• 0:44
  Hi Adam here and you're about to listen to a hypnosis session all
• 0:49
  about getting lean and strong and I was working with a client
• 0:54
  that was going to the gym about 3 or 4 times a week but quite
• 1:00
  often felt that it was something they.
• 1:02
  Had to. Do rather than actually they
• 1:04
  wanted to do. So what they originally came to
• 1:07
  me for was to almost have this discipline, this willpower to
• 1:13
  keep going to the gym almost like a a drill Sergeant in their
• 1:16
  own head. And what became evident very,
• 1:19
  very quickly is that for those. Areas of their.
• 1:23
  Life that they were most aligned with, which was their career,
• 1:27
  They didn't. Have this need.
• 1:28
  For a drill Sergeant, they simply wanted to do that thing
• 1:32
  because it took their life in a positive direction.
• 1:36
  And what I tend to be pretty good at is finding the
• 1:39
  strategies and resources within the individual, the client that
• 1:42
  I'm working with, and then mapping that across to a
• 1:46
  different context that it would be beneficial.
• 1:48
  So given that in their life they were at their most resourceful
• 1:53
  when it felt that they were aligned with that and it was
• 1:56
  taking them. Forwards in a.
• 1:58
  Direction that they wanted, that was the ultimate resource to map
• 2:02
  across in the area of working out.
• 2:05
  They also had a particular frame of reference that was an
• 2:09
  inspiration for them, and it was the actor Chris Pratt.
• 2:14
  Now, Chris Pratt originally was known for being in a comedy
• 2:18
  called Parks and Recreation, but his body shape in that comedy,
• 2:23
  in that sitcom. Was kind of.
• 2:25
  Like fairly chubby, not like fat, but kind of, you would say
• 2:30
  quite round as a, as a figure, approximately around about 30%
• 2:34
  body fat, you know, and there's a lot of people that are at that
• 2:37
  shape and they're very comfortable in their own body.
• 2:40
  But what happened with Chris is that he got offered a movie role
• 2:43
  for a movie called Guardians of the Galaxy, where he played the
• 2:47
  lead hero, Star Lord. And when he appeared in that
• 2:53
  movie, he shocked a lot of people.
• 2:55
  Who had been? Used to seeing him in a comedy
• 2:57
  with a fairly kind of flabby physique to then have quite an
• 3:01
  athletic physique. And this was a frame of
• 3:04
  reference for the client. And they also wanted that kind
• 3:07
  of athletic physique feeling that it would give them more
• 3:10
  confidence and more motivation and just more fortitude and
• 3:14
  resilience. So you're going to hear Chris
• 3:17
  Pratt as a frame of reference. And what it does is it gives an
• 3:21
  element of a strategy and also the fact.
• 3:24
  That what? Chris was able.
• 3:26
  To to do. Isn't beyond the reach of most
• 3:29
  people and that is a body fat percentage for men of around
• 3:33
  10%. The equivalent in women would be
• 3:35
  around 15 or 16% because men and female body fat ratios are are
• 3:39
  different. So a 10% body fat target for a
• 3:43
  man and we actually did some research and found what he was
• 3:47
  bench pressing and squatting and dead lifting.
• 3:50
  And these were within the realms of a healthy male to do.
• 3:53
  So one of my belief systems is that people won't play the game
• 3:57
  if the game isn't winnable. And realizing that this is
• 4:00
  actually a very winnable goal enabled this client to feel like
• 4:04
  they could have a a body like a Hollywood action hero, and it
• 4:09
  wasn't beyond reach. So believing it's.
• 4:11
  Possible and aspirational is a key part of change and then
• 4:15
  strategically making it something they could do.
• 4:18
  And you're going to hear all of this in a in a hypnosis session
• 4:22
  designed to get lean, which is the low body fat and strong,
• 4:25
  which is the ability to lift heavier weights.
• 4:28
  So if you like the idea of getting stronger and leaner,
• 4:32
  then you'll get some value out of this session, but equally it
• 4:35
  was created. For a specific.
• 4:37
  Individual. So if you like the idea of
• 4:41
  having let's say a bespoke hypnosis session created for
• 4:44
  you, there is 2 key things I would suggest. 1 is that there
• 4:47
  is a. Suitability test.
• 4:49
  For you to figure out if hypnosis is right for you and
• 4:52
  that takes about one to two minutes to do.
• 4:54
  And there's a link to that in the description.
• 4:56
  But also you can just book a free consultation call to
• 5:00
  explore working with me. Again, the link to that is in
• 5:03
  the description. So if that feels like something
• 5:06
  you're curious in or interested in, check that out.
• 5:09
  And for now, I would recommend to get the most out of this
• 5:12
  session, find a quiet, comfortable place, ideally in
• 5:16
  the kind of environment where you won't be disturbed.
• 5:18
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 5:55
  you breathe in, breathe in that resourceful feeling of calm and
• 5:59
  relaxation. And as you exhale, just allow
• 6:04
  your eyelids to close, and as they close, feel a sense of
• 6:10
  release as tension starts to leave your body in that outward
• 6:16
  breath. Breathing in that resourceful
• 6:20
  feeling of calm and relaxation and continuing to exhale tension
• 6:28
  in the outward breath. That's it.
• 6:31
  Deeper and deeper Relaxed. In fact, the deeper you breathe,
• 6:43
  activating that diaphragm, more of that relaw resourceful
• 6:49
  relaxation. You're breathing in and exhaling
• 6:53
  that tension, taking you deeper and deeper relaxed.
• 7:03
  Think of a color that represents resourcefulness, maybe a bright
• 7:08
  color, yellow, orange, vibrant blue.
• 7:15
  And as you breathe in, imagine breathing in that feeling of
• 7:20
  resourcefulness. And as you exhale, just imagine
• 7:31
  anything unresourceful starting to leave your body, like grey or
• 7:37
  dark shadows leaving your body in that outward breath.
• 7:43
  Consider this a transfusion, breathing in the resources you
• 7:49
  need and exhaling anything that represents a block or an
• 7:57
  impediment. Just feel that start to leave
• 8:01
  your body as you exhale and as your body relaxes, your
• 8:12
  imagination awakens. But I want you to imagine a
• 8:19
  pristine beach somewhere in Spain, completely private, white
• 8:26
  sands in a beautiful Cove. And I want you to imagine how it
• 8:34
  would feel to be walking barefoot on that white sandy
• 8:42
  beach, no one else around, just you.
• 8:49
  And sometimes when people feel connected to nature, their
• 8:54
  breathing slows, gets deeper. There is a feeling of being
• 9:00
  aligned with nature as you start to feel like tension around your
• 9:08
  neck and your shoulders is just melting away, eyelids feeling
• 9:15
  heavier and heavier and jaws starting to loosen.
• 9:22
  That's it. With every breath feeling deeper
• 9:28
  and deeper, relaxed. That's it.
• 9:31
  And I want you to imagine perhaps the most comfortable
• 9:40
  chair that's ever existed, the kind of chair that doesn't
• 9:46
  belong in a beach, but there it is.
• 9:51
  And I want you to imagine how good it would feel to rest
• 9:56
  yourself on that comfy chair, looking out at the ocean, and
• 10:03
  maybe it reclines and you can feel yourself sinking deeper and
• 10:10
  deeper there into the chair. That's it.
• 10:15
  As I count from 5:00 to 1:00, you will imagine how good it
• 10:19
  would feel to drift so deeply relaxed.
• 10:26
  It almost feels like you're drifting into a waking dream. 5,
• 10:34
  Just releasing all the tension around your face, your neck, and
• 10:37
  your shoulders. That's it.
• 10:40
  Releasing it all in your outward breath.
• 10:44
  And four, just feeling your arms all the way down to your
• 10:48
  fingers, feeling limp, loose and heavy, so completely relaxed,
• 10:59
  almost like the limbs of a puppet with no strings.
• 11:02
  Just limp, loose and relaxed. And then three, imagine your
• 11:10
  internal organs, your heart, your lungs, your stomach, all
• 11:15
  the way down into your gut, all relaxing as you breathe in and
• 11:23
  breathe out. Feel like it's doing the
• 11:25
  breathing for you, deep and effortless.
• 11:31
  And then to focus now on your legs.
• 11:36
  What makes you feel that your legs are made of Jelly?
• 11:41
  Nothing they need to do. Just limp and loose.
• 11:44
  So relaxed all the way down to your toes.
• 11:52
  And then feel one from the tip of your toes rippling up to the
• 11:56
  top of your head and back down to your fingertips.
• 12:01
  A wave of relaxation enabling you to drift into what feels
• 12:06
  like a dreamlike sleep. And in this dreamlike sleep, I
• 12:15
  want you to imagine you're in your own private cinema.
• 12:22
  Find the comfiest chair in that private cinema and imagine
• 12:30
  seeing. For some reason there is 2
• 12:32
  screens in this cinema and I want you to imagine on the
• 12:40
  screen on the left you're seeing a scene from Parks and
• 12:49
  Recreation. I want you to see Chris Pratt
• 12:57
  playing that character Andy, and see him with the physical shape
• 13:06
  that he used to have, maybe 25 to 30% body fat, No real
• 13:18
  physique, just an average guy in an office job and noticed that
• 13:28
  his physique wasn't linked to his confidence.
• 13:33
  He was confident without it. But I want you to just notice
• 13:40
  there was a version of him with a more rounded physique, didn't
• 13:46
  go to the gym. And then on the screen on the
• 13:50
  right, I want you to see him in an action movie, maybe in
• 13:58
  Guardians of the Galaxy. And almost like a before and
• 14:03
  after picture, I want you to see him with a more defined
• 14:09
  physique, lower body fat, more muscular.
• 14:16
  And I want you to see a different type of confidence.
• 14:22
  Somehow the confidence has evolved.
• 14:26
  You might link it to a sense of inner certainty, fortitude
• 14:34
  perhaps. Why was this transformation
• 14:38
  required? Perhaps there was a belief that
• 14:45
  in order to be a hero, a certain look was required.
• 14:53
  But I want you to look back on the screen on the left and get a
• 14:59
  sense that the resources to create this body shape existed.
• 15:07
  The capability was there, the resources were there.
• 15:12
  It just needed a catalyst. And perhaps the catalyst was an
• 15:22
  offer to star in a movie. And maybe that was the catalyst.
• 15:28
  And the resources were personal trainers, nutritionists, call it
• 15:35
  a plan, a strategy. The movie offer was the why, and
• 15:43
  those resources provided the how.
• 15:49
  And I want you to get a sense that ability was always there.
• 15:57
  And I want you to imagine stepping into the screen on the
• 16:01
  left, stepping into the body of Chris Pratt with all of the
• 16:07
  resources to transform his body, but not having committed to it
• 16:13
  yet. And I want you to imagine there
• 16:18
  is a moment, a decision, a decision to transform their body
• 16:29
  in a particular way. And maybe part of that was to
• 16:36
  imagine themselves in the future looking different, being
• 16:40
  different, and feeling that all it would take is to eat
• 16:51
  different foods and exercise in a different way.
• 16:59
  And I want you to feel those resources are opening up for you
• 17:03
  now and then shift perspective. And I want you to imagine
• 17:11
  yourself there in the cinema now, looking at 2 blank screens.
• 17:21
  I want you to see the screen on the left, you as a 15 year old
• 17:27
  making an important life decision as to which direction
• 17:33
  to take your career. On the screen on the left
• 17:39
  there's the version of you making a decision, and on the
• 17:43
  screen on the right I want you to see what currently represents
• 17:49
  the. Pinnacle of your.
• 17:50
  Success, maybe an accomplishment, maybe something
• 17:57
  that you did you never thought you would do.
• 18:03
  The kind of thing that if old teachers were to run into you
• 18:10
  again, you could say, look what I've achieved and that would be
• 18:13
  the thing that you would mention.
• 18:17
  And if you can see who you were and who you became, let me know
• 18:22
  about nodding your head. And I want you to make an
• 18:27
  evaluation that you didn't require coercion,
• 18:33
  accountability, pressure, because that version of you
• 18:40
  wanted to be and become something that mattered to you.
• 18:48
  And if that's true in your career, it can also be true in a
• 18:54
  different transformation. Your career transformation would
• 19:02
  have surprised those that doubted you.
• 19:06
  So now on the screen on the left, I want you to imagine
• 19:11
  seeing a version of you with that body shape that doesn't
• 19:18
  quite tap into what you're capable of.
• 19:23
  You know, with a different level of motivation and desire.
• 19:28
  Higher standards, more things are possible.
• 19:35
  So on the screen on the left, I want you to see that version of
• 19:40
  you that's tapping into a fraction of what is capable and
• 19:45
  possible. And on the screen on the right,
• 19:49
  I want you to imagine seeing you with a physique similar to an
• 19:56
  action hero. It's you.
• 20:00
  It's in your future. I want you to see yourself with
• 20:05
  a body fat percentage of around 10%.
• 20:10
  Muscles are defined. Abdominals are visible.
• 20:18
  But you're not so shredded you look like a bodybuilder.
• 20:22
  I want you to see with a manageable, healthy, lean
• 20:28
  physique, but not so lean it would cause a burden.
• 20:34
  And I want you to see yourself with visibly larger muscles,
• 20:40
  particularly around the legs, the chest and the shoulders,
• 20:45
  Arms with more definition and still keeping that 10% body fat
• 20:50
  percentage. This is your action hero
• 20:58
  physique, and I want you to feel that this is possible,
• 21:07
  manageable, doable, and if you're unconscious agrees that
• 21:14
  this is possible for you, let me know by nodding your head.
• 21:21
  And I want you to imagine now the two screens merge into one,
• 21:27
  and all good movies of a transformation have a montage
• 21:31
  sequence. I want you to see yours
• 21:36
  condensing months into minutes. Your unconscious will let you
• 21:42
  know what is required for this transformation to be possible.
• 21:49
  Maybe it's eating more protein. Maybe it's not going to the gym
• 21:54
  anymore but training different, higher weights.
• 22:00
  But maybe it's five sets of five, training your muscles to
• 22:06
  get stronger. I want you to get a sense.
• 22:10
  Then you only need to train four times a week of lifting weights,
• 22:17
  and the other times you can do cardio.
• 22:21
  I want you to get a sense that it is quality, not quantity.
• 22:28
  See that montage sequence? Maybe put some music That would
• 22:31
  be motivating for you. I want you to get a sense of
• 22:37
  observing you like you're someone else.
• 22:39
  What are you doing? What are you eating?
• 22:43
  How are you training? And maybe you see yourself doing
• 22:47
  certain exercises, the compound exercises, squats, deadlifts,
• 22:56
  bench press, the overhead press where you're lifting the barbell
• 23:01
  from your chest up ahead above your head, and just seeing the
• 23:05
  weights get larger and larger. See yourself doing the rows.
• 23:13
  And maybe you see yourself in a gym and maybe you see yourself
• 23:17
  lifting from your own rack. I want you to see, like any good
• 23:22
  montage, you can see the progress in the sequence.
• 23:28
  The plates have got bigger numbers, the weights are getting
• 23:32
  heavier. Your body is transforming
• 23:36
  throughout the montage. And I want you to notice how
• 23:42
  appealing this is a transformation.
• 23:49
  But I want you to make a promise to yourself.
• 23:53
  This transformation will be covert.
• 23:58
  The evidence of the transformation won't be what you
• 24:00
  say, it's what other people notice.
• 24:06
  So allow the montage to turn into you observing you being
• 24:12
  noticed by other people. Maybe it's words like why are
• 24:18
  you looking big? Have you been working out?
• 24:24
  Why are you looking strong? Or maybe it's just a look.
• 24:30
  I want you to observe. Observe that other people are
• 24:34
  noticing this transformation. All parts of the journey appeal
• 24:42
  because every time you work out, you are training your brain to
• 24:50
  become more mentally strong. Every time you exercise a
• 24:56
  muscle, you're mental fortitude is getting stronger.
• 25:03
  Every time you achieve a new personal best, your brain and
• 25:08
  your body is flooded with dopamine.
• 25:13
  I want you to get a sense that it feels good on the journey
• 25:18
  towards that destination. Feel that every time you work
• 25:25
  out, you are turning a part within you from that podgy Chris
• 25:33
  Pratt into the action hero Chris Pratt.
• 25:41
  That transformation starts within and then reflects
• 25:46
  externally. Your body becomes a reflection
• 25:53
  of your habits and decisions. And as you observe one final
• 26:00
  time this montage, I want you to see the absence of any drill
• 26:05
  Sergeant, the absence of any coercion.
• 26:11
  There is no reluctant grimace on your face as you're working out.
• 26:15
  You're smiling because you are becoming who you are meant to
• 26:20
  be. And the fact that it's not easy
• 26:25
  is what makes the accomplishment so valuable, because so few
• 26:30
  people could manage this transformation.
• 26:38
  The more difficult it is, the more rewarding the destination.
• 26:48
  And then see at the end of that montage, something that would
• 26:54
  represent the ideal goal. And maybe you can see yourself
• 27:04
  on a beach in Spain wearing the kind of clothes that would
• 27:10
  reveal that physical transformation, the physique.
• 27:17
  But now the private beach is now a public beach.
• 27:21
  And I want you to see the expressions of other people.
• 27:26
  They even noticed the transformation.
• 27:29
  And the way you walk on that beach exudes confidence.
• 27:37
  There is an element that tells you that version of you is
• 27:43
  brimming with confidence and sky high self esteem and if that
• 27:50
  feels like a desirable future, let me know by nodding your
• 27:53
  head. That's it.
• 27:57
  And then that version of you that you see on that beach, have
• 28:02
  them discover a comfy chair and imagine that future version of
• 28:08
  you is now on that same chair that you drifted off into a
• 28:14
  dreamlike sleep. A future version of you is now
• 28:18
  connected with the present version of you, allowing a seed
• 28:23
  of an idea to be planted that this future version of you is no
• 28:30
  longer an aspirational wishful thinking goal.
• 28:36
  It is simply who you will become.
• 28:42
  And every time you work out, and every time you get a new
• 28:46
  personal best, every time the weights get heavier, you are
• 28:51
  becoming that version of you. And I want you to imagine what
• 28:58
  the next few days and weeks would look like.
• 29:03
  The subtle changes to sets and reps, the changes to your facial
• 29:10
  expression when you work out your body language.
• 29:14
  What it takes for you to get into that gym.
• 29:18
  Notice the subtle changes and allow yourself allow your mind,
• 29:27
  your emotions to awaken all of the resources required so that
• 29:34
  subtle changes create a chain reaction so that things get
• 29:39
  easier and easier as the weights get heavier and heavier.
• 29:44
  You are becoming the action hero that was always within.
• 29:54
  To place yourself back on that comfy chair on the beach,
• 29:58
  realizing that all of this was just a journey within your
• 30:01
  imagination. A journey of thoughts within
• 30:05
  thoughts, ideas within ideas, and dreams within dreams.
• 30:09
  But it's time to return to the present, taking all of these new
• 30:15
  resources, new ways of thinking back with you, but in particular
• 30:21
  the resource of desire and enthusiasm.
• 30:27
  You don't have to do this. You're choosing to do it.
• 30:31
  And by choosing to do it, that's what gives you the confidence
• 30:34
  and the self esteem whenever you notice progress.
• 30:40
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 30:45
  nose. Just wiggle your fingers, wiggle
• 30:49
  your toes. That's it.
• 30:50
  Connect and calibrate into the here and the now as I now count
• 30:54
  from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 30:57
  You will awaken feeling resourceful, optimistic, already
• 31:02
  getting a sense of increasing confidence purely from the
• 31:06
  intention alone. Starting to count 123 Waking up
• 31:13
  456 More alert 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 31:16
  Open your eyes. 910 Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake.
• 31:37
  Thank you for listening to The Hypnotist with Adam Cox, the
