• 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.
• 0:40
  Hi, it's Adam here. And in this episode of The
• 0:43
  Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a hypnosis session
• 0:47
  that was created for an aspiring film maker.
• 0:51
  And they were currently at film school and had big ambitious
• 0:56
  plans, but couldn't quite connect with the feelings of
• 1:02
  passion and focus that they felt might be useful and helpful to
• 1:06
  make that career a success. So I do something.
• 1:10
  A little bit. Different in this session and
• 1:12
  and one of the things that I I love talking about and I love
• 1:15
  doing in hypnosis is playing with time at the Irish
• 1:20
  hypnotherapy conference. I'm going to be talking about
• 1:22
  hypnosis in the 4th dimension and in the three-dimensional
• 1:26
  reality that we live in, time is linear and only moves forward
• 1:30
  but in the 4th dimension time can have multiple directions.
• 1:36
  It's more of. A fluid.
• 1:38
  Kind of fabric. It's something you can navigate.
• 1:41
  So in this hypnosis session, I actually took inspiration
• 1:45
  because we were talking about movies of two of my favorite
• 1:49
  movies where the actual storyline, the story is told
• 1:52
  backwards from the end to the beginning.
• 1:55
  And one of those is a movie called Memento.
• 1:59
  So if you know Chris Nolan from movies like Inception and The
• 2:02
  Dark Knight, that was one of his early feature films and also a
• 2:06
  film called. Irreversible.
• 2:07
  Which is a French film, but again the story is told
• 2:09
  backwards. So effectively that becomes the
• 2:12
  inspiration for this client where we go 10 years in the
• 2:15
  future and imagine the most incredible outcome for their.
• 2:22
  Career which would. Be winning the palm door so.
• 2:25
  The best? Picture of the Cannes Film
• 2:27
  Festival and then working backwards and thinking what
• 2:30
  would have had to have taken place in order for that outcome
• 2:35
  to have happened. So it's kind of manipulating
• 2:38
  time, it's reversing time so that they get to create the
• 2:42
  stepping stones to this. Incredible future.
• 2:45
  By having a clear idea of what they want and what it's going to
• 2:48
  take to do that. And a lot of people, they don't
• 2:52
  even try. They don't even attempt to have
• 2:54
  that magnificent life. And therefore, they end up with
• 2:58
  this very mediocre life because they didn't do the things to
• 3:01
  create their magnificent life and even give it a chance.
• 3:04
  So that's really the essence of this.
• 3:07
  It's probably unlikely that you are an aspiring filmmaker at
• 3:11
  film school listening to this podcast.
• 3:14
  But the essence of it is to think of the dream life for you
• 3:18
  10 years from now and then work backwards and think what would
• 3:22
  it take to achieve that? Now, this hypnosis session may
• 3:25
  help. You can just ignore the film
• 3:28
  references and think of what you would want 10 years and then
• 3:31
  nine years and then eight years and work backwards to now.
• 3:34
  Or you can just take it as inspiration and go off and do
• 3:37
  some self hypnosis based on the same structure.
• 3:40
  Or if you like the idea of this and want a bespoke customized
• 3:43
  session, there will be a link in the show notes where you can
• 3:46
  schedule a 30 minute call with me.
• 3:48
  Or you can sponsor an episode and, and I can, you can send me
• 3:51
  all the notes of the future that you want and I can just record
• 3:53
  it. I prefer doing my sessions in
• 3:56
  person. So actually kind of, you know,
• 3:58
  linking up and the, and the hypnosis is live so I can
• 4:00
  calibrate that to you. But some people just send me
• 4:03
  notes and I, I create a recording around that.
• 4:05
  So if any of those outcomes feels interesting for you, click
• 4:09
  the link in the show note, schedule that consultation call
• 4:11
  and we'll have a chat about what could be right for you.
• 4:14
  In the meantime, though, we've got the session here that you
• 4:16
  might find interesting or inspiring in some way about the
• 4:20
  kind of ideal future you would want over the next 10 years.
• 4:23
  In which case, find a quite comfortable place where you
• 4:26
  won't be disturbed, relax and enjoy the session.
• 5:05
  Take a deep breath in and as you breathe in, breathe in a feeling
• 5:13
  of calm relaxation. And as you exhale, just feel a
• 5:21
  sense of relaxation and release as tension starts to feel like
• 5:27
  it's leaving your body in your outward breath, enabling you to
• 5:33
  feel like you're drifting off to a place of calm relaxation.
• 5:42
  And as you breathe in and breathe out, just allow your
• 5:47
  eyelids to relax even more and notice.
• 5:53
  With your eyes closed, you're able to give more of your
• 5:59
  attention to the sound of my voice while simultaneously
• 6:06
  allowing you to notice more of what you're able to notice with
• 6:15
  internal senses. Some people believe that every
• 6:20
  external sense has an equivalent on the inside.
• 6:29
  You see the world but also have a mind's eye.
• 6:35
  You can hear things but also have an inner dialogue.
• 6:42
  I want you to get a sense that as you breathe in and breathe
• 6:46
  out, you are turning up the dial of that sensory acuity to notice
• 6:55
  more of those internal senses. And let's start training your
• 7:07
  brain to notice this so that as you breathe in and breathe out,
• 7:14
  I wonder if you could imagine a promenade in the South of
• 7:21
  France, the kind of promenade that is parallel to a beach and
• 7:28
  the sea with a row of palm trees.
• 7:35
  And just imagine walking down that promenade because it's a
• 7:40
  sunny day, a sunny day in May. You feel it would be only the
• 7:49
  right thing to do to just relax on that beach, a beach in
• 7:57
  Cairns. So just imagine a big soft
• 8:03
  blanket there on the golden sands.
• 8:08
  Maybe you can hear the gentle breaking of the waves, feel the
• 8:13
  Mediterranean sun on your skin, and just feel that you're able
• 8:19
  to deeply relax there on that beach, a beach in May, and just
• 8:31
  imagine you're not there as you are.
• 8:36
  I want you to imagine being there 10 years in your future,
• 8:42
  and I want you to imagine there is clues.
• 8:51
  There is clues that you are older.
• 8:57
  Maybe you could imagine seeing a reflection in a pair of
• 9:01
  sunglasses, or just notice subtle differences in your body
• 9:07
  shape that let you know that this is a future version of you
• 9:16
  about 10 years from now. On a beach in Cairns in May and
• 9:26
  position your body on that blanket on the beach to enable
• 9:30
  you to feel so deeply relaxed. As I countdown from 5:00 to 1:00
• 9:36
  and with each descending number, you'll get a sense of feeling so
• 9:42
  deeply relaxed that you could imagine drifting off into a
• 9:46
  dreamlike sleep. Five, breathing in that
• 9:52
  relaxation, exhaling tension and just releasing any tension
• 9:58
  around your face, your forehead, your jaw.
• 10:04
  Just feel a wave of relaxation all over your face and head.
• 10:11
  And then four, breathing and relaxation and releasing any
• 10:14
  tension in your neck and your shoulders and feeling that
• 10:18
  relaxation ripple down all the way to your fingertips as you
• 10:25
  imagine how it would feel to be lying on that beach with your
• 10:29
  arms so relaxed it almost feels like the limbs of a puppet with
• 10:34
  no strings, deeply relaxed. And then three, focus on your
• 10:44
  internal organs, your lungs, your heart, your stomach.
• 10:49
  Just feel that all of your internal organs are relaxing all
• 10:53
  at the same time, all the way down into your gut, feeling so
• 10:58
  deeply relaxed there on that blanket on that beach.
• 11:02
  That's it. And then two.
• 11:07
  Now focus down on your legs. Just imagine your legs feel they
• 11:13
  have no energy, they have no tension.
• 11:16
  It almost feels like there is limp and loose as a wet cloth.
• 11:21
  And just imagine that feeling of relaxation where your limbs are
• 11:25
  so relaxed you couldn't stand up if you tried.
• 11:31
  And then one, just feel that wave of relaxation from your
• 11:34
  toes going up your body all the way down to your fingertips,
• 11:38
  right to the top of your head. And then just imagine you're
• 11:42
  drifting off into a dreamlike sleep there on that beach, a
• 11:48
  beach in your future. Imagine your physical body stays
• 11:57
  asleep, but in your dream you could imagine walking on that
• 12:03
  beach and imagine being stopped by someone that has a face like
• 12:11
  they've won a prize. They recognize you.
• 12:16
  They tell you that they are a fan of your work.
• 12:20
  They admire what you create and maybe they ask for a selfie or
• 12:26
  an autograph, something that only someone would do if you and
• 12:31
  your work meant something to them.
• 12:41
  As they say goodbye, you can see they are starstruck and you get
• 12:46
  a sense that you being you, doing what you've done clearly
• 12:51
  has impacted this individual and you have a feeling you've
• 12:56
  impacted many, many more that you will never meet.
• 13:03
  And then flashback to the previous day.
• 13:07
  See yourself in a full length mirror, perhaps wearing a
• 13:10
  tuxedo, black shiny shoes. It occurs to you that you are
• 13:17
  attending a glamorous award ceremony.
• 13:23
  I want you to get a sense that you weren't there alone, you
• 13:27
  were there with people that have worked with you in producing,
• 13:33
  creating a feature film. I want you to imagine how it
• 13:43
  would feel to be arriving at this glamorous ceremony, making
• 13:49
  your way to a table, seeing perhaps directors, actors that
• 13:57
  you deeply respect all around you.
• 14:05
  Perhaps you can imagine the grand jury, or perhaps someone
• 14:12
  in particular from the grand jury, someone well known in the
• 14:17
  film industry, announcing the winner of the Palmdor, and
• 14:27
  imagine your elation when they announced that your film that
• 14:34
  you wrote and directed is the best film at Cannes.
• 14:44
  Feel that first person perspective of that incredible
• 14:49
  sensation of winning something so prestigious.
• 14:54
  Imagine receiving perhaps a physical award, and just imagine
• 15:00
  for a moment what you would say in that speech if you just won
• 15:07
  the Palm Door at Cairns. Maybe you're thanking certain
• 15:23
  people. But just before that speech
• 15:27
  finishes, I want you to flashback in time, being on set,
• 15:35
  making that film. Maybe you're seeing camera crew,
• 15:42
  seeing the set, seeing the location, seeing your actors.
• 15:49
  I want you to feel that you are directing this film and notice
• 15:56
  the qualities that exist within you.
• 15:59
  Perhaps a vision, passion, attention to detail, not leaving
• 16:07
  a scene or a take until you're confident you've got what you've
• 16:12
  needed. Feel how good it feels to be
• 16:18
  doing the work. The kind of work that at one
• 16:24
  point in time you were dreaming, that you could do but feel that
• 16:29
  you're doing it, that you're working on the very filmed and
• 16:34
  in the future wins that palmed. Or imagine being on the final
• 16:42
  day and set when everything is done.
• 16:45
  And now it becomes about the editing, quality control,
• 16:53
  checking them, the sound, the scenes, they all match your
• 16:57
  vision. Perhaps you're getting lost in
• 17:01
  the screen of something where you're seeing your work again
• 17:07
  and again and just get lost in that.
• 17:09
  And flashback to that moment that none of this would have
• 17:15
  been possible if you didn't secure the support of a key
• 17:20
  producer, certain budget available for you to turn your
• 17:25
  vision into a reality. Perhaps you could imagine
• 17:32
  yourself in a modern boardroom, and maybe you have a pitch deck
• 17:41
  or slides or a presentation. Something where you're
• 17:46
  presenting your vision for your movie to the very people that
• 17:52
  have the resources to help you make it happen.
• 18:03
  I want you to notice certain things are useful for you there.
• 18:09
  Maybe it's an idea, a way of communicating it.
• 18:16
  There's something in your tonality, confidence, certainty,
• 18:20
  enthusiasm that seems to engage those producers.
• 18:29
  I want you to feel then, whether it's in that meeting or shortly
• 18:34
  after, there is an important handshake signifying you've
• 18:40
  secured the budget you need to make your movie.
• 18:47
  And I want you to think of a number as you imagined that that
• 18:52
  number is the very budget you've secured to make your movie and
• 19:01
  allow that number to be bigger, a bigger budget than other
• 19:06
  movies that had previously won the Palm Door.
• 19:14
  You can't help but think a thought.
• 19:17
  If others have won such a prestigious award with a lower
• 19:22
  budget, then you can too. And as you hold that thorn, jump
• 19:31
  back in time to the very point where you were working on the
• 19:34
  script, having the idea, working on the storyboard, and maybe it
• 19:43
  was you at a desk typing away. Maybe it's you with big sheets
• 19:51
  of paper mapping things out, storylines, key characters.
• 20:03
  Get a sense then this film with all these people, at one point
• 20:10
  in time was just you with an idea, turning that idea into
• 20:15
  something tangible, a script, a storyboard, a concept.
• 20:23
  But I want you to feel like you're in your body at that
• 20:25
  point working on that script. There is no chore here.
• 20:31
  There is no obligation. Feel a sense of endless
• 20:37
  enthusiasm, a passion, dare I say it, an obsession to turn
• 20:46
  your concept and idea into something that resonates with
• 20:53
  audiences all over the world. And sometimes when people are
• 21:01
  lost in an idea, writing for hours, they get lost in a trance
• 21:07
  state, drifting off into a state of reverie.
• 21:14
  And I want you to imagine that you wouldn't be writing the
• 21:17
  script for a feature film had you not already had success with
• 21:23
  a short film. So allow yourself to drift
• 21:28
  backwards thinking of that first major award you won for a short
• 21:35
  film. I want you to get a sense then
• 21:42
  maybe it's a Film Festival, you know well, maybe it's one that
• 21:47
  would surprise you, but in order to win an award for a short
• 21:54
  film, you had to have made the short film.
• 22:01
  Imagine being the director of that short film, and before that
• 22:06
  being the writer for that short film.
• 22:08
  And perhaps before that you were working on music videos, working
• 22:17
  in TV production studios, doing the very things that would give
• 22:23
  you skills, connections, ideas, a reality check of what is
• 22:32
  possible in this world with different technology, roles and
• 22:36
  people, and make you think back to where it all started.
• 22:43
  Not your first job on a set, but when you were back at film
• 22:48
  school writing stuff, maybe directing a significant project
• 22:57
  which itself was then submitted for awards.
• 23:03
  But this time I want you to see yourself as someone else.
• 23:09
  See yourself back at film school with a new level of enthusiasm,
• 23:19
  determination. See yourself with a new lease of
• 23:23
  life, invigorated, passionate, taking all of that knowledge and
• 23:29
  understanding of all films and all different ideas and
• 23:35
  distilling it into something where you're constantly working
• 23:42
  on stuff. See yourself in a stage of
• 23:48
  creative productivity and perhaps there's somebody in mind
• 23:56
  you can think of. Maybe an artist, a writer, a
• 24:03
  director that had appeared in their life where they were in
• 24:08
  that state of flow, where some of their best ideas came to them
• 24:17
  because they were constantly challenging their minds.
• 24:21
  See that version of you and see that version of you the same age
• 24:28
  you are now. But where it all started is now
• 24:37
  where a seed of an idea was planted in your subconscious
• 24:40
  mind that unleashed resources that were always there, it just
• 24:47
  needed the catalyst to unlock them.
• 24:53
  A seed could remain a seed for years, but the moment it finds
• 25:00
  that combination of water and soil, the seed becomes something
• 25:07
  else. Start to feel that you were that
• 25:13
  seed of limitless possibility, just waiting for the right
• 25:21
  catalyst to unlock it all. And then you realise these are
• 25:28
  just thoughts within thoughts. The thoughts of someone that was
• 25:37
  making a short film that won an award that led to a script for a
• 25:41
  feature film, that secured a budget that got made and perhaps
• 25:49
  one one of the most prestigious awards that exists.
• 25:54
  But it didn't come from nothing. It came from something.
• 26:00
  And that something is where you are now.
• 26:05
  And then you realise that all of this are just dreams within
• 26:09
  dreams of an idea of you on a beach in your imagination that
• 26:16
  looks something like cans. To find yourself back on that
• 26:21
  beach, imagine getting up off that blanket on the beach, but
• 26:28
  feeling as you walk back on the promenade that you have had a
• 26:34
  journey backwards and forwards in time to enable you to create
• 26:43
  your own adventure that you call life.
• 26:49
  So it's time to return to the here and now with those thoughts
• 26:52
  in mind, but most importantly, where that catalyst has
• 26:57
  activated all of those powerful resources that were always
• 27:03
  there. So take a deep breath in through
• 27:07
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 27:11
  Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes, connecting
• 27:14
  fully into the here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to
• 27:18
  10:00 to awaken you. Starting to count 123 waking up
• 27:25
  456 more alert 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 27:29
  Open your eyes, 910. Wide awake, wide awake, wide
• 27:34
  awake. Thank you for listening to The
