- 0:16These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's
- 0:19world famous Harley Street. This podcast features powerful
- 0:23hypnosis, so do not listen while driving or operating machinery.
- 0:27This recording is not suitable for those with epilepsy or
- 0:30severe mental health issues, so get yourself comfortable and
- 0:34enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
- 0:40Hi, it's Adam here. And in this episode of The
- 0:43Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a hypnosis session.
- 0:47Created for a. Client was making big major life
- 0:50changes. But still had.
- 0:53Niggling doubts and certain fears that.
- 0:56Were still. Spoiling as almost like.
- 0:59Raining on their. Parade and they didn't really
- 1:02want that, but at the same time, through the initial part of the
- 1:07session, they became very. Aware that these.
- 1:10Things like doubts and fears have a function to protect them.
- 1:15Protect them from not evaluating where things can go wrong, not
- 1:20having due diligence, and not mitigating risks.
- 1:23So what you're going to hear in this session is an idea of
- 1:27almost reframing them in a way to make the fears and doubts
- 1:31beneficial rather than something that can paralyze and.
- 1:35Lead to avoidance. But also.
- 1:38An element of. Modelling a certain resource.
- 1:41State and you'll. Hear a particular part of this
- 1:44hypnosis session that encourages them to think about someone that
- 1:47takes big risks, major decisions, and doesn't do it
- 1:51from a position of fear. Doubts and worries.
- 1:54But does it in a really empowered way while still
- 1:57mitigating risk? And.
- 1:59Everyone knows someone. Like that?
- 2:00Whether you know them personally or you just know of them, maybe
- 2:03they're famous or maybe they're even fictional.
- 2:06The key point is to have evidence that there is a
- 2:09different way, that fears and doubts aren't the only way that
- 2:13you can mitigate risk. And therefore that becomes quite
- 2:17a useful thing and also has a bit of future pacing so they get
- 2:20to test. Drive that resource.
- 2:21State into the future of perhaps a major risk or decision that
- 2:26they are considering, but doing it from an empowered, confident,
- 2:30courageous place rather than a. Fearful or doubtful?
- 2:34Place. Because otherwise you can get.
- 2:36These self fulfilling prophecies, the way to get the.
- 2:40Best. Out of this, I think is to think
- 2:43of two things. One, a recent decision that you
- 2:46were fearful about making, but also a something in your future
- 2:51that you haven't decided yet, but you are weighing up.
- 2:54And therefore, if you think of those two things in mind, you'll
- 2:57get a lot more out of this session.
- 3:00And if you do like the idea of working with me, just to work on
- 3:03your goals and your changes, there will be a link to schedule
- 3:06a 30 minute Zoom call. We'll have a chat and just see
- 3:08if I'm the right hypnotherapist for you.
- 3:10For now though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
- 3:13won't be disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
- 4:34Yeah. Take a deep breath in and as you
- 5:28breathe in, feel like you're breathing in, a feeling of calm
- 5:38confidence. And as you exhale, give yourself
- 5:46permission to feel. Then any fears, doubts, or
- 5:52concerns are starting to leave your body in that outward
- 6:00breath, breathing in what is useful and exhaling that which
- 6:13is not. As you slow down your breathing
- 6:22and breathe in deeper, just allow yourself to relax and
- 6:31settle. Notice that as your physical
- 6:37body relaxes, your imagination awakens, and I wonder whether
- 6:53you could imagine a small forest nestled in 12 acres of land.
- 7:07A forest not big enough to get lost, but still big enough to
- 7:14connect with nature. I want you to imagine you are at
- 7:22the edge of that forest on a sunny day.
- 7:30Not hot, not cold, just warm. The air is fresh and clean and
- 7:40maybe you can detect a cocktail of smells that come from nature,
- 7:49the forest, the leaves, and this is a calming smell.
- 8:00Maybe you could imagine sounds of that small forest rustling
- 8:07leaves in a breeze, or perhaps even the sound of twigs or
- 8:14branches snapping under your feet as you imagine walking into
- 8:19the forest. Because the nature is inviting
- 8:27you to step forward to explore and feel an urge to go deeper
- 8:39into the forest. Allow the forest to represent
- 8:46anything that would prove to be useful.
- 8:52The forest could be your future. The forest could be the unknown,
- 9:00but notice how calm and confident you feel walking in
- 9:05this forest. With each step in this narrow
- 9:14forest path, your body relaxes even more.
- 9:22The soft earth cushions your steps, grounding you, supporting
- 9:27you, and you can perceive the sunlight filtering through the
- 9:34branches, creating a kaleidoscope of patterns of
- 9:41light and shadow. Just like the thoughts that come
- 9:46and go in your mind. Some of your thoughts are bright
- 9:51and clear and others are just shadows passing through, and
- 9:59both have their place. Not good and bad, but some are
- 10:09more useful than others in certain circumstances.
- 10:15And as you walk deeper into this peaceful woodland, you begin to
- 10:21notice how the trees stand strong and resilient, yet they
- 10:28also bend with the wind when needed.
- 10:38They don't resist or break. They simply adjust, adapting to
- 10:45the wind in the moment, secure in their roots, reaching toward
- 10:53the sky. And just like these trees, you
- 11:00too have deep inner resources, your experiences, your wisdom
- 11:08and your roots, giving you strength, flexibility and
- 11:15enhancing your wisdom even more. I want you to imagine a small
- 11:24clearing in this small forest, a space of perfect balance,
- 11:32neither to open or to confined. And in this clearing in the
- 11:39forest, notice how you feel safe, at ease and free.
- 11:51Imagine there's a place to sit, and maybe it's a smooth rock or
- 11:57a log or a patch of Moss. And as you settle, you feel a
- 12:05deep sense of connection with yourself, a deeper sense of
- 12:10relaxation flowing through you now.
- 12:18So take another deep breath, and with it, feel yourself sinking
- 12:25even more deeply into this state of comfort and awareness.
- 12:35Because this forest around you holds a quiet wisdom, a balance
- 12:42of stillness and movement, safety and adventure.
- 12:50And as you breathe in this peaceful atmosphere, I wonder if
- 12:55you can recognise that you too hold this balance within.
- 13:05Maybe you can think back to a time when you felt fear or doubt
- 13:10about making a decision. Maybe something big or something
- 13:16small. I'd imagine seeing yourself like
- 13:20you're someone else. You're just an observer, an
- 13:26observer without judgement. I want you to observe that
- 13:33version of you perhaps seeing that fear, those doubts, as
- 13:43being somewhat useful if it led to a higher level of preparation
- 13:48or due diligence. See yourself without fear or
- 13:56doubt was never a warning to stop, but as a signal to pause,
- 14:05to consider and to discern, much like a traveller checking their
- 14:11map before continuing their journey.
- 14:15Fear and doubt are not the enemy.
- 14:21What if they are simply messengers, inviting you to
- 14:26think, to assess, to make sure that you are prepared?
- 14:37They exist not to paralyse you, but to guide you and to prepare
- 14:45you. And perhaps in this moment you
- 14:50realise that just the right amount of fear and doubt is not
- 14:56just natural, it's healthy. What if that's the thing that
- 15:02keeps you alert and aware and thoughtful?
- 15:08Maybe it helps to ensure you weigh up your options carefully
- 15:14to move forward with wisdom and not recklessness, and you can
- 15:20acknowledge these feelings and then just like a traveller who
- 15:26has checked their map and now confident in their path ahead
- 15:32you. Move.
- 15:33Forward, not frozen in uncertainty, but clear and
- 15:41assured in your decision. I want you to welcome someone
- 15:50else, real or fictional, into this clearing with you.
- 15:59Someone that embodies confidence in making bold choices.
- 16:05Someone who is comfortable taking risks.
- 16:10A person who trusts their instincts, who moves forward
- 16:17even in the face of uncertainty. And maybe this person you're
- 16:25teleporting into this clearing in the forest is a historical
- 16:30figure, an adventurer, an entrepreneur, a warrior, even a
- 16:38character from a story. And maybe you can notice how
- 16:45they hold themselves, how they think, what they do, to trust
- 16:52their own judgement. And as you observe them in your
- 16:58mind, you begin to feel a sense of connection with their
- 17:02qualities, as if a part of you is resonating with their
- 17:08courage, their decisiveness, their ability to take action
- 17:15without excessive anxiety, Just enough to keep them alert, to
- 17:22keep them prepared, but not to hinder their decisions.
- 17:31You realise that these qualities are not foreign to you.
- 17:36They exist within you as well, and as you breathe deeply, feel
- 17:43that your breath is now synchronized with the breath of
- 17:47this person. Feel these qualities growing
- 17:53stronger and more natural, as if you were stepping into this
- 17:58version of yourself, a version of you that is courageous,
- 18:03discerning, ready for the adventures and decisions ahead.
- 18:15Allow that person to stay there in the forest, perhaps being a
- 18:22guide, someone you can talk through an idea, a decision, and
- 18:29tap into their resources to help you.
- 18:32And perhaps you can imagine yourself think of a very
- 18:40specific decision in your future, one that in the past
- 18:45might have made you feel hesitant, anxious or uncertain.
- 18:51But this time something is different as you feel calm,
- 18:57clear and steady and you can acknowledge any small fears or
- 19:04doubts, but you do not feed that fire.
- 19:11The fire will burn and then put itself out.
- 19:15These fears and doubts don't control you.
- 19:18Instead, you listen, consider, and then make a clear, confident
- 19:24choice knowing. That you have.
- 19:27Weighed the options wisely as you feel that more and more
- 19:36certainty is settling within you, becoming a very part of who
- 19:43you are, a fabric of your DNA. So with each breath this feeling
- 19:52of confidence deepens, solidifies until it becomes
- 19:58second nature. You are gravitating towards a
- 20:03future of you where you trust yourself.
- 20:07You trust your ability to navigate risks wisely, but never
- 20:12being consumed by fear because you choose not to feed the fear
- 20:16with more fuel. I want you to get a sense then.
- 20:25What if more of this courage and confidence and assurance is the
- 20:33prize for making these decisions and taking these risks?
- 20:40Then it stands to reason you will experience less anxiety and
- 20:47doubts proportionate to your confidence and certainty in
- 20:55moving forwards. The wiser you get, the better
- 21:01your decisions become, and sometimes you get more wisdom
- 21:09from a mistake than you do from a great decision, so even a set
- 21:16back can be a reason to celebrate.
- 21:23It's time to leave this clearing in the forest, so say goodbye to
- 21:28your inspiration of courage and confidence.
- 21:35Find yourself leaving the forest, back into nature, blue
- 21:41skies, and very soon I will count from 1:00 to 10:00 to
- 21:47awaken you. But right now, start to
- 21:50calibrate. Take a deep breath in through
- 21:52your nose and out through your nose.
- 21:57Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
- 22:00Start to connect with the here and the now as I now count from
- 22:051:00 to 10:00 to awaken you. Starting to count 123 waking up
- 22:14456 more alert 7-8. Open your eyes.
- 22:19Open your eyes 910. Wide awake.
- 22:23Wide awake. Wide awake.
