• 0:16
  These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's
• 0:19
  world famous Harley Street. This podcast features powerful
• 0:23
  hypnosis, so do not listen while driving or operating machinery.
• 0:27
  This recording is not suitable for those with epilepsy or
• 0:30
  severe mental health issues, so get yourself comfortable and
• 0:34
  enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
• 0:40
  Hi, it's. Adam here and in today's episode
• 0:43
  of The Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a hypnosis
• 0:46
  session that is a. A kind of.
• 0:49
  Performance anxiety themed hypnosis session, but
• 0:53
  specifically for a competitive fighter that had a upcoming
• 0:59
  fight but also an upcoming open tournament.
• 1:02
  And they had moments in the past where they felt overwhelmed and
• 1:10
  kind of too reactive, like almost like in a storm of
• 1:15
  emotions. And they couldn't really
• 1:17
  maintain control in that moment. And they didn't really didn't
• 1:20
  want to kind of have that state coming up because they had other
• 1:24
  times that they fought very well, remained calm and
• 1:28
  composed. So you're going to hear.
• 1:31
  A bit. Of harnessing exactly the
• 1:33
  resource state that would be most useful for them.
• 1:36
  And I. Asked the question, as I often
• 1:38
  do, which person, you know, fictional or real, had the very
• 1:45
  resources, mindset or temperament that you would want
• 1:50
  in these upcoming fights. And for them it was the Irish
• 1:54
  fighter Conor McGregor. And they could recall one of
• 1:59
  their early fights where they just seemed very calm, very
• 2:03
  composed. And.
• 2:06
  Was able to respond to whatever happened in a very deliberate,
• 2:10
  intentional way and they wanted to harness that.
• 2:14
  So you're going to hear an element of stage disassociation,
• 2:19
  observing the resources in Conor McGregor, associating into those
• 2:25
  resources, feeling what it would have been like to have that
• 2:29
  temperament as if he was Conor McGregor and then observe a
• 2:35
  future fight. Could be this upcoming fight,
• 2:37
  could be the upcoming tournament where they see themselves with
• 2:41
  the qualities that they had just seen and then experienced within
• 2:45
  Conor McGregor. So there's a little bit going on
• 2:48
  here. And there was also a key
• 2:49
  metaphor, and that is that in a tornado or a hurricane, you have
• 2:56
  this weird thing where because of centrifugal force, the very
• 3:00
  center of a hurricane is actually very calm.
• 3:05
  It's very peaceful because all the chaos is happening around
• 3:07
  you. And that proved to be a very
• 3:10
  apartment metaphor for this particular client, because they
• 3:13
  wanted to feel that in the midst of all this chaos, they could
• 3:17
  have this Oasis of calm where they could get that composure,
• 3:22
  get that clarity, and decide what they wanted to do.
• 3:25
  Next I think. If you are a professional
• 3:28
  fighter or an amateur fighter, or you just fight competitively,
• 3:33
  you'll get some value from this session.
• 3:35
  But equally, you can use fighting as a metaphor, and that
• 3:38
  could be some form of key event, some kind of interaction.
• 3:44
  It could be a A-Team game where you've got an opponent and it
• 3:48
  isn't fighting. It might just be something else
• 3:50
  that's adversarial in nature. It could be a negotiation.
• 3:54
  So use this if you don't fight, you know, particularly in a
• 3:58
  competitive environment, as a metaphor for something that maps
• 4:01
  across to your life. As always, this was created for
• 4:05
  a specific individual, So if you feel like a more.
• 4:09
  Bespoke. Deliberate.
• 4:10
  Session created around you and your needs would be more
• 4:12
  beneficial. Then click the link in the show
• 4:15
  notes and you can schedule that free consultation call to
• 4:17
  explore working with me. For now though, find a quiet,
• 4:21
  comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
• 4:24
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 4:51
  you breathe in, breathe in that resourceful feeling of calm and
• 4:57
  relaxation. And as you exhale, feel a
• 5:04
  wonderful sense of release, particularly in the tiny muscles
• 5:10
  around your eyes. Notice with your eyes closed how
• 5:16
  much more of your attention you can give to the sound of my
• 5:23
  voice. Breathing in relaxation and
• 5:36
  exhaling tension. And just do a quick scan of your
• 5:41
  body just to see if there's any clues of tension, stress or
• 5:47
  anxiety. Sometimes it's hiding in the
• 5:51
  jaw, the neck or the shoulders, the forehead or the gut.
• 5:58
  But as you breathe in, then wonderful feeling of relaxation,
• 6:04
  feel that any unwanted emotions are starting to melt away, to
• 6:13
  dissolve and dilute, and feel a wonderful feeling that you're
• 6:19
  releasing them in your outward breath.
• 6:30
  The deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you become, and the more
• 6:35
  relaxed you become, the deeper you breathe.
• 6:39
  So with each breath, just feel your body becoming heavier and
• 6:44
  more at ease. And as you breathe in, just
• 6:48
  imagine calmness washing over you.
• 6:54
  As you exhale, just allow yourself to continue to let go
• 6:58
  of tension or concerns or distractions.
• 7:06
  And with every word I say, your mind becomes clearer, your focus
• 7:15
  sharper and your body more relaxed.
• 7:22
  And notice the sensation, perhaps of your feet in your
• 7:30
  socks or shoes. Feel the support of the chair
• 7:37
  beneath you and just allow your attention to drift inwards.
• 7:48
  That's it. And I want you to imagine a
• 7:54
  staircase in front of you, but this staircase is made of solid
• 8:00
  gold. You're at the top of this solid
• 8:06
  gold staircase, encrusted with jewels, and every step you take
• 8:12
  down will take you deeper into relaxation, deeper into calm.
• 8:22
  So let's walk down that staircase now. 10 Releasing any
• 8:28
  tension in your face. 9 Loosening your jaw. 8 Feel a
• 8:39
  sense of release in your neck and your shoulders.
• 8:44
  And seven, feel your arms getting lighter and heavier at
• 8:51
  exactly the same time, loose and relaxed.
• 9:00
  And then six, that wave of relaxation rippling down into
• 9:06
  your fingers, then 5. As you breathe in, just imagine
• 9:11
  your internal organs start to relax too, continuing to walk
• 9:17
  down this gold staircase. Your heart relaxes, your lungs,
• 9:27
  stomach, diaphragm, they all relax now down into your gut as
• 9:33
  five becomes four. Walking down this gold staircase
• 9:38
  as you continue 3 down into your legs, feel a looseness in your
• 9:45
  legs. Imagine a puppet with no
• 9:50
  strings. Your arms and legs feel loose
• 9:53
  and relaxed. And then two down into your calf
• 9:56
  muscles and one down into your feet.
• 10:01
  And then zero. You're now at the bottom of this
• 10:04
  golden staircase, feeling that you've made a transition to a
• 10:14
  place where your mind is more open to powerful suggestions
• 10:20
  that are beneficial for you. And at the bottom of this
• 10:34
  staircase is a corridor, and the corridor leads into a private
• 10:45
  viewing room. Maybe it's ATV screen or a
• 10:49
  projector, but imagine taking a seat in this private viewing
• 10:55
  room and what you're seeing on a screen is a particular fighter
• 11:05
  just about to start a fight. And as you focus on the fighter,
• 11:15
  you recognize the fighter as Conor McGregor, just about to
• 11:23
  start round one of a very specific fight.
• 11:30
  You can tell from his facial expression, body movements.
• 11:39
  There is a looseness, a relaxation, a calmness, a hybrid
• 11:45
  of preparation and relaxation. I want you to observe qualities
• 11:56
  that you feel would be useful for you.
• 12:01
  Perhaps focus, determination or unshakeable self belief.
• 12:10
  I want you to see those facial expression, the breathing rate,
• 12:16
  the fluidity, the relaxation, what the eyes are fixated on.
• 12:29
  And maybe you detect an energy of certainty or positivity or
• 12:34
  unshakable self belief. I want you to observe the
• 12:43
  qualities as the fight starts. Pace, rhythm, and maybe there's
• 12:51
  certain things that are testing responses, figuring out a game
• 12:57
  plan, or maybe it's just relentless.
• 13:01
  Observe whatever you observe and start to feel that just by
• 13:07
  observing you are awakening those qualities within you.
• 13:20
  Observe how pressure is handled, how quickly some kind of
• 13:38
  unexpected hit is just brushed off like it's nothing.
• 13:45
  The ability to adapt. And maybe you get a sense that
• 13:50
  there is an unshakable belief that no matter what happens, he
• 13:56
  has the resources to turn the situation around.
• 14:05
  I want you to get a sense that all the qualities you're
• 14:09
  observing here have existed at a different time or a different
• 14:16
  context in your life. Feel that they are awakening
• 14:21
  within you. I want you to imagine rewinding
• 14:37
  that round, that fight just before it starts, and now
• 14:41
  stepping into this representation of Conor
• 14:47
  McGregor. Breathe the way he's breathing,
• 14:52
  feel the way he felt. Maybe you notice in a dialogue,
• 14:59
  a calmness, perhaps the calm before the storm.
• 15:05
  Feel it within you, a sense of absolute certainty and yet a
• 15:15
  willingness to observe everything, the tiniest of
• 15:20
  details, a movement, a look. Imagine the round starting and
• 15:31
  feel a sense of congruency, harmony between your mind and
• 15:40
  your body. You're breathing at the rate you
• 15:44
  need to breathe. You're regulating any adrenaline
• 15:48
  or cortisol. You feel like this is fun for
• 15:53
  you. Feel the strategy, ideas,
• 16:03
  opportunities just popping into your mind and have a deep sense
• 16:09
  that no matter what happens, there is always a new moment, a
• 16:15
  new opportunity to take things in the direction that you
• 16:22
  desire. I want you to step out of Conor
• 16:33
  McGregor. Be back in that private viewing
• 16:37
  room and this time imagine seeing yourself in the future in
• 16:49
  an upcoming fight and the same qualities that you saw on Conor
• 16:55
  McGregor. See them on you.
• 17:01
  The calmness, the confidence, the belief.
• 17:08
  Think of a specific event, fight, or opponent and see
• 17:16
  yourself just about to start that fight.
• 17:20
  Notice how you look, notice how you're breathing, And then just
• 17:25
  imagine the fight starts and you're the observer.
• 17:31
  Not in your body, just observing like it's on a screen.
• 17:40
  See yourself taking each fight as it comes, each moment as it
• 17:43
  comes. See yourself mindful, proactive
• 17:53
  in that you've prepared, but reactive in the sense then you
• 17:59
  will respond to what's happening while also following your
• 18:03
  strategic plan. And then I want you to see
• 18:10
  something happening, maybe we call it the pocket, a frenzy,
• 18:18
  maybe caused by you or by your opponent for a moment.
• 18:25
  See you emotionally losing control only for a moment, and
• 18:37
  then almost see an instinct activating like a light bulb
• 18:44
  going on. You realise what's happening and
• 18:49
  you take yourself out of the hurricane, out of the frenzy,
• 18:54
  out of the pocket. Take a step back, observe as you
• 19:01
  createspace for perspective. Maybe see your posture or
• 19:07
  breathing change. This is you no longer in the
• 19:13
  storm, you are in the eye of the storm.
• 19:17
  A respite of clarity in which to decide what is best to do next.
• 19:34
  I want you to get a sense this version of you has all the
• 19:39
  qualities you need to increase the probability of steering
• 19:46
  things in the way that you would want.
• 19:50
  If you're behind after one round, the slate is wiped clean.
• 19:57
  If you're ahead after a round, you ride the wave of momentum.
• 20:02
  Whatever happens is working for you, not against you.
• 20:05
  And because this is your imagination, see it happening
• 20:11
  exactly as you would want it to happen, winning in the way that
• 20:18
  you would want not to guarantee it, but to sow a seed of
• 20:25
  optimism and certainty and then rewind it to before it's even
• 20:35
  begun and. Step into that.
• 20:37
  Version of you imagining how this upcoming fight will be from
• 20:44
  a first person perspective. Maybe you can imagine the
• 20:50
  surroundings, the location, the opponent.
• 20:57
  Perhaps it's a ring or mats. Anything you know for sure.
• 21:03
  Picture it and anything you're not sure.
• 21:06
  Allow your imagination to fill in the blanks.
• 21:12
  Feel that sense of optimistic certainty, that unshakable self
• 21:17
  belief, a sense that you will do whatever your unconscious feels
• 21:29
  will give you an edge. And then imagine finding
• 21:33
  yourself there in the storm, there in the pocket.
• 21:37
  Feel temporarily that you've lost control just enough till
• 21:43
  you gain that clarity. Step back, breathe differently,
• 21:46
  have a different posture, and feel a sense of insight that the
• 21:55
  additional perspective now gives you an opportunity to steer
• 22:00
  things in the direction that you want.
• 22:06
  And if you can feel this hybrid of optimistic self belief, but
• 22:13
  also responsiveness, the ability to adapt quickly, just let me
• 22:19
  know by nodding your head, that's it.
• 22:24
  And notice where in your body you feel this and then amplify
• 22:28
  it here and in a dialogue, like a coach inside your own head,
• 22:38
  certain encouraging, positive, you've got this, nothing's lost.
• 22:48
  Whatever happens, this is winnable, and accept that it is
• 22:53
  absolutely true. Have the self fulfilling
• 22:58
  prophecy work for you rather than against you, and then
• 23:03
  imagine the fight going exactly as you would want it to go.
• 23:08
  Not as a prophecy, but as a signal that your unconscious
• 23:13
  believes that it is winnable, that you will do well and then
• 23:21
  imagine the fight finishing, knowing that whatever happens,
• 23:25
  you either win or you learn. There is never a loss unless you
• 23:31
  don't learn something. I want you to get a sense that
• 23:36
  you can harness it all, have it all working for you, that you
• 23:42
  have unshakable determination and belief, and take all of
• 23:47
  those qualities, harness them, find yourself back in that
• 23:55
  viewing room, but taking all of those qualities with you,
• 23:59
  knowing that they will activate when you need them most.
• 24:04
  As you leave the room, you walk down the corridor, see a golden
• 24:09
  staircase that takes you back to consciousness.
• 24:15
  Very soon I will count from 1:00 to 10:00 and you will imagine
• 24:20
  going up the staircase. Back to full.
• 24:23
  Consciousness in the here and the now.
• 24:27
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 24:32
  nose. Wiggle your fingers and wiggle
• 24:34
  your toes. Connect fully into the here and
• 24:36
  now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 24:43
  Starting to count. 123 Waking up 456 more alert 7-8.
• 24:50
  Open your eyes. Open your eyes, 910.
• 24:53
  Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake.
