need to negotiate with comfort.
• 21:44
  Adventurers don't care much for comfort.
• 21:50
  Adventurers seek adventures, so allow a new identity to lock in.
• 21:59
  You are not just an athlete, you are the adventurous athlete and
• 22:09
  movement and learning and doing The difficult thing is how you
• 22:17
  explore life and when it feels that you have awakened this
• 22:23
  identity as your dominant identity when it comes to
• 22:28
  exercise, training or learning something new, let me know by
• 22:33
  nodding your head. That's it.
• 22:40
  Imagine being in an underground underwater cave, taking a deep
• 22:48
  breath, putting a snorkel in your goggles on and submerging
• 22:55
  under that magical water, escaping The Cave from way
• 23:02
  beneath the water and returning back to the shore, seeing
• 23:10
  wonderful creatures on your way back.
• 23:13
  Feeling that you don't have to be good or bad, competent or
• 23:21
  incompetent. Growth, exploration and
• 23:29
  adventure is now what matters most.
• 23:35
  As you return to shore, I want you to see the Alpha still
• 23:39
  there, and the elf gives you something.
• 23:46
  A potion. A potion of vitality.
• 23:50
  It will unlock a new level of adventure within.
• 23:56
  Imagine drinking the potion, saying goodbye to the elf, and
• 24:03
  as you return, feel that you're floating outside of old pages of
• 24:09
  an old book, returning to your reality, taking with you an
• 24:17
  evolved identity. You're still an athlete, but now
• 24:23
  an adventurous athlete. So take a deep breath in through
• 24:30
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 24:34
  Wiggle your fingers, wiggle your toes.
• 24:38
  Connect and calibrate into the here and the now as I now count
• 24:44
  from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 24:48
  Starting to count 123 waking up 456 More alert 7-8.
• 24:56
  Open your eyes. Open your eyes, 910.
• 25:00
  Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake.
