• 0:40
  Hi, it's Adam here. And in today's episode of The
• 0:43
  Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a hypnosis session
• 0:46
  all about body shame and body confidence.
• 0:50
  And I was working with a client that as a result of having a
• 0:56
  parental figure that was quite judgmental of particularly
• 1:01
  female bodies, that led them to almost hold back and, and feel
• 1:08
  shame or awkwardness, awkwardness or discomfort around
• 1:13
  their body. And they wanted to break this
• 1:16
  kind of part of them. They were on a vacation in Spain
• 1:20
  before they returned back to their home.
• 1:22
  They wanted to bring back with them the confident version of
• 1:27
  them. And I like to work backwards.
• 1:29
  And I asked his client, it's like, what would you only be
• 1:33
  able to do if you had this pure body confidence And those two
• 1:36
  things that they said, one was to dance in front of other
• 1:40
  people in a confident way. And the other thing was to wear
• 1:44
  a bikini. And that's what you're going to
• 1:46
  hear in this session is an element of accessing that
• 1:51
  resourceful feeling and doing in their imagination to begin with,
• 1:56
  but with the intention to do it in reality.
• 1:59
  And there is that saying, I think it's kind of love like
• 2:03
  you've never been her and dance like no one's watching.
• 2:06
  And that element of having that confidence to kind of be free of
• 2:10
  judgement and have that body confidence works quite well.
• 2:13
  And they could think of someone that had that level of body
• 2:17
  confidence. So in a way, there's a
• 2:20
  performance anxiety technique used here where they observe
• 2:24
  someone with the resource that they want, tap into that
• 2:27
  resource and then feel like they're doing it for themselves
• 2:30
  and then after the session, setting the intention to do it
• 2:32
  in reality. So this I think will resonate
• 2:36
  more with women, particularly with a bikini reference.
• 2:39
  But anyone can feel more body confident and I think having
• 2:44
  that intention is quite helpful. So set the intention.
• 2:48
  And if you do like the idea of working with me directly, click
• 2:51
  the link in the show notes. We can schedule a free
• 2:53
  consultation call, have a chat. I might be the right
• 2:55
  hypnotherapist for you. In the meantime though, find a
• 2:58
  quiet, comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
• 3:01
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 3:32
  you breathe in, just imagine breathing in a feeling of warm
• 3:38
  relaxation. And as you exhale, just allow
• 3:45
  yourself to feel that tension, stress or worries is leaving
• 3:53
  your body in that outward breath.
• 4:03
  Breathing in, relaxation and exhaling tension.
• 4:09
  As you allow yourself to feel that you're drifting to a place
• 4:15
  where change is just natural and effortless.
• 4:22
  As you breathe in and breathe out, allow yourself to feel, but
• 4:28
  you're becoming more and more relaxed.
• 4:33
  Feel the tension melting away from your body, almost like warm
• 4:39
  waves just washing over you, smoothing away or diluting any
• 4:47
  stress or worries. When you breathe in, just
• 4:53
  imagine breathing in a vibrant colour that represents
• 4:59
  confidence, maybe a bright yellow, orange or something
• 5:05
  else. As you breathe in, just imagine
• 5:09
  breathing in that confidence, and as you exhale, imagine a
• 5:16
  dark shadowy colour leaving in your outward breath that just
• 5:22
  represents any shame or insecurities.
• 5:28
  Breathing in confidence, exhaling shame.
• 5:34
  And you can consider this an emotional transfusion, breathing
• 5:42
  in what your body needs and exhaling some of the emotional
• 5:48
  baggage from maybe many years ago.
• 5:53
  Some of that shame you're releasing doesn't even belong to
• 5:58
  you, It's just thoughts and ideas that were accumulated
• 6:05
  perhaps in childhood or adolescence.
• 6:09
  Feel that shame leaving your body and then breathe in even
• 6:14
  more of that distilled self-confidence.
• 6:21
  The deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you become, And the more
• 6:26
  relaxed you become, the more your imagination awakens.
• 6:34
  And I wonder if you could imagine standing on a beautiful
• 6:38
  beach in the South of Spain. Maybe you could imagine golden
• 6:45
  sands, perhaps a gentle breeze. Maybe you could imagine seeing
• 6:54
  palm trees nearby. And maybe there's other clues
• 7:00
  that you're there in the South of Spain.
• 7:05
  Maybe it's sounds and senses, smells.
• 7:13
  Maybe there's an energy, an ambience around you.
• 7:16
  And imagine being there on the sandy part of that beach.
• 7:24
  Maybe you could imagine the sand being soft or even warm.
• 7:29
  And imagine hearing the rhythmic sounds of the waves gently
• 7:35
  breaking on the shore. Maybe you could imagine people
• 7:43
  in conversation or music playing further away.
• 7:47
  Just get a sense that you feel comfortable and relaxed in this
• 7:53
  place and with each breath in you inhale peace, relaxation and
• 8:04
  confidence. And as you exhale, you are
• 8:10
  releasing any tension, any doubts, or any lingering
• 8:16
  self-conscious thoughts. Feel that you're letting that
• 8:21
  baggage go. And as you let the baggage go,
• 8:27
  feel your body becoming lighter, as if the very air around you is
• 8:34
  supporting you, comforting you, encouraging you.
• 8:43
  As you walk along the shore, someone catches your eye.
• 8:49
  I want to see someone dancing on the beach.
• 8:54
  Not awkwardly dancing or self consciously dancing.
• 9:00
  See them being uninhibited, oozing confidence, full of self
• 9:08
  acceptance. See the way their body moves to
• 9:14
  the rhythm of the music, their body free, fluid.
• 9:20
  Get a sense that they are moving like they don't care what anyone
• 9:28
  else thinks. And maybe you.
• 9:32
  Recognize this person and what they stand for, what you know
• 9:38
  about them. Imagine them wearing a bikini,
• 9:47
  their body glowing with self-confidence, radiating joy.
• 9:53
  And notice what you notice perhaps their ease, their
• 10:00
  playfulness, how comfortable they look in their own skin.
• 10:07
  They are completely immune to any judgement, as if the world
• 10:13
  is celebrating their presence, not scrutinising it.
• 10:20
  I want you to imagine stepping closer to them, observing their
• 10:25
  facial expressions, their posture, the looseness of their
• 10:30
  body and feel that you are absorbing their energy.
• 10:38
  Notice how they move, how they smile, how they glow with an
• 10:44
  undeniable self assurance. And as you watch them, something
• 10:56
  within you stirs a recognition, a deep knowing that this
• 11:03
  confidence, this freedom, this self acceptance exists within.
• 11:09
  You also notice there's people watching them but the dancer
• 11:23
  doesn't care. And then imagine what it would
• 11:30
  feel like to step forward into their body, to feel what it
• 11:36
  would feel like to be them. To have that level of
• 11:41
  confidence, self acceptance, joy and freedom.
• 11:47
  Feel yourself smiling. Look at the faces of people
• 11:52
  around you and seeing that some people are ambivalent, some
• 11:58
  people are judge mental, but it doesn't affect how you feel.
• 12:05
  Other people's judgements do not change your value to feel what
• 12:13
  it feels like to be them. Imagine yourself wearing that
• 12:18
  bikini, dancing the way they dance, and feel the music
• 12:23
  guiding your movements, your body responding with grace and
• 12:29
  joy. Notice where you feel that
• 12:34
  freedom of the moment, the sheer pleasure of expressing yourself
• 12:40
  through dance. And maybe you notice how light
• 12:45
  and free you feel, as if every movement is effortless and
• 12:51
  natural. You are mindful, fully present,
• 12:55
  fully alive, completely uninhibited.
• 13:03
  Imagine being one of those people watching, but notice
• 13:09
  something has changed. You're no longer watching them.
• 13:16
  You're watching yourself like you're a stranger as you now see
• 13:23
  yourself dancing, see yourself wearing that bikini, moving in
• 13:31
  your unique way, smiling, exuding confidence and self
• 13:37
  acceptance. And maybe you see yourself
• 13:42
  dancing in the sunshine. Or maybe it's a cloudy day and
• 13:46
  you're dancing in the coolness of the rain.
• 13:50
  It doesn't matter how many people are there or what the
• 13:53
  weather is, the only thing that matters is that you are
• 13:58
  radiating self acceptance. You're radiating confidence and
• 14:04
  pure joy. No Fear, no shame, no
• 14:10
  hesitation, just freedom. And notice that your judgement
• 14:15
  of yourself here is admiration, inspiration, and anyone else
• 14:25
  making any other judgements is more about them than it does
• 14:29
  about you. I want you to get a sense that
• 14:34
  you can't change the judgements of other people, only your
• 14:39
  response to them. And I want you to imagine
• 14:44
  someone nearby shouting something critical, rude or
• 14:49
  harsh, and then see that version of you smile at them, unfazed,
• 14:58
  unbothered, and notice how it completely crumbles the
• 15:05
  perception of that person making that judgement.
• 15:11
  When people try and trigger someone else when they realise
• 15:15
  they can't, quite often their negative intention comes back to
• 15:21
  them, but amplified. So see that version of you
• 15:28
  immune to judgement? Then step into that version of
• 15:36
  you. You are now wearing the bikini.
• 15:41
  You are the one dancing. Feel the sand beneath your feet,
• 15:47
  the music, the lyrics. Your body is strong, beautiful,
• 15:50
  and worthy of celebration. You're not dancing for anyone
• 15:54
  else, you're dancing for you. So feel yourself moving with
• 15:59
  confidence, with joy, with absolute certainty that you
• 16:04
  belong here. And if anyone watches, you
• 16:11
  simply don't care. You are not dancing for them,
• 16:16
  you are dancing for you. Wearing a bikini is an
• 16:23
  expression of your body confidence and dancing is an
• 16:27
  expression of your joy. This is for you and no one else.
• 16:35
  Because in this moment you feel that you are manifesting the
• 16:42
  confidence and self-expression without fear.
• 16:47
  No judgement here matters. You are untouchable, immune and
• 16:55
  free. And maybe you imagine dancing
• 17:00
  for a few moments, minutes or even hours, but as you continue
• 17:05
  to move, the feeling settles deep within you.
• 17:09
  It becomes a part of you, something you can access
• 17:13
  anytime, anywhere and whenever you need to feel this
• 17:18
  confidence, just take a breath. Remember this speech, this
• 17:24
  moment, this feeling of absolute liberation.
• 17:32
  I want you to get a sense then a change has already occurred by
• 17:38
  thinking this way and if you ever decide to turn a thought
• 17:45
  into reality, you will amplify feelings of self acceptance and
• 17:51
  body confidence by 10. And each time you dance for you,
• 17:57
  the joy will increase and whenever you choose to wear a
• 18:01
  bikini, it will be an expression of self acceptance and
• 18:06
  confidence. No need to prove anyone else
• 18:10
  wrong. You are doing this for you.
• 18:18
  So whether in the future you're on a beach, by a pool, at a
• 18:23
  party or taking a dance class, this feeling remains.
• 18:29
  You are free, you are confident, and you are immune to judgement
• 18:36
  because other people's judgements of their expression
• 18:41
  of them, just as your judgements are an expression of you.
• 18:50
  Imagine finishing that dance confidently walking back.
• 18:57
  Imagine it's time to leave the beach and imagine that you are
• 19:01
  now on a journey home, maybe a long drive, but feel that the
• 19:06
  version of you that returns is a different version of you, an
• 19:12
  evolved identity, an expression of you with the highest levels
• 19:18
  of self esteem, confidence and self acceptance.
• 19:23
  This is your transformation and you enjoy this shift, but it's
• 19:31
  time to return to the present, back to the here and now, taking
• 19:34
  all these wonderful thoughts, ideas and changes with you.
• 19:39
  So take a deep breath in through the nose and out through your
• 19:45
  nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
• 19:48
  wiggle your toes. Start to connect with the here
• 19:50
  and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 19:56
  Starting to count 123 waking up 456 more alert. 7-8 Open your
• 20:05
  eyes, Open your eyes 910 Wide awake, Wide awake, wide awake.
