• 0:07
  issues. Brought to you by the
• 0:10
  hypnotherapist, demanded by celebrities, CEOs and even
• 0:14
  royalty. Adam Cox.
• 0:16
  These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's
• 0:19
  world famous Harley Street. This podcast features powerful
• 0:23
  hypnosis, so do not listen while driving or operating machinery.
• 0:27
  This recording is not suitable for those with epilepsy or
• 0:30
  severe mental health issues, so get yourself comfortable and
• 0:34
  enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
• 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 weight loss
• 0:46
  hypnosis session. That was created for a.
• 0:49
  Client that had constantly battled and struggled with their
• 0:54
  weight and they felt. That a lot of their weight
• 0:58
  issues. Came from their childhood.
• 1:02
  A lot of it was based on certain expectations or connotations
• 1:08
  linked to being a child or throughout their teenage years,
• 1:12
  feelings of expectation or pressure or even unwanted male
• 1:19
  attention as a result of being slim.
• 1:22
  So all of these things can have their impacts and kind of play
• 1:27
  out across someone's life because the brain is pretty good
• 1:30
  at trying to protect against undesirable emotions or
• 1:35
  outcomes. And sometimes the brain will
• 1:38
  figure out that, you know, food can help people feel more
• 1:42
  comfortable or potentially. Reduce their risk.
• 1:46
  None of which has to be true. It just has to be perceived to
• 1:49
  be true and then that can change thoughts, emotions and behavior.
• 1:54
  So in this particular session, it is all based around weight.
• 1:57
  Loss, but it's. Mainly about letting go of
• 2:01
  emotional baggage of the past and this actually uses rather
• 2:05
  than suitcases or bags that I've used in previous sessions, the
• 2:10
  idea of. Empty large buckets.
• 2:13
  And it's almost like a liquid representation of these
• 2:16
  emotions, and it also taps into a place that they had good
• 2:21
  connotations with. Which is.
• 2:23
  The beach and near the oceans you can hear some references to
• 2:26
  that. So if you.
• 2:28
  Feel that you're carrying a lot of emotional weight, baggage
• 2:32
  from the past that's still affecting your present, your
• 2:35
  present, or maybe leading you to seek out food or other
• 2:40
  substances. Could be alcohol, could be
• 2:43
  recreational drugs as a coping strategy, then you might benefit
• 2:47
  from this session. So just again steer it in the
• 2:49
  direction that things that are not relevant for you ignore and
• 2:53
  things that are really hone in. And of course.
• 2:56
  If you do like the idea of a bespoke session then you can
• 3:00
  schedule that free consultation call by looking in the show
• 3:02
  notes or going to my website whichisadamcox.co.uk.
• 3:07
  For now, though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
• 3:11
  won't be disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 3:52
  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, imagine
• 4:00
  breathing in a wonderful feeling of calm and relaxation.
• 4:08
  Breathing in that relaxation and exhaling that tension as you
• 4:16
  allow yourself to experience a sense of calm, a sense of ever
• 4:26
  increasing peace. Allowing yourself to let go of
• 4:33
  any frustrations, worries, more stresses as you breathe in and
• 4:47
  breathe out. I want to use the power of your
• 4:52
  imagination to imagine an antique globe, a sphere of the
• 5:05
  earth, perhaps one of those brass axles that enable it to
• 5:13
  spin. And you can just spin the globe
• 5:16
  around and see how much of the earth is just ocean.
• 5:24
  You can see the mass of the Arctic and the Antarctic, the
• 5:32
  continents, but I want you to focus your attention on the
• 5:42
  tropical islands, maybe in the Atlantic, in the Caribbean, or
• 5:54
  in the Pacific, perhaps all of those tiny islands in
• 6:07
  Micronesia. And as you spin the globe
• 6:12
  around, allow your unconscious to reveal a tropical island for
• 6:22
  you. And this island can be real, or
• 6:28
  it could just be an island created in your imagination.
• 6:36
  Just imagine holding your focus there on that island.
• 6:45
  And as you stare into the island on that globe, imagine what it
• 6:51
  would feel like. The globe becomes a planet and
• 6:59
  you become you in the sky, floating down from above to that
• 7:07
  island. And maybe you can see the whole
• 7:12
  island or just the coastline, but just imagine gliding, flying
• 7:22
  or floating above the island until you find a pitcher esque
• 7:30
  Cove on that island. The kind of Cove that means that
• 7:37
  the water inside the Cove is already protected from big
• 7:41
  waves. Maybe you can imagine white
• 7:47
  sands and protective rocks almost forming a reef, a barrier
• 7:55
  to have that calm, settled sea within the Cove.
• 8:01
  Allow yourself to float down until you're on that beach, A
• 8:09
  beach of white sands and crystal clear waters.
• 8:15
  And maybe the shape of the Cove is very similar to a Crescent
• 8:22
  moon. I want you to get a sense then
• 8:28
  you are the only one on this beach.
• 8:34
  I want you to get a sense that there is so much here to help
• 8:37
  you to fully relax now, from the sound of the breaking waves on
• 8:45
  the shore to the feeling of the sun on your skin.
• 8:55
  I don't want you to get a sense that you are feeling more and
• 9:06
  more relaxed. You even get a sense that the
• 9:11
  combination of the water with the salts and the minerals of
• 9:15
  just doing something with the ions that really help ground you
• 9:25
  to make you feel calm, relaxed and at peace.
• 9:31
  And I want you to imagine somewhere on this beach is the
• 9:35
  perfect place to relax. Maybe there is a comfortable sun
• 9:42
  lounger, or a large blanket, or even a hammock in the shade.
• 9:50
  But when you find the right place to relax, just imagine
• 9:54
  settling into that place, breathing in deeper, exhaling
• 10:01
  for longer. Get a sense of just how good it
• 10:05
  feels to drift into that place where change happens and scan
• 10:14
  your body for any clues of tension or stress.
• 10:19
  Sometimes it's in the forehead or the jaw or the neck or the
• 10:24
  shoulders, and allow yourself to release it.
• 10:31
  There is no need for stress and worries and concerns here on
• 10:37
  this speech, so allow it to feel like it's melting away, like a
• 10:44
  child's ice cream in the sunshine.
• 10:46
  Just feel that tension melt as I countdown, which from 12:50 you
• 10:54
  will imagine your whole body relaxing even deeper.
• 11:02
  So whether it's a lounger or a blanket or a Hammer, 10 just
• 11:08
  allow all of the tension in your face to feel like it's melting
• 11:12
  away now. 9 eyelids getting heavier and heavier, that's it.
• 11:22
  No desire to open them as they feel so relaxed. 8, your jaw
• 11:28
  just releasing any tension and noticing how much effortless it
• 11:35
  feels to just breathe in and breathe out.
• 11:39
  That's it. 7 becomes 6 and just focus now on your neck and your
• 11:44
  shoulders as you imagine all tension, almost like crystals of
• 11:52
  ice locked into your muscle tissue, is just melting away
• 11:55
  under the sunshine, under the heat of that tropical sun.
• 12:01
  And then five, just imagine your arms feeling limp, loose, heavy.
• 12:08
  A wonderful feeling that it almost feels like your arms are
• 12:13
  like a limbs of a puppet without any strings, just limp and loose
• 12:17
  and relaxed. And then four, as you breathe
• 12:22
  in, just imagine all of your internal organs, your lungs,
• 12:26
  your heart, your stomach start to relax now and then three,
• 12:31
  into your gut. So any anxieties, any worries,
• 12:37
  they're sometimes there in the gut.
• 12:39
  Just allow them to untangle, unwind, be released and let go.
• 12:45
  Now. That's it.
• 12:49
  And then to feel that relaxation spreading into your legs as your
• 12:55
  legs feel limp, loose and relaxed all the way down to your
• 12:59
  toes as two becomes one, and then rippling up to the top of
• 13:02
  your head and down to the tips of your fingers.
• 13:06
  Feel a wonderful sense that you're relaxed now, and your
• 13:12
  mind can go to a place where things from your past don't need
• 13:22
  to affect your present or your future.
• 13:26
  And just imagine drifting off to a dreamlike sleep.
• 13:30
  And to begin with, you dream of yourself perhaps one year from
• 13:34
  now, and see that version of you filled with energy, vitality.
• 13:42
  I want you to get a sense that the idea of you in the future is
• 13:49
  living life on your terms, uncompromising.
• 13:56
  You've made a change for your reasons and nobody else's.
• 14:01
  And consider that just another seed planted in your mind.
• 14:07
  But then I want you to imagine that you are now dreaming, that
• 14:10
  you are on the beach, seeing yourself fast asleep.
• 14:17
  In fact, you can check by lifting up a wrist and feeling
• 14:23
  your whole arm limp, loose and heavy.
• 14:27
  And then let it go and just get a sense that your conscious mind
• 14:31
  is now fast asleep. But your unconscious mind is
• 14:36
  alert and focused, and I want you to imagine walking somewhere
• 14:44
  on this beach where you see two very large buckets that are
• 14:49
  empty. Not normal size buckets,
• 14:54
  industrial size buckets. The kind of buckets that or
• 15:04
  maybe two or three or four times larger than an average bucket
• 15:08
  that would carry water to a garden.
• 15:11
  And there's two of them, and notice the colour and notice the
• 15:16
  handle, and imagine picking them up, one in each hand, and
• 15:22
  feeling that they have some weight even with nothing in
• 15:28
  them. There you are on this
• 15:34
  picturesque beach, holding 2 empty large buckets.
• 15:43
  You can hear the waves breaking on the shore and you're feeling
• 15:47
  relaxed. But this is about letting go of
• 15:54
  anything that has been holding you back, anything that no
• 15:59
  longer serves you, as you start to think that so many things at
• 16:06
  one point in your life were useful.
• 16:13
  Some people can remember owning a typewriter, a file of fax, an
• 16:19
  old mobile phone. There were physical, physical
• 16:24
  things you used to own that you don't own anymore because
• 16:28
  they're no longer useful. And I wonder if there's any
• 16:32
  emotions, strategies, or beliefs that were very useful wants that
• 16:39
  are no longer useful for you now.
• 16:45
  So let's run through some emotions that you may still be
• 16:51
  holding on to, that were useful wants but aren't helping you now
• 17:01
  as you find yourself standing there on the beach, I want you
• 17:03
  to scan your body for any sadness.
• 17:13
  Sometimes people feel sadness around the throat, around the
• 17:17
  heart. Many emotions have a location,
• 17:27
  and maybe that sadness was linked to something that was
• 17:33
  unfair, unjustified, unexpected. So scare your body for any
• 17:40
  feelings of sadness or sorrow, and the moment you find it,
• 17:48
  imagine that you've got the ability to release it from your
• 17:51
  physical body into those big buckets in each hand.
• 18:01
  It doesn't have to be a liquid, You could imagine it as physical
• 18:07
  things like sand or stones, or perhaps it is a liquid of a
• 18:12
  particular colour just draining from you into the buckets that
• 18:16
  represents any sadness. Your body feels lighter, but the
• 18:22
  buckets get heavier. And then scan your body for any
• 18:30
  anger. Quite often anger is justified.
• 18:42
  Things people did that they shouldn't have done, where rules
• 18:51
  or standards or boundaries were violated or broken.
• 18:58
  Anger sometimes has a different location, sometimes in the head,
• 19:02
  sometimes in the chest, sometimes in the gut, sometimes
• 19:09
  even in the hands. But I want you to scan your body
• 19:13
  for where any echoes of anger are for you.
• 19:23
  Could even be the jaw and just scan it and when you find it
• 19:27
  just imagine moving it from your physical body into those buckets
• 19:36
  and each time you do it you feel a wonderful feeling of release.
• 19:47
  Allow that anger to be released. You feel better for it, but the
• 19:52
  buckets feel heavier, heavier, and heavier.
• 20:00
  I want you to scan your body now for any shame.
• 20:08
  Shame can be a heavy emotion, and most people's shame isn't
• 20:14
  theirs to hold onto. It's the judgements of other
• 20:18
  people. Sometimes people will carry
• 20:23
  shame. That is the responsibility of
• 20:27
  someone else. I want you to get a sense that
• 20:34
  if there is any shame in your body, you've already extracted
• 20:38
  all of the wisdom from it. You don't need to carry the
• 20:42
  weight of that shame anymore. It's reduced.
• 20:46
  Stare into the ocean, scan your body for any clues of shame, and
• 20:51
  just allow it to be released. And feel those.
• 20:56
  Buckets getting heavier and heavier.
• 21:05
  It's now time to look for any regrets.
• 21:14
  The most common regrets are things you did you wished you
• 21:18
  didn't. But some of the heavier regrets
• 21:22
  are things you never did but wish you did.
• 21:29
  You're wiser now. You could always make new
• 21:33
  decisions in the future, but wouldn't it be good to let go of
• 21:37
  the heaviness of those regrets might be linked to a specific
• 21:42
  memory, a moment, or even just a missed opportunity to find the
• 21:51
  weight of those regrets as you move them from you into the
• 21:57
  buckets. The buckets getting very heavy
• 22:00
  now they feel uncomfortable in your hands.
• 22:05
  The weight of them might even be restricting your circulation.
• 22:11
  You've put sadness and anger and regrets, but now let's put I
• 22:28
  want you to put any frustrations, annoyances, those
• 22:38
  things you think you really shouldn't have to deal with, but
• 22:42
  you deal with them anyway. And these things may be recent
• 22:47
  or from years and years ago. Take them from you and feel the
• 22:54
  buckets getting heavier. And then look for guilt.
• 23:01
  Guilt is different to shame. Guilt is there to make you
• 23:07
  wiser, to raise your standards, not to punish you.
• 23:16
  So if there's anything that you still have echoes of guilt, keep
• 23:21
  the wisdom, but allow the guilt to flow into these buckets and
• 23:27
  the buckets feel heavier and heavier and then allow allow any
• 23:37
  feelings of anxiety. Any fears, and many fears are
• 23:50
  valid, but I'm talking about the fears that are overreactions,
• 23:59
  unuseful fears, either things you can't change anyway, things
• 24:05
  from your past, or fears that are just holding you back in
• 24:13
  some way. Quite often fears are found
• 24:17
  right there in the gut, or they're in the solar plexus, or
• 24:23
  niggling thoughts just behind one of your ears and just shift
• 24:27
  them from you into the buckets. Maybe the buckets are almost
• 24:35
  full now, but I want you to scan your body for any clues of fears
• 24:43
  and beliefs that are holding you back.
• 24:48
  Any feelings of a lack of worthiness, any feelings of
• 24:53
  coercion or obligation, Anything that you feel is still
• 25:00
  triggering you in some way. Just allow them to shift from
• 25:05
  you into the buckets and feel your body is feeling lighter and
• 25:11
  the buckets are feeling heavier. It's an exchange as you allow
• 25:18
  yourself to release any emotional baggage you've been
• 25:21
  holding on to shifting from you into the buckets and anything
• 25:30
  else you feel is holding you back.
• 25:32
  Put them in the buckets too, and when it feels like your buckets
• 25:37
  can't handle anymore, just let me know by nodding your head the
• 25:42
  weight of them. And then just imagine walking
• 25:45
  from the beach with those heavy, heavy buckets and wading out
• 25:52
  into the crystal clear waters of the ocean.
• 25:58
  And notice that the ocean itself is now supporting the weight of
• 26:05
  these buckets, and you wait out even further.
• 26:10
  The warm. Tropical waters feel good.
• 26:16
  You feel a sense of empowerment, courage and confidence when the
• 26:23
  time's right. Just imagine emptying these
• 26:28
  buckets there into the ocean, and I want you to imagine two
• 26:35
  things. Any liquid in the buckets is
• 26:39
  being diluted by the ocean into nothingness and anything
• 26:47
  physical, anything like an object.
• 26:51
  Just imagine brightly coloured tropical fish eating whatever
• 26:56
  was in the bucket, and imagine them swimming off, never to be
• 27:02
  seen again. And then return.
• 27:09
  Return to the shore with empty buckets.
• 27:15
  Place them somewhere on the beach, knowing that you can
• 27:17
  always fill them up again if you need, but you may never need to.
• 27:24
  I want you to get a sense that what you've let go of is not
• 27:28
  memories, is not wisdom, it's just the emotional weight that
• 27:35
  wasn't serving you anyway, but that has now created a vacuum
• 27:42
  for you to be intentional with what you replace it with.
• 27:50
  The human mind is like nature doesn't like a vacuum.
• 27:56
  If you think of a forest, a tree, it can only grow in the
• 28:01
  forest. If an old tree already falls
• 28:04
  down, that space in the canopy is filled very quickly.
• 28:11
  I want you to get a sense with all that emotions you've let go
• 28:15
  of. What if you could replace them
• 28:17
  with empowering, useful emotions?
• 28:23
  Change the fear with optimism, the anger with feelings of self
• 28:32
  love, acceptance. Give yourself permission to
• 28:40
  experience a whole new level of resilience, enthusiasm.
• 28:50
  I want you to get a sense that whatever you need most for the
• 28:53
  journey that you're on and the things that are happening in
• 28:58
  your life right now, feel that your body is absorbing these
• 29:04
  emotional states into your body. If it's energy you need, feel
• 29:13
  the energy coming. If it's creativity, tenacity,
• 29:22
  perspective, feel, whatever would be most helpful for you is
• 29:32
  being absorbed. You haven't lost emotions,
• 29:36
  you've just replaced them. Replace the emotions that were
• 29:40
  holding you back with emotions that will move you forward and
• 29:46
  think about you a year from now. Not just slimmer, lighter,
• 29:53
  healthier, but see yourself with those same emotions you're
• 29:58
  absorbing now. Higher levels of confidence, the
• 30:04
  ability to communicate boundaries clearly.
• 30:11
  I want you to get a sense that you are projecting a new level
• 30:15
  of almost an aura of invincibility.
• 30:21
  See that future version of you with more attention than you've
• 30:26
  had in perhaps a long time, and see yourself unfazed,
• 30:31
  untriggered by it. That might be passive aggressive
• 30:36
  attention, genuine compliments, or someone bothering you.
• 30:40
  But see yourself handling it in a way that clearly communicates
• 30:49
  self respect, self-confidence, clear boundaries.
• 30:56
  There is no slipping on a snake and going back to square one.
• 31:05
  There is no version of you that it's trying to avoid or hide.
• 31:13
  See that future version of you acknowledging attention, not
• 31:20
  needing the attention. But occasionally receiving a
• 31:27
  compliment and see you graciously accepting that
• 31:32
  because it has taken determination and consistency
• 31:42
  and you see a version of you worthy of all of that progress,
• 31:47
  all of that pride and see that the energy is shifting.
• 31:56
  You don't dislike the attention, you're just discerning with what
• 32:00
  kind of attention you're comfortable with.
• 32:05
  You will accept positive well meaning attention, but anything
• 32:11
  that has an agenda or perhaps is got some negative connotation.
• 32:22
  See yourself more distant or protective, but no need to go
• 32:31
  back to who you are. Your resources keep you safe
• 32:35
  now, when it feels that you've let go of the past and you can
• 32:42
  see a future where you lose weight, enjoy the process, and
• 32:48
  feel comfortable in your own skin in that version of you in
• 32:51
  the future, let me know by nodding your head.
• 32:56
  Now it's time to return to the present, back through that
• 33:01
  spinning globe back into your body.
• 33:05
  But taking all of these changes with you feeling lighter focus,
• 33:10
  determined and clear as to who you are.
• 33:15
  Starting to count. 123 waking up. 456 more alert. 7-8 open
• 33:22
  your eyes, open your eyes. 910. Wide awake, wide awake, wide
• 33:27
