  issues. Brought to you by the

  These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's

  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

• 0:41
  Hi, it's Adam here. And in this episode of The
• 0:44
  Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a hypnosis session
• 0:48
  that is all about inner peace. And I was working with a client
• 0:52
  that felt that a lot of things that would happen in their life
• 0:56
  would make them feel either unsafe or triggered in some way.
• 1:00
  And their belief was that they didn't have enough of that inner
• 1:04
  peace to be resilient enough to those things.
• 1:08
  So actually what you're going to hear in this hypnosis session
• 1:11
  are two different metaphors. A metaphor to represent inner
• 1:15
  peace, which is going from a pond to a reservoir.
• 1:19
  A metaphor for accessing resources, which is a well that
• 1:23
  kind of goes down and brings back whatever appropriate
• 1:26
  resource is going to be useful. There is an element of the
• 1:30
  natural neuroplasticity that happens when you replay
• 1:34
  something in your mind, But if you do it in a particular way,
• 1:37
  that can actually increase the feeling of optionality, but also
• 1:42
  a belief that you can do things differently.
• 1:46
  And also utilizing curiosity as a way to change previously held
• 1:53
  beliefs, associations, or evaluations that are just not
• 1:57
  productive. And I think a lot of people in
• 1:59
  life experience false positives. A false positive anxiety is
• 2:03
  worrying about this bad thing that's going to happen and then
• 2:05
  it never happens. In this case, the client was
• 2:10
  feeling affected by feeling unsafe in certain situations,
• 2:14
  even though nothing unsafe actually happened.
• 2:17
  And that tells us that the threshold is too low.
• 2:21
  Too many things are triggering the alarm when they don't need
• 2:24
  to, and therefore we need to increase the threshold.
• 2:28
  And all of these things are taking place in this particular
• 2:30
  session. In order to get the best of this
• 2:34
  session, I would encourage you to find a nice, comfortable
• 2:36
  place. But if you are interested in
• 2:38
  working with me directly or accessing some of the free
• 2:42
  resources that I have, just check out the description of the
• 2:44
  show notes first before listening to this session.
• 2:46
  And then you can do that. And when it comes to listening
• 2:49
  to the session, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
• 2:51
  won't be disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 4:12
  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in that
• 4:19
  resourceful feeling of calm and relaxation.
• 4:24
  And as you exhale, just make yourself comfortable and allow
• 4:28
  your eyelids to close. That's in.
• 4:33
  And as your eyes closed, notice how much easier it is to focus
• 4:39
  on the sound of my voice, breathing in that relaxation and
• 4:46
  exhaling that tension. Each breath taking you deeper
• 4:50
  and deeper to that place where you've been many times before.
• 4:56
  A place where windows open within your mind to create
• 5:00
  wonderful positive changes. Changes that give you more of
• 5:05
  what you want and less of what you don't.
• 5:11
  So as you find yourself in that comfortable position, take
• 5:15
  another slow, easy breath in and allow it to be released gently
• 5:23
  and noticing just with each and every breath.
• 5:27
  You're giving permission to your body, your mind, and your
• 5:30
  emotions to just let go. And perhaps your body already
• 5:37
  knows how to settle to that place, how to find the position
• 5:44
  that feels just right. And as your body settles, your
• 5:49
  mind can begin to follow, slowing down just like a leaf
• 5:56
  drifting onto Stillwater. And with every exhale, you can
• 6:02
  imagine a little more stillness spreading through you.
• 6:09
  And I want you to think of a place in nature with a huge
• 6:15
  lake, maybe in Austria, maybe somewhere else, maybe surrounded
• 6:21
  by trees or mountains or hills. And when you can think of that
• 6:27
  place, just let me know by nodding your head.
• 6:31
  And as you stare out onto the surface of the lake, I want you
• 6:36
  to evaluate any sensations in your body, from the crown of
• 6:43
  your head down to your toes. Just feel as if each breath is a
• 6:50
  ripple fading on a quiet pond, releasing tension with every
• 6:56
  outward breath. And I want you to imagine
• 7:03
  somewhere near that lake is indeed a shallow pond.
• 7:11
  And it becomes humorous because the shallow pond is so small and
• 7:16
  the lake is so large, the contrast almost becomes absurd
• 7:23
  at the difference between this small pond.
• 7:28
  And I want you to imagine looking at that shallow pond.
• 7:31
  Perhaps it's a hot day. See the water rippling in the
• 7:35
  wind and how small waves are stirred by the slightest
• 7:40
  movement. If you were to even dip a finger
• 7:45
  into that small, shallow pond, every part of the surface would
• 7:52
  be affected. And perhaps you could imagine
• 7:56
  that pond inside you representing times in your life
• 8:01
  where inner peace has felt shallow, that perhaps even small
• 8:09
  situations, a minor disturbance, could really affect your mood,
• 8:17
  your feelings, your inner peace, perhaps for an hour or even
• 8:22
  more. But I want you to get a sense
• 8:27
  that today we're creating a new thought.
• 8:33
  I want you to get a sense of what if that small pond is just
• 8:42
  a representation based on you not accessing all of the
• 8:47
  resources available to you. And I want you to imagine almost
• 8:54
  like you can teleport the pond into that lake.
• 9:00
  And I want you to imagine the lake has so much water.
• 9:03
  It also provides water to nearby cities and towns.
• 9:09
  It has so much that it can give to others and still never run
• 9:14
  dry. And I want you to imagine that
• 9:19
  feeling of abundance, that almost no water is turning into
• 9:28
  millions of gallons, and each gallon of water represents the
• 9:33
  inner peace within you. I want you to get a sense then
• 9:40
  you now have that huge lake, that reservoir of inner peace.
• 9:48
  I want you to get a sense that knowing you have all of that
• 9:52
  inner peace, isn't it the case that it would take more for you
• 9:58
  to feel unsettled? And that doesn't mean that a
• 10:03
  lake can't be disturbed. But a Pebble can't disturb the
• 10:09
  lake. Even a boat going across the
• 10:12
  surface can't disturb it. It would take a major storm to
• 10:19
  disrupt or unsettle that huge lake, that reservoir to nearby
• 10:24
  cities. And I want you to get a sense
• 10:27
  that that feels right. I want you to get a sense that
• 10:32
  small things shouldn't bother you and big things should,
• 10:38
  because if you are in a situation where you are
• 10:41
  genuinely unsafe, you would want your inner peace to be disrupted
• 10:47
  so that you do whatever it takes to feel safe again.
• 10:52
  The only thing to avoid is having those minor things affect
• 10:58
  and disrupt your overall inner peace.
• 11:04
  So I want you to feel that that shallow pond has now become a
• 11:09
  vast deep reservoir of peace. And the deeper it becomes, just
• 11:16
  by the laws of physics and nature, the harder it is for any
• 11:21
  surface ripples to disturb it. On the surface a breeze might
• 11:27
  pass, but deep below it remains calm, still and unwavering.
• 11:38
  And then just imagine an old fashioned well next to that
• 11:44
  lake. It might be that hundreds of
• 11:48
  years ago there were no pipes to take water from the lake to the
• 11:52
  cities, and perhaps local villagers would walk to the well
• 12:01
  and have the bucket go down on a rope, pick up the water and take
• 12:06
  it back. I want you to get a sense that
• 12:11
  in the past your well was dry, or at least very shallow, but I
• 12:17
  want you to feel that that well now is abundantly full.
• 12:24
  But this well doesn't just represent inner peace, it
• 12:28
  represents any resources that you may need.
• 12:35
  And you are free to dip into that well whenever you choose.
• 12:40
  If something feels like it's changed, you might dip into that
• 12:45
  well and bring back adaptability.
• 12:50
  Or you might dip into the well and bring creativity to help
• 12:55
  solve a problem, or resilience, or fortitude, or confidence, or
• 13:04
  a sense of calm. I want you to get a sense that
• 13:07
  this well is a well that has access to every resource that
• 13:13
  you've ever experienced, if you've experienced it even once.
• 13:19
  Let's say courage. You could bring back courage
• 13:26
  from your past into your present and deploy it whenever it is
• 13:31
  useful. And I want you to feel the
• 13:36
  combination of this large lake and this well of
• 13:41
  resourcefulness. Something else begins to shift,
• 13:47
  and perhaps that's the way your mind decides what feels unsafe.
• 13:54
  In the past, there may have been moments where something small,
• 14:00
  something insignificant triggered that alarm inside you.
• 14:05
  An alert that said you're not safe, even though later you
• 14:12
  realise that nothing dangerous and no risks were ever really
• 14:17
  there. But from this point forward,
• 14:22
  your inner mind begins to raise that threshold, like adjusting A
• 14:27
  finely tuned instrument. So now it only plays its warning
• 14:33
  note when there is real danger, the equivalent of a storm above
• 14:40
  the lake. Every other time it simply
• 14:44
  remains calm, watchful, and at peace.
• 14:50
  And notice where in your body that peace feels like it exists.
• 14:54
  If you were to have that reservoir, that lake within you,
• 15:00
  maybe your chest, your guard, or somewhere else, just get a
• 15:03
  feeling of where it exists and feel it's so much larger and
• 15:09
  deeper and more abundant than it ever was before.
• 15:14
  And if there ever is a moment where you do feel that flicker
• 15:20
  of unsafety, you can pause and imagine something powerful.
• 15:27
  You can use the power of your mind to rewind it and imagine
• 15:33
  how you would handle this same situation with all of the
• 15:37
  resources that you would need from the well and all of the
• 15:41
  inner peace from that lake. And you can picture that version
• 15:46
  of you, calm, grounded, prepared, acting with
• 15:51
  confidence, thinking clearly and responding wisely.
• 15:57
  Because that's why we replay things in our mind anyway.
• 16:02
  It isn't to change the past, it's to influence how we feel in
• 16:06
  a similar situation in the future.
• 16:11
  And the more you do it, the more it will naturally happen all by
• 16:14
  itself. And each time you do this,
• 16:17
  consciously or unconsciously, your brain rewires, making it
• 16:23
  easier to feel the same resourcefulness automatically
• 16:29
  the very next time something similar happens.
• 16:34
  And I want you to think of the tone of voice that in a dialogue
• 16:38
  would have if it was really curious.
• 16:45
  I want you to get a feeling that what if that moment when that
• 16:51
  feeling of unsafety appears, instead of tension, you feel
• 16:59
  curious. Imagine bringing up curiosity
• 17:04
  from your well now, and that curiosity might ask, what am I
• 17:11
  assuming here? What must I believe in order to
• 17:16
  feel this way? What else could this mean?
• 17:23
  And if something isn't useful, maybe that same curiosity says
• 17:30
  what would be a more useful belief, evaluation, or
• 17:35
  association in this moment, and allow that curiosity also to
• 17:41
  rewire. And as you question, you begin
• 17:46
  to replace the old pattern with something far more helpful, more
• 17:52
  empowering, more in line with the calm, deep lake of peace
• 17:58
  within you. So let's try this out, just
• 18:02
  within your imagination. Think of something recently that
• 18:07
  made you feel unsafe, but imagine it happening 3 or 4
• 18:11
  weeks in the future. Imagine that version of you in
• 18:16
  that same situation that once would have triggered that
• 18:18
  unease. Now watch as you see that
• 18:22
  version of you handling it differently, with more
• 18:26
  composure, more calmness, more confidence, perhaps even a
• 18:31
  fearless look in your eye. And that higher threshold
• 18:36
  filtering only what matters. Because you don't feel safe.
• 18:42
  Only when the threshold has been surpassed.
• 18:46
  You now do feel safe whenever the threshold is not met and
• 18:52
  most things won't meet your threshold.
• 18:55
  So see that version of you feeling confident and calm,
• 18:59
  completely at ease, and allow that curiosity to guide your
• 19:04
  thoughts because there might be even more room for improvement.
• 19:10
  See yourself looking resourceful and handling whatever the
• 19:14
  situation is in a confident way without the need of conflict and
• 19:21
  seeing that version of you immune from whatever the
• 19:25
  response is of someone else. Whether they agree or don't
• 19:30
  agree with your words is immaterial.
• 19:33
  You did what you needed to do to help move a situation forward.
• 19:39
  And then step into that future version of you, feeling
• 19:42
  empowered, resourceful, with that deep reservoir of inner
• 19:47
  peace. And notice the difference in how
• 19:50
  you feel and get a sense that this feels like it will become
• 19:55
  your default pattern. That rather than things making
• 19:59
  you feel unsafe, you will assume safety unless there is
• 20:04
  irrefutable evidence that you are unsafe, and only then you
• 20:09
  will handle it differently. I want you to connect with this
• 20:14
  new way of being. You just get a sense that
• 20:20
  certain things are now working with you.
• 20:24
  I want you to get a sense that that shallow pond of inner peace
• 20:28
  is now a deep lake. You have access to a well that
• 20:32
  you can recall any resource whenever you need it.
• 20:36
  You have the ability to replay things that do make you feel
• 20:40
  unsafe until they no longer do that anymore.
• 20:45
  And you have the ability of using curiosity to challenge any
• 20:49
  underlying belief systems, associations, or evaluations to
• 20:54
  now give you the ability to think things differently as you
• 21:01
  connect. With all of these changes, it's
• 21:04
  time to leave that lake and return to the presence.
• 21:06
  To take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 21:10
  nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
• 21:13
  wiggle your toes. Connect and calibrate into the
• 21:15
  here and the now. That's it.
• 21:18
  As I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you, it's
• 21:23
  starting to count. 123 waking up. 456 more alert. 7-8 open
• 21:30
  your eyes. Open your eyes. 910.
• 21:33
  Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake.
• 23:08
  Yeah. The.
• 25:58
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 27:00
  The. None.
• 30:00
  None. None.
• 31:30
  Yeah. Yeah.
