  These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's

  hypnosis, so do not listen while driving or operating machinery.

  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.
• 0:44
  Hi, Adam here. And you're about to listen to a
• 0:47
  hypnosis session that was created for a client that felt
• 0:50
  uncomfortable trying different types of food, particularly in
• 0:54
  situations where they didn't necessarily know the people
• 0:58
  around them or it felt like they were going to be watched.
• 1:02
  And there's two interesting elements of how people feel
• 1:05
  desire for food. 1 is what they associate with that food.
• 1:10
  And secondly, how they think about that food.
• 1:13
  Typically foods that are desirable the way they're
• 1:16
  imagined is close up and from a first person perspective and
• 1:22
  almost associated with other senses like heat or smell or.
• 1:26
  Taste so it. Increases desire, those foods
• 1:30
  that are unappealing are further away, or there's something about
• 1:34
  it that kind of creates A revulsion.
• 1:37
  And that might be other associations linked to that.
• 1:41
  And what's interesting is that for a person to believe that
• 1:45
  they like a food, there is a particular way that they think
• 1:47
  about it and they put it in their timeline of being in the
• 1:51
  past. Maybe they have memories of them
• 1:53
  eating the food and enjoying the food.
• 1:55
  And because they have that memory, it then feels like it's
• 1:58
  a safe thing to do. So if I said, for example, what
• 2:02
  most people would describe as a disgusting food, let's say,
• 2:05
  imagine eating insects or cockroaches, because you've
• 2:09
  never had the experience of eating that you would associate
• 2:11
  with, you know, dirty things that crawl across, you know, a
• 2:15
  kitchen. So you probably would have a
• 2:17
  feeling of disgust. You might create a picture in
• 2:19
  your mind of them moving. But something you find delicious
• 2:23
  like chocolate or ice cream or like a nice meal, you would
• 2:26
  think about that in a very different way.
• 2:29
  And what this hypnosis session does is it uses a virtual
• 2:32
  reality in this idea of a simulation to enable the client
• 2:35
  to experience eating different categories of food from a first
• 2:39
  person perspective and feeling like they've done that again and
• 2:43
  again and again. So it feels like it's in their
• 2:45
  past rather than something in their future.
• 2:49
  So if you've been described as a fussy eater or it's difficult
• 2:53
  for you to try new foods, then you might get some value from
• 2:56
  this session. But equally, if you feel like
• 2:59
  you would benefit from something more customized, there will be a
• 3:02
  link in the description where you can schedule a completely
• 3:06
  free consultation call to explore working with me.
• 3:09
  And there's also a suitability test in the description as well,
• 3:13
  so you can see if you would make a good candidate for
• 3:15
  hypnotherapy. For now though, find a quiet,
• 3:19
  comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
• 3:21
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 4:11
  you breathe in, breathe in that resourceful feeling of calm and
• 4:15
  relaxation. And as you exhale, just get a
• 4:23
  sense of feeling like you're drifting off to a safe place
• 4:29
  within your imagination. Breathe in deeply.
• 4:34
  And on the next exhale, just allow your eyelids to close.
• 4:40
  And as they close, that's it. Feel the release of any tension.
• 4:47
  Tension around the neck, the shoulders, the jaw.
• 4:53
  Just enable your body to drift down, deeper down.
• 5:02
  And perhaps you notice that the slower you breathe, the deeper
• 5:08
  you can breathe. And the deeper you breathe, the
• 5:15
  more relaxed you can feel breathing in relaxation and
• 5:21
  exhaling tension, enabling you to drift deeper and deeper.
• 5:30
  Relaxed that's in. And as your body relaxes, your
• 5:37
  imagination awakens. And I want you to imagine a
• 5:42
  fireman's pole. I want you to imagine you are on
• 5:49
  an upper floor and you can see a pole that goes down to a level
• 5:56
  below, and in that level below is a futuristic virtual reality
• 6:06
  simulator. But right now you're on the
• 6:11
  upper level that we can call the conscious mind.
• 6:19
  But I want you to imagine in a few seconds time to slide down
• 6:24
  that long fireman's pole. And as you go down, just imagine
• 6:31
  you're accessing A deeper part of your subconscious mind.
• 6:41
  That's it. Start sliding down that pole.
• 6:44
  I'm going to countdown from 5:00 to 1:00 with each descending
• 6:51
  number, feel that you're sliding downwards deep down to your
• 6:55
  subconscious mind. And when I arrive at 1:00.
• 7:00
  You will. Then touch the floor of a new
• 7:04
  room, the room that contains the futuristic virtual reality
• 7:09
  simulation. So sliding down now five more
• 7:15
  and more relaxed 4 deeper down 3.
• 7:19
  Just imagine the sensation of sliding downwards 2 all the way
• 7:26
  down now 1 and 0. Just imagine, there you go,
• 7:31
  touching down on a new floor and look around this floor within
• 7:37
  your imagination. Because if the upper floor was
• 7:41
  the conscious, this floor can be the subconscious, the lower
• 7:48
  decks of your mind. And I want you to imagine seeing
• 7:55
  a state-of-the-art futuristic virtual reality simulator.
• 8:02
  Maybe it's a whole suit that you climb into, or maybe just a
• 8:06
  headset, but this is so cutting edge that the moment you put on
• 8:15
  that simulator, it is indistinguishable from reality.
• 8:24
  But it doesn't have to follow the rules of reality.
• 8:28
  You can teleport to any place. Time can speed up or slow down.
• 8:35
  It just feels like it's real. And when you're ready, enter the
• 8:43
  simulation. And when you've entered the
• 8:50
  simulation, I want you to imagine, imagine a luxurious
• 8:59
  shopping mall, and you are in the food court of this luxurious
• 9:11
  shopping mall. And this food court has
• 9:16
  restaurant after restaurant after restaurants of all the
• 9:20
  different types of foods. And when you could imagine being
• 9:24
  there in that shopping mall near the food court, just let me know
• 9:30
  by nodding your head and you can walk around.
• 9:36
  You can imagine jumping everywhere you look.
• 9:41
  It looks like you're seeing things through your own eyes.
• 9:46
  But because it's AVR headset, you have access to information
• 9:56
  and one of those dashboards or dials is your hunger.
• 10:00
  And I want you to dial your hunger all the way up to AN89 or
• 10:04
  A10. Hunger is the biological desire
• 10:11
  to eat, and there are people that would eat anything if
• 10:18
  they're hungry enough. There's been people stranded on
• 10:26
  a boat that would eat raw fish or seagulls just because they
• 10:33
  were so hungry. I want you to imagine you're so
• 10:40
  hungry you have the desire to eat.
• 10:45
  But this this food court doesn't have horrible food.
• 10:52
  It has the very best food. And I want you to imagine seeing
• 11:03
  a restaurant in this food court that serves chicken.
• 11:13
  And I want you to imagine walking up and either looking at
• 11:21
  a menu or a board of different options.
• 11:26
  And each time you see an option, imagine that meal, that dish
• 11:33
  within your mind's eye that presents it in the most
• 11:38
  desirable way. If it's grilled chicken breast,
• 11:44
  imagine it cooked in the right way, served with the right
• 11:49
  foods. And if it's a chicken sandwich,
• 11:55
  imagine the right bread presented in the right way, and
• 12:06
  notice how easy it is to see words and convert them into a
• 12:14
  desirable image within your imagination.
• 12:20
  But this is just a simulation. I want you to imagine what it
• 12:26
  would be like to condense 1000 meals into just a few moments.
• 12:37
  Every possible way of eating chicken you could imagine
• 12:43
  experiencing in chicken and vegetables.
• 12:48
  Chicken and rice. Chicken in a sandwich.
• 12:54
  Grilled chicken in different parts of the chicken.
• 12:58
  Chicken wings, Chicken thigh, a drumstick, perhaps.
• 13:07
  Chicken in a stir fry. Imagine all the different ways.
• 13:10
  But imagine not just intellectually, but
• 13:15
  experientially. Imagine eating the chicken and
• 13:19
  enjoying it. It feels safe.
• 13:25
  And occasionally there might be certain ways of eating chicken
• 13:29
  that are just presented in a way that doesn't appeal to you.
• 13:33
  And there might be the flavours, the spices, the seasoning that
• 13:41
  don't quite make it desirable for you.
• 13:44
  And this is just information for you to figure out what you like
• 13:51
  and what you don't like. I don't want you to imagine
• 13:56
  condensing years of eating all the different ways of eating
• 13:59
  chicken in this one restaurant in the food court.
• 14:09
  And you can connect to the desire, the safety, the feeling
• 14:14
  of familiarity, the feeling that now when you look at that
• 14:18
  chicken menu, all of these foods you've had on many occasions and
• 14:23
  it feels like you're past now, you've already eaten these
• 14:28
  before. They feel safe.
• 14:33
  And then walk to the next restaurant that serves every
• 14:39
  possible combination of pasta dishes.
• 14:45
  Spaghetti penne? I want you to see lasagna.
• 14:58
  Even macaroni cheese, I want you to see all of these different
• 15:01
  combinations of pasta dishes. Perhaps you could imagine 100
• 15:10
  tables with 100 different dishes because this is just a
• 15:18
  simulation. You could imagine eating all 100
• 15:23
  but dialing up the desire and dialing up this feeling of
• 15:29
  familiarity and safety. And you'll notice there's
• 15:34
  certain ways of thinking about certain pasta dishes that feel
• 15:39
  more desirable to you. Some pasta dishes are cold, some
• 15:45
  are hot, and maybe you like the hot dishes more than the cold.
• 15:52
  Some are accompanied with meat or vegetables, and some might be
• 15:59
  quite plain. But I want you to condense years
• 16:04
  of eating pasta into this one restaurant, even if it feels
• 16:11
  that this is manageable and you're growing your discernment
• 16:15
  of knowing what you like and don't like.
• 16:17
  Just let me know by nodding your head.
• 16:23
  But because this is a simulation, you can see your
• 16:26
  hunger is still on 8-9 or 10. So you leave the restaurant not
• 16:33
  feeling full, still with hunger, still with desire.
• 16:38
  But now I want you to see a steakhouse.
• 16:45
  And this steakhouse offers every combination of steaks and
• 16:51
  grilled meats, each table a different meal, each accompanied
• 16:59
  with different vegetables or salads and garnishes.
• 17:07
  I want you to imagine not just seeing the foods, but eating the
• 17:10
  foods and enjoying the foods. All the different ways of having
• 17:18
  a steak, the different cuts, fillet, steak, sirloin, A rump,
• 17:29
  T-bone, testing out all the different variations of how it's
• 17:36
  cooked, everything from rare to well done.
• 17:43
  And notice your discernment, your desire.
• 17:49
  What might be disgusting if it's cooked in a certain way is
• 17:53
  desirable if it's cooked in a different way.
• 17:58
  No right or wrong, just information and just feel that
• 18:03
  you've had every combination. Even rarer steaks, an ostrich
• 18:10
  steak. I want you to imagine all the
• 18:17
  different milk meats and combinations and all the
• 18:20
  different drinks that could accompany it.
• 18:22
  And in the same restaurant, I want you to imagine a salad bar
• 18:31
  with every possible vegetable and salad and even fruit from
• 18:37
  every part of the world. And I want you to notice those
• 18:46
  things you've had many times before, like lettuce or tomato.
• 18:51
  They're OK, They feel safe and familiar.
• 18:57
  But I want you to notice when there's something you've never
• 18:59
  had before, the desire and curiosity increases.
• 19:08
  Maybe it's a vegetable from a different part of the world that
• 19:13
  you never knew existed and change any thoughts of I've
• 19:19
  never had that before too. What a wonderful opportunity to
• 19:28
  experience that new type of food.
• 19:34
  Because you already know that vegetables and fruits are
• 19:40
  generally foods you already like.
• 19:43
  So consider this an easy win to expand the foods you feel
• 19:48
  comfortable with. And the more varieties you try,
• 19:54
  the more your confidence grows. You leave this place and then
• 20:01
  you see a fish restaurant with every possible fish and
• 20:07
  shellfish there is. The steaky types of fish like
• 20:16
  tuna and salmon. The meaty white fishes like cod
• 20:23
  and haddock. I want you to see the rarer
• 20:29
  fishes. Maybe you see things like crab
• 20:34
  or lobster. I want you to imagine seeing
• 20:38
  them presented on a plate in the most desirable way.
• 20:42
  And just imagine condensing years of testing and trying and
• 20:49
  choosing all of these different food combinations so it feels
• 20:56
  like you've done this many, many times before.
• 21:02
  And then notice there's a whole different section of the same
• 21:04
  restaurant with all the different dairy things that
• 21:08
  exist, eggs and yogurts, milks and cheeses.
• 21:16
  And in particular, you can't help but think that cheese is
• 21:20
  just a solid form of milk, and if you like milk, then you feel
• 21:28
  that it's safe to try different varieties of cheeses, knowing
• 21:34
  that nobody likes them all. But by choosing something and
• 21:40
  knowing that you do or do not like it turns you into someone
• 21:46
  with refined tastes. Someone with refined taste is
• 21:51
  some someone that simply knows what they like and what they
• 21:55
  don't. I want you to imagine years of
• 22:00
  being in this food court, trying every combination of every type
• 22:04
  of food, knowing what you like, knowing what you don't like,
• 22:09
  thinking about foods in a way that means each time you choose
• 22:16
  is a shot to nothing. If you like it, you eat it.
• 22:19
  If you don't, you don't. Each attempt makes you more
• 22:25
  distinguished, more refined, more confident, and more
• 22:28
  comfortable. It's time to leave this food
• 22:36
  court. But you leave feeling like
• 22:38
  you've got years and years of eating all these different foods
• 22:45
  so that in the future they're not daunting.
• 22:49
  They don't feel out of the comfort zone.
• 22:52
  They feel very, very familiar and manageable.
• 22:59
  So as you leave the food court, go back into that mall, I want
• 23:04
  you to see a pole going upwards. But this time I want you to
• 23:10
  imagine climbing up the pole. And as you climb up the pole,
• 23:15
  feel that you're shifting perspective from the
• 23:17
  subconscious to the conscious. I want you to get a sense that
• 23:24
  the virtual reality you're taking off the headset,
• 23:32
  continuing to climb up that pole, feeling like you're
• 23:35
  returning to what we can call the conscious mind.
• 23:40
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 23:44
  nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
• 23:47
  wiggle your toes. That's it.
• 23:48
  Connect and calibrate into the here and the now as I now count
• 23:53
  from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you. 123 Waking up. 456 more
• 24:01
  alert. 7-8 open your eyes. Open your eyes. 910 wide awake,
• 24:08
  wide awake, wide awake. Thank you for listening to The
