  Hi. It's Adam here and in this.
• 0:41
  Hypnosis session you can be listening.
• 0:43
  To a weight. Loss hypnosis session.
• 0:46
  About the essence of food, now you can think about food as.
• 0:52
  A source of pleasure, source of joy, a source of sustenance.
• 0:56
  But when you think. About food in a certain.
• 0:59
  Way it becomes. Natural for you to overeat and
• 1:03
  when you think about food. In a different way, you start
• 1:07
  eating in such a way where your body gets healthier.
• 1:10
  And you get. More vitality.
• 1:14
  So this is a hypnosis session. Where you will start.
• 1:17
  To think about food as fuel, as medicine.
• 1:21
  As a source. Of vitality rather.
• 1:24
  Than. Just something to snack on if
• 1:27
  you feel peckish. So I would encourage you to
• 1:31
  enable. You to get real value from this.
• 1:33
  Hypnosis session is to think about what is your fundamental.
• 1:37
  Belief about food and if for. You food is what matters most is
• 1:42
  taste. And enjoyment and pleasure.
• 1:45
  This will be even more beneficial.
• 1:47
  Because if we can shift that to the primary.
• 1:50
  Belief. System about food being fuel and
• 1:54
  food being medicine. This could be transformative for
• 1:58
  you. Now it's going to work better
• 2:00
  for those people that either have an unhealthy relationship
• 2:04
  with food. Or that are overweight.
• 2:06
  So if that. Feels like you you're going to
• 2:08
  get. More value.
• 2:09
  From this session and if you like the idea of working with
• 2:12
  me. Directly rather than.
• 2:14
  Listening to a recording that was done for.
• 2:15
  Someone else? Have a look.
• 2:17
  In the. Show notes because there is a
• 2:19
  link to a suitability test and also a link to a webinar for
• 2:23
  you. To find out if hypnotherapy is.
• 2:25
  Going to be right for you. For now, though, find a quiet.
• 2:29
  Comfortable place where you. Won't be distracted or
• 2:31
  disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 3:04
  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in that
• 3:15
  resourceful feeling of calm and relaxation.
• 3:20
  And as you exhale, feel a wonderful feeling of release, as
• 3:31
  if any tension, any stress, any worries, or slowly and gradually
• 3:43
  leaving your body in your outward breath.
• 3:54
  When you breathe in, breathe in slightly deeper than you
• 3:57
  normally would, and as you exhale, just allow that outward
• 4:07
  breath to continue like a release valve, letting out any
• 4:18
  stresses and strains, fatigue and drains.
• 4:22
  Just allow it to leave your body, and with every breath you
• 4:30
  take and every exhale, perhaps you can feel yourself drifting a
• 4:36
  little deeper, a little further down into the most comfortable.
• 4:45
  Most peaceful state. Of relaxation that is possible
• 4:53
  for you to experience now. And maybe you can notice the
• 5:01
  weight of your body, your arms and your legs.
• 5:06
  Just feel it settling and sinking as every muscle
• 5:11
  releases, every joint softens, every part of you that has been
• 5:21
  holding on simply let's go. And I wonder if you can notice
• 5:31
  how safe it feels to simply be here right now.
• 5:40
  Nothing to do, nowhere to be. Just you and this deep,
• 5:49
  beautiful stillness. And as I countdown from 5 to 1,
• 5:56
  I want you to imagine drifting to a safe place.
• 6:04
  This may be a safe place in your imagination, a memory where you
• 6:10
  felt safe, or perhaps a place you know well that feels safe
• 6:20
  for you. So let's take you to that place
• 6:23
  now. 5 drifting deeper down. 4 floating off in your imagination
• 6:33
  to that place. Three, your unconscious mind is
• 6:40
  taking you there. 2 Somewhere that feels entirely safe. 1A
• 6:51
  place that's entirely yours. That's it.
• 6:54
  Find yourself arriving in that place, and maybe it's a place
• 7:03
  from a memory or somewhere your imagination simply creates right
• 7:09
  now. But begin to.
• 7:13
  Notice this place with all of your senses.
• 7:22
  Maybe there's a temperature or colours, a texture, perhaps
• 7:30
  sounds or smells. Just connect to that place.
• 7:40
  This is your place. Nothing can harm you here.
• 7:47
  No old feeling can touch you without your permission.
• 7:53
  You are completely and utterly safe, and perhaps we'll travel
• 8:04
  back and visit some old memories.
• 8:12
  But these are. Just memories the adult you, the
• 8:18
  wise, knowing, capable you. You are here in your safe place.
• 8:27
  It's just your thoughts going back to a memory, perhaps to
• 8:33
  look at what caused old beliefs and see them through a new lens
• 8:40
  now. And I want you to imagine.
• 8:50
  Imagine a river that represents time.
• 8:57
  Forwards is the future, and down, up the current, upstream.
• 9:05
  This is your past. This is the river of your life,
• 9:14
  and every memory, every experience, every moment that
• 9:20
  has shaped you lives along the banks of this river.
• 9:29
  And we're going to travel back along this river, not to relive
• 9:34
  anything painful, but to see it with new eyes, with all of the
• 9:43
  wisdom and knowledge you now have.
• 9:47
  Those old stories will have a different connotation.
• 9:57
  And maybe you can find a memory where someone was offering
• 10:03
  something sweet like candy or sweets, and you were running
• 10:10
  down a hill, perhaps to find it. And I want you to observe the
• 10:19
  facial expression of that child. There wasn't any intention other
• 10:30
  than to seek out something pleasurable.
• 10:38
  No need for guilt. No need for shame.
• 10:43
  In fact, notice the joy because that younger version of you
• 10:49
  didn't realize them. These sweet things can be
• 10:57
  addictive, can be destructive. It was just pure innocence back
• 11:04
  then. But I want you to focus on the
• 11:09
  wanting. Perhaps afterwards there was
• 11:13
  guilt, criticism. But I want you to tell that
• 11:21
  younger version of you it's fine to want.
• 11:31
  She was a child, a healthy, alive, completely normal child.
• 11:39
  Just wanted something sweet on a sunny day.
• 11:47
  So now, with all that you know, I want you to walk toward her.
• 11:55
  Let her see you. Let her know that someday she
• 12:01
  will grow into someone who understands something, something
• 12:09
  that her mother couldn't quite teach her.
• 12:18
  That wanting is not the same as taking.
• 12:23
  Desire is not the same. Hunger is not the same as greed.
• 12:37
  It's fine to want. There's nothing wrong with
• 12:42
  wanting, but true discernment comes from the intelligence of
• 12:50
  knowing what it is that you do want.
• 12:58
  Because there's a part within you that wants health and
• 13:04
  vitality and happiness. Then visit a memory.
• 13:16
  But that younger version of you was sneaky, eating a chocolate
• 13:24
  bar in secrecy. The fear of judgement, of
• 13:34
  criticism, of shame. And what if those young
• 13:42
  childhood memories paradoxically increased your desire because it
• 13:53
  was forbidden, It wasn't allowed.
• 13:58
  Somehow it made it more appealing.
• 14:05
  So go back to that child that was eating that chocolate and
• 14:18
  ask why do you want this? And just listen to the words.
• 14:47
  Perhaps a new idea as to what is truly desirable.
• 14:56
  Now we need to visit a memory where you saw the echoes of
• 15:04
  scarcity, the ripples of a aftermath of starvation.
• 15:15
  Wouldn't it be natural for someone that had starved to feel
• 15:23
  a desire to link happiness and joy to the very natural activity
• 15:31
  of eating? That unconsciously food became
• 15:39
  safety, but it was too broad. All food, even sweet, refined,
• 15:53
  processed food. All of that was happiness and
• 15:58
  safety. Except it wasn't.
• 16:05
  Your parents had good intentions, strongly held
• 16:12
  values, but you are not living their story.
• 16:21
  You're not in the aftermath of poverty, living with the trauma
• 16:29
  of starvation. What happened to them doesn't
• 16:39
  need to ripple into your life. And I want you to imagine now.
• 16:51
  Now is the time to find a better shield.
• 16:59
  Find the place on the riverbank where a version of you picked up
• 17:04
  a shield, a layer of fat to protect.
• 17:12
  And it kind of worked for a while.
• 17:21
  But what if that was not the best shield?
• 17:27
  What if strength, vitality, energy and confidence is a
• 17:32
  better shield? I want you to meet that version
• 17:38
  of you, a teenager. Tell them there's a better
• 17:43
  shield. Discernment is a better shield.
• 17:53
  Confidence is a better shield. That version of you doesn't need
• 18:02
  to hide behind body fat and feel that rippling from your past to
• 18:12
  your present. Tell that younger version of you
• 18:20
  that you are a warrior, a formidable warrior.
• 18:27
  And a warrior doesn't need extra weight to be formidable.
• 18:33
  It's their character, their standards, their wisdom and
• 18:38
  their strength that makes a warrior formidable.
• 18:43
  It's what they carry inside. That's what makes them strong.
• 18:51
  And if you can see that teenage version of you putting down that
• 18:58
  shield and ready to embrace a stronger, more powerful shield,
• 19:05
  let me know by nodding your head.
• 19:08
  That's it. And in doing so, it's time to
• 19:16
  plant new trees, new beliefs, new ideas there on the riverbank
• 19:23
  in your past. And these aren't rules.
• 19:32
  They're not restrictions, not chores or obligations that you
• 19:37
  have to do or not do. Consider these truths, your
• 19:44
  truths, and ones that deep down your body already knows.
• 19:52
  Because your body already knows them, your mind and body will
• 19:59
  accept them. So imagine finding a place on
• 20:05
  the riverbank to plant a tree. A tree that represents A belief
• 20:12
  that good food is fuel and bad food is fatigue.
• 20:21
  Maybe you imagine yourself as an extraordinary machine.
• 20:29
  Every machine requires fuel, and the quality of the fuel
• 20:35
  determines the quality of the performance.
• 20:40
  And when you eat food powered by sunshine and rainwater, whole
• 20:46
  proteins, colourful vegetables, clean fats, your body has
• 20:52
  exactly what it needs to run cleanly, efficiently and
• 20:59
  powerfully. Energy that sustains and clarity
• 21:07
  that stays. And bad food.
• 21:15
  That's the food that's been meddled with.
• 21:19
  Food made in a laboratory, Refined flour and refined sugar.
• 21:25
  Find everything. Your body thinks it's food, but
• 21:34
  it's just a product masquerading as food.
• 21:40
  The fatigue that follows is not a coincidence.
• 21:44
  It's the evidence that it's bad food and you know, fatigue, and
• 21:56
  now you know how to reduce it. Whole natural foods give you
• 22:03
  energy and fuel, and the processed foods, the convenience
• 22:10
  foods is like a Leech draining it from you.
• 22:20
  Consider every time you choose good food as a gift, you're
• 22:26
  giving yourself. At every age you've ever been a
• 22:35
  gift, you're giving yourself as a child, as a teenager, as an
• 22:45
  adult. You're giving yourself a gift
• 22:51
  and see that tree already starting to sprout.
• 22:56
  Good food is fuel, bad food is fatigue.
• 23:02
  And let's plant the second tree there in the riverbank in your
• 23:07
  past. Good food is medicine.
• 23:13
  Bad food is poison. You know that's true already.
• 23:23
  There are people, people that eat good quality natural foods
• 23:34
  brimming with vitality even late into their life.
• 23:42
  And there are people sick and sore.
• 23:50
  And I want you to get a sense that that food, processed food,
• 24:00
  often contains 3 white poisons, salt, sugar, refined flour,
• 24:12
  sometimes just one, and sometimes all three.
• 24:23
  And I want you to get a sense that your body is naturally
• 24:29
  designed to heal. It just needs the right
• 24:33
  ingredients to do what it naturally does every day.
• 24:40
  It manages an immune system that is working overtime, and what
• 24:47
  you eat is either information that helps it fight or noise
• 24:54
  that makes the battle harder. But that colourful food, the
• 25:02
  deep greens, the bright Reds, the vivid oranges and purples,
• 25:08
  What if that carries the micronutrients your cells need
• 25:11
  to reduce inflammation, support healing and give your immune
• 25:18
  system the very tools it came to the fight without?
• 25:25
  Allow yourself to crave those brightly coloured fruits and
• 25:33
  vegetables and think of eating the rainbow as giving your body
• 25:39
  reinforcements. This is not a diet, this is
• 25:49
  focused on what you do want. Protein, nutrients and the
• 25:59
  occasional fats. Give your body what it needs and
• 26:05
  it will do the hard work for you from this moment forward.
• 26:13
  Every meal and every bite you take is either a dose of
• 26:19
  medicine or a small dose of poison.
• 26:26
  And you choose medicine because you are someone who wants to
• 26:30
  heal. And the final tree before we
• 26:37
  leave this place is that good food is freedom and bad food is
• 26:44
  captivity. Your body, when it's nourished,
• 26:53
  is free and mobile and energized.
• 27:00
  But bad food that can drain your energy, make you dependent on
• 27:07
  medication, make it harder to move.
• 27:13
  It's like a chain, invisible walls that restrict you.
• 27:22
  So from this moment forward, consider food either a step
• 27:27
  towards freedom or a step towards captivity.
• 27:35
  And you focus on what you want, not what you don't want.
• 27:39
  You want health, vitality and freedom.
• 27:49
  I want you to get a sense that hunger is just a signal, a
• 27:59
  signal that your body is adapting.
• 28:05
  Being hungry is safe. In fact, it's a good sign.
• 28:16
  If you were never hungry, you wouldn't enjoy food.
• 28:22
  If you were never hungry, your body would not need to burn body
• 28:28
  fat as fuel. Hunger is safety, and being
• 28:36
  discerning and making great food choices enables your trees to
• 28:43
  grow stronger. I want you to get a sense that
• 28:50
  you now look back and see those trees flourishing.
• 28:58
  Good food is fuel, good food is medicine, and good food is
• 29:04
  freedom. And before we return, I want you
• 29:08
  to look up the river and see that future version of you
• 29:15
  acting in accordance with these truths.
• 29:22
  And I wonder, I wonder what wonderful things your future has
• 29:28
  in store when it feels good and enjoyable and safe to choose
• 29:38
  good food. And as you hold that thought,
• 29:43
  it's time to return, leaving the river and returning to the
• 29:48
  present. So take a deep breath in through
• 29:51
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 29:55
  Wiggle your fingers. Wiggle your toes.
• 29:59
  Connect and calibrate into the. Here and the now as I count from
• 30:03
