  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 Evans Clinic 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, Adam here. Now, if you've ever felt that
• 0:42
  you're holding onto emotions from your past, maybe things
• 0:46
  like blame or shame or anger, frustration or guilt, this could
• 0:51
  be the session for you. I was working with a client that
• 0:54
  felt that their suppressed emotions or emotions they were
• 0:57
  holding onto may actually be causing some kind of a health
• 1:01
  issue. So they wanted a way of
• 1:03
  releasing that in a way that they didn't have to think about
• 1:06
  or process sometimes painful memories.
• 1:09
  So this hypnosis session uses a metaphor of a kayak because they
• 1:14
  like to kayak and they're out on the kayak on a, on a, in
• 1:17
  Scotland, they call it a lock. In England we would call it a
• 1:19
  lake, and there is a metaphor for them to identify suppressed
• 1:23
  emotions and then imagine them as a Pebble or a rock or a
• 1:27
  crystal in their hand and then throwing that into the lake and
• 1:32
  seeing it sink. And I think this would be useful
• 1:35
  for anyone that just wants to clear the slate to really
• 1:39
  release any suppressed emotions. So if you feel that that might
• 1:42
  be possible, have a listen to this session and you might get
• 1:46
  some value from it. If you like the idea of working
• 1:48
  with me directly, there will be a link in the description of the
• 1:52
  show notes where you can schedule a free consultation
• 1:54
  call. And there's also a suitability
• 1:57
  test there as well. For now, though, find a quiet,
• 2:00
  comfortable place where you're not going to be disturbed.
• 2:03
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 2:34
  you breathe in, breathe in that feeling of calm and relaxation.
• 2:41
  And as you exhale, just allow your eyelids to close and
• 2:46
  position your body in such a way that you increase your ability
• 2:52
  to really let go, to feel calm and relaxed.
• 2:58
  And as you breathe in, just scan your body for any clues of
• 3:01
  tension, maybe around the jaw, the neck, or the shoulders, and
• 3:07
  set the intention to release so much so that in your outward
• 3:14
  breath, you could imagine that tension leaving your body breath
• 3:23
  by breath, getting deeper, longer and more relaxed.
• 3:34
  Each breath takes you deeper than the last as you allow
• 3:41
  everything to slow down, to slow down your mind and feel that
• 3:52
  wonderful feeling of letting go. And as you breathe in, I want
• 4:01
  you to imagine breathing in a bright white healing light.
• 4:09
  Imagine breathing in through your nose and imagine that
• 4:13
  healing white light going down your windpipe but healing
• 4:20
  everything around it, around the throat, esophagus, all the way
• 4:29
  down the stomach is close to the lungs.
• 4:34
  And just imagine that healing white light in your lungs and
• 4:40
  everything from the stomach upwards is also healing,
• 4:45
  settling, calming. And imagine that healing white
• 4:52
  light going down into the gut. So many worries and anxiety also
• 5:00
  melt away. And the deeper you breathe, more
• 5:05
  of that healing white light goes in.
• 5:10
  And as you exhale, just imagine anything corrosive, toxic, or
• 5:17
  harsh. It's just leaving your body in
• 5:21
  your outward breath, making you feel that sense of increasing
• 5:29
  levels of relaxation and health and exhaling any tension or
• 5:37
  toxicity. And the deeper you breathe, the
• 5:42
  more relaxed you become. And the more relaxed you become,
• 5:48
  the deeper you breathe. And as your body relaxes, your
• 5:55
  imagination awakens. And I want you to imagine your
• 6:02
  physical body remains, but your imagination can float.
• 6:07
  And just imagine floating out of your body above your own head,
• 6:13
  looking down, seeing you there, looking comfortable and relaxed.
• 6:20
  Just imagine floating through the ceiling, through the roof,
• 6:23
  into the sky as you decide to go on an adventure within your
• 6:32
  imagination. And I wonder if you could
• 6:36
  imagine a particular lock that you would like to visit.
• 6:45
  And I want you to imagine floating over hills and valleys,
• 6:52
  perhaps mountains, to get to that stretch of Stillwater on a
• 7:01
  peaceful day under sunshine. Just imagine touching down by
• 7:08
  the side of that water and seeing a kayak.
• 7:15
  And I want you to get a sense then you feel compelled to get
• 7:23
  into the kayak and take yourself right into the middle of that
• 7:30
  Stillwater and feel a sense of peace, of relaxation.
• 7:42
  And maybe you can imagine hearing the gentle movement of
• 7:46
  water against the kayak. Maybe you could imagine the
• 7:52
  feeling of warm sunshine on your skin, the freshness in the air.
• 8:02
  And I want you to get a sense that this is a healing ritual.
• 8:12
  There are many health conditions that are caused by diet and many
• 8:20
  that are caused by genetics, but one less detected cause can be
• 8:34
  the psychosomatic ripple effect of holding onto emotions.
• 8:43
  I want you to imagine if someone was stressed every single day,
• 8:50
  that might lead to health issues, either because of what
• 8:55
  the stress does biochemically or what they do as a coping
• 9:00
  strategy to manage that stress. So when people say that stress
• 9:08
  is a killer, it's not the stress, it's the implications of
• 9:15
  that stress. But here in this kayak, in the
• 9:21
  middle of this Stillwater, I want you to feel that right now
• 9:26
  is a good time to let go of any suppressed or hidden emotions.
• 9:39
  If you think of something like a grudge, isn't that holding on to
• 9:45
  anger or resentment sometimes months or even years after the
• 9:52
  original event? And you can consider that an
• 9:58
  unuseful and some would say a toxic emotion.
• 10:04
  And what if you don't need to hold on to any unresourceful
• 10:11
  emotions right now? But let's start with an easy
• 10:25
  one. I want you to scan your body for
• 10:29
  any feelings of stress. Sometimes stress is there in the
• 10:36
  neck and the shoulders, sometimes in the forehead, the
• 10:40
  temple of the jaw. Sometimes certain muscles are
• 10:45
  tensed without us even knowing. And I want you to think of what
• 10:53
  colour you would give to stress. And I want you to imagine
• 11:02
  locating any stress, either current or historical.
• 11:09
  And I want you to feel that it is all compressing.
• 11:18
  Consider stress tiny deposits of minerals, and you're finding all
• 11:23
  of them together and compressing them.
• 11:28
  And just imagine that it's all shifting into one of your hands.
• 11:34
  And I want you to see initially a speck of grit.
• 11:40
  Just imagine it there in one of your hands, there while you're
• 11:44
  in the kayak. But that grit turns into a
• 11:51
  larger cluster of grit, and then perhaps a small Pebble or a
• 11:59
  little stone. Now, how big this stone gets
• 12:05
  depends on how much stress you can find in your body.
• 12:12
  And just allow your unconscious to accept the suggestion that it
• 12:17
  moves into your hand, into the palm of your hand, like it's a
• 12:23
  physical object like a stone. And maybe that stone has a
• 12:28
  colour represented by whatever colour feels that stress would
• 12:34
  be. And then what?
• 12:37
  You can imagine that small stone, or even a big stone of
• 12:45
  historical stress accumulated over the years, and it's there
• 12:50
  as a physical object now in your hand.
• 12:52
  Let me know by nodding your head.
• 12:53
  And when you feel that you've held
• 13:09
  onto this stress for too long or long enough, I want you to
• 13:14
  imagine either dropping the stone or hurling the stone
• 13:17
  somewhere into that water. Hear the plop and just know that
• 13:24
  it's sinking down, all the way down.
• 13:29
  And you can retain the wisdom as to why that stress came about
• 13:33
  without needing to hold on to that stress.
• 13:38
  And when that stress has been released, we can consider that a
• 13:43
  practice emotion because the real emotion we're looking for
• 13:49
  is anger. An anger can be justified anger
• 13:57
  or unjustified anger because there has been times that you
• 14:02
  got really angry and only later found out that it was
• 14:09
  disproportionate to the cause. And sometimes people feel anger
• 14:15
  in their heart, they gut, sometimes they jaw or somewhere
• 14:20
  else. And I want you to scan your body
• 14:25
  for where that anger could be, trusting that your unconscious
• 14:29
  knows where to find it. And again, moving it into your
• 14:33
  hand to create an object, maybe a crystal, a stone, a Pebble, a
• 14:42
  rock. You decide what kind, but this
• 14:48
  might be a heavier object, more intense, and just allow your
• 14:58
  body to find that anger. But as it moves from those
• 15:01
  locations into your hand, your body is already starting to feel
• 15:07
  lighter. When you feel that you've
• 15:12
  distilled all of that historical anger to that object in your
• 15:17
  hand that you know by nodding your head, that's it.
• 15:22
  And this one we definitely want to throw far, far away.
• 15:29
  But as you throw it, you feel empowered.
• 15:36
  And you don't have to forgive anyone to release anger.
• 15:39
  You just have to decide that you don't want to hold on to that
• 15:42
  anger anymore, so feel that it's far away, sinking deep, deep
• 15:49
  down, right to the bottom, never to be found again.
• 15:54
  And then let's look for blame. Blame can come from judgement of
• 16:03
  others, but more often than not it's self blame where you were
• 16:11
  the judge, the jury, and the executioner.
• 16:16
  And sometimes blame can be like a poison within.
• 16:24
  Blame can sometimes feel like it has its own location for some
• 16:32
  people, might be the back of the throat or deep down in the
• 16:37
  torso. Sometimes people, when they let
• 16:43
  go of shame, say they've feel like a weight's been lifted off
• 16:47
  their shoulders. But I want you to scan your body
• 16:51
  for any blame, and one of the things that can help speed up
• 16:58
  that process is to forgive yourself.
• 17:08
  You've already learned from the past some of the things you're
• 17:12
  blaming yourself for had no malicious intention anyway, and
• 17:17
  even if it did, you're human. These things happen to all of
• 17:22
  us. But the blame is optional,
• 17:28
  because the purpose of blame is not to punish, but to shift
• 17:33
  future behaviour, to scan your body.
• 17:36
  Feel that blame perhaps going into the other hand now and
• 17:43
  maybe it creates a shiny stone or something heavy like a
• 17:51
  mineral like iron or lead. And when you feel that any blame
• 18:03
  or perhaps shame connected to that blame is there in your
• 18:08
  hand, let me know by nodding your head
• 18:26
  and just accumulate even more, just will it intend it.
• 18:36
  Because if the purpose of the blame was to punish yourself,
• 18:41
  you've already done that. You've paid the price many times
• 18:46
  over. Anything more would be like
• 18:50
  serving a prison sentence for a murder for a speeding ticket.
• 18:58
  And if you accept that some of this blame or shame or judgement
• 19:04
  is now disproportionate, no longer serves you, just holds
• 19:11
  you back. Feel it move into your hand, see
• 19:15
  the object, and then when you're ready, throw it far away from
• 19:21
  the kayak and see it sink all the way down deep down.
• 19:29
  And you can retain the memory. Just lose any emotion connected
• 19:34
  to any memory. Just feel it all go away.
• 19:42
  And let's look for any regrets. Regrets can be painful, and
• 19:51
  there's two things that people tend to regret.
• 19:55
  The things they did that they wish they didn't.
• 20:00
  But more often than not, it's the things they never did but
• 20:03
  wished they did. To scan your body for any
• 20:07
  regret, distill it into a physical object, big or small,
• 20:14
  whatever comes up is what it should be.
• 20:17
  And then allow it to sink deep, deep down.
• 20:24
  And then let's look for any remaining emotions that are
• 20:27
  holding you back. This might be sadness,
• 20:32
  frustrations, guilt. It may be a feeling of
• 20:43
  unworthiness. I want you to scan your body for
• 20:49
  any fears, worries and let's distill all of these emotions
• 20:56
  into a multi coloured stone, almost a fusion of different
• 21:03
  stones all in one, like an elaborate crystal.
• 21:07
  And when you have all of them, they're in that hand.
• 21:14
  You may notice your body feel lighter and then just decide to
• 21:19
  throw that cocktail of emotions deep, deep into the water.
• 21:31
  The mind is like nature. It doesn't like a vacuum.
• 21:37
  So let's replace it with something more useful.
• 21:41
  I want you to replace it with worthiness, confidence, a deep
• 21:47
  inner peace. Let's change blame to
• 21:51
  understanding, anger to compassion, wonderful feelings
• 21:58
  of self acceptance. And in doing so, I want you to
• 22:04
  feel that your body feels lighter, and any volatility
• 22:10
  inside your body is calming down.
• 22:18
  I want you to imagine a volcano on the verge of eruption,
• 22:24
  volatile, corrosive. But I want you to imagine that
• 22:31
  that's calming all the way down to a dormant volcano.
• 22:40
  The power still exists beneath the surface, but there is
• 22:44
  nothing that can erupt, corrode, or burn and still breathe in
• 22:56
  that healing white light, soothing whatever needs to be
• 23:01
  soothed and healing whatever needs to be healed.
• 23:11
  And that's you go back to the shore in that kayak.
• 23:17
  If anything else comes up, a thought, a belief, a feeling
• 23:24
  that is unresourceful, just imagine capturing it and
• 23:30
  throwing it overboard and just seeing it sink down as this is
• 23:39
  wiping the slate clean of those historical emotions.
• 23:47
  And just before you get to the surface, scan your body for any
• 23:50
  hate. It may not exist, but if it
• 23:54
  does, that can be a very potent emotion.
• 24:01
  Anything or anyone that you hate, just scan your body for
• 24:05
  the feeling connected to that and just decide to throw that
• 24:09
  overboard too. And then when you get to shore,
• 24:15
  just notice how much healthier and lighter you feel.
• 24:19
  And I want you to imagine that there will be a ripple effect in
• 24:28
  your mind that will affect your nervous system, which will
• 24:34
  affect hormones and neurotransmitters, which will
• 24:38
  affect unconscious physiological reactions.
• 24:43
  So don't be surprised, now that you've let go of these emotions,
• 24:49
  if your body feels like it's safe to just sleep, to relax.
• 24:57
  Nothing you need to do, and nothing you need to be just
• 25:03
  accepting. And what if that enables
• 25:09
  wonderful physical changes to happen to give you more choices,
• 25:15
  more options, and a better quality of life?
• 25:22
  Imagine you're now back on the shore and imagine you're
• 25:25
  floating all the way back up into the sky, but carrying all
• 25:30
  of these wonderful new emotions with you, remembering that those
• 25:35
  heavy, perhaps toxic emotions. And now at the bottom of that
• 25:42
  deep lock. So floating all the way back,
• 25:48
  seeing yourself and then climbing back into your own
• 25:52
  body, but taking these feelings with you.
• 25:57
  And very soon I will count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 26:04
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 26:09
  nose. Wiggle your fingers and wiggle
• 26:13
  your toes. Connect and calibrate into the
• 26:16
  here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken
• 26:24
  you. Starting to count 123 waking up
• 26:30
  456 more alert 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 26:35
  Open your eyes, 910. Wide awake, Wide awake, wide
• 26:42
  awake. Thank you so much for joining me
• 27:07

  And if you've enjoyed this show or got some benefit from it, you
• 27:15
  may know of one other friend or family member that may also
• 27:20
  benefit from this hypnosis session, in which case I'd like
• 27:23
  to ask a favor of you. And that is, if you could spend
• 27:27
  10 seconds to share this episode with someone that you know, that
• 27:31
  may also benefit, that would really help me to access new
• 27:36
  people that don't already know about this show.
• 27:40
  Thank you very much for listening and I will see you
• 27:42
  again on the next episode.
