  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 Smith 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 deep sleep
• 0:43
  hypnosis session that is designed to do 2 things.
• 0:47
  One, help you have a really good night's sleep.
• 0:51
  And the second thing is to break a dependency or habit of using
• 0:58
  your phone immediately before going to bed.
• 1:02
  And that's important for a couple of reasons. 1 is that a
• 1:06
  lot of the applications that people use right before they go
• 1:10
  to sleep give them either dopamine or some kind of
• 1:15
  stimulation. So that's not conducive to a
• 1:18
  restful night's sleep. And the second thing is that it
• 1:22
  can create open loops. So it might be that you've
• 1:25
  learned something and you're wondering about what the next
• 1:28
  thing is. Or it might be that there's an A
• 1:30
  message exchange, but you. Haven't you?
• 1:33
  Don't know what the next message is going to be and these open
• 1:36
  loops actually make it more difficult to sleep.
• 1:40
  So what's included in this hypnosis session?
• 1:43
  Is a. Suggestion of having a boundary
• 1:47
  that also creates friction and there's two parts to this
• 1:50
  boundary 1 is. Physically.
• 1:52
  Turning your phone off. I mentioned 10:00 PM here
• 1:55
  because that's the client that I was working with and that's what
• 1:57
  they wanted. You can set that time, whichever
• 2:00
  is the right time for you, but physically turning it off then
• 2:04
  has the suggestion that as you turn the phone off, you're
• 2:07
  priming your brain to get ready for sleep.
• 2:10
  And the second thing is that people that really are, let's
• 2:14
  say, addicted or have lots of use on their phone and they're
• 2:18
  used to getting that dopamine, quite often will wake up three
• 2:21
  or four or five times a night and kind of check their phone.
• 2:24
  So this also has the suggestion of using a time safe.
• 2:28
  A time safe is like a small metal box with a code on the on
• 2:34
  the the front where you set the time that it locks and the time
• 2:37
  that it opens. So that way, even if you're
• 2:40
  tempted to kind of check your phone at 1:00 AM, you can't
• 2:44
  access it. And that can be a really helpful
• 2:46
  way not to live that way permanently, but to break the
• 2:49
  pattern of dependency or automatic checking or scrolling.
• 2:55
  This session is about 15 minutes long, but then it has an extra
• 2:59
  30 minutes of. Theta wave music.
• 3:01
  So there's around about 45 minutes here, which is more than
• 3:05
  enough. If you are listening on some
• 3:08
  kind of device, it doesn't have to be your phone.
• 3:11
  It could be a different device that you're listening to this
• 3:13
  on. Some people listen through some
• 3:15
  of the smart speakers like an Alexa device, and some people
• 3:18
  listen through their laptop. If you are listening, and this
• 3:22
  is my hack that I use for myself, sometimes I'll listen to
• 3:26
  my own hypnosis sessions through a smart speaker.
• 3:30
  And when I'm listening, I then give it the command to sleep
• 3:35
  after a certain amount of time. So I might say sleep after 20
• 3:38
  minutes knowing that there's nothing I have to turn off or
• 3:41
  switch off at the end. It's going to do it by itself.
• 3:44
  So you can. Borrow that hack.
• 3:46
  If it's useful, if you like this kind of stuff, it's always
• 3:49
  helpful for the algorithm. If you can either like
• 3:51
  subscribe, follow, share, anything like that, it's really
• 3:54
  helpful. And if you like the idea of
• 3:56
  working with me directly, maybe for a bespoke sleep session,
• 4:00
  there will be a link in the show notes where you can book a free
• 4:02
  30 minute consultation call. So rather than listening for a
• 4:06
  recording that was created for someone else, you can actually
• 4:09
  have the experience live and get the recording created entirely
• 4:13
  for you. So if that appeals, check that
• 4:16
  out. Now this.
• 4:16
  Is a sleep. Hypnosis session.
• 4:18
  So normally I don't recommend that people listen to this right
• 4:22
  before they go to sleep. But this is.
• 4:25
  A sleep hypnosis session. This is the exception.
• 4:27
  So at the end you're going to hear either an awakening or a
• 4:32
  deepener depending on the context.
• 4:34
  So if you listen to this and you don't plan on sleeping straight
• 4:36
  away. Then treat the count.
• 4:38
  From 1:00 to 10:00 as an awakener.
• 4:40
  But if you're listening to this and you're in bed and your
• 4:42
  head's already on the pillow, then the one to 10 will actually
• 4:45
  be a deepener, allowing you to drift into sleep.
• 4:49
  So ideally, the best way to get the most out of this session
• 4:52
  would be actually to listen in bed, ideally not on your phone
• 4:56
  device. So find that comfortable place,
• 5:00
  ideally your bed, relax and enjoy the session.
• 5:14
  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in that
• 5:23
  slow, long, relaxing breath. And as you exhale, feel that
• 5:31
  sense of release, as if tension, stress, or worries are starting
• 5:41
  to leave your body in your outward breath.
• 5:49
  And when you breathe in, breathe in deeper than you normally
• 5:55
  would, and as you exhale, just allow the outward breath to go
• 6:07
  on even longer, so that each breath takes you deeper than the
• 6:17
  last, hoping you feel a sense of increasing relaxation.
• 6:32
  Notice with your eyes closed how much easier it becomes to focus
• 6:40
  on the sound of my voice, breathing in and breathing out,
• 6:47
  slow, long and deep. And with every breath your body
• 6:54
  relaxes a little more. And maybe you can notice
• 7:00
  physical changes, perhaps tension releasing around your
• 7:07
  shoulders, maybe your arms feeling loose or heavy, and your
• 7:16
  eyelids rest so comfortably, as if they were meant to stay
• 7:21
  closed for deep relaxation. And as you continue breathing
• 7:31
  slowly and deeply, you can imagine a wave of calm moving
• 7:37
  from the top of your head down through your body, all the way
• 7:45
  into your toes. With each wave, your mind
• 7:53
  becomes quieter and your body feels more relaxed or heavier,
• 8:00
  yet still supported, safe and ready to drift deeply.
• 8:11
  Because as your body relaxes, your imagination awakens.
• 8:19
  And that's what a memory is, harnessing the power of your
• 8:25
  imagination to reactivate certain neural networks and
• 8:31
  pathways. So now I'd like you to remember
• 8:37
  a particular time. A time where you know for
• 8:45
  certain you had an incredible night's sleep.
• 8:53
  And maybe maybe it was when you were on a holiday in that
• 9:01
  relaxed state of mind and you can recall the accommodation or
• 9:08
  the bed where you were sleeping. Or maybe it was a time when you
• 9:15
  were visiting someone, maybe a friend.
• 9:20
  Maybe there was a dedicated space that had no connotation
• 9:26
  other than to sleep. And I want you to picture that
• 9:32
  comfortable bed in that dedicated space.
• 9:39
  And then imagine you're in that room feeling cosy, welcoming,
• 9:49
  and everything about it signals primes that this is a place for
• 9:58
  deep rest. And just imagine you're wearing
• 10:03
  whatever clothing is suitable to sleep and imagine.
• 10:10
  Getting into that. Bed feeling the softness of the
• 10:14
  pillow, the comfort and firmness of the mattress, or the warmth
• 10:24
  of a duvet. And I want you to feel how you
• 10:31
  felt back then. Safe, relaxed and comfortable.
• 10:42
  And you may remember, but I want you to feel how easy it was to
• 10:48
  fall asleep there, as if your whole body already knew that
• 10:56
  this was a place only for sleeping and nothing else.
• 11:04
  And as you relive that moment, those same neural pathways of
• 11:10
  good restorative sleep are reactivating now, only this time
• 11:18
  stronger and stronger, reminding your mind and body what it feels
• 11:28
  like to drift easily into deep, nourishing rest.
• 11:40
  And as you enjoy this memory, you can notice and evaluate that
• 11:49
  this feels more rewarding than any scream, any app, any
• 11:59
  notification that from now on your brain begins to associate
• 12:06
  the evening not with stimulation, with winding down,
• 12:15
  with calm and with peace. As I count down from 5 to 1, I
• 12:25
  want you to imagine what it would feel like to drift off
• 12:29
  into a dreamlike sleep. There in that bed, on that
• 12:35
  pillow. 5 eyelids getting heavier. 4, your body relaxing,
• 12:44
  Three, your breathing slowing down even more, Two, you're
• 12:51
  accessing that state just before sleep happens.
• 12:57
  And one, just imagine drifting off into a dream like sleep.
• 13:05
  And some dreams can give wonderful insights, ideas, new
• 13:13
  ways of thinking that can improve the quality of your
• 13:18
  sleep and your life. And in that dreamlike sleep, I
• 13:25
  want you to imagine a near future.
• 13:30
  And in that near future, see yourself with productive blocks
• 13:38
  of chime there in the daytime, maybe blocks of four or five
• 13:44
  hours separated with a break and then another block.
• 13:52
  See yourself intentionally more focused and determined in those
• 13:58
  blocks of time, so that as it turns into evening, you see that
• 14:07
  version of you actively looking forward to sleep.
• 14:14
  But I want you to see yourself with a new ritual, A boundary.
• 14:21
  I want you to see that as it leaves 9:00 and approaches 10,
• 14:32
  you know this is already the winding down time.
• 14:38
  Maybe there's certain rituals about what you do during that
• 14:43
  time, a signal to yourself to get ready, to decompress, to
• 14:53
  relax. To unwind but.
• 15:01
  Part of this ritual is either at 10:00 PM or before you actively
• 15:11
  switch your phone off completely.
• 15:16
  Not putting it on airplane mode, and not just putting it out of
• 15:21
  sight, but switching it off. And as you turn the phone off,
• 15:28
  you are sending a message to your unconscious that your brain
• 15:35
  can also turn off that conscious, logical, analytical
• 15:41
  part and go into that relaxing, intuitive, unwinding part.
• 15:50
  But maybe you see yourself reinforcing your boundary, not
• 15:57
  because you have to, but because you want to.
• 16:02
  And imagine seeing that after you physically turned that phone
• 16:09
  off, see yourself putting the phone in a time safe.
• 16:21
  It's time safe means that after 10:00 PM it's locked.
• 16:27
  You simply can't access it and it only opens when the time is
• 16:36
  set to open and you get to decide what time that is, maybe
• 16:45
  that 7:00 AM or 8:00 AM or later you.
• 16:49
  Decide and in. Doing so, you're not missing out
• 17:01
  by having this boundary, this friction.
• 17:07
  You know that your phone is completely out of reach until
• 17:13
  morning, and as it locks away, so does the stimulation, the
• 17:19
  noise, the distractions, and you can almost hear your mind sigh
• 17:27
  with relief as you're now free to really unwind and recharge.
• 17:40
  I want you to imagine in this dreamlike sleep, seeing that
• 17:45
  even after just a few days of this ritual, you're sleeping
• 17:50
  better, you're more productive in the daytime.
• 17:57
  And it's not that you can't use your phone, you're just using
• 18:02
  your phone intentionally. If you need to learn something,
• 18:07
  it's there. You need to connect with
• 18:11
  someone, it's there. And you may even have certain
• 18:18
  environments where you feel that that dead time can be used to
• 18:26
  check social media for updates, notifications and alerts.
• 18:33
  Maybe it's the time when you're queuing and there's nothing else
• 18:36
  to do when you're waiting for someone or something.
• 18:42
  What if that's the time to check, turning dead time into
• 18:47
  useful time? But this doesn't have to be at
• 18:55
  night. Those evenings of late night
• 19:02
  scrolling I've only hindered your sleep, which has impeded
• 19:08
  your productivity. So see a future where you're
• 19:14
  sleeping better, waking more energized, being more productive
• 19:21
  in those blocks of time. And see that you're getting your
• 19:25
  dopamine now from accomplishments, achievements,
• 19:32
  and satisfaction, not from the temporary gratification of a a
• 19:38
  like or notification or a message.
• 19:47
  And then I want you to imagine further in the future.
• 19:53
  Imagine yourself on holiday. And I want you to now compare.
• 20:01
  That quality of sleep that you get on holiday, it's very
• 20:05
  similar to the quality of sleep you're getting in day-to-day
• 20:09
  life, because whether you're in holiday mode or work mode, you
• 20:19
  now have a way to activate sleep mode.
• 20:25
  Part of that ritual is turning your phone off, making it
• 20:31
  inaccessible for a certain period of time.
• 20:37
  Because you don't need to wait for a holiday to feel this way.
• 20:43
  You can feel relaxed and comfortable and enjoy sleep
• 20:51
  whenever you choose so that every night can feel like a
• 20:58
  holiday, your body and mind. And very soon I will count from
• 21:10
  1:00 to 10:00. And if you're listening this at
• 21:14
  a time when you want to awaken, then you will awaken.
• 21:20
  But if you happen to be listening to this when the time
• 21:25
  is right to sleep, then as I count from 1:00 to 10:00 it will
• 21:31
  simply take you deeper into that sleep like state starting to
• 21:41
  count 123, 456, 789 and 10. Yeah.
• 23:30
  The. The.
• 25:30
  None. The.
• 31:00
  The. None.
• 34:30
  A. A.
• 35:30
  The. Yeah.
• 36:30
  The. The.
• 39:00
  The. Yeah.
