  issues. Brought to you by the

• 0:14
  royalty. Adam Cox.
• 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.
• 0:42
  Hi, it's Adam here. And in this hypnosis session,
• 0:46
  you're going to be listening to a hypnosis session about
• 0:49
  healing. And I was working with a client
• 0:53
  that had a long term health condition and it was a tumor and
• 0:58
  it wasn't aggressive, but it was certainly something they were
• 1:01
  concerned about. So this hypnosis session has two
• 1:05
  key components. There is a healing component,
• 1:09
  lots of healing suggestions that are based on the idea of
• 1:14
  recovery and healing and an acceleration of the healing, but
• 1:19
  it also uses multiple levels of disassociation.
• 1:24
  And some people believe that multiple levels of
• 1:27
  disassociation can actually enhance the hypnotic experience.
• 1:32
  One of my favorite movies is called Inception, and in the
• 1:37
  movie there's this idea of a dream within a dream within a
• 1:41
  dream within a dream. And actually I talk about this
• 1:44
  at conferences. I call it the Inception
• 1:46
  induction. It's a way of having levels of
• 1:49
  disassociation, also known as nested loops as a way to enhance
• 1:53
  the hypnotic experience. But recently I saw something
• 1:58
  which I found fascinating as a mnemonic for this inception
• 2:03
  induction and there is something called a recursive island.
• 2:08
  A recursive island is an island that exists within a lake, and
• 2:14
  that lake also exists within a bigger island.
• 2:18
  And there is a recursive island in northern Canada, very, very
• 2:23
  remote, which is an island within a lake within an island
• 2:28
  within a lake within an island within a lake.
• 2:30
  And it has like 5 or 6 lakes within islands.
• 2:34
  And they get increasingly smaller, almost like a Russian
• 2:37
  doll, but lakes within islands. And I thought, what a
• 2:41
  fascinating way to bring this client into the hypnosis session
• 2:47
  because they love to travel, they love nature, they love
• 2:50
  fresh air. So we have this idea of
• 2:53
  imagining this huge lake, finding an island, and then
• 2:58
  within that island there's another lake.
• 3:01
  So this is called a recursive island.
• 3:04
  And this hypnosis session is called the recursive island or
• 3:07
  the inception island, which is also known and you can Google
• 3:11
  that. And it's an island of healing.
• 3:15
  You don't need to have a tumor in order to benefit from this
• 3:19
  hypnosis session. I think if there is any health
• 3:22
  issue, and that could be physical health issue, it could
• 3:24
  be pain, it could be emotional health.
• 3:27
  Think of that when listening to the suggestions and let me know
• 3:32
  in the comments section if you feel that it's helped in some
• 3:36
  way. It's really good for me to get
• 3:37
  that feedback loop. It's always worth me saying that
• 3:42
  healing hypnosis or pain hypnosis isn't a substitute for
• 3:46
  seeing a doctor. So certainly see any kind of
• 3:49
  medical experts that you know, but it can be very complementary
• 3:53
  because then whatever process that you're going through to
• 3:56
  manage your health condition can be enhanced by the psychosomatic
• 4:02
  side of things, healing suggestions.
• 4:05
  Some people would even call it the placebo effect.
• 4:07
  But there's a bit going on in this hypnosis session which I
• 4:10
  think you'll appreciate. In order to benefit from this
• 4:14
  particular session, I would encourage you to find a quiet,
• 4:18
  comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
• 4:20
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 5:05
  you breathe in, just imagine breathing in a wonderful feeling
• 5:12
  of calm and relaxation, and as you exhale, feel a wonderful
• 5:19
  sense of release. The feelings of tension, stress,
• 5:25
  or worry are just leaving your body in your outward breath.
• 5:38
  Breathing in relaxation and exhaling that tension.
• 5:46
  And imagine breathing in bright white healing light.
• 5:55
  And just imagine this is hypnotic healing light, that as
• 6:00
  you breathe in that bright white healing light, it knows exactly
• 6:07
  what to do going into your lungs, your heart, distributing
• 6:15
  that healing light to every cell in your body.
• 6:19
  And I want you to imagine that your intuition and your immune
• 6:25
  system simply knows what shouldn't be there.
• 6:33
  And imagine that healing white light, finding anything that
• 6:38
  doesn't belong and swarming around it, almost creating a
• 6:46
  shell, a wrapper, a seal around anything that shouldn't be
• 6:54
  there, clearly communicating to your body.
• 6:59
  Then it's being contained, not just preventing any spread of
• 7:08
  something that doesn't belong, but starving it of whatever it
• 7:15
  needs so that it gets smaller and smaller, less influential.
• 7:25
  Consider this a way of enhancing your immune system's natural
• 7:33
  abilities. Imagine breathing in and
• 7:44
  breathing out, really settling into that comfortable position.
• 7:52
  And as your body relaxes, your imagination awakens, and I
• 7:57
  wonder if you could imagine standing quietly on the soft,
• 8:06
  sandy edge of a small, peaceful island.
• 8:16
  This is an island surrounded by a calm, shimmering lake
• 8:25
  stretching out in every direction, still silent and
• 8:33
  perfect. And the island itself is filled
• 8:38
  with an impressive forest. Now we need to get a sense that
• 8:47
  as you gaze across that first lake, you notice another larger
• 8:57
  island rising in the distance. And since this is your
• 9:04
  imagination, give yourself permission to float all the way
• 9:13
  over to the new island. And the second island feels even
• 9:21
  more serene, even more detached from the world you know.
• 9:26
  And when you step onto the shore, start exploring the
• 9:32
  forest on that island. And somewhere deep in the forest
• 9:41
  is yet another lake. I want you to get a sand.
• 9:46
  Then you're already on an island, and that island is
• 9:52
  within a lake. And within that lake is another
• 9:58
  island, and within that island is another lake, larger, deeper,
• 10:07
  even more peaceful than the first.
• 10:13
  And paradoxically, within that lake another island awaits.
• 10:21
  But this time you row, row to that new island in the middle of
• 10:29
  the lake that itself is an island in a greater lake.
• 10:38
  You are journeying now from island to lake to island to
• 10:42
  lake, and wherever you look is dense forest or still lakes.
• 10:52
  And each one carries you deeper inward, deeper into a state of
• 10:59
  calm, clear detachment, where the mind can rest and where the
• 11:07
  body can heal. And each step to a new island
• 11:14
  brings twice as much calm, twice as much safety, twice as much
• 11:22
  readiness to transform. You're now on an island within a
• 11:33
  lake within an island within a lake.
• 11:38
  And then you discover one final lake.
• 11:45
  It's of course smaller than the other lakes because it exists
• 11:50
  within the island within the lake, and this lake is shallow.
• 11:57
  This lake you can simply paddle and walk through until you want.
• 12:03
  Find one final island. A small island.
• 12:07
  No forest, but a little island on a small lake in an island
• 12:16
  within a lake which itself is inside an island in a greater
• 12:24
  lake. And as you step onto that third
• 12:31
  small island, surrounded by a third shimmering lake, you find
• 12:37
  yourself entering the deepest, quietest part of your inner
• 12:45
  world, a place where true healing begins.
• 12:58
  And here, in this beautiful, protected place, you realize
• 13:04
  that you have everything you need to restore, to renew, and
• 13:08
  to thrive. Your breathing slows when your
• 13:14
  muscles soften. Your mind opens fully to the
• 13:20
  healing power within you. And now, from this sacred inner
• 13:27
  space, real change can begin. Every cell in your body is
• 13:37
  awakening. Now imagine it receiving pure
• 13:41
  oxygen and perfect nourishment. Those healthy cells are growing
• 13:49
  stronger, even more healthier, and more vibrant.
• 13:54
  With every breath and each moment that passes, any
• 14:03
  inflammation gently fades away, dissolving like mist in the
• 14:09
  morning sunlight, leaving behind calm, healthy, thriving tissues.
• 14:20
  And here in this island, an island of healing, your body's
• 14:27
  natural intelligence is guiding every system, every organ, and
• 14:36
  every function back into balance, back into radiant,
• 14:44
  effortless health. And you feel a growing certainty
• 14:52
  that you are already healed at a deep level.
• 14:59
  Your body is simply unfolding the reality that your mind and
• 15:05
  heart have already chosen. There is a lag time, a lag time
• 15:13
  between your belief and the cells of your body catching up
• 15:20
  with that belief. And the more oxygen your cells
• 15:26
  receive, the more energized and youthful you feel.
• 15:33
  As vitality naturally expands throughout your entire being,
• 15:41
  you are now magnificently drawn to make healthier and healthier
• 15:46
  choices. It feels effortless,
• 15:52
  instinctive, and deeply satisfying to nurture your own
• 15:58
  life and energy, and every positive step you take
• 16:07
  multiplies across your body like ripples of healing, touching
• 16:12
  every organ, every system, every cell.
• 16:16
  Feel the ripple effect as you look out under that calm lake.
• 16:23
  Imagine throwing a stone, one stone, and that calm lake would
• 16:27
  create ripples across every element of that lake.
• 16:37
  One stone touches everything through the ripples.
• 16:44
  I want you to get a sense then the choices you're making aren't
• 16:49
  in isolation. Your body is holistic.
• 16:54
  One thing ripples to something else, which then influences
• 16:57
  something else. And in this system, nutrition
• 17:03
  becomes more than fuel, it becomes living medicine, and
• 17:11
  your cells eagerly absorb every drop, rebuilding you stronger,
• 17:17
  faster, lighter than ever before as you start to really feel that
• 17:23
  you're living now in a rising momentum of healing, where each
• 17:30
  good choice naturally triggers more good choices, compounding,
• 17:38
  amplifying, rippling, lifting you higher and healthier every
• 17:44
  day you can't help but feel. Then every day, in every way,
• 17:54
  you are feeling healthier and healthier.
• 17:59
  Do you feel compelled to choose even greater health, even
• 18:05
  greater vitality, because that is simply who you are now?
• 18:16
  And I wonder, bizarrely, on this small island, on a lake, on an
• 18:23
  island in a lake, on an island in a greater lake, if you could
• 18:29
  imagine seeing a 20 foot container, imagine the door of
• 18:36
  this container is open, it's clean, it's strong, it's
• 18:41
  powerful, and it's open and waiting for you.
• 18:45
  And I want you to think about all the things you want, not
• 18:50
  physical things, what level of health you want in your future,
• 18:57
  the beliefs you want in your future, the love, the
• 19:01
  experiences, memories that you're yet to form yet.
• 19:07
  I want you to imagine putting all of those things in the
• 19:10
  container and intentionally leaving everything else behind.
• 19:19
  The fact that there is scarcity in the container is not a
• 19:24
  problem, but an opportunity for you to be even more discerning.
• 19:33
  Because if you can be discerning with physical objects, then you
• 19:38
  can definitely be discerning with the energy you want to take
• 19:44
  with you, the emotions you want to take with you, the standards
• 19:49
  and strategies you want to take with you.
• 19:53
  You fill the container with everything you desire and leave
• 19:58
  everything else outside. This container contains
• 20:06
  everything you will need for your future, and everything else
• 20:12
  belongs in your past. And you get to take the wisdom
• 20:16
  from the past without holding on to any emotions.
• 20:21
  That no longer serve you from the past.
• 20:28
  Place into this container courage, hope, faith, and all of
• 20:33
  that. Wisdom, but also optimism, inner
• 20:39
  strength, powerful immunity, cellular healing.
• 20:47
  Place that in the container, but everything in that you desire.
• 20:54
  But negativity, regrets, shame and anger, all of that belongs
• 21:04
  in the past. You can learn from it without
• 21:08
  being attached to it. And when you feel that that
• 21:12
  container contains everything you want in your future, imagine
• 21:17
  closing the door and let me know by nodding your head.
• 21:24
  And imagine a helicopter, a helicopter of healing, attach
• 21:33
  chains to that container. And imagine seeing this
• 21:38
  helicopter taking this container of everything you desire and
• 21:44
  flying into your future, realizing that all of this is
• 21:50
  your future and everything else is left behind.
• 21:55
  The wisdom from the past is in the container, but everything
• 22:00
  else is left behind. All those heavy emotions, any
• 22:05
  toxic emotions, that's all behind you.
• 22:14
  Get a sense then, any fears, doubts, old habits, past
• 22:20
  struggles, that you can stay on this little island as it's time
• 22:26
  for you to come back to your reality, knowing that the
• 22:31
  wonderful things are in your future.
• 22:34
  So you weighed down that shallow, quiet, still lake.
• 22:40
  I don't want you to see any baggage left on the island as
• 22:48
  you walk through a dense forest and then see a larger lake.
• 22:55
  Imagine rowing over that lake, going through an even denser
• 22:59
  forest, and then deciding to float over the largest lake.
• 23:05
  But instead of going back to the shore, go all the way back to
• 23:11
  your present, to where you are right now, the version of you,
• 23:17
  where your mind and body work together in perfect harmony,
• 23:22
  where each healthy thought amplifies that healthy internal
• 23:27
  chemistry. Return to a version of you where
• 23:33
  your immune system is strengthening every second.
• 23:39
  Intelligent, precise, powerful, clearing away everything that
• 23:46
  does not belong and protecting everything that does.
• 23:51
  Return to that version of you, a healing version of you, the
• 23:56
  healing version of you, gravitating to that wonderful
• 23:59
  future. As you feel connected with the
• 24:03
  present, notice a feeling of joy and gratitude rising up inside
• 24:09
  you with a deep knowing that the path of healing is already
• 24:16
  underway. You're just building on momentum
• 24:19
  that's already there. You are accelerating beautifully
• 24:25
  forward along this momentum, and you can trust more than ever
• 24:30
  before your body's wisdom, your intuition, and your inner
• 24:36
  knowing. When you think about your
• 24:40
  future, isn't it filled with optimistic, wonderful thoughts?
• 24:49
  Everything you need for perfect healing already exists within
• 24:53
  you. But it's time to awaken feeling
• 24:58
  fully joyful, healthy, and riding that wave of momentum of
• 25:07
  healing. So take a deep breath in through
• 25:11
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 25:17
  Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
• 25:19
  Start to connect and calibrate into the here and the now as I
• 25:23
  now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 25:28
  Starting to count 123 waking up 456 more alert 7-8.
• 25:37
  Open your eyes. Open your eyes 910 Wide awake,
• 25:42
  Wide awake. Wide awake.
