• 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.
• 0:44
  Hi, it's Adam here, and you're about to listen to a hypnosis
• 0:48
  session all about a metaphor of finding new opportunities, new
• 0:54
  things to do, new adventures. And I was working with a.
• 0:58
  Client that had. Already set the intention to
• 1:00
  retire, but something had happened in their worklace,
• 1:04
  which meant that they had retirement earlier than they
• 1:07
  were expecting. They'd also sold their house,
• 1:09
  They were going to downsize to somewhere new.
• 1:12
  So there was a change to their living circumstances, a change
• 1:16
  to their working circumstances, and they had more time.
• 1:20
  And what they were concerned about is that they didn't want
• 1:23
  to stagnate and to get into routines that were monotonous or
• 1:29
  boring. And what was interesting is that
• 1:32
  they had a positive association with the idea of surfing,
• 1:37
  particularly body boarding or the kind of surfing where you
• 1:39
  stand up. And therefore what you're going
• 1:42
  to hear in this hypnosis session is a metaphor of finding waves.
• 1:47
  And what I like about this metaphor is that all waves are
• 1:50
  temporary. There's never ever been a wave
• 1:52
  that's lasted forever, So therefore the waves are
• 1:55
  temporary. But to find a way, if you've got
• 1:57
  to be in the right kind of environment, you're not going to
• 2:00
  find a wave on land. You have to find a wave in the
• 2:04
  ocean. And that means being on the
• 2:05
  right beaches, looking at the currents, having your eyes open
• 2:09
  and your attention there. But then when you see the
• 2:10
  opportunity, taking the opportunity.
• 2:13
  So this resonated with the client because they could have
• 2:17
  an idea that there were lots of possible things they wanted to
• 2:20
  do in their future, but they weren't entirely sure what they
• 2:24
  did want to do. So the waves become a
• 2:26
  representation of things they can try.
• 2:29
  And that might be goals, it might be experiences, it might
• 2:32
  be places to visit. And the element of riding the
• 2:36
  wave also links to this idea of mindfulness.
• 2:40
  So there's a bit going on here, but I would encourage you to
• 2:44
  think about where in your life do things feel bored, you know,
• 2:49
  or monotonous or just a bit stale or stagnant, and therefore
• 2:54
  just think of the waves. As new things.
• 2:58
  And that could be new friendships, new things to.
• 3:00
  Learn new. Places to visit, new things to
• 3:03
  try, and then when you're listening to the waves, don't be
• 3:06
  surprised if ideas pop up for you that might lead to
• 3:10
  interesting things that you want to.
• 3:12
  Go and seek out. This was created for someone
• 3:16
  else. Some of these suggestions might
• 3:17
  be perfect for them, but not quite right for you.
• 3:20
  So if you do like the idea of working with me directly, there
• 3:23
  will be a link in the description where you can book a
• 3:26
  completely free consultation call to explore working with me.
• 3:29
  But there's also lots of free things in there, a free course,
• 3:32
  free downloads. So if you like the kind of stuff
• 3:34
  that I do, check out the description on the show notes.
• 3:37
  Download whatever tickles your pickle and and tickles your
• 3:40
  fancy. There's lots of free stuff in
• 3:43
  there. For now, though, find a quiet,
• 3:46
  comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
• 3:48
  Relax and enjoy the. Session.
• 4:47
  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in that
• 4:57
  long relaxing breath. And as you exhale, feel a sense
• 5:05
  of release, as if tension, stress or worries are leaving
• 5:12
  your body in that outward breath.
• 5:16
  And when you breathe in again, breathe in deeper and longer.
• 5:25
  And as you exhale, just elongate the outward breath, eyelids
• 5:34
  feeling heavy and relaxed and just feeling the release of that
• 5:39
  outward breath, like you're letting go, breathing in
• 5:48
  relaxation and exhaling tension. Each breath takes you deeper and
• 5:58
  more relaxed than the previous breath, More and more
• 6:04
  comfortable, deeper and deeper, relaxed.
• 6:11
  That's it. And doesn't it feel good to
• 6:18
  allow yourself to just feel like you're drifting to a place where
• 6:26
  change happens? And sometimes the best changes
• 6:36
  are when a thought it becomes an idea, and an idea becomes a new
• 6:45
  way of thinking, a new way of subtly making new choices,
• 6:57
  intuitive decisions that take your life in a wonderful new
• 7:03
  direction. And the deeper you breathe, the
• 7:13
  more relaxed you become. And the more relaxed you become,
• 7:18
  the deeper you breathe. And as you find yourself
• 7:23
  relaxing even more, maybe it's good to position your body in a
• 7:29
  way that you can feel even more comfortable, your eyelids
• 7:37
  feeling even more relaxed now. The heaviness in the eyelids and
• 7:47
  on the next outward breath just allow your body to release even
• 7:55
  more tension, enabling arms and legs to just feel soft and
• 8:02
  loose, heavy and relaxed. On the next inhale, feel like
• 8:13
  you're breathing in a sense of calm.
• 8:17
  And on the exhale, allow yourself to release any
• 8:25
  heaviness, echoes of emotions that you no longer need to
• 8:32
  carry. And as you breathe in and
• 8:37
  breathe out, you realise that there's nothing you need to do
• 8:44
  right now. But maybe you notice the natural
• 8:49
  rhythm of your breath. And the rhythm of your breath is
• 8:54
  like waves gently laughing at the shore, coming in and going
• 9:00
  out, a steady, soothing rhythm that helps you drift even
• 9:11
  deeper. And as you imagine those waves
• 9:17
  gently lapping at the shore, I want you to see the ocean
• 9:23
  connected to that beach. And I wonder if you can imagine
• 9:29
  a place that you've never been. And yet somehow this beach, this
• 9:36
  Cove, it feels familiar. And maybe you could imagine warm
• 9:44
  sand beneath your feet, that feeling of a gentle breeze or
• 9:53
  sunshine on your skin. And I wonder if you could
• 10:00
  imagine an the ocean that stretches endlessly all the way
• 10:05
  to the horizon and the sun is shimmering off the surface of
• 10:12
  the water. It seems inviting, magnificent,
• 10:21
  enticing. And I wonder if you could
• 10:28
  imagine wearing whatever clothing is suitable to be in
• 10:34
  the water. And as you walk toward the
• 10:39
  water, feeling the wet sand and then the waves around your
• 10:46
  ankles and legs, allow each step to feel lighter and each breath
• 10:56
  deeper as you begin to feel a sense of possibility as vast as
• 11:05
  the sea, breathing in relaxation, exhaling tension.
• 11:15
  And I want you to notice a surfboard almost like it's
• 11:20
  waiting just for you. Sturdy, strong, the right length
• 11:28
  and shape just for you. But this board represents
• 11:35
  something. This board is your trust, your
• 11:43
  trust in life, in yourself, and in the unfolding journey of your
• 11:50
  future. And as you wade into the water,
• 11:57
  cool, refreshing. Imagine that the water itself
• 12:02
  awakens something inside you. And then imagine climbing above
• 12:15
  and surfboard, allowing it to support your weight, and then
• 12:20
  paddle out into the sea where the waves are gentle at first,
• 12:28
  just bobbing up and down each tiny wave, lifting you, carrying
• 12:37
  you, reminding you there is nothing that you need to force.
• 12:47
  Just allow the buoyancy to ride and glide as you drift out
• 12:57
  deeper and deeper. And as you imagine going further
• 13:04
  out, imagine being able to read the ocean, finding the rhythm of
• 13:14
  the waves. And some are big and some are
• 13:19
  small, some are powerful and some are calm.
• 13:28
  But the waves never stop. There are always more waves.
• 13:40
  And for a period of time, even if the sea is still, the energy
• 13:46
  is building. And even when the tide is out,
• 13:54
  it's also temporary because the tide will come back in.
• 14:04
  And maybe the ocean is an ocean of possibility.
• 14:12
  And it feels like your life now. I want you to get a sense that
• 14:22
  sometimes people get attached to things like a job or a house or
• 14:30
  a city, and these things become anchors that stop the
• 14:39
  exploration. It can hold us back, but I want
• 14:48
  you to feel a sense of untold possibility.
• 14:57
  There is no anchor attached to you, just you, the surfboard and
• 15:05
  the ocean. Knowing that you can leave this
• 15:09
  beach and go to a different beach.
• 15:19
  And if you were to imagine how many beaches there are in the
• 15:22
  world, there would be thousands upon thousands everyday finding
• 15:33
  a new beach and you still couldn't see them all.
• 15:41
  But what if each beach represents something different
• 15:49
  in your future, not just a destination?
• 15:55
  It may be a decision, an intention, an opportunity.
• 16:03
  And what if the waves are just moments?
• 16:13
  Moments that you can ride experience to just be.
• 16:25
  And some beaches that you think will be incredible aren't what
• 16:33
  you think they will be. And other beaches where you have
• 16:38
  low expectations will surprise you with wonderful waves you
• 16:46
  weren't expecting. And of course, there may be
• 16:51
  moments of uncertainty, moments where you wonder when and where
• 16:59
  the next wave will come. But you're learning now that the
• 17:07
  wave always comes, sometimes different to what you expect,
• 17:17
  but it always comes. Maybe not here, or maybe not
• 17:22
  now, but always eventually. But no surfer goes to a beach
• 17:36
  looking for a guarantee of a specific wave.
• 17:41
  They go to the beach hoping for waves, responsive to waves, and
• 17:50
  prepared for waves. I want you to get a sense that
• 17:58
  some waves in your future will take you further than others and
• 18:05
  some waves will teach you more than others, but all of them
• 18:11
  give you an experience and with that experience you will learn
• 18:18
  or enjoy. I want you to get a sands then.
• 18:27
  Life is full of beaches and waves and just as the ocean is
• 18:34
  never truly still, neither are you.
• 18:42
  When 1 chapter ends, another chapter begins, but nothing has
• 18:48
  ended. Nothing is finished, just
• 18:52
  different, evolving, adapting and changing.
• 19:06
  And this next chapter? What if you are the author as
• 19:13
  well as the reader, the custodian of this chapter,
• 19:20
  responsible for the time, energy and health that you now hold in
• 19:27
  your hands as you consider yourself a steward of
• 19:33
  creativity, a guardian of presence, a keeper of joyful
• 19:41
  progress and with every breath, feel and honour.
• 19:52
  The responsibility gives you options without obligations, and
• 20:01
  you choose to take the option to live from a mindful present
• 20:11
  place. Your future is not a burden, but
• 20:15
  a gift. And I want you to feel a whole
• 20:22
  new level of dedication arising within you, And not the kind of
• 20:31
  dedication that belongs to a boss or a building, but to
• 20:39
  yourself. To your values, to your
• 20:45
  experiences, to your art and creativity, to the people and
• 20:52
  projects that resonate with you, that light you up inside, where
• 21:00
  every walk and every conversation, every act of
• 21:05
  creation becomes part of a legacy that you're now building.
• 21:11
  And what if that is a legacy of living well, with intention,
• 21:19
  with meaning, and with the impact as you begin to feel more
• 21:24
  inspired, as if the waves are not just out there in the ocean,
• 21:32
  but within you, letting you know that you are ready and your
• 21:41
  future does not have to be mapped out.
• 21:47
  You are becoming someone that can ride any wave on any beach
• 21:54
  in any ocean because you are your body and your board.
• 22:05
  You find the beach, you ride out to the waves, knowing that each
• 22:13
  wave can be appreciated. But the when the wave goes back
• 22:21
  into the ocean, you know a new wave, a different wave is not
• 22:31
  far behind. And I want you to think about
• 22:38
  the next few weeks and months. Maybe it's a trip to a region
• 22:48
  you've not been before. Maybe that's the beach and the
• 22:55
  moments of the waves. Maybe it's a new.
• 23:00
  Creative pursuit. That's the beach and what you
• 23:06
  create are the waves. Maybe it's something you'd like
• 23:14
  to learn. Maybe that's the beach and the
• 23:20
  learning is riding those waves. You are the custodian, you are
• 23:34
  the steward, you are the seeker and the rider of the waves.
• 23:44
  And if your unconscious mind as an idea.
• 23:49
  Of those. Future waves, let me know by
• 23:50
  nodding your head. Consider that a seed of an idea
• 23:58
  planted deep in your subconscious mind that will take
• 24:03
  root and bear many more fruit of other ideas, similar and
• 24:11
  different. And the more creative you are,
• 24:18
  the more creative you can be. And creativity starts with an
• 24:25
  idea, a thought. So consider that thought a seed
• 24:33
  that's been planted now as it's time to return from beaches and
• 24:39
  oceans, waves and surfboards, all the way back to the present.
• 24:47
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 24:52
  nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
• 24:56
  wiggle your toes. Connect and calibrate into the
• 24:59
  here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken
• 25:04
  you. Starting to count 123 waking up
• 25:12
  456 more alert 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 25:16
  Open your eyes 910. Wide awake.
• 25:21
  Wide awake. Wide awake.
