• 0:45
  Hi, Adam here. And you're about to listen to a
• 0:49
  hypnosis session that was created for a client that, after
• 0:53
  experiencing a fall in childhood, had a real sense of
• 0:59
  Vertigo, of anything that seemed unstable.
• 1:03
  Or have the. Possibility of either movement
• 1:06
  or height. And Vertigo can be defined by
• 1:10
  this dizzy feeling, either linked to real experiences or
• 1:14
  perceptions. So some people with Vertigo, for
• 1:16
  example, they can be in a built up city, look up at tall
• 1:20
  buildings and really feel that dizziness.
• 1:22
  Or it might be going down a staircase or over a bridge or
• 1:26
  just surrounded by things like a tunnel.
• 1:29
  And this client had some of those triggers, and they really
• 1:33
  wanted to feel this feeling of stability, but their coping
• 1:37
  strategy was to become more rigid.
• 1:40
  And that kind of makes sense that if you're worried about the
• 1:42
  movement around you, then you make yourself rigid to almost
• 1:46
  create a brace position. But what that was doing is that
• 1:49
  it means that they feel the movement more.
• 1:52
  And in this hypnosis session, I actually use a metaphor of a
• 1:55
  gyroscope. And why a gyroscope is quite a
• 1:58
  powerful metaphor is that even if the surroundings are moving,
• 2:03
  the inner part of a gyroscope remains stable and static.
• 2:08
  Sometimes it can spin, but it keeps balance.
• 2:10
  And that's why it's such a good metaphor for this particular
• 2:14
  client. And there's other things in
• 2:16
  there as well, like feeling relaxed and and having a lack of
• 2:20
  tension. Because if you think of, and
• 2:22
  there's a metaphor in this session about old bamboo versus
• 2:26
  young bamboo, if you think of really rigid old bamboo in a
• 2:30
  storm, in the wind, it could break, but very young flexible
• 2:33
  bamboo would just move with the wind.
• 2:36
  So there's various metaphors here that design and encourage
• 2:40
  the client to really feel relaxed and fluid and, and kind
• 2:44
  of in this state of finding stability from the way that they
• 2:47
  move rather than being rigid, which actually just increases
• 2:51
  their ability to notice any kind of movements.
• 2:54
  So if you have feelings of Vertigo or let's say there's
• 2:58
  anxiety linked to certain places like bridge or flying, you might
• 3:02
  get some value from this session, but just be aware that
• 3:04
  it was created for of a specific client.
• 3:07
  Therefore, some of the suggestions might have been
• 3:10
  perfect for the client and not quite right for you.
• 3:14
  So if you'd like the idea of working with me directly in the
• 3:17
  description, you're going to be able to find a suitability test
• 3:21
  but also a link to schedule a free consultation call to
• 3:25
  explore working with me. For now though, find a quiet,
• 3:28
  comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
• 3:31
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 4:25
  you breathe in, breathe in that slow, long, relaxing breath.
• 4:32
  And as you exhale, just allow your eyelids to close, and as
• 4:39
  they close, feel that wave of relaxation starting at the
• 4:45
  eyelids and rippling and trickling down, releasing
• 4:53
  tension on the outward breath before breathing in a feeling of
• 5:01
  calm stability, Breathing in that relaxation and exhaling any
• 5:11
  feelings of stress, worry, or tension, but also any feelings
• 5:17
  of rigidity. It's almost like you could
• 5:23
  imagine an old stick of bamboo, rigid and brittle.
• 5:35
  And if the wind comes, that brittle bamboo could snap.
• 5:42
  But then imagine seeing the new shoots of bamboo, flexible and
• 5:51
  moving, that even if the wind is fierce, they move with the wind.
• 6:01
  I want you to get a sense that with each and every breath, feel
• 6:09
  tension, rigidity, any feeling of brittle rigid sensations just
• 6:17
  melting away. I want you to think of an
• 6:22
  icicle. A rigid icicle could shatter
• 6:30
  into a million pieces, but imagine the icicle in its liquid
• 6:37
  form. It just moves to suit whatever
• 6:43
  environment it's in. And as you breathe in and
• 6:48
  breathe out, feel any tension almost like it's crystals of ice
• 6:57
  melting away, taking that fluid liquid form, enabling you to
• 7:04
  feel deeper and deeper, relaxed. That's in.
• 7:16
  And I want you to use the power of your imagination to imagine a
• 7:24
  flat, solid, stable place out in nature.
• 7:30
  And maybe it's just a field that is flat and level, or maybe,
• 7:40
  maybe it's something else. But I want you to imagine being
• 7:47
  in that place in nature, on that solid, flat, stable ground, and
• 7:56
  imagine standing and feeling stable, feeling relaxed, feeling
• 8:03
  flexible. But then I want you to imagine
• 8:09
  on that safe, solid, stable ground, seeing an airline seat,
• 8:21
  but the airline seat is not on a plane.
• 8:25
  It's on that solid, safe, stable ground.
• 8:33
  And imagine sitting in that stable seat on that stable
• 8:36
  ground and declining it to where you feel most relaxed.
• 8:45
  As I count down from 12:50, you will imagine drifting off into a
• 8:51
  dreamlike sleep there on that airline chair.
• 8:58
  The look of the chair will make you feel safe and stable. 10
• 9:06
  just releasing any tension around your eyelids and
• 9:10
  forehead. And nine, just release any
• 9:14
  tension in your jaw. 8 breathing in deeper, exhaling for longer.
• 9:22
  Just feel all the muscles in your face start to relax.
• 9:27
  That's it. And then seven.
• 9:32
  Imagine that the breathing is now happening for you.
• 9:38
  Their lungs know how to breathe, so allow them to breathe even
• 9:42
  more relaxed and even more deeper.
• 9:46
  And the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed your neck and
• 9:48
  shoulders feel. The seven becomes 6 and just
• 9:54
  feel your neck and shoulders feel so relaxed as you imagine a
• 10:02
  helium balloon and whatever colour comes to mind.
• 10:11
  And I want you to think of a helium balloon with a string
• 10:17
  that even if the string is moved, the helium balloon seems
• 10:24
  stable. I want you to get a sense that
• 10:31
  your head feels like that helium balloon, that almost it can move
• 10:39
  in whichever way it needs to to feel stable and relaxed.
• 10:44
  And the more loose and relaxed your neck and your shoulders,
• 10:49
  the more it feels like your head is just floating in whichever
• 10:53
  position is most comfortable. And then seven goes to six and
• 11:00
  just feel your arms feeling limp, loose and heavy, more and
• 11:04
  more relaxed. And then five, just feel your
• 11:09
  internal organs starting to relax, your heart, your lungs,
• 11:15
  your stomach, all start to relax.
• 11:21
  But I want you to focus your attention there in the center of
• 11:24
  your torso, the solar plexus, and just imagine a shiny
• 11:35
  gyroscope right there. And I want you to imagine that
• 11:44
  whatever sensation anxiety is, the gyroscope is rotating in the
• 11:50
  opposite direction. That when you imagine the
• 11:54
  gyroscope rotating in that direction gives you a feeling of
• 12:01
  calm, confidence and stability. Give it a colour, but also give
• 12:09
  it warmth. Just imagine a particular drink
• 12:15
  giving that warm feeling there in that location and give the
• 12:18
  gyroscope that warmth so that there in the gut you feel more
• 12:26
  and more relaxed, more and more comfortable.
• 12:31
  And then four, take that feeling of relaxation, take it down into
• 12:34
  the legs. That's it.
• 12:39
  Deeper down 3 and then two, even more relaxed now and then one.
• 12:49
  Just imagine the feeling of relaxation goes all the way to
• 12:52
  your toes and then from your toes all the way up to the top
• 13:00
  of your head and down to the tips of your fingers.
• 13:06
  Every breath taking you deeper and deeper relaxed and feel that
• 13:13
  imaginary sensation of that airline chair on that solid
• 13:18
  stable ground. Imagine the sensation of the
• 13:22
  chair, the feeling of stability that it supports you completely.
• 13:32
  A feeling that you don't need to hold yourself up, you can just
• 13:38
  let yourself go, allowing your arms to rest, your legs to
• 13:43
  relax, and your breathing to become even slower and more
• 13:48
  rhythmic. And as you go deeper into
• 13:54
  comfort, I'd like you to focus on that centre, the place just
• 14:02
  beneath the ribs in the centre of your torso, there in the
• 14:08
  solar plexus, and really think about that gyroscope.
• 14:17
  I want you to see it as a perfectly balanced precision
• 14:22
  instrument, spinning effortlessly in the direction of
• 14:29
  calm confidence. And you could imagine it as
• 14:35
  stable and steady. And no matter how the world
• 14:42
  moves around it, this gyroscope, this mechanical metaphor, it's
• 14:50
  part of you. I want you to feel that.
• 14:57
  Only now you realize that rigidity doesn't make you
• 15:03
  stable, it's intuition and flexibility that does.
• 15:10
  So imagine that gyroscope has been there all along, only now
• 15:15
  you're working with it rather than against it.
• 15:19
  A deep stabilizing force centres you, balances you and grounds
• 15:27
  you, and with every breath you become more aware of this inner
• 15:36
  gyroscope. And every time you think of that
• 15:40
  location, you can feel that the gyroscope spinning is spreading
• 15:48
  calm outwards, a feeling of a quiet steadiness, silent and
• 15:58
  comforting and stable. And even if the world moves,
• 16:05
  even if the ground shifts, and if you're on a sky or a bridge
• 16:10
  or walking down steps, that gyroscope spins smoothly and
• 16:17
  silently. I want you to feel a wonderful
• 16:26
  sense of balance and calm from the inside out, and then I want
• 16:40
  you to think of something in your future.
• 16:45
  Maybe a flight, or maybe being a passenger crossing a bridge, or
• 16:54
  maybe walking down a steep flight of stairs.
• 17:02
  But instead of being in your body, I want you to imagine
• 17:04
  seeing yourself like you're someone else.
• 17:08
  I want you to see a future version of you looking calm,
• 17:13
  relaxed, and stable in the very situations that used to cause
• 17:20
  anxiety. In fact, you could imagine
• 17:27
  seeing yourself walking down steep stairs at an airport to
• 17:32
  arrive at a checkout lounge, a departure lounge, and then see
• 17:38
  yourself perhaps going through a tunnel boarding the plane and
• 17:48
  see yourself taking a seat. And that seat represents
• 17:54
  stability and safety. So see yourself there looking
• 18:01
  calm and confident and stable, not because the environment
• 18:06
  changed, but because you did. And imagine you have X-ray eyes
• 18:11
  and you can see that gyroscope within the way you see yourself
• 18:18
  walking, moving, see yourself looking more relaxed with a
• 18:25
  steady gaze, breathing calmly. But I also want you to notice
• 18:32
  something that that future version of you, whenever there's
• 18:37
  unpredictable movements, is focusing their attention on the
• 18:46
  furthest point away. They're not looking at anything
• 18:52
  close, they're looking for the furthest point.
• 18:59
  I want you to get a sense that that version of you has new
• 19:05
  resources, new strategies. That shift in focus gives that
• 19:13
  future version of you a deep sense of orientation and
• 19:18
  stability, where you can feel rooted even in motion, and allow
• 19:28
  your intuition to activate the gyroscope whenever you need it
• 19:33
  most. If things are jumpy or volatile,
• 19:42
  that's when you need that gyroscope, and that future
• 19:46
  version of you will be flexible, not rigid.
• 19:48
  In those moments, relax, not tense in those moments.
• 19:53
  And I want you to see yourself looking for the most relaxed
• 20:00
  person around you and mimicking their facial expressions, their
• 20:07
  breathing, their muscle tension, knowing that when you adopt the
• 20:16
  same Physiology of that calm. Relax, confident person.
• 20:24
  Your body becomes more calm, confident and relaxed.
• 20:32
  And from this point on, anytime you feel a flicker of
• 20:38
  instability, just imagine. Imagine that silent, steady
• 20:45
  gyroscope right there in your solar plexus.
• 20:50
  And the more you focus on it, the more relaxed you become and
• 20:54
  the more balanced you feel, and the more natural that it is to
• 21:00
  remain grounded even when the world moves.
• 21:07
  Because from this point onwards, you are like that fresh bamboo.
• 21:15
  You're not resisting the movement, you're riding it,
• 21:23
  flowing with it, because your body knows how to adapt and your
• 21:28
  mind knows how to remain calm. And your inner gyroscope is
• 21:35
  always with you, effortlessly keeping you steady wherever you
• 21:41
  go. And maybe, maybe it makes sense
• 21:50
  to why a gyroscope is your Talisman, that the physical
• 22:00
  gyroscope enables you to visualize your inner gyroscope.
• 22:07
  And no matter how volatile any environment is, you seeing the
• 22:13
  stability of the inner part of the gyroscope will remind you.
• 22:17
  But that is also happening within you, and you can bring
• 22:22
  this feeling with you of calm, control and balance.
• 22:31
  I want you to imagine seeing a flight landing, see yourself
• 22:39
  leaving the flight and seeing someone you love and see
• 22:46
  yourself enjoying time with that person and know.
• 22:53
  But sometimes going outside of the comfort zone opens new
• 22:57
  doors, leads to more resilience, expands your comfort zone.
• 23:08
  And then you find yourself back on that airline chair out there
• 23:13
  in nature on the solid ground, and just feel how you would feel
• 23:19
  that you got to the end of your destination.
• 23:23
  And even though there may have been turbulence or sudden
• 23:28
  movements, you were able to feel that calm stability that you are
• 23:40
  the gyroscope. And as you hold that thought,
• 23:46
  it's time to return all the way back to the here and the now
• 23:51
  with a new way of thinking of movement and balance and
• 23:57
  stability. So take a deep breath in through
• 24:00
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 24:06
  Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
• 24:09
  Connect and calibrate into the here and the now as I now count
• 24:14
  from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 24:18
  Starting to count 123 waking up 456 more alert 7-8.
• 24:28
  Open your eyes. Open your eyes 910.
• 24:33
  Wide awake. Wide awake.
• 24:35
  Wide awake. Thank you for listening to The
