  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 CE OS and even royalty Adam Cox, these
• 0:21
  recordings took place live from Evans Clinic in London's world
• 0:24
  famous Harley Street. So get yourself comfortable and
• 0:31
  enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
• 0:38
  Hi, it's Adam here now. Let me ask you a question.
• 0:42
  Have you ever had a particular goal and you were almost fixated
• 0:50
  that there was only one way to achieve that goal?
• 0:55
  A lot of people get into this difficult situation where
• 0:59
  something becomes really, really important, but there is a
• 1:03
  limitation on to what has to happen for that goal to be
• 1:09
  successful. So for example, I've worked with
• 1:12
  people that want to lose weight and they think that the only way
• 1:16
  they can lose weight is by fasting or doing keto, for
• 1:21
  example. There's only one way that they
• 1:23
  can lose that weight. Or it might be, for example, as
• 1:28
  in the case of this client, that they wanted to impact the world
• 1:32
  through their message and they believed that the only way that
• 1:37
  they could do that was through a book that they had written and
• 1:40
  self published on Amazon. Now the problem with that is
• 1:44
  that if you get too attached to the vehicle rather than the
• 1:49
  mission, then you deprive yourself of all the other ways
• 1:55
  that you could actually contribute to that mission.
• 1:58
  For example, on Amazon there's about 8000 books published every
• 2:04
  single day from self published authors.
• 2:07
  So unless you have a big marketing budget or a
• 2:09
  pre-existing big audience, it's actually quite difficult to find
• 2:15
  an audience for a book because it's worse than a needle in a
• 2:19
  haystack, because that haystack gets bigger and bigger every
• 2:24
  single day, so how are people going to find you?
• 2:27
  Whereas that same message could be utilized in different ways.
• 2:32
  For example, take the same message and deliver it in an
• 2:37
  audio book and you could increase your reach or make
• 2:40
  short form videos that people could find on TikTok or
• 2:43
  Instagram. The same message suddenly has
• 2:46
  the ability to get a much bigger audience.
• 2:50
  That's the essence of this hypnosis session, to be
• 2:54
  passionate and obsessed almost about the mission, but agnostic
• 3:00
  about the vehicle. And I say agnostic knowing that
• 3:03
  it is a very religious type of metaphor.
• 3:08
  But if you think of people that are evangelical about a
• 3:13
  particular religion, they don't consider the merits of any other
• 3:18
  religion. I'm saying that as an atheist,
• 3:20
  by the way. But if you are agnostic, you
• 3:22
  might look at all the religions and say, well, like they all
• 3:25
  have value in some different way.
• 3:28
  You know, what does it make sense to kind of utilize or
• 3:31
  choose to believe parts of or even find one in particular?
• 3:35
  So being agnostic about the vehicle is a superpower.
• 3:39
  The way I look at belief systems is less about whether they are
• 3:44
  true or not. I think that's really important.
• 3:46
  If you're in politics or you're in science, these beliefs are
• 3:52
  totally important. Can you back them up with
• 3:53
  evidence? But from a personal perspective,
• 3:57
  it's actually about what is more empowering.
• 4:01
  If you believe that you are capable of anything, even if
• 4:04
  that isn't true, if that gets you inspired and excited to
• 4:07
  learn new things, it has become a useful belief system, even if
• 4:12
  the belief system isn't actually true.
• 4:15
  So really make a separation of that, because a lot of people
• 4:19
  have the worst forms of beliefs. They are not true, and they are
• 4:24
  also not useful. If someone believes that they're
• 4:28
  useless, for example, that's unlikely to be true because
• 4:32
  everyone has some utility. But it's certainly not useful
• 4:35
  because if you believe that you are useless, why even try
• 4:38
  anything? And that's the crux of a
• 4:41
  psychological phenomenon called learned helplessness.
• 4:45
  Why bother is the essence of that.
• 4:48
  If, however, you have an empowering belief, which is I'm
• 4:52
  lucky, OK. It's difficult to.
• 4:55
  Define luck and measure luck. But if you believe that you're
• 4:59
  lucky, you might do things that have a small probability of
• 5:03
  success, but you do them with such enthusiasm and passion that
• 5:08
  you increase the probability of that unlikely thing being
• 5:12
  likely. And that's why even something
• 5:16
  like luck can be an empowering belief.
• 5:18
  Whether it's true or not isn't the main thing when it comes to
• 5:22
  individual resource states. So this is all about you
• 5:28
  thinking of something really, really important to you and then
• 5:33
  being agnostic about the way that you achieve that.
• 5:37
  And I'll give you an example. When I was early in my career,
• 5:41
  if I'm before my career started, I was doing a psychology degree
• 5:45
  and I wanted to be a sports psychologist.
• 5:48
  And luckily the mission was have an impact on other people's life
• 5:55
  using psychology. But the vehicle at that point
• 5:59
  was sports psychology. But lucky for me, you know, I
• 6:02
  investigated and I looked at how many athletes and sports
• 6:06
  professionals there were earning 6 figures or more because I
• 6:10
  figured that if you're not earning 6 figures or more, it's
• 6:13
  unlikely you would be able to pay for a sports psychologist.
• 6:18
  And that number wasn't very big. And then I looked at the number
• 6:21
  of people graduating with master's degrees in sports
• 6:24
  psychology. And here's the irony.
• 6:26
  There was more people qualified in sports psychology each year
• 6:31
  than there was a market for people that would even consider
• 6:35
  using a sports psychologist. That's very useful information
• 6:39
  to know. So I thought, right, I really
• 6:42
  want to use psychology and the way the mind works to help
• 6:46
  people. But if I attach myself to the
• 6:49
  vehicle of sports psychology, actually, that could be deeply
• 6:53
  frustrating. And there'll be people listening
• 6:55
  to this right now that you're a doctor or you're a lawyer or
• 6:59
  you're working in finance because the vehicle has become
• 7:05
  the career of your choosing that was meant to give you status or
• 7:10
  financial independence. But it's quite possible there
• 7:13
  was lots of other ways that you can get those things without
• 7:17
  that specific career, for example.
• 7:21
  So here's what I want you to do to get the most out of this
• 7:23
  session. I want you to think of something
• 7:26
  that is deeply, deeply important to you, that right now you're
• 7:31
  fixated on one particular way to achieve it.
• 7:35
  Because this will help you almost step outside of your
• 7:40
  limitations of thinking. Think outside the box.
• 7:43
  Quite often people would use that metaphor to consider this
• 7:47
  so that it might be an idea comes to you that you can
• 7:51
  actually make incredible progress in your mission, in
• 7:54
  your goal, but just by using a different vehicle to get there.
• 7:58
  And that might be very, very useful for you.
• 8:01
  So find a quiet, comfortable place where you won't be
• 8:04
  distracted or disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 8:18
  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in a
• 8:28
  feeling of pure resourcefulness. And as you exhale, feel a sense
• 8:40
  of release and relief, as if any limitations, any preconceived
• 8:48
  notions, any unconscious barriers start to erode,
• 8:56
  crumble, and leave your body in that outward breath.
• 9:05
  Breathing in a wonderful feeling of calm, confidence, conviction
• 9:11
  and belief, and releasing any blocks, especially the ones that
• 9:20
  consciously you're not even aware of.
• 9:25
  And the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you feel.
• 9:30
  And the more relaxed you feel the deeper you breathe.
• 9:37
  Each breath takes you deeper and deeper, relaxed as your body
• 9:48
  relaxes, your imagination awakens.
• 9:53
  And I want you to imagine. Imagine going back in time, A
• 10:01
  time before cars and railways. A time where horses with the
• 10:11
  primary form of transport, maybe you can imagine a city street
• 10:18
  with horses and carriages, or out on the frontier seeing
• 10:27
  Cowboys on horseback. And I want you to get a sense
• 10:32
  that there was a time when getting from one place to
• 10:40
  another meant walking or taking a horse, and the horse would get
• 10:48
  you there quicker. And as you imagine looking
• 10:56
  through the lens of history, you get a sense that sometimes it
• 11:02
  made sense to walk and sometimes it made sense to take a horse.
• 11:12
  And back then, the idea of travelling through the sky on a
• 11:19
  plane or on a freeway on a car was the staff of magic and
• 11:28
  science fiction. And I want you to get a feeling
• 11:34
  that new vehicles make the impossible possible.
• 11:45
  There was a time when the only way to get from Europe to North
• 11:51
  America was on a boat. You couldn't swim, planes didn't
• 11:59
  exist, and sometimes those boats were dangerous.
• 12:07
  But if that was the only vehicle, then that seems like
• 12:13
  the only choice. And I want you to get a feeling
• 12:18
  that when vehicles change, time gets distorted.
• 12:30
  The very first explorers and pioneers would take months to
• 12:37
  cross the Atlantic to discover the new world, relying on wind
• 12:45
  and currents. And the technology changed.
• 12:51
  The boats became bigger, they became able to use different
• 12:59
  energy sources. What wants took months to then
• 13:05
  take weeks and then with the invention of aviation, what used
• 13:14
  to take weeks to then take hours.
• 13:21
  And I want you to get a sense then.
• 13:25
  If the. Objective is the destination.
• 13:30
  Doesn't it make sense? To choose the.
• 13:32
  Vehicle that is most useful to get you to where you want to be.
• 13:44
  And I wonder if you can think about what success would look
• 13:49
  like over 10 years, the next 10 years.
• 13:56
  But imagine there are two versions of you.
• 14:03
  I want you to imagine there is a version of you that is only
• 14:10
  attached to 1 vehicle. The vehicle to get your message
• 14:19
  to the world, to impact lives, to make the world a better place
• 14:26
  is a book. And I want you to imagine that
• 14:32
  this is one book among thousands published every single day.
• 14:38
  And I want you to get a sense that most of the people that
• 14:46
  really need that book don't know the book exists.
• 14:54
  They may not even know why they need the book in the first
• 14:59
  place. And I want you to imagine
• 15:05
  following this version of you, this version of you that can
• 15:15
  only embark on your mission, delivering your message in your
• 15:21
  way through the book. What would success look like
• 15:27
  over 10 years? What would need to happen?
• 15:34
  And maybe it would need to be good fortune.
• 15:39
  The right person with big reach discovers the book and endorses
• 15:44
  it. And suddenly their audience
• 15:49
  becomes aware of you and your book.
• 15:53
  And maybe thousands upon thousands of people discover
• 16:00
  your message and are influenced or impacted in that wonderful
• 16:05
  way. But also what's possible is that
• 16:14
  what is successful for that vehicle could be limiting if
• 16:20
  it's the only vehicle. And I want you to consider that
• 16:29
  as one way of getting to your destination.
• 16:31
  But let's explore another version of you, a version of you
• 16:40
  that is vehicle agnostic. I want you to think of Phileas
• 16:52
  Fogg travelling around the world in 80 days.
• 17:00
  What was possible with any means of transport would have been
• 17:05
  impossible if they were limited to walking one foot in front of
• 17:12
  the other. And I want you to get a sense
• 17:17
  that that curious version of you, the open minded version,
• 17:26
  the experimental version, doesn't care about the vehicle.
• 17:35
  You care about the mission, the message and the impact.
• 17:43
  You don't mind if someone originally finds your message on
• 17:49
  a short video on their phone and maybe they see you 4 or five
• 17:56
  times, get curious enough to research you, and then find you
• 18:02
  have a book and then read the book.
• 18:06
  Or maybe they see a funny video that gets them thinking and then
• 18:14
  they discover an audio book and they listen to that after a day
• 18:21
  of stressful or new experiences and that shapes how they think
• 18:28
  and what they value. Now that vehicle agnostic
• 18:36
  version of you may very well impact millions over that 10
• 18:44
  year period because that version of you doesn't care how the
• 18:55
  audience gets the message, just that they do.
• 19:02
  Maybe in that timeline, videos on the Internet lead to a Ted X
• 19:10
  talk that leads to hundreds of thousands of people resonating
• 19:17
  with your message. What if that leads to a talk
• 19:22
  show or podcast appearance that leads you to an even bigger
• 19:27
  audience? What if young mums and you
• 19:32
  fathers discover you through something they are already
• 19:38
  attached to? Small videos on their phone that
• 19:45
  over time connect with you and your message.
• 19:50
  I want you to get a sense then you are obsessed with your
• 19:55
  mission, not the vehicle and allow your unconscious to
• 20:05
  connect with which version of you ends up having the biggest
• 20:11
  impact. Go forward 10 years from now.
• 20:17
  And speak to that version of you that only could use the book.
• 20:25
  And maybe they're happy with five 10/15/20 thousand people.
• 20:32
  Still an impact, still lives changed, influenced, still a
• 20:38
  mission where progress was made. And then speak to that version
• 20:46
  of you that was open minded, tested different ways of getting
• 20:53
  that message to different people.
• 20:58
  And I wonder if that version of you was able to impact more
• 21:04
  lives, influence in new innovative ways.
• 21:13
  You don't have to consciously decide your unconscious is doing
• 21:17
  this for you. I want you to get a sand.
• 21:23
  Then sometimes when you embrace new technologies, you're able to
• 21:35
  make new progress. And let's go back and explore
• 21:40
  history one last time. I want you to imagine seeing a
• 21:48
  doctor from the 17th or 18th century, and perhaps they had a
• 22:00
  mission and intention to heal, to cure, to help.
• 22:07
  And maybe they were using leeches, or perhaps certain
• 22:15
  chemicals, certain approaches, and any doctor that became
• 22:25
  attached to just one particular methodology rather than the
• 22:31
  mission of helping may have had less impact than those curious
• 22:39
  doctors that didn't care. About a particular.
• 22:43
  Approach They wanted to use whatever would help their
• 22:48
  patients the most and if you're unconscious, can connect with
• 22:56
  the idea of doing what has the biggest impact that helps the
• 23:03
  most, rather than being attached to what wasn't very influential
• 23:10
  in the past and blessed so today.
• 23:13
  Let me know by nodding your head.
• 23:19
  That's it. And I want you to imagine
• 23:25
  choosing to unlock any form of rigid thinking that got you
• 23:34
  attached to the vehicle rather than the mission, opening up new
• 23:40
  possibilities, new strategies, new things that could have
• 23:46
  infinitely more impact than only certain ways.
• 23:55
  And I want you to imagine visiting a future 10 years from
• 23:59
  now where you get to see the level of impact, not from what
• 24:03
  you did. I want you to see the ripple
• 24:06
  effect of millions of people hearing your message, being
• 24:14
  influenced by your ideas, concepts, ways of thinking.
• 24:19
  I want you to imagine not seeing yourself, but seeing the world
• 24:24
  changed by what you added to it. And maybe you utilized A Trojan
• 24:34
  horse, something that your audience were already attached
• 24:41
  to, and you just hid something magical and beneficial inside
• 24:47
  it. Covert, sneaky, but helpful and
• 24:55
  beneficial because there are entities out there using the
• 25:03
  same technology to extract value and your intention is to give
• 25:10
  value. There are people out there that
• 25:14
  are using this technology to create anger, resentment and
• 25:19
  rage. And you're using that technology
• 25:23
  to create compassion, understanding and education and
• 25:32
  as your unconscious attaches to the most useful vehicle, to get
• 25:39
  to that destination, knowing that it could change.
• 25:46
  A car is good for travelling on a motorway.
• 25:51
  A plane is good for travelling over an ocean.
• 25:58
  I want you to get a sense that what is good for one moment in
• 26:02
  time or one situation may not be useful for another.
• 26:07
  So allow yourself to test, not guess, and allow the results to
• 26:16
  show you the most impactful way for you to change the world.
• 26:25
  And then allow yourself to return to the present, taking
• 26:29
  all of that curiosity, enthusiasm, energy and open
• 26:35
  mindedness with you, with a deep resolve to be passionate and
• 26:44
  obsessed with the mission and agnostic with a way of achieving
• 26:51
  it. Whatever works best is the right
• 26:56
  vehicle, and sometimes multiple vehicles get you there quicker
• 27:02
  than just one. And as that thought takes root,
• 27:07
  take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 27:11
  nose. Wiggle your fingers and wiggle
• 27:15
  your toes. Connect and calibrate into the
• 27:18
  here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken
• 27:25
  you. Starting to count 123 waking up
• 27:31
  456 more alert. 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 27:35
  Open your eyes 910 Wide awake, Wide awake wide.
