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.
0:48
Hi, it's Adam here. And in this hypnosis session
0:52
that you're just about to. Listen to.
0:55
In essence, it's about heart health and I was working with a
0:59
client that had. A.
1:02
What felt to them like an irrational fear?
1:04
But when you think about it, it's not irrational at all.
1:06
And that is that young men, sometimes you hear stories in
1:10
the newspaper or on social media or on TV of someone being in
1:14
their 20s or 30s and dropping dead of a, a heart attack, You
1:19
know, some kind of a heart defect.
1:21
And this thought had got into their head and they were
1:24
concerned that maybe that could happen to them.
1:27
And they estimated that this could be, you know, A5, 1015%
1:31
probability that something like that could happen to them.
1:35
And because they believed that the risk was higher than it
1:38
probably was, they were using. What would be sensible?
1:43
Coping strategies if that belief was true.
1:46
So they were avoiding doing strenuous activity, they were
1:49
avoiding being too far from where medical attention could
1:53
help them. But each time they did that, it
1:57
reinforced the false belief that they were actually at risk.
2:02
There was no family history of heart issues.
2:06
There was no medical evidence of anything wrong with their heart.
2:11
They'd had all the scans that had all the tests, and yet the
2:14
anxiety was there. So what you're going to hear in
2:16
this particular hypnosis session is a hypnosis session that is.
2:20
Designed. To change the belief that a
2:23
heart is somehow unhealthy, defective or in danger, and
2:29
replace it with an idea that the heart is very healthy, very
2:32
strong, very resilient, even this idea of it.
2:35
Being indestructible. It also alludes to this idea of
2:39
having almost like the heart of a Viking warrior, and in the
2:43
conversation with a client before I did the hypnosis, I
2:46
talked about how the mindset of a Viking warrior before a battle
2:51
was. Fearless because they.
2:53
Held the belief that if they won the battle they'd be a hero, and
2:57
if they lost the battle and died they would go to Valhalla, which
3:01
was paradise. So whatever happened wasn't of
3:05
concern. To them they.
3:06
Could just focus on really focusing on the on the battle.
3:10
So that fearlessness of a Viking warrior is alluded to in this
3:15
hypnosis session. It uses elements of metaphor of
3:19
belief change of future pacing. There's a lot going on, and it
3:24
doesn't have to be the case that if you're listening to this that
3:26
you're anxious about your heart health.
3:30
The key essence to this hypnosis session is really about living a
3:33
full life, and an interesting thought experiment about life
3:39
itself is to consider one of two options.
3:43
That you live to be 120 but you don't get to do anything.
3:46
You have to stay in one. Room your whole.
3:49
Life. You know, eat food, watch TV,
3:52
but don't actually have any experiences.
3:54
Well, you live to something like 80, but you have the most
3:57
magical, amazing life full of experiences and memories.
4:01
And I think everyone would choose to live for a shorter
4:03
period of time. With a more.
4:05
Fulfilled life, and that's the essence of what living is.
4:08
It's not how long you live, it's the quality of life that you
4:11
live. And to do that, it doesn't mean
4:13
taking some risk, it does mean going outside.
4:16
The comfort zone, doing adventurous things, and that's
4:19
really. The essence of a life, playing
4:21
it safe. All your life.
4:24
Actually means not having a true life.
4:27
So if you like the idea of having more adventure, more
4:30
courage, you know more self belief, desire to take on more
4:34
risks in a in a positive way, then I think you'll get some
4:37
value from this session. It was created for an
4:40
individual, so if some of the suggestions don't quite relate
4:44
to you, that's fine just to disregard them and hone into the
4:48
suggestions that. Do.
4:49
Resonate with you and if you do like the idea of working with me
4:52
directly, have a look in the description for a link to book a
4:55
free consultation call. We'll have a chat and maybe.
4:58
We start working together. Me as your hypnotherapist.
5:01
For now though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
5:05
won't be disturbed. Relax.
5:07
And enjoy the session. Take a deep.
5:52
Breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in that long,
6:02
resourceful, relaxing breath. And as you exhale, feel the
6:11
wonderful sense of release, of releasing any tension, any
6:15
stress, any worries. Just feel it start to leave your
6:19
body. In your outward breath and when
6:24
you breathe in, breathe in more of that relaxation and just.
6:30
Feel. Now is the time to let go.
6:37
To let go of anything you've been holding onto that no longer
6:41
serves you. And maybe you can think of an
6:55
old item of clothing that for a while really felt like it was
7:04
part of you, your identity. Who you were?
7:10
Until one day you. Just.
7:12
Grew out of that item of clothing.
7:16
You stopped wearing it because it didn't quite fit you or.
7:21
Was suitable. For you anymore and I wonder.
7:28
If there's a. Belief like that, something that
7:32
you've been holding on to for a while and maybe.
7:37
You're already. Starting to feel that you're
7:41
outgrowing that belief, outgrowing it because it doesn't
7:47
give you what it was intended, not making you.
7:53
Safer, but. Increasing the very risk that
7:56
you're trying to avoid. So breathe in and breathe out.
8:07
Allow yourself to feel more and more comfortable.
8:11
That's it. Position your body in a way
8:12
where your arms and legs can feel heavier.
8:20
And as you hear the sound of my voice, your conscious mind may
8:27
begin to wonder. Maybe it wonders.
8:32
Where? Where you're breathing from your
8:36
chest or your diaphragm? Maybe it's wandering about.
8:44
The speed and depth of your breath is.
8:46
Slowing down and getting longer. Maybe you're becoming aware of
8:56
increasing levels of relaxation and DC, decreasing levels of
9:02
tension. That's it.
9:03
Feel it letting. Go and you're drifting now,
9:09
drifting deeper and deeper into a calm and peaceful state where
9:17
you don't need to figure anything out.
9:21
You just. Allow each breath to be a signal
9:26
where the inhale represents calm and the exhale represents
9:33
release. And in this moment, the world
9:38
can slow down. Tension can.
9:44
Be released. And time can slow.
9:48
As your thoughts. Also, slow down and settle.
9:52
That's it. Deeper and deeper, relaxed.
10:00
Every breath now is a permission slip to go.
10:02
Deeper and deeper. Still.
10:07
And the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you become.
10:12
And the more relaxed you become, the deeper you.
10:14
Breathe. And as your body relaxes, your
10:18
imagination awakens, and I want you to imagine what it would be
10:23
like. To be a.
10:26
Balloon floating over countryside.
10:30
Countryside of trees and forests, streams and rivers,
10:37
rolling hills, blue skies. And I want you to imagine seeing
10:46
a big old tree next to a river and just allow yourself as a
10:51
balloon to float on down right there by the side of that river.
10:58
And maybe prefer now in human form, to relax into the.
11:05
Shade of the. Tree or maybe?
11:10
Still by the. River seeing the tree, but under
11:13
the warmth of the sunshine, I want you to imagine a
11:21
comfortable chair, like an old armchair.
11:26
There by the. River and the tree and just
11:30
imagine sitting in that old armchair.
11:41
Feeling deeper and deeper relaxed.
11:47
I'm going to countdown from 12:50 and with each descending
11:50
number. You will.
11:52
Feel so relaxed in that imaginary armchair.
11:57
That you will feel that you can drift to a place.
12:02
Where you can. Take out an old belief by the
12:05
root. And plant.
12:08
A new idea. The very same space.
12:12
A new empowering belief. The very belief that is a
12:18
gateway. To a long.
12:21
Fulfilled incredible life. But for now, relax in that
12:29
chair. 10 feeling safe. 9 breathing deeper, 8 just
12:39
relaxing your shoulders now, and seven.
12:41
Releasing old thoughts. And seven, that's.
12:47
It really release those thoughts and. 6A Sense of comfort
12:50
spreading. Five.
12:54
Halfway there, just feel your breathing slow down. 4.
13:01
Feel your heart rate slowing down to that.
13:04
Level of. Pure relaxation 3.
13:07
Just tension being released now from your neck and your
13:10
shoulders 2 Down your arms and your legs feeling limp, loose
13:15
and heavy, and one deeply relaxed, open and receptive.
13:28
I want you to imagine staring at that.
13:31
Big old tree. By the river and just imagine
13:36
how. Difficult it would be to remove
13:38
that tree by the roots. But I want you to imagine going
13:43
back in time to when that big old.
13:45
Tree was a. Tiny tree, a sapling smaller
13:50
than you. Few weeks, maybe a few months
13:55
old. I want you to imagine how easy
13:59
it would. Be to pull that.
14:02
Tree out by the roots, but as you think of that tree, allow it
14:10
to represent a. Belief.
14:15
A belief that. Your heart can't cope with
14:22
anything too strenuous that your heart can't cope with living an
14:28
active life. That it's too risky to be.
14:32
Far away. Essentially the belief here is
14:38
that either your heart is defective.
14:40
Or in danger. And the more you think about
14:43
that belief. The more.
14:45
Ludicrous, that belief. Seems how absurd that belief
14:52
seems. And you could choose to keep
14:57
that belief. But what if in doing so, you
15:02
increase the very probability of manifesting, through avoidance
15:11
and inaction? An unhealthy heart, I wonder.
15:19
What would be a more useful belief?
15:24
Perhaps the belief that. Your heart is not just.
15:30
Healthy. It's strong, it's powerful, it's
15:34
indestructible. The harder you work.
15:38
Your heart, the stronger it becomes and by having a strong,
15:44
healthy heart. What if this is a passport?
15:51
To wonderful possibilities, to living.
15:54
A life well. Lived there are people on the
16:00
planet then have genuine heart defects, have to remain close to
16:08
a hospital, can't board a plane, can't do anything strenuous.
16:18
I want you to imagine trying to explain to them that you have.
16:24
A healthy heart, but a. Choosing not to have all the
16:28
benefits of this healthy heart. They would feel that you are.
16:34
Abusing your. Privilege that you have a gift
16:38
of a healthy. Heart.
16:40
And it is your duty to. Utilize the benefit of that
16:46
healthy heart and if your unconscious mind is ready to.
16:54
Take that old belief that your. Heart isn't healthy.
17:00
To pull that. Baby tree out by its roots.
17:04
Let me know by nodding your head and imagine forcefully throwing
17:12
that small sapling of a tree into the river and seeing the
17:15
river. Take it away.
17:19
And then see a new tree. Still a baby.
17:24
A sapling the same size as the other tree, but plant that one
17:27
in the same space and this tree represents.
17:33
That you. Have a strong, powerful heart, a
17:38
resilient heart and this heart needs stimulation, it needs to
17:44
be challenged. You have a privilege and a duty.
17:49
To make the most of your heart. To live a life well lived.
17:54
And imagine planting that tree in the same location.
18:02
Imagine it already starting to take root.
18:04
And. Then go forwards in time, seeing
18:09
a very large tree now by the river, knowing that that is now
18:15
your dominant belief whenever you think.
18:18
About your heart you will think of your.
18:19
Heart being healthy and strong and powerful.
18:23
A. Resilient Heart.
18:27
But the world. Will challenge this belief.
18:32
Imagine walking away from that tree in the river and seeing.
18:37
A pathway that leads to a. Crossroads to one side.
18:44
Is the old path the path of? Avoidance marked by fear, by
18:49
anxious thoughts. It's a familiar path.
18:54
But it's not true. You've walked it before.
19:00
The part where you. Acted as if.
19:02
Your heart. Is defective.
19:04
Or in danger, and when these anxieties echo.
19:13
And worry whispers. False alarms in the past, you
19:18
responded to them as if they were.
19:19
True, but they. Weren't when the anxieties echo.
19:28
You have a choice, the old path or the new path and I want you
19:33
to look. To the other.
19:34
Path. A path glowing with certainty.
19:40
And imagine an old wooden sign next to that path that says my
19:46
heart is powerful, strong and indestructible.
19:53
And when you feel that echo of anxiety, imagine choosing that
19:58
path. You don't just step onto that
20:01
path. You step forward and when you
20:07
step forward. And your intentions and and
20:11
actions align with. That belief?
20:15
Something changes inside. Imagine feeling the rhythm of
20:21
your heart becomes steady and calm.
20:25
Not just. Healthy but thriving that every
20:29
time you take. This part the echoes get.
20:34
Fainter and fainter until one day in the near future, you
20:40
won't hear an echo. Of anxiety at all.
20:48
I want you to get a sense that. Whatever belief you feed.
20:54
Becomes the dominant. Belief you feed.
20:59
Anxiety. Beliefs with avoidance.
21:03
And you feed empowering beliefs. With.
21:06
Action when you. Act as if the.
21:10
Fear isn't real. The.
21:11
Fear disappears. I.
21:15
Want you to get a sense now of seeing what your life would look
21:20
like a year from now. A year.
21:24
Of holding this new belief. A strong, healthy heart that
21:29
needs stimulation. Imagine the things that you'd
21:34
be. Doing the places.
21:36
You would go, it dawns on you. This.
21:43
Is a more fulfilling future. A life.
21:47
Of more experiences for a while. You thought that you feared
21:53
death. It wasn't.
21:55
True, you feared. Living a life unlived.
22:02
You craved life. And that is something.
22:09
That leads. To enthusiasm, passion and
22:12
wonderful experiences. And the more you live, the more
22:17
you move, the more you trust your heart only grows stronger.
22:24
And if you're resting, your heart is charging, renewing and
22:27
relaxing, like a Viking warrior sharping their blade before
22:33
their next battle or adventure. And if you are active, your
22:40
heart is exercising, upgrading, becoming more resilient, even
22:46
more powerful. And from now on, any flicker or
22:52
echo of anxiety becomes that crossroads.
22:57
A choice you can choose to support the old false belief.
23:03
That you are somehow fragile or at risk.
23:07
Or you can choose what is. Really true.
23:11
That you are. Alive you are, strong you are.
23:14
Vital and your. Heart is indestructible.
23:25
Imagine. Yourself 50 years.
23:29
From now and imagine two different versions of you.
23:33
A version of you that avoided many things.
23:42
Imagine that version of you. 50 years.
23:44
That's been 50 years. Not taking risks, not seeking
23:48
challenges. Avoiding adventures.
23:52
What does that version of you look like?
23:58
And then? Duplicate yourself 50.
24:01
Years from now, but see the version of you with the.
24:07
Heart of a Viking warrior. Fearless.
24:12
Whatever you do, takes you forward and you get.
24:16
To decide what life you want. A life of fear and trepidation,
24:23
anxiety and worry. Or a fearless.
24:26
Life a life of courage, adventure, experiences and
24:34
fulfilment. You decide what tree you grow,
24:42
what tree you nurture, what path on the crossroads you follow,
24:47
and if your unconscious is. Willing to adopt the new belief
24:57
as the default belief, as simply the way that you think about
25:01
your heart, your health. And your life let me know by
25:03
nodding your head that's it. And how you?
25:10
Feed this belief is whenever you act like this belief is.
25:15
True. Not only.
25:18
Does it make? This belief stronger.
25:21
But it keeps the old belief at Bay.
25:27
Imagine walking back to that tree, that river, and imagine
25:32
taking a quick swim in the river where you're washing off your
25:35
past. All those memories of using
25:39
avoidance, any memories of panic or anxiety.
25:46
Just treated as real. Emotions based on a.
25:48
False belief just. Wash them away.
25:50
Retain the wisdom, but let. Go of the.
25:52
Feelings. They're your past now and as you
25:59
emerge from the river. Feel.
26:01
A sense of being reborn renewed a new.
26:04
Belief a new. Outlook A desire?
26:09
To live a full. Adventurous life to.
26:16
Take a deep. Breath in through your nose and
26:20

26:24
wiggle. Your toes connect and calibrate
26:25
with the here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to
