  Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside
• 0:03
  access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing genuine
• 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.
• 0:41
  Hi, it's Adam here. And in this hypnosis session,
• 0:44
  you're going to be listening to a hypnosis session all about
• 0:48
  food and compulsions with food. And I was working with a client
• 0:54
  that had certain foods that they associated with their past and
• 0:58
  they were linking it to things like freedom and support and
• 1:01
  connection and in their mind certain.
• 1:05
  Foods like cheese. Meant freedom.
• 1:08
  Now obviously that's not true, but if the meaning is closely
• 1:12
  associated to a food that it can feel that way in the same way
• 1:16
  that some people might associate alcohol with.
• 1:19
  Fun or? Smoking with relaxation, people
• 1:22
  can certainly link certain feelings with food and that can
• 1:24
  create these compulsions. So in this particular hypnosis
• 1:28
  session, there is a metaphor. Levels of.
• 1:31
  Disassociation that use a forest.
• 1:34
  They start to disassociate from the old meanings and to
• 1:37
  introduce new meanings. Or.
• 1:39
  Alternatives that are linked to the same meanings to give them
• 1:43
  more choice. And.
• 1:44
  Freedom. So for this particular client,
• 1:47
  it was things like wine and cheese and things like cakes and
• 1:52
  things like that, that that was their association with positive
• 1:56
  emotions. I want you to think what are
• 1:58
  your foods that you feel like you have strong connections and
• 2:02
  associations to that is leading you to eat more of that thing
• 2:06
  that perhaps isn't quite so good for your health.
• 2:09
  And then by thinking about that when you listen to things like
• 2:11
  cheese and wine in this recording, you can just mentally
• 2:15
  replace them with whatever the. Equivalent is.
• 2:17
  For you and then that way you'll feel more benefit from this
• 2:21
  hypnosis session than if you just listen to what was
• 2:23
  recorded. For that client.
• 2:26
  Obviously it was created for an individual client, so if you do
• 2:28
  like the idea of a bespoke hypnosis session, I'm going to
• 2:33
  put 2 links connected to the description.
• 2:37
  One is for you to take a suitability test and this is a
• 2:40
  62nd test just for you to figure out if hypnotherapy is a
• 2:45
  suitable thing for you. And there'll also be a link for
• 2:48
  you to book a free consultation call.
• 2:50
  So if that appeals to you. Check out the links in the
• 2:53
  descripcion. For now though, find a quiet,
• 2:55
  comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
• 2:58
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 3:54
  you breathe in, breathe in that slow, long, relaxing breath and
• 4:05
  as you exhale, feel a wonderful sense of release, as if any
• 4:13
  tension, stress and worries is being released in every outward
• 4:20
  breath, almost like a release valve.
• 4:29
  Sometimes people hold on to emotions, they build up, and I
• 4:37
  want you to get a sense that now is the time to release them.
• 4:45
  As you breathe in that feeling of resourceful relaxation and
• 4:52
  exhale any tension, any stress, any worries.
• 5:00
  So much so that each breath takes you deeper and deeper.
• 5:11
  Relaxed now. And the deeper you breathe, the
• 5:27
  more relaxed you become. And the more relaxed you become,
• 5:35
  the deeper you breathe with every breath.
• 5:45
  Imagine breathing in clarity and just breathing out any tension,
• 5:53
  any frustrations as you allow your body to settle, settling
• 6:07
  into that warm, natural, comfortable place.
• 6:17
  As your body relaxes, your imagination is elevated, and I
• 6:25
  wonder if you could imagine a forest clearing.
• 6:33
  Blue skies and sunshine above the forest.
• 6:37
  But you're in the forest, seeing the sunshine like a beam of
• 6:44
  light into the clearing. And every now and then you see
• 6:53
  you see those beams of light, you're finding gaps in the
• 6:57
  canopy above. And maybe you could imagine the
• 7:08
  sound of a breeze or even birdsong enhancing this
• 7:13
  experience within your imagination.
• 7:23
  I want you to get a sense that for some reason here in this
• 7:31
  forest, you feel slightly uncomfortable, perhaps even
• 7:40
  hungry. But I want you to imagine there,
• 7:48
  perhaps near the clearing or deeper in the forest.
• 7:54
  I wonder if you could imagine seeing a wild Berry Bush, fresh,
• 8:01
  abundant, bursting with a particular fruit, a particular
• 8:07
  Berry. Or maybe this Berry Bush,
• 8:15
  because it's in your imagination, offers you every
• 8:22
  different variety of Berry. And as you reach out to pick a
• 8:28
  Berry, I wonder if you can notice the colours, the texture
• 8:43
  as you bring it up towards your mouth.
• 8:46
  Notice the size, Imagine the density or pressure of the
• 8:58
  berries. You give it a squeeze and then
• 9:02
  imagine tasting 1. Maybe you could imagine an
• 9:10
  explosion of taste as your teeth burst open the Berry.
• 9:21
  And as you taste it, imagine how good it would feel to feel that
• 9:28
  you're tasting the very essence of freedom, something grown by
• 9:36
  nature, unprocessed, perhaps what your body recognizes as
• 9:46
  good, nourishing and pure. And as you breathe slower and
• 9:59
  deeper now, your unconscious mind can begin to remember what
• 10:08
  true support feels like, not just in food, but in choices, in
• 10:21
  discernment, entrusting yourself to choose, not react.
• 10:30
  A compulsion, a craving, doesn't force you to do anything, just
• 10:41
  information. Because the choice is yours and
• 10:48
  yours alone. And as you wander deeper into
• 10:55
  the forest, now imagine noticing something, something about
• 11:03
  yourself. You are not a tourist or a
• 11:08
  visitor in this forest. You are a forager, a seeker of
• 11:18
  nourishment, wisdom and clarity, where every step you take is a
• 11:31
  decision. You can walk past some things
• 11:38
  and choose others. Perhaps you have a basket or a
• 11:45
  bag, and when something catches your eye, something that looks
• 11:50
  appealing, imagine picking or plucking, foraging for that
• 11:59
  food, placing it into that bag or that basket, realizing that
• 12:08
  you don't need everything, you don't even want everything.
• 12:16
  You just choose what supports you, what connects you, and what
• 12:22
  frees you, just like in life, because you don't need to
• 12:30
  consume something just because it's there.
• 12:39
  Locate somewhere within your body where you feel the resource
• 12:45
  of discernment, that place that knows the difference between an
• 12:52
  impulse and intuition. That distinction, that
• 13:00
  difference, gives you power. In the same way that you can
• 13:07
  distinguish between a meaning and an association, you can also
• 13:20
  create the distinction between a compulsion and a mindful choice.
• 13:35
  Imagine going deeper into the forest now, and imagine
• 13:41
  discovering something strange in the forest.
• 13:45
  Imagine there, deep in the forest, a long wooden table.
• 13:55
  And on that table are items linked to your past.
• 14:06
  Maybe what you're seeing on the table is something that you can
• 14:14
  remember from your childhood glass of sparkling wine, or the
• 14:26
  kind of wine that people used to drink in your hometown under a
• 14:32
  tree. A particular variety of cheese.
• 14:43
  Maybe it's a plate of smoked meats, all different varieties.
• 14:53
  Or perhaps a slice of cheesecake.
• 14:59
  Each one has a connection and association.
• 15:09
  Maybe they also hold an emotion. But as you look closer, you
• 15:18
  realize the story is not the food.
• 15:25
  The story is you. Wine isn't connection.
• 15:34
  Connection is your attention. Noticing smells, tastes and
• 15:40
  sounds and cheese isn't freedom. Choices are freedom and these
• 15:55
  foods that used to feel like support.
• 16:01
  What if other foods would support your health and your
• 16:09
  identity much better? So now, when you see those items
• 16:16
  on that long wooden table, you can thank them for their role in
• 16:24
  your past, in your journey. You can honor the memories.
• 16:32
  But it is now time to reclaim the meanings.
• 16:40
  The meanings are what you give to them.
• 16:49
  And just because there was an association, it doesn't mean
• 16:55
  that that food or drink means that it was just a link.
• 17:02
  And links can change and you no longer need to consume the past
• 17:11
  to feel whole in the present. It's time to create new
• 17:17
  associations, stronger ones, wiser ones, intentional ones.
• 17:36
  Move those old foods to one end of the table, and then decide to
• 17:44
  manifest new foods on the same table.
• 17:51
  Imagine the foods that represent a future of more connection,
• 17:57
  more support, more freedom. And perhaps you could imagine a
• 18:07
  bowl of wild berries, Vibrant, nourishing, nutritious.
• 18:18
  Or perhaps a fillet of salmon in exactly the way that makes it
• 18:25
  most desirable. Maybe that would support your
• 18:31
  future better than those old foods of the past.
• 18:42
  Perhaps you could manage some spinach next to the salmon, and
• 18:49
  your intuition lets you know eating food like that will
• 18:54
  support you in the present and the future.
• 19:03
  I want you to see that spinach, the particular shade of green,
• 19:13
  and maybe there's things connected to it.
• 19:17
  A dressing of oil, Crystals of salt.
• 19:25
  Maybe somewhere on that table are foraged foods like
• 19:31
  mushrooms, Fruits picked from trees.
• 19:41
  What if these new foods aren't just nutritious?
• 19:48
  What if these are messengers, resources that whenever you eat
• 19:58
  these foods, they make you feel freer, more connected, more
• 20:08
  supported, and the moment you decide it's true, then those old
• 20:20
  foods simply lose their appeal because it was never about the
• 20:25
  food. What you were seeking was the
• 20:30
  meaning linked to them, and the moment that same meaning has a
• 20:38
  stronger connection to different foods, those new foods, healthy,
• 20:46
  nutritious, fresh and natural, become the more appealing for
• 20:53
  you. I want you to get a sense that
• 21:04
  you're already feeling freer, more connected, but more
• 21:08
  mindful, and it's time to start eating some of these foraged or
• 21:15
  found or fresh foods. Every bite of these foods
• 21:22
  reinforces your ability to choose wisely, and every time
• 21:28
  you prepare them, you are reminded there is no obligation.
• 21:36
  This is a choice. You are choosing to enjoy and
• 21:39
  experience these foods mindfully.
• 21:51
  And even if these foods were cooked, there is no obligation
• 21:57
  to eat more than you desire. You eat what you desire then in
• 22:05
  the moment, and any excess can either be saved for later or
• 22:15
  thrown away. It is not wasted if you choose
• 22:23
  to throw it away. That is discernment.
• 22:30
  High standards. You are the guardian as to what
• 22:37
  food passes your lips and if you don't want it, you don't have
• 22:45
  it. Your fridge is not a graveyard.
• 22:53
  There's a pause button. Fresh food, refrigerated and
• 23:01
  sealed, can preserve all of that time, energy and emotion to
• 23:10
  create the meal and deploy it for later.
• 23:16
  Because some of the healthiest people on the planet, athletes
• 23:26
  prepare their food before they eat it.
• 23:30
  Sometimes it's kept in those plastic containers and sometimes
• 23:37
  it's frozen. That is their choice.
• 23:43
  That is their freedom to capture nutrients and deploy them for
• 23:48
  later. Let's imagine taking all of
• 23:54
  these changes, leaving the forest and going to a place in
• 24:00
  your future. And I want you to imagine a big
• 24:07
  banquet, a celebration, and at that celebration, delicious
• 24:18
  cheeses, smoked meats, fine wines.
• 24:28
  But I want you to get a sense that these are options, not
• 24:34
  obligations. And instead of pressure, you
• 24:40
  feel ease because you know how to choose.
• 24:50
  And you can choose to eat any of these foods.
• 24:54
  Or maybe you prefer that salmon, that spinach, that fruit, that
• 25:03
  vegetable the moment you have to do something.
• 25:15
  You lose your. Freedom.
• 25:19
  You get to choose what you eat, when you eat it, and how you eat
• 25:27
  it. But when your choices align with
• 25:33
  your values, then you are eating mindfully in an empowered way.
• 25:46
  You are enhancing your life now and in the future.
• 25:55
  Feel that sense of freedom to choose what you want in the
• 25:59
  banquet. And with every choice, you're
• 26:03
  writing a new story, creating new meanings, new connections.
• 26:10
  But notice the feeling of freedom and connection.
• 26:16
  It's time to leave this banquet. But you leave the banquet
• 26:22
  feeling empowered with a desire to mindfully eat.
• 26:29
  Mindfully eating is eating in a truly connected way.
• 26:38
  And if you're going to mindfully eat anything, why not mindfully
• 26:45
  eat those foods that have powerful, strong, positive
• 26:50
  connotations? It's time to leave this banquet.
• 26:57
  Find yourself back in the forest and then decide to leave the
• 27:01
  forest, returning all the way back to the here and the now.
• 27:10
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 27:16
  nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
• 27:19
  wiggle your toes. Connect and calibrate into the
• 27:21
  here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you
• 27:31
  Starting to count 123 waking up 456 more alert 78910 wide awake,
• 27:42
  wide awake, wide awake. Thank you for listening to The
