• 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 hypnosis session
• 0:47
  all about adventure. And I was working with a client
• 0:50
  that had a real sense of adventure throughout their
• 0:53
  childhood and throughout their kind of early adulthood.
• 0:57
  But in their 30s, something changed, and it was likely to do
• 1:00
  with their work environment, where following the rules became
• 1:06
  more of a rewarded culture than taking risk and being
• 1:12
  adventurous. And that can happen, you know,
• 1:15
  equally a lot of people lose a sense of adventure naturally
• 1:20
  when they get older because they've got more
• 1:21
  responsibilities and they don't want to lose these things that
• 1:25
  they've built up. But it comes at a cost.
• 1:28
  And the cost is that no risk, no reward.
• 1:32
  And if you keep doing what you've always done, you're going
• 1:34
  to keep getting what you've always got.
• 1:35
  And I think that's a an Einstein, or at least attributed
• 1:38
  to an Einstein quote. But it makes sense that if you
• 1:43
  believe in cause and effect, keep doing the same things,
• 1:46
  you're going to keep getting similar kind of outcomes.
• 1:49
  So adventure doesn't have to be quitting your job and going
• 1:53
  traveling around the world, and it doesn't have to be buying a
• 1:56
  boat or a zoo or something like that.
• 1:59
  Adventure could be taking a risk in any area of your life,
• 2:04
  something outside of the comfort zone, something that has
• 2:07
  unpredictable outcomes that you don't know it's going to work
• 2:11
  out. OK, Committing to a relationship
• 2:16
  could be an adventure. Trying a different career could
• 2:20
  be an adventure. So there's all these things that
• 2:22
  can be adventures that don't have to link with the standard
• 2:29
  idea of what an adventure is. You don't have to become Indiana
• 2:32
  Jones and. Look for treasure.
• 2:34
  Somewhere far-flung part of the world to be having an adventure.
• 2:39
  And this particular client wanted to reactivate this sense
• 2:44
  of adventure because they'd go into an element of playing it
• 2:48
  safe so much that they weren't doing anything different in case
• 2:52
  something goes wrong. But that's what makes an
• 2:55
  adventure an adventure. The fact that there is no
• 2:57
  guarantees. If it was guaranteed, it feels
• 3:00
  more like a theme park ride. It's the illusion of excitement,
• 3:05
  but not real excitement because everything's safe.
• 3:08
  So true adventure does carry some form of risk that things
• 3:12
  might not work out. And being OK with that, it's not
• 3:16
  that you need the guarantees, it's that if something doesn't
• 3:20
  go to plan, then that itself becomes an opportunity to
• 3:24
  problem solve, to learn to resolve a situation.
• 3:30
  And nobody would become a parent if they didn't realize that
• 3:36
  there would be unpredictable things that happened.
• 3:38
  So there's all of these things that naturally have that element
• 3:43
  of you can't know for sure what is going to happen, but people
• 3:47
  make the evaluation consciously or unconsciously that they'll
• 3:50
  deal with it. Every business owner, you could
• 3:54
  ask them, you know, would you have even started the business
• 3:57
  if you knew all the challenges that you would face?
• 3:59
  And quite often they would say no.
• 4:01
  But the fact that they didn't know and were willing to deal
• 4:03
  with the challenges as they arise actually leads them to
• 4:06
  becoming quite resilient and resourceful and having the
• 4:09
  mindset that they can deal with whatever life throws at them.
• 4:13
  This particular client could identify a lot with an old
• 4:18
  children's series of books called The Famous 5 and the
• 4:23
  Famous 5 written by Enid Blyton. And it had certain characters, a
• 4:29
  family, four siblings and a dog. They call on these wild
• 4:33
  adventures. And it was very, very popular
• 4:36
  many, many years ago. And it was for a lot of children
• 4:41
  a gateway into how they could be adventurous within their
• 4:44
  imagination and which characters they could identify with.
• 4:47
  So this particular client had had that experience of
• 4:50
  identifying with these kind of characters in the Famous 5.
• 4:54
  But also the adventure that Alice in Wonderland goes on in
• 5:00
  either Alice in Wonderland or Through the Looking Glass, this
• 5:02
  kind of element of strange place within the imagination.
• 5:08
  You know, most people look at Alice in Wonderland as a a
• 5:12
  metaphor for the capability of the imagination and what she
• 5:16
  experienced wasn't real, it was just a way for her to explore
• 5:20
  her imagination. So we use those in the induction
• 5:24
  and the five characters from the famous 5 become almost
• 5:27
  archetypes to represent different ego states or resource
• 5:31
  states, the idea that they exist within the individual and we
• 5:35
  work with those. Rather than saying like we have
• 5:37
  to kill off a part, it's more to give it its role.
• 5:41
  And a nurturing part should be giving nurturing
• 5:43
  responsibilities. You don't want a nurturing part
• 5:45
  to be making decisions on risk because they're going to be risk
• 5:48
  averse. Whereas a courageous adventurer
• 5:53
  is going to take the risks and you want to have the right role
• 5:58
  in the right functions. There's a bit going on in this
• 6:01
  session, but at its core, this is all about unleashing a
• 6:07
  renewed sense of adventure. And one thing I will say, I was
• 6:11
  aware that when I was recording this, there was a little bit of
• 6:16
  noise outside of my studio that I wasn't able to control.
• 6:20
  So if you hear that, just acknowledge that, you know, what
• 6:24
  I do is never, I never stop the hypnosis.
• 6:30
  I just kind of carry on, you know?
• 6:32
  And hypnotists are taught to do something called manage
• 6:35
  distractions. So if it was a real client, you
• 6:38
  would pre frame that in the pre talk.
• 6:40
  Obviously you can't do that in a recording.
• 6:42
  So this is my equivalent of that now just to say any
• 6:44
  distractions, just allow them to, you know, come up and then
• 6:49
  disappear and continue with the session.
• 6:51
  I hope you enjoy this particular if you want to feel more
• 6:54
  adventurous this year. So find a quiet, comfortable
• 6:56
  place where you ideally won't be disturbed throughout the whole
• 7:00
  thing and just relax and enjoy the session.
• 7:27
  Take a deep breath in and as you breathe in, breathe in a slow,
• 7:40
  long, relaxing breath and as you exhale, just allow the weight of
• 7:49
  the day to gently melt away and feel that tension leave your
• 7:58
  body in that outward breath. As you breathe in and breathe
• 8:06
  out, allow yourself to relax more deeply.
• 8:20
  Allow yourself to release any tension and feel a wonderful
• 8:26
  sense of letting go, of letting go of old ideas, things you
• 8:38
  learn, perhaps in a structured hierarchical world that doesn't
• 8:47
  belong to you anymore. Scan your body for any clues of
• 8:53
  tension and set the intention not that these tensions will
• 9:01
  melt away. Set the intention that these
• 9:10
  tensions can be harnessed almost like alchemy.
• 9:22
  But instead of turning lead into gold, what if you were turning
• 9:29
  tension into adventure? As you breathe in and breathe
• 9:39
  out, feel that tensions start to convert, alter and change.
• 9:48
  And while that alchemy is happening, perhaps you could
• 9:53
  imagine a tranquil garden bathed in soft spring sunshine, a place
• 10:07
  where time seems to stand still. I want you to imagine you're
• 10:15
  exploring this garden. It feels magical.
• 10:22
  And imagine noticing something curious.
• 10:26
  A rabbit hole. That twists and turns into the
• 10:31
  earth, or perhaps a glistening looking glass that shimmers with
• 10:39
  possibilities. You can choose to explore the
• 10:47
  rabbit hole or the looking glass.
• 10:52
  Allow your intuition to tell you as you evaluate which of the two
• 11:00
  calls you more. Feel the pull, the invitation to
• 11:06
  explore something unknown. And as you do, notice how a
• 11:17
  sense of calm curiosity begins to grow, allowing you to trust
• 11:26
  this journey into your own unconscious mind.
• 11:32
  And maybe you lean forward, stepping through the looking
• 11:36
  glass or sliding effortlessly down the rabbit hole.
• 11:44
  And with each movement, feel yourself transitioning, perhaps
• 11:51
  going deeper and deeper into a new realm, a space where
• 11:58
  anything is possible, where your imagination and resources can be
• 12:08
  what they're destined to be. Feel the journey unfolding layer
• 12:18
  by layer as you drift down past the conscious, into the
• 12:25
  subconscious and into the boundless realms of your
• 12:31
  unconscious, as each breath carries you further and deeper
• 12:41
  into a place where marvellous, incredible changes are possible.
• 12:54
  As you find yourself in this new realm, imagine yourself in a
• 13:02
  vibrant, dreamlike landscape filled with a glow of
• 13:09
  opportunity. And imagine before you stand 5
• 13:16
  figures, each radiating their own unique energy.
• 13:25
  These are not strangers, parts of you, aspects of yourself
• 13:34
  waiting to guide you. Perhaps you could imagine Julian
• 13:42
  the leader stepping forward, exuding confidence, clarity and
• 13:48
  acquired courage as you feel his presence and recognise the
• 13:53
  strength within yourself to lead boldly, to face risks head on
• 14:01
  with poise and determination. And he tells you adventure is
• 14:08
  not about guarantees, it's about the thrill of the unknown.
• 14:15
  You are capable of handling whatever comes your way, so
• 14:21
  trust in yourself. And next, Dick steps forward,
• 14:38
  cheerful, resourceful and playful.
• 14:41
  His energy reminds you that even in the face of challenges, there
• 14:47
  is joy to be found, clever solutions to uncover, and
• 14:53
  laughter to lighten the load. He whispers.
• 14:58
  Remember, every risk can lead to unexpected joy and growth.
• 15:13
  And then comes George, standing tall and defiant.
• 15:19
  George's rebellious spirit encourages you to break free
• 15:23
  from the limitations of fear or hesitation.
• 15:27
  And she says true adventure begins when you embrace your
• 15:33
  wild side. So be bold and let your
• 15:37
  instincts guide you. Anne approaches gently, offering
• 15:49
  warmth and compassion. And Anne represents your
• 15:53
  nurturing side, the part of you that cares deeply, creates
• 15:59
  comfort and ensures balance. And she smiles and says, I am
• 16:10
  here to ground you, to remind you that care and kindness are
• 16:15
  your foundation. And while adventure calls, I
• 16:21
  will keep you steady. And finally, Timmy the dog, your
• 16:30
  protector, appears by your side, and his loyal presence assures
• 16:36
  you that you were never alone, and he conveys this through his
• 16:41
  steady gaze. Whatever path you choose, I'm
• 16:46
  here to guide and guard you. And maybe you identify with some
• 16:56
  of these archetypes and characters more than others, but
• 17:00
  they all exist within you. So embrace them as they form a
• 17:07
  powerful team. Your team equipped to embrace
• 17:13
  the unpredictable, to navigate challenges and find joy in the
• 17:19
  journey. As you begin to accept all of
• 17:31
  these parts of yourself, you begin to imagine a future filled
• 17:37
  with adventure and fulfilment. See yourself standing in nature,
• 17:49
  perhaps rolling hills and countryside, perhaps perhaps
• 17:57
  somewhere distant, a different town, a different part of the
• 18:02
  world. Allow your imagination to take
• 18:06
  you somewhere that represents far away from your comfort zone,
• 18:15
  and maybe you could imagine yourself by the edge of a serene
• 18:20
  sanctuary, maybe a sanctuary that you've created.
• 18:26
  And maybe see yourself surrounded by animals, creatures
• 18:33
  that rely on your care, your courage, your willingness to
• 18:36
  take risks to create this haven. And a penny drops where you
• 18:49
  realise that your nurturing side can only flourish if your
• 18:56
  adventurous side takes bold steps and real risks.
• 19:09
  That version of you that can climb mountains, cross rivers
• 19:12
  and make decisions that feel uncertain, knowing that growth
• 19:18
  comes from action, not guarantees.
• 19:23
  So each time you leap into the unknown and dive into the
• 19:27
  mysteries, you feel stronger, more capable, and more alive in
• 19:37
  this future. You embrace a simple principle
• 19:44
  that you either win or you learn, and the only way to lose
• 19:49
  is to stay still and do nothing. So imagine that voice of Julian,
• 19:57
  this time within you, saying the thrill of adventure.
• 20:03
  Lies in its unpredictability, and that's exactly what makes it
• 20:09
  so worthwhile. And so you smile at the
• 20:17
  uncertainty, the challenges, and even the occasional failures
• 20:23
  because you know deep within, they are all part of the grand
• 20:30
  adventure called life. So now step towards that future
• 20:48
  and imagine no longer seeing yourself, but being there in
• 20:52
  that future, thriving in the midst of unpredictable
• 20:58
  variables. And maybe find joy in solving
• 21:03
  problems, in navigating mysteries, and in taking risks
• 21:08
  that lead to extraordinary experiences.
• 21:13
  Each challenge only strengthens your resourcefulness and makes
• 21:21
  your resolve unbreakable. To imagine building a sanctuary
• 21:29
  for life, not just for animals in nature, but for your own
• 21:34
  adventurous spirit. The unpredictability of the
• 21:39
  animals, the weather, the terrain is what makes it so
• 21:44
  appealing. But it is here that the
• 21:48
  nurturing side of you finds purpose.
• 21:52
  You've been trying to leave that nurturing part behind, but what
• 21:57
  if the adventurous part enables you to be more nurturing than
• 22:01
  ever before? Version of you that will feel
• 22:07
  deeply fulfilled because you took risks and unleashed that
• 22:15
  adventurous side that's been waiting within?
• 22:23
  What if the deep fulfilment comes from knowing that your
• 22:27
  courageous actions create beauty, safety and meaning for
• 22:33
  others? And maybe you now realise the
• 22:39
  true adventure lies in not knowing what will happen next
• 22:45
  and really appreciating, even loving, that it is this
• 22:50
  unpredictability that makes life rich and rewarding.
• 22:56
  And as you look back at your past, you know that to be true.
• 23:00
  Your biggest adventures are where you took a risk and made a
• 23:04
  decision. So now take a moment to thank
• 23:16
  these archetypes within you. Not characters in a book, parts
• 23:22
  of you, but thank them for their guidance.
• 23:26
  And as you do, feel the merge into your being, being more
• 23:31
  prominent that all of these, no matter their personality, all
• 23:38
  crave adventure and feel them becoming a seamless part of who
• 23:43
  you are. Julian's courage, Dick's
• 23:47
  resourcefulness, George's boldness and nurturing, and
• 23:54
  Timmy's protection are all within you, ready to support
• 23:59
  your every step. Feel the reintegration
• 24:07
  happening, that you are unleashing a new adventurous
• 24:15
  spirit with unshakeable belief that whatever happens, you'll be
• 24:23
  fine. Get a glimpse of that future and
• 24:30
  all the different futures. Travel, new friendships,
• 24:36
  relationships, new hobbies, new things to learn, new places to
• 24:42
  live. Imagine it all and know that
• 24:46
  it's just a decision and an action away.
• 25:00
  So it's time to bring back to the present the here and now,
• 25:06
  that adventurous team within becoming a dominant part of your
• 25:12
  new awakened personality. So take a deep breath in through
• 25:17
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 25:22
  Wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
• 25:25
  Start to calibrate into the here and now as I now count from 1:00
• 25:28
  to 10:00 to awaken you. You will awaken realising that
• 25:33
  all of these ideas are just that, ideas within ideas,
• 25:39
  thoughts within thoughts, even dreams within dreams.
• 25:43
  And now it's time to awaken the adventurous.
• 25:47
  You starting to count. 123 waking up. 456 more alert. 7-8
• 25:55
  open your eyes, open your eyes. 910 wide awake, wide awake, wide
• 26:01
  awake. Thank you for listening to The
