  Hi, it's Adam here, and in this episode of The Hypnotist you'll
• 0:45
  be listening to a hypnosis session designed to help
• 0:50
  someone. Cope with painful and.
• 0:54
  Heavy memories of the past and it was affecting their overall
• 0:59
  sense of well-being. It was affecting their.
• 1:01
  Speech, their ability to live their.
• 1:04
  Life and work in the career that they wanted to largely as a
• 1:09
  result of the impact of the. Past having an.
• 1:15
  Effect on their immediate present and therefore.
• 1:18
  Their ability to. Anticipate what the future would
• 1:22
  be like because most people. They map.
• 1:25
  Out whatever trajectory they're on into the future.
• 1:28
  And if that's a positive? Trajectory then they feel
• 1:31
  positive about the future, but if it isn't and it can lead to
• 1:35
  feelings of hopelessness or a gloomy kind of future and this
• 1:40
  client really wanted to be free of a lot of this overwhelm and
• 1:46
  stress and pressure. They witnessed a tragedy when
• 1:51
  they were very young, but they also had lots of other.
• 1:54
  Things that. Happened in their life that
• 1:56
  really took their toll. So you can hear an element of
• 2:00
  disassociation, can call it escapism, a metaphor of letting
• 2:05
  go of a lot of heavy emotions, a bit of in a child work of
• 2:10
  working with the part of them that witnessed a tragedy, but
• 2:15
  also accessing a resourceful time in their life where they
• 2:19
  could. Communicate very well.
• 2:21
  That they were capable, confident, optimistic and then
• 2:24
  future pacing. What it would be like to see
• 2:27
  that progress in their life that actually not everything has to
• 2:32
  happen straight away, but a future where.
• 2:35
  They're stressed less. Often that they feel more
• 2:38
  resourceful, that they can let go of the past will have an
• 2:42
  impact on what they anticipate the future would be like.
• 2:47
  Obviously, it was created for a client that had witnessed the
• 2:50
  tragedy. You may not have witnessed the
• 2:52
  tragedy and I would say this applies to this hypnosis.
• 2:56
  But all the other hypnosis sessions, because most of them
• 3:00
  are created for individual clients with individual
• 3:02
  circumstances. And that is, I would say, treat
• 3:06
  these hypnosis sessions like a big buffet of all these
• 3:10
  different types of food and pick the bits that you like, you
• 3:14
  enjoy, are relevant to you, and ignore the rest.
• 3:17
  So if you ever hear a suggestion that doesn't quite fit with you
• 3:20
  and your circumstances, just leave it.
• 3:23
  You know, you don't have to accept or take on board every
• 3:27
  suggestion. Take the ones that are useful
• 3:29
  and. Leave the rest.
• 3:31
  And if you like the idea of working with me directly so that
• 3:35
  you can have a bespoke session to you and your needs and your
• 3:38
  circumstances, click the link in the show notes and you'll be
• 3:41
  able to schedule that free consultation call so we can
• 3:43
  explore the idea of working together.
• 3:45
  For now, though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
• 3:48
  won't be disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 4:10
  Take a deep breath in and as you breathe in, breathe in a slow,
• 4:21
  long, relaxing breath and as you exhale, just allow your eyelids
• 4:29
  to close. Dance in, and when you breathe
• 4:34
  in, just imagine breathing in a wonderful feeling of calm
• 4:43
  resourcefulness. Allow that feeling of calmness
• 4:50
  to seek out those parts of your body that are holding on to
• 4:58
  excessive tension, maybe your forehead or eyelids or jaw.
• 5:07
  As you breathe in that feeling of calmness, just imagine slowly
• 5:13
  but surely, they're melting that tension away.
• 5:22
  That's it. And feel that as you exhale, you
• 5:29
  can imagine seeing that tension leaving your body.
• 5:39
  If you're breathing in a bright colour of calmness, like a
• 5:45
  bright yellow or orange, imagine seeing dark greys, shadows, the
• 5:57
  heaviness of tension leaving your body.
• 6:03
  In that outward breath, just feel a wave of relaxation around
• 6:12
  your eyebrows, giving permission for any tension to just let go.
• 6:23
  Now, as you breathe out, feel that tension leaving your body
• 6:34
  before breathing in an even deeper breath of calmness and
• 6:43
  relaxation. Consider this an emotional
• 6:50
  transfusion, breathing in relaxation and exhaling tension.
• 7:07
  I want you to get a sense then, if your body is like a machine,
• 7:15
  all of that stress and tension would be like a robot with the
• 7:22
  wrong voltage. Too much energy going through
• 7:27
  the circuits means that certain things, certain movements or
• 7:33
  speech just wouldn't fire right? Or if it was a hydraulic
• 7:43
  mechanical machine, too much pressure in the hydraulics would
• 7:50
  lead to jilts and jolts, random movements not optimal to that
• 8:03
  hydraulic machine. But what if we were able to let
• 8:12
  go of any excess? Excess energy, excess pressure,
• 8:21
  excess stress, and all those heavy emotions?
• 8:29
  If we were to let them go, suddenly your ability to know
• 8:37
  what to say and how to say it, to move in the way that you
• 8:41
  would like to, becomes almost effortless again.
• 8:50
  What if you are a perfectly formed machine with too much
• 8:58
  pressure and stimulation? The goal is not to change the
• 9:03
  machine, just to reduce the pressure and the stimulation.
• 9:15
  So breathe in that wonderful feeling of calmness.
• 9:19
  Continue to exhale all those shadows of stress and tension,
• 9:25
  seeing them leave your body in that outward breath.
• 9:32
  And I want you to imagine an island that does not exist, an
• 9:40
  island that only exists in your imagination.
• 9:49
  A Paradise Island with sunshine and nature.
• 9:57
  Maybe you can see the sea, a beach, maybe you can imagine
• 10:04
  mountains and forests and a waterfall and just place
• 10:10
  yourself there on that island of relaxation.
• 10:20
  This is an island designed to let go of whatever is getting in
• 10:28
  the way. I want you to imagine they're on
• 10:34
  the beach is a pier, a wooden, picturesque pier that takes you
• 10:44
  out into the crystal clear waters.
• 10:50
  But I want you to imagine what it would be like to walk to the
• 10:56
  edge of that pier, looking back, seeing the Paradise Island,
• 11:03
  seeing the crystal clear water zone in front, seeing the water,
• 11:08
  but not being on the water. And I want you to imagine two
• 11:17
  empty suitcases, one in each hand.
• 11:24
  Feel the lightness of these suitcases because they're empty.
• 11:32
  And if you could imagine standing at the edge of a pier
• 11:37
  under sunshine and blue skies holding 2 empty suitcases, just
• 11:44
  let me know by nodding your head.
• 11:52
  That's it. And we're going to do something
• 11:56
  that your body has wanted you to do for a while, to let go of
• 12:01
  that emotional baggage you've been holding onto.
• 12:07
  So I want you to think, think of where you feel the emotion of
• 12:14
  sadness in your body. For some people, it's around
• 12:19
  their eyes. For some people, it's around
• 12:22
  their throats or a heaviness in the heart.
• 12:27
  And maybe for you, it's somewhere else.
• 12:31
  So I want you to scan your body for that sadness, and when you
• 12:39
  find it, let me know by nodding your head.
• 12:47
  And then just decide to move that feeling of sadness from
• 12:52
  your body into those empty suitcases.
• 12:58
  And as you do so, the suitcases get heavier and heavier because
• 13:07
  of the sadness that's in you is moving to those suitcases.
• 13:19
  Feel the sadness shift its location and feel your arms
• 13:26
  getting heavier and heavier as those suitcases get heavier and
• 13:31
  heavier. I want you to scan your body now
• 13:39
  for any feelings of guilt. Nobody's perfect.
• 13:48
  We've all made mistakes, and the purpose of guilt is not to
• 13:54
  punish you, It's to give you wisdom to change future
• 14:02
  decisions, to scan your body for where you feel that guilt.
• 14:11
  And guilt can feel very heavy indeed.
• 14:18
  And when you find it, start to move that feeling of guilt from
• 14:23
  you into the suitcases. Hold on to the wisdom, the
• 14:29
  hindsight. There is value in making
• 14:34
  mistakes, but the heaviness of the guilt.
• 14:39
  Move it all to the suitcases as those suitcases feel heavier and
• 14:48
  heavier. I want you to scan your body now
• 14:59
  for any feelings of anger. And let's include frustration, a
• 15:07
  mild form of anger when things aren't right, when things
• 15:17
  violate what you value the most. You could be angry at a person,
• 15:26
  an institution. You could be angry at yourself,
• 15:31
  angry at the world. Anger gives a feeling of
• 15:39
  certainty, but at a terrible cost.
• 15:45
  The cortisone, the adrenaline, can almost leave a body feeling
• 15:53
  depleted. To scan your body for that
• 15:58
  anger. For many people, they feel anger
• 16:05
  in the gut, in the jaw, around the temple, sometimes in the
• 16:11
  fists. Scan your body for where you
• 16:15
  feel that anger and when you find it, let me know about
• 16:19
  nodding your head and then move it.
• 16:26
  Just decide it will go into the suitcases, and it will, as those
• 16:33
  previously empty suitcases are now feeling heavy from the
• 16:37
  sadness, the guilt, the anger. They're feeling heavy now,
• 16:45
  really heavy. But the suitcases aren't full.
• 16:56
  I want you to scan your body now for any feelings of regret, and
• 17:04
  there are two main types of regret.
• 17:10
  The things we've done we wished we didn't, and the things we
• 17:15
  never did, we wished we did. And regret can be a heavy
• 17:24
  emotion. In the same way that anxiety is
• 17:32
  normally stored in the gut and stress sometimes around the
• 17:37
  temple or the jaw, regret can have a location in the body too.
• 17:48
  For some people, it's the chest, the solar plexus, sometimes
• 17:55
  somewhere in their head. But locate where regret feels
• 18:00
  like it's located for you. And as you scan your body for
• 18:09
  that regret, just shift it from you into the suitcases.
• 18:18
  As you feel those suitcases get heavier and heavier and heavier.
• 18:24
  As you realise throughout your life you've been accumulating
• 18:30
  emotional baggage. You've learned the lessons from
• 18:38
  your past, but you've been holding on to the weight of that
• 18:45
  emotional baggage like a pressure cooker.
• 18:51
  It's been building up and building up and building up, but
• 18:58
  not to make you any stronger any better.
• 19:01
  It's just been weighing you down like a circuit board with too
• 19:07
  much energy. Going through can lead to bugs
• 19:11
  and errors, things that don't work quite right.
• 19:18
  So just shift it all from you into the bags and then scan your
• 19:26
  body for any other clues. Any other clues of heavy
• 19:31
  emotions? Shift them from you to the bags.
• 19:40
  Feel the bags getting heavier and heavier.
• 19:46
  That might be stress, anxiety, worries, unfinished business,
• 19:55
  doubts and fears. Move it all to those heavy,
• 19:59
  heavy bags now. And when you feel there's no
• 20:05
  more space in the bags, let me know by nodding your head.
• 20:12
  That's it. But we're going to find a new
• 20:16
  level of strength. I want you to imagine hurling 1.
• 20:22
  Of the bags far into the ocean. And when you feel you've let go
• 20:32
  of that one bag, let me know about nodding your head and then
• 20:39
  hurl the second. And just imagine seeing those
• 20:46
  two suitcases sink to the bottom of the ocean, but feel a
• 20:59
  lightness in you that those heavy emotions you've let go of.
• 21:10
  You've retained the wisdom, the inside, the life lessons, but
• 21:14
  the heaviness of the emotions now feel a release, Feel that
• 21:23
  it's easier to breathe, easier to think.
• 21:29
  That's it. And then stare into the still
• 21:35
  ocean water as you recall a moment from your past that you
• 21:41
  felt confident, you felt unstoppable.
• 21:48
  You felt smart and capable. And maybe you can see a
• 21:53
  reflection of who you were back then.
• 21:57
  And as you stare into that reflection, feel like you're
• 22:00
  going back in time to see a version of you.
• 22:09
  Maybe you were working or studying.
• 22:11
  See a version of you confident and capable, and when you can
• 22:17
  see that version of you from your past, with all the
• 22:22
  qualities that you want to rekindle and reawaken within
• 22:26
  you, let me know by nodding your head.
• 22:34
  Maybe see yourself doing a talk or a speech, communicating
• 22:41
  confidently. See, a version of you with the
• 22:43
  words came without needing to force them.
• 22:52
  See a time in your past where the words came intuitively, the
• 22:59
  right words came exactly when you needed them.
• 23:04
  And see that version of you, that younger version of you
• 23:09
  confidently communicating when you can see that version of you.
• 23:14
  Let me know about nodding your head.
• 23:20
  Step into that memory. Feel like you felt back then.
• 23:28
  Notice you hadn't accumulated so much weight and heaviness.
• 23:32
  Then you can feel light and free.
• 23:35
  Feel there's just the right amount of pressure, the right
• 23:41
  amount of stimulation and power going through your circuits that
• 23:47
  when you want to communicate, you can.
• 23:53
  Feel that you can manage your responsibilities.
• 24:00
  Feel that you're reawakening those neural pathways of the
• 24:04
  past as you feel how it would feel to say what you want to say
• 24:12
  and the words just come. And then imagine being an
• 24:22
  observer and hearing you speak the words just come to you.
• 24:30
  You are awakening those numeral pathways.
• 24:35
  The heaviness and the pressure is being let go, and the
• 24:42
  confident, capable version of you is being awakened.
• 24:55
  And I want you to imagine what it would be like with all of
• 25:00
  your knowledge to go back in time to a moment.
• 25:09
  I want you to think back to a specific building where a
• 25:14
  tragedy happened. Go back at your current age with
• 25:19
  your current experience, and I want you to go back moments
• 25:30
  after a significant event happened.
• 25:39
  I want you to go back and comfort that younger version of
• 25:44
  you. Maybe they were filled with
• 25:49
  sadness, doubt, guilt, confusion.
• 25:59
  Go back as you are to that younger version of you and sit
• 26:03
  with them and listen. Tell them that they're not to
• 26:08
  blame. Tell them that it's OK to feel
• 26:16
  sad. Give them whatever they need, a
• 26:23
  hug, reassurance. Maybe they need to know things
• 26:30
  are going to be OK. Tell them that whatever you
• 26:34
  would have wanted to have heard when you were that age at that
• 26:38
  time, hear it from your future self.
• 26:44
  Hear it confidently, clearly hear the words you needed to
• 26:51
  hear, and then place yourself from the perspective of that
• 27:02
  younger version of you hearing those words and giving a
• 27:08
  powerful, positive meaning to a horrible tragedy.
• 27:16
  Maybe it's that you're destined to do great things.
• 27:22
  Maybe it's that you can honour a memory whenever you feel happy,
• 27:29
  calm whenever you activate that calming presence in you.
• 27:37
  You're honouring a legacy, whether you needed to hear, hear
• 27:44
  it, feel it. The meaning you give is that
• 27:51
  sometimes life isn't fair. Bad things happen, but you are
• 27:54
  strong enough and resilient enough to cope.
• 28:00
  Some people feel they have to be sad to show that they love
• 28:03
  someone, but sometimes the best way of showing you love someone
• 28:10
  is to live a life that would make that person proud.
• 28:19
  Go back to that Pierce, see the reflection of you looking at
• 28:23
  you, and start to imagine your future now the way you would
• 28:30
  want it to be. What would it be tomorrow if
• 28:37
  things improved by just 1% with 1% less stress, 1% more
• 28:47
  happiness, 1% more confidence, more belief, more optimism, 1%
• 29:00
  being more relaxed and articulate?
• 29:08
  The way to magical transformations is tiny
• 29:13
  incremental progress consistently.
• 29:20
  If you can imagine tomorrow being 1% better, then it means
• 29:26
  it could get 1% better the day after 2.
• 29:31
  And not every day has to be an improvement.
• 29:35
  Sometimes you need to take one step back to take two steps
• 29:40
  forward. But start to imagine a future a
• 29:46
  year from now with all of those tiny improvements, compounding,
• 29:54
  building on top of each other. See a future when you see more
• 29:59
  relaxed, more calm, more present, less sadness and more
• 30:09
  joy, less heaviness and more energy and vitality, less stress
• 30:20
  and tension and more calmness and mindfulness.
• 30:28
  And then step into that future. Feel how it would be a year from
• 30:31
  now if things were moving in the right direction and feel that is
• 30:39
  a seed being planted in your mind that will bear fruit in
• 30:44
  your future. But it's time to return to the
• 30:51
  present, allowing your mind to create a ripple effect where
• 30:58
  small changes create bigger changes create noticeable
• 31:04
  changes. So find yourself back out on
• 31:08
  that pier, but as you walk back to the beach in the island, feel
• 31:11
  a lightness in you, all those heavy emotions.
• 31:17
  Were at the. Bottom of the ocean.
• 31:19
  Feel a freeness, a lightness, and as you get back to the
• 31:24
  island you realize it's time to return to the present, taking
• 31:32
  some wonderful emotions with you, The main one being hope.
• 31:41
  Hope is just the belief that things will improve and there is
• 31:46
  magic in that hope. So take a deep breath in through
• 31:53
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 31:59
  Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes start to
• 32:02
  connect into the here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to
• 32:08
  10:00 to awaken you. Starting to count 123 waking up
