0:05
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, CEOs and even royalty, Adam Cox.
0:20
These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's
0:24
world famous Harley Street. So get yourself comfortable and
0:31
enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
0:39
Hi, it's Adam here and you're about to listen to a hypnosis
0:42
session all about preparing for exams and I was working with a
0:49
client in the medical. Field.
0:51
Already very successful, but they.
0:54
Wanted to complete a. Particular set of exams that
0:58
would enable them to take their career onwards and upwards.
1:02
And they tried this exam a few times before and I could see the
1:06
conflict where they were looking at it as a means to an end.
1:10
They had to study a lot of information, but they didn't
1:13
really see the point. Other than just.
1:16
Passing the exam and that becomes circular because it's
1:19
much easier to retain information if you are
1:23
interested in the subject matter.
1:26
You probably know someone that is really into a particular
1:29
sport. Maybe that's football or
1:32
basketball or baseball, and they can recall complex statistics
1:38
names effortlessly because they're passionate and
1:41
enthusiastic about that topic, and someone else that isn't
1:45
interested in that sport could spend weeks memorizing those
1:50
same statistics and same names and same details and their
1:54
recall would be. Atrocious.
1:57
Because. Emotion is 1.
1:58
Of the key things that helps with memory and also utility if
2:03
you are being taught something that you can't see the point,
2:07
you're not going to recall it in the same way that if you feel
2:10
it's going to be beneficial or useful.
2:12
So a lot of what's happening in this hypnosis session is this
2:16
idea that they are tapping into, this ability to prepare to do it
2:23
easily, that it's effortless to learn mainly by activating
2:27
enthusiasm, fascination, curiosity, because the more
2:31
curious you are and fascinated you are in a topic.
2:35
Then. It's easier.
2:36
To recall that, and I did pretty good at school and uni because I
2:41
thought I was smart. But where I really did well
2:44
academically and I don't consider myself an academic
2:47
person is when I did my postgraduate qualifications in
2:50
clinical hypnotherapy because I was so interested in hypnosis.
2:55
I went from someone doing pretty good to getting very, very good
2:59
grades, like distinctions and everything that I did.
3:02
Not because I was any smarter than I used to be, but because I
3:04
was very, very interested in what I was learning.
3:08
That makes the difference. There were people doing the same
3:11
course that I did that they were just doing it and they weren't
3:14
really interested in it. And for them it was much more
3:17
difficult. It was much more of a struggle
3:20
for them to get the same level of grades.
3:22
So if you're listening to this and you want to kind of level up
3:25
academically or take your career to the next level, but it
3:28
requires preparation or revision to do that.
3:32
This might be useful because even though it was medical stuff
3:35
for the client and it might be something else for you, this
3:39
idea of. Feeling that even.
3:40
If you don't know why, it could be really useful and beneficial
3:43
to learn this stuff. Is going to help.
3:46
You to actually. Get the outcome.
3:49
That you want. Of course.
3:51
It was created for an individual.
3:52
Some of the references might be very relevant to the.
3:55
Client and not. At all relevant to you in which
3:59
case in the description is going to be a link where you can
4:01
schedule a completely free consultation call we'll have a
4:04
chat over Zoom and it might be that I end up being your
4:07
hypnotherapist rather than just a podcast that you listen to and
4:11
that might be something beneficial for you so consider
4:15
that but for now find a quiet comfortable place the kind of
4:19
place where you're not going to be distracted or disturbed relax
4:22
and. Enjoy the session,
4:38
take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in that
4:47
resourceful feeling of calm and relaxation.
4:51
And as you exhale, just feel a wonderful feeling of release, as
5:01
if any tension, any stress, any worries are starting to leave
5:09
your body in your outward breath, breathing and relaxation
5:18
and exhaling tension. Each breath takes you deeper and
5:29
deeper, relaxed. In fact, the deeper you breathe,
5:36
the more relaxed you become. And the more relaxed you become,
5:43
the deeper you breathe as you really activate that diaphragm.
5:53
And you can do that just by breathing out for longer than
5:56
you normally would, so when there's nothing left in your
6:00
lungs. It forces a deeper.
6:03
Breath in from the diaphragm. Effortless deeper breathing
6:11
creates effortless deeper relaxation, and as your body
6:18
relaxes, your imagination awakens.
6:24
And just imagine floating back maybe 3 or 4 years ago to a time
6:34
when you were studying in a curious, calm, interested way.
6:44
Just float back to that time and see how you looked back then,
6:52
see the level of confidence, see almost how there was then
7:00
projection and knowing kind of like a superstar, a rock star in
7:10
the world of that area. And I want you to imagine
7:16
breathing, how you brought back then mimic the facial
7:22
expressions. And I want you to think of a
7:26
time when you were learning a lot, preparing well back then.
7:33
Maybe a time when you were walking in a park in between
7:38
study under blue skies and sunshine.
7:44
And if you can recall a time like that out in nature, but at
7:49
the very time where your brain and your mind was absorbing lots
7:53
of new information, just let me know by nodding your head.
7:58
And then just imagine floating into that version of you feel
8:06
how it would feel to have unshakable confidence that what
8:10
you're learning will enable you to progress.
8:16
But if you prepare well, you will do well.
8:21
And just imagine finding a place to relax.
8:24
Maybe imagine lying on the grass or sitting on a bench.
8:33
Just imagine what it would feel like to have the sunshine on
8:35
your skin. Imagine your breathing slows
8:40
down and just imagine what it would be like to close your eyes
8:49
within a thought, taking you even deeper, relaxed.
8:57
Imagine the breeze, the sunshine with eyes closed at a time when
9:03
your brain was learning things effortlessly.
9:08
And back then you required so much discipline and willpower,
9:16
but more high standards. High standards and a desire, a
9:23
motivation to learn something that would enhance the quality
9:29
of your life. And as you reconnect with that
9:34
version of you breathing in and breathing out in that quiet
9:42
place where you can think clearly, feel deeply, and choose
9:47
powerfully, I want you to get a sense that right now, you're not
9:55
trying to change who you are. What if you're uncovering who
10:01
you've always been in that dream, within a dream?
10:07
Imagine a library, and imagine standing at the doorway of a
10:12
library that belongs only to you, where every shelf is filled
10:19
with your skills, your memories. Your capabilities.
10:27
And as you step inside your own library, the lights brighten
10:33
just enough for clarity and the air feels calm enough for focus.
10:40
Then just imagine you're in a dialogue, in a very fascinated,
10:45
curious, and yet confident way. Says I am ready.
10:54
Ready to prepare, Ready to grow. And what if you're finally ready
11:00
to move forward? Some Stoics believe that
11:07
whatever the block or the barrier is, is exactly the way
11:15
you need to be moving forward. The barrier becomes the way, The
11:21
blocks, the hesitations, the setbacks are the way.
11:27
And as you start to feel that, imagine finding a desk or a
11:34
table there in that library, and just imagine whatever's in front
11:41
of you is things that would be useful to learn, recall, and
11:47
understand. And as you stare into that
11:50
information with each breath, your focus deepens and you're
11:57
not drifting. You're honing and sharpening
12:03
that cognitive resource called learning, and I want you to feel
12:11
that in this space you notice a simple truth forming that the
12:19
more curious, relaxed, confident and enthusiastic you are as you
12:24
prepare, the easier the recall becomes later.
12:32
But also the opposite belief is also true, that if you're
12:37
learning something just for the sake of it that isn't useful,
12:42
your unconscious mind will take the view that it isn't
12:45
important, making it harder to recall.
12:50
So just accept that curiosity opens the mind, relaxation opens
12:59
memory, confidence locks it in and enthusiasm connects
13:06
everything and your unconscious begins accepting a core
13:14
identity. You are a fast learner and when
13:22
you understand something, you recall it effortlessly.
13:29
Doesn't need to be forced and it's not pretending this is
13:35
believing it until you achieve it and you have so much evidence
13:43
that this belief is already true.
13:47
How many things have you learnt that other people couldn't or
13:52
didn't? You are a fast learner, but you
13:58
learn better when what you're learning about feels like it
14:02
matters and is useful. And when that identity takes
14:08
hold, a lot of emotions, concentration, and preparation
14:15
automatically change. As you sit at that desk in your
14:23
own library, get a sense that your unconscious is beginning to
14:29
install new patterns. There is the Fast learner
14:35
identity, where you learn quickly, understand rapidly.
14:42
And when you understand, recalling becomes automatic.
14:51
I want you to get a feeling that another belief is also true that
14:56
exam preparation becomes easy. It might have felt hard in the
15:02
past, but what if that is because what you were learning
15:08
didn't feel important or useful? So when you prepare with focus,
15:15
interest, and clarity, exam preparation becomes easier and
15:22
more enjoyable. And the calmer you study, the
15:27
more the information sticks. When you revise relaxed, you
15:34
retrieve relaxed, meaning both the preparation and the exam
15:41
brings down any anxiety to a level optimized for doing well.
15:51
Curiosity makes everything easier.
15:58
The mind might start to ask you what is interesting about this?
16:05
What can I use this for? Some people study general
16:10
knowledge just because they like to learn.
16:14
And because the mind loves questions, it starts finding
16:18
answers automatically. Why is this important?
16:26
What needs to happen for me to care about this?
16:33
And we need to get a sense that learning doesn't have to happen
16:35
at a desk. You will start to see new
16:38
opportunities to learn everywhere.
16:44
Podcasts while walking or at the gym.
16:48
Mental rehearsal while cooking or travelling.
16:52
Summaries while resting the mind.
16:59
Love stories. What if there's a way of asking
17:04
some artificial intelligence tool to take all of this
17:10
knowledge you're trying to remember and recall and weave it
17:14
into a story so that learning blends into life?
17:20
Effortless, continuous, and natural.
17:28
We need to get a feeling that even if you don't yet know how
17:34
you use something, doesn't mean it won't be useful in the
17:38
future. The moment whatever you're
17:43
learning and preparing feels useful, helpful, and beneficial,
17:50
then your unconscious will start to sort, organize, and store it
17:54
because you trust that it will be useful one day.
18:01
Most people have a cupboard, a cabinet or a drawer where they
18:06
keep things that they don't need right now, but they keep them
18:12
because. There is a belief.
18:16
That at some point in the future they may be useful.
18:23
I want you to get a feeling that what you're learning is like
18:25
that. Even if it doesn't feel that
18:29
helpful now, there could be a time in the future when it's
18:34
really useful, and that's why your mind keeps it. want you to
18:46
get a sense that you've been here before, preparing.
18:53
Some people believe that the definition of insanity is doing
18:57
the same things and. Expecting a different.
18:59
Result. Which is why this preparation
19:05
has differences. More curiosity, more
19:09
fascination, but also taking real primal drives and turning
19:17
them into rewards for meeting your standards.
19:21
I want you to think of the thoughts that often come to
19:24
mind, the kind of things that may feel distracting, but I want
19:31
you to feel these could be the motivation, the cheerleading,
19:39
the encouragement on the way. As what if in advance you decide
19:47
that when you raise your standards for exam preparation,
19:52
working out, or eating well, then you earn something
19:57
indulgent because you deserve it.
20:02
If you just do the indulgent thing, it loses its appeal.
20:08
But when you've had to work hard, study hard, do something
20:13
difficult to earn it, you win twice.
20:17
Your life gets better by doing difficult things.
20:21
And you enjoy the reward because you've earned it and deserve it.
20:30
I want you to get a feeling that this preparation could very well
20:34
be a symbolic final battle, a gateway you pass through so you
20:40
can move forward with your life, your goals, your career.
20:49
The more you're invested and interested in what you're
20:52
learning, the easier it becomes to overcome this final symbolic
21:00
battle. And you're not fighting against
21:04
anything. You are fighting for something.
21:09
And that thing is your future. And every time you take action,
21:15
you are winning. Every time you prepare with
21:20
curiosity, fascination and enthusiasm, you are winning.
21:26
Every time you have a great work out, you are winning.
21:31
And every time you turn down that snack or that processed
21:37
foods, you are winning. So allow the mind to turn to
21:47
your body, your habits and your standards and you begin feeling
21:53
something vitally important. Hard, difficult things grow you,
22:01
tough choices strengthen you, and effort teaches you who you
22:07
really are. What if healthy eating becomes
22:12
an act of self respect? The training in the gym becomes
22:17
evidence of your. Identity and.
22:20
Sticking to your plan becomes the main source of your
22:23
dopamine, not shortcuts, not comfort and not laziness.
22:31
What if you get your dopamine from consistency and not chaos,
22:36
from standards and not moods, from progress and not
22:43
procrastination, and with every healthy action you take you feel
22:51
more confident? More capable.
22:55
And more proud of yourself from now on.
23:02
Motivation becomes momentum. Focus becomes your default
23:08
state. Willpower becomes identity
23:13
driven and discipline becomes something you are not, something
23:19
you try to do. Preparation becomes empowering,
23:26
Learning becomes enjoyable. And what if progress becomes
23:33
addictive? You are someone who shows up.
23:38
You are someone who follows through.
23:41
You are someone who grows through challenge, and you are
23:45
someone who wins by becoming better.
23:52
Now back to that desk in that library.
23:55
And just imagine seeing a screen there on the desk where you get
24:01
to see yourself in the near future.
24:07
Observe how you wake up with clarity, how you prepare with
24:12
confidence. See how you revise with interest
24:17
and curiosity. See yourself learning faster
24:21
than ever. See yourself recalling easily,
24:27
acting consistently. And there is a new posture, a
24:32
new facial expression. You can see in your future that
24:35
you are proud of your discipline, where you feel
24:39
momentum building. And I want you to get a sense
24:44
that what if right now is the turning point, the moment
24:50
everything shifted, you believed in, you achieved in, and you
24:56
moved forward. And just feel all of those
25:02
future changes taking place within you now, when your
25:10
unconscious has accepted these new beliefs, new standards, and
25:15
taking a primal Dr. and turned it into a reward.
25:20
Let me know by nodding your head.
25:24
That's it. So imagine leaving the library,
25:30
finding yourself back there in nature, sun on your skin.
25:34
And then imagine floating all the way back to your present as
25:38
you take a deep breath in through your nose and out
25:43
through your nose. Wiggle your fingers and wiggle
25:46
your toes. Connect and calibrate into the
25:50
here and the now, understanding that this has been a wonderful
25:56
journey within your imagination. A journey of thoughts within
26:01
thoughts, ideas within ideas, and dreams within dreams.
26:09
