0:00
Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside

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.
0:43
Hi, it's Adam here. And in this hypnosis session
0:47
you're going to be listening to a weight loss hypnosis session
0:50
that was created for a client that had lost weight but then
0:54
had hit a plateau. And I think this is the most.
0:58
Precarious part. Of weight loss.
1:00
For a lot of people, they are happy to make great choices with
1:04
food and be active, have that calorie deficit if they're
1:10
seeing regular progress, but when there's a plateau, it's
1:13
the. Point where?
1:15
A lot of people make the internal evaluation that what am
1:19
I doing all this for and if I'm eating well and exercising but
1:23
not losing weight, what's the point?
1:25
And that creates a self fulfilling prophecy because then
1:28
it gives them permission to do exactly the.
1:31
Kind of things. Like eating more and snacking
1:34
more. That would actually inverse all
1:37
of the progress that's already been made.
1:40
This client wasn't at that point yet.
1:42
They were exercising well. In fact, increasing.
1:45
The amount of cardio, continuing to make good choices with food,
1:49
but not quite seeing the progress that they were looking
1:51
for. So this uses a metaphor of.
1:56
One of these. Electronic walkways, these
1:59
travelators, so quite often you see them in airports where
2:03
they're moving the floor so you can make more progress quicker.
2:07
And the reason that this is quite a good metaphor is that
2:10
this client was doing the right things but not seeing a lot of
2:13
the progress. So it's almost like.
2:15
Walking forwards. Where the moving walkway is
2:18
going in the opposite direction. So you're doing effort but not
2:22
seeing progress yet. However, what I know having
2:26
worked with so many clients for weight loss.
2:29
Is that there is a game? Of patience, that progress isn't
2:31
always a nice gradient down from their current weight to their
2:36
idle weight. Sometimes there's a plateau and
2:39
then a big breakthrough. And I wanted to harness this
2:42
metaphor of the travelator moving in the wrong direction,
2:46
so. That they would.
2:46
Get the impact of feeling it moving in the right direction
2:50
towards where they wanted to be and that is?
2:53
Losing more weight? And in particular, their
2:55
compelling vision was an upcoming holiday to Italy where
2:58
they really wanted to feel that they were going to be 1 clothing
3:02
size lower for that. Upcoming holiday.
3:07
This will be a very useful session for anyone that is on a
3:11
weight loss journey but not seeing the level of progress
3:14
that they would like, and therefore the metaphor is really
3:17
going to hit where you're at right now.
3:20
It's not the ideal session if you haven't started to lose
3:23
weight yet because normally the first few months of weight loss
3:26
you see rapid progress. This is when you've already made
3:29
that initial burst of progress. There's a plateau before the
3:33
next phase of progress, so if you want to lose weight and you
3:37
want hypnosis to help you, you might find this hypnosis session
3:40
quite useful if you've hit that plateau, but just be aware that
3:44
it was created for a specific. Individual.
3:48
It's unlikely. That you're going to have a
3:50
holiday booked to southern Italy and therefore some of the
3:53
suggestions aren't going to be quite right for you.
3:56
Take what's useful, disregard anything that doesn't quite
3:59
resonate with you, but if you do, like the idea of a bespoke
4:04
hypnosis session. Customized and.
4:06
Created to your exact circumstances.
4:09
Look at the link in the description and you'll be able
4:11
to schedule a free consultation. Call to explore.
4:14
What it would be like for us to work together directly.
4:18
For now though, you might really get some value from this
4:20
session. So find a quiet, comfortable
4:22
place where you won't be disturbed.
4:25
Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
5:33
you breathe in, breathe in that slow, long, relaxing breath.
5:41
And as you exhale, feel a sense of release, particularly around
5:53
those tiny muscles around your eyelids, around your forehead.
6:01
Just feel that tension starting to melt away.
6:09
Breathing in the relaxation, and that's it.
6:16
Exhaling that tension now, and the deeper you breathe in, the
6:25
more of that relaxation. And as you exhale, feel that the
6:35
longer you elongate that outward breath, the more of that
6:42
tension, that stress, any worries, is just leaving your
6:48
body in that outward breath. And with your eyes closed, just
6:57
imagine a point on the top of your head, the very crown of
7:06
your head. And with your eyes closed, just
7:09
imagine looking upwards through your brain to that crown of your
7:15
head, eyes going upwards with your eyelid shut.
7:23
Feel feel that sense of temporary discomfort so that on
7:38
the next outward breath you can relax your eyes completely.
7:43
That's it. Enabling your whole head to
7:49
start feeling more and more comfortable, more and more
7:56
relaxed. The deeper you breathe, the more
8:02
relaxed you become. And the more relaxed you become,
8:06
the deeper you breathe. And as your body relaxes, your
8:11
imagination awakens. That's in.
8:18
And I wonder if you could imagine a long corridor, the
8:25
kind of corridor that you might see at an airport that connects
8:32
the main departure lounge with the main airport.
8:38
You know the ones, those long, long corridors.
8:44
But I want you to imagine, and it is just your imagination, but
8:51
there is no one else there. It is just you on these long
8:58
corridors. And what if this long corridor
9:04
represented a journey from where you are to where you want to be?
9:13
The end of that corridor would represent you at a particular
9:20
weight, shape, levels of energy and confidence.
9:30
That's it. The corridor is the journey
9:35
towards that health, vitality, high self esteem and oozing
9:43
levels of confidence. But as you look down, I want you
9:51
to see one of those moving walkways, A travelator.
9:57
You've seen them before in an airport and normally they
10:04
amplify the very direction that you're walking.
10:12
They just help you to walk that way faster.
10:17
But as you look down, I want you to see that the travelator is
10:23
moving in the opposite direction.
10:25
And no matter how far and fast you walk, to the outside world,
10:35
it seems like you're staying in the same place.
10:40
But that's not what's really happening because you're getting
10:46
stronger, building good habits. It's just that temporarily,
10:56
those good choices, good habits, good decisions are temporarily
11:01
being neutralized. And sometimes it could feel
11:06
frustrating to do the right things but not see the progress.
11:20
And you've had those times on the travel later that it moved
11:23
with you, and you could imagine what it would feel like if it's
11:27
moving in that opposite direction.
11:33
So now, just for the time being, maybe it's felt like every step
11:41
forward keeps you in the same place, like you're walking
11:48
against the grain, The kind of effort that doesn't move the
11:56
dial doesn't move you forwards. And for a while, maybe it felt
12:05
like you were stuck, like you hit that plateau.
12:22
As you imagine breathing in and breathing out on that moving
12:25
walkway, I want you to imagine how good it would feel if you
12:39
see the walkway beneath you slowing down.
12:47
Suddenly you start seeing yourself moving forwards, see
12:56
that travelator, then stop. And now by doing the same things
13:03
in the same way, you're actually moving forwards.
13:09
Suddenly your effort counts again.
13:15
Every step you take now is pure forward motion and that
13:23
destination that you want to get to is getting closer and closer.
13:31
No resistance, no sabotage, just progress powered by intention,
13:42
motivation and momentum. And all the way at the end of
13:50
that corridor, I want you to see things that remind you, or at
13:58
least symbolize Italy, the southern part of Italy.
14:06
And maybe it's the architecture, maybe it's those cobbled streets
14:15
or olive trees, perhaps it's the sunshine and blue skies.
14:24
Just get a sense that that's further down the corridor.
14:29
You're not there yet, but you are now making progress towards
14:36
that version of you Feel yourself.
14:44
Not just walking forwards now, but the travelator is now moving
14:49
in the same direction that you're walking.
14:53
This thing that was once keeping you treading water in a hamster
14:59
wheel of being active but not making progress is now enhancing
15:04
your progress. Every time you exercise and eat
15:09
well, the travelator is amplifying your progress,
15:17
helping you to move forwards at a faster rate.
15:25
And as you walk on that travelator, get a sense of pure
15:30
gratitude for the strength in your legs and the mobility in
15:37
your knees. Notice your knees.
15:43
Healthy, mobile, no pain, no restrictions.
15:51
And maybe in the past you'd have wondered could you be walking
15:56
this fast using your knees? But now you are, and they carry
16:03
you effortlessly. And it's no surprise the more
16:10
active you are, the closer you are getting to your destination.
16:19
And right now it might be walking.
16:22
But that's not the only activity that can move you forwards.
16:32
I want you to imagine seeing a large glass container there on
16:37
the travelator. Imagine swimming in that large
16:43
glass container and the travelator still moves you
16:47
forward. And then imagine seeing those
16:53
small bouncy trampolines, but even if you were bouncing on the
17:00
trampoline, the travelator still moves you forwards.
17:08
And then see a rowing machine, They're on that long travelator
17:13
taking you to your destination. The rowing machine also moves
17:19
you forwards and you get a sense of joy and pleasure and
17:28
satisfaction from being active and moving your body.
17:35
And it's all moving you forwards because each of these activities
17:43
is not a chore or a task. I want you to get a sense that
17:49
it's enhancing the very. Journey that you're.
17:52
On like a gift and every extra minute or every extra session,
18:04
not only are you feeling pride and accomplishment, but
18:09
increasing momentum because this body of yours is responding,
18:18
adapting, rebuilding and reclaiming, becoming stronger
18:25
and more powerful with every move.
18:33
Notice the travelator is taking you closer and closer to that
18:37
destination that reminds you of Italy and Italian things.
18:51
And you don't have to get there in one go.
18:54
One day, one week at a time, become stepping stones towards
19:00
this place, and it might be that a regular time of weighing
19:06
yourself, perhaps once a week at the same time of day, is just
19:15
enough for you to see the progress.
19:19
And if those scales show that you're making progress, you will
19:24
feel the momentum building within you to make even more
19:28
great choices. And if there's ever a week that
19:33
shows no progress for that week, feel a sense of resolve and
19:41
motivation increasing within you that whatever the scales show
19:47
you, it moves you forwards. And there are many people that
19:54
do the opposite. That if the.
19:57
Scales show them that they're losing weight.
20:00
It gives them permission to treat themselves with the very
20:05
food that would impede their progress.
20:08
And if the scales show that they're not losing weight, it
20:12
would give them permission to stop doing those healthy habits
20:16
and choices, and thereby you doing the opposite moves you
20:23
forwards. Rather than holds you back,
20:28
you're not afraid to look at the scales because whatever number
20:33
it shows you helps you either by increasing momentum or
20:40
increasing motivation. But just once a week.
20:47
To avoid that analysis paralysis, once a week is enough
20:55
to give you a spring forward. Or perhaps galvanized your
21:00
intentions and motivations. Because better choices means
21:09
more movement and even better choices of what to eat, when to
21:16
eat. And sometimes every now and
21:20
then, you will desire not to eat food, but drink it.
21:26
By juicing those vegetables, you will give a gift to your body of
21:34
high nutrition, but the kind of nutrition that shrinks your
21:41
stomach, reducing your appetite. And whenever you have a day
21:49
where you only have juices, you will feel that that travelator
21:54
is getting faster, enhancing your ability to get to your
22:00
destination. Every progress propels you
22:08
forwards and I want you to imagine that travelator is
22:14
getting you very close to that destination that looks like
22:21
Italy. But the version of you you see
22:25
at the end of the travelator is 1 size smaller than your current
22:32
size. You can see a version of you
22:37
that is 1 size slimmer and the moment you get to the end.
22:42
Of the travelator. You become them and feel in
22:48
advance how wonderful it would feel to be at this new weight.
22:58
This new weight allows your imagination to take you
23:03
forwards, to anticipate in advance how good it would feel
23:12
to be having that time in beautiful Sorrento in Italy,
23:20
wearing the clothes that you could only wear one size
23:25
smaller. Catch yourself in a reflection
23:31
of a shop window, looking toned, vibrant, energized as you walk
23:39
confidently through those. Cobbled streets.
23:44
Or maybe swim in the sea. We'll take a dip in a peaceful
23:50
pool overlooking the incredible coastline in advance.
23:58
Feel that feeling of pride, because you earned this.
24:05
It wasn't given to you. You were consistent, determined,
24:12
tenacious. These good feelings you've
24:16
earned, they weren't given to you.
24:21
So you can feel proud of feeling proud, not just because of how
24:27
you look, but more importantly, because of what it represents.
24:36
Represents the commitment, the progress, the moments of choice.
24:43
That's what created this reality.
24:47
But this future is not a fantasy or wishful thinking.
24:53
It is a destination that is a reflection of an intention.
24:59
And every activity and food choice and movement that is
25:05
aligned with this intention brings you closer, speeds up the
25:11
travel later. So imagine how good it would
25:15
feel to be there, there in Italy, feeling light and lean
25:23
and toned, with a spring in your step, bursting with confidence.
25:35
And if you can anticipate in advance how good it would feel,
25:37
let me know by nodding your head.
25:42
And just know you have the power to steer yourself in this
25:49
direction, that the travelator that was keeping you on that
25:54
plateau will very quickly be amplifying every choice, every
26:03
moment of exercise to get you to this destination quicker.
26:11
So bring that feeling of certainty, pride and forward
26:16
motion. Enable it to feel that it exists
26:21
within you now. Let it settle deep in your
26:27
subconscious as your new default setting.
26:35
You don't have to wait. This is activating now.
26:42
The travelator is already moving with you rather than against
26:47
you. You're no longer on a plateau.
26:52
You are in motion again, and every day your steps get
26:59
lighter, your energy gets brighter, and your future gets
27:05
closer. You are unlocking all of the
27:11
resources you need to make more progress.
27:19
And as you hold onto that thorn, it's time to reconnect with the
27:25
here and the now, but taking these beliefs, feelings, and
27:30
strategies with you. So take a deep breath in through
27:35
your nose and out through your nose.
27:41
Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
27:44
Start to connect and calibrate with the here and the now as I
27:50
now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
27:55
And you will awaken feeling resourceful, motivated, ready
28:02
for that next phase of transformation, starting to
28:07
count. 123. Waking up 456 More alert 7-8
28:16
Open your eyes. Open your eyes 910 Wide awake,
28:21
Wide awake. Wide awake.
