0:39
Hi, it's Adam here. And on today's episode of The
0:42
Hypnotist, we've got another guest hypnotist.
0:46
It's not going to be a hypnosis session from me.
0:48
In today's session, we've got a very, very special guest.
0:52
It's John Scanlon, who is the founder and creator of the Irish
0:56
Hypnotherapy Conference. Welcome to the show.
0:59
Thank you, Adam. It's lovely to be here.
1:00
Great to, great to. Have you on the show, John?
1:03
So first of all, give us a bit of a background to you.
1:07
What was it that led you to discover hypnotherapy and to
1:12
become a hypnotist? Really good question and I can
1:16
really, I can go through that very quickly.
1:18
I mean, I am trained as an accountant who has become a
1:22
hypnotherapist. And it's funny, I'm not actually
1:25
unique in that because I actually know quite a lot of
1:26
people in finance, wonder why. And a lot of my work, it's been
1:33
a journey to got me here and actually, I suppose, literally
1:39
closed that loop, which I did last July.
1:42
But I'm adopted and I've always known I was adopted.
1:46
And my early childhood, you know, my parents who adopted me,
1:53
my father died when I was 15. My mother died when I was 17, so
1:58
I experienced a huge amount of loss.
2:00
And my grandmother, who lived with me or lived with us, I
2:03
should say, she died when I was 21.
2:06
And so by the time I was 21, I'd lost four most significant
2:09
adults in my life. So during that period, I was
2:13
searching for something and I didn't necessarily know what it
2:16
was. There was a lot of naturally and
2:21
stuff I couldn't even explain. And it was the late 80s, so it
2:24
was kind of like Americans do on Dallas or one of those kind of
2:29
things. It's not something that also
2:30
Irish people do, you know? So there really wasn't anything
2:35
anybody to talk to. It was just suck it up and move
2:38
on. It was really lucky because it
2:42
would have been easy to go down a really bad path.
2:45
It would have been very well. I was surrounded by a really
2:49
loving family. And it was I was absolutely
2:51
blessed from that perspective. And when I was 27, my first, my
2:56
eldest son was born. And I remember holding in my
3:00
arms that day. And I was thinking, somebody did
3:02
that for me all those years before.
3:05
And I'm going to always want to know where he is, you know, make
3:09
sure he's OK and make sure he's safe.
3:12
Somebody must be thinking about that maybe on birthdays or
3:17
little did I know what it was actually going to open up for me
3:20
as I started that journey. But I anyone who's familiar with
3:27
the Irish adoption story will know anyone who went searching
3:32
about the runaround left, right and centre.
3:35
A lot of secrecy, a lot of shame around it to be honest.
3:40
And it's been exposed quite a lot recently over the last few
3:43
years. But eventually the health board
3:48
kind of came back to me and said, look, you know, she
3:52
doesn't want to meet. And I'm like, OK, fine.
3:55
So I wrote a letter and just said literally everything was
3:57
fine. It all worked out and with a
3:59
lovely family and, you know, the door is always open anytime you
4:04
want to connect, please do. So about 10 years later, I got a
4:07
phone call from the health board or slightly less basically
4:11
saying that she wanted to connect.
4:14
And I, I met and I met somebody who was a lovely person, a
4:19
really, really, genuinely lovely person.
4:22
I mean, but was there a mother bond or a mother father connect
4:26
or mother son connection? I should say I didn't really
4:28
feel it. I didn't really feel it.
4:31
And but as I spoke with her and as I engaged with her, I
4:36
discovered that, you know, I think what I discovered was the
4:41
help board had pre framed a lot of that conversation for me
4:45
because what they told me was things like she'd had a tough
4:48
life and she turned to dream and she so immediately I was kind of
4:51
almost under defensive for three young children who were
4:54
self-employed as an accountant. And it was kind of like, you
4:57
know, that was my first priority to protect.
5:00
And then suddenly I was bringing someone else into my life who
5:03
had basically a whole load of issues that she had in her life.
5:08
So I wasn't properly equipped in which to deal with it at the
5:10
time. And that's been honest and 100%
5:12
truthful. A couple of years later, we lost
5:21
touch over time and which is something I regret now because I
5:26
just wasn't properly equipped in it.
5:32
But a couple of years later, my marriage broke down.
5:34
I, I went through a tough time. I lost access to the kids.
5:37
For a while. It was nothing.
5:38
It was just, you know, as breakdowns happen, children take
5:43
sides and all that. And so I went through a year of
5:47
counselling and it was like one of the most difficult things
5:50
I've ever done. It almost became a codependency
5:52
relationship, which probably explains why I'm not a big fan
5:55
of psychotherapy these days. But I discovered Reiki and I
6:01
discovered meditation. And actually it really, really
6:04
took me on a journey. I'd always been interested in my
6:07
early 20s, since my early 20s and kind of would have started
6:11
with that self help stuff and then Tony Robbins and various
6:13
sort of bits, just the psychology aspect of it.
6:17
And it led me to hypnotherapy around nine years ago.
6:22
And then I discovered the the power of hypnotherapy.
6:26
Really it helped me an awful lot personally to overcome a lot of
6:34
those. Even stuff that brought up like
6:35
for instance, there was a Mother and baby home report published
6:38
here in I think it was 2021, huge amount of unexplained
6:44
feelings for me, literally. Then they came out of nowhere,
6:48
but I had the tools in which to deal with them then, you know,
6:51
and I had the support around me to deal with them.
6:55
So I set my practice up and I basically was working with to a
7:00
large degree people who had anxiety.
7:03
My mother would have had severe anxiety at the time.
7:05
I would have grown up in that environment.
7:08
It was, I suppose it was natural for me to work with that.
7:13
That anxiety led to working with people with trauma that would
7:18
say F&D in particular, which would be a trauma based and I
7:22
can explain that in a little bit, a trauma based mind body
7:27
connection issue. It led me to work a lot with
7:30
trauma anxiety. And then in London in, I think
7:34
it was two years ago at the UK convention, Irish convention,
7:39
came from Sheila Granger and I had a conversation.
7:43
Sheila, for anyone who doesn't know her, is another
7:45
hypnotherapist and she's also adopted.
7:49
And over time we ended up developing, We ended up striking
7:54
up a friendship because of the connection between the similar
7:59
feelings. And then I realized, OK, there's
8:01
nobody really talking about this very much, even though it's a
8:04
big issue, started to build it into my practice.
8:08
And then people over that period of time and along with Sheila
8:14
started to train hypnotherapists in that field and as well.
8:17
So to my knowledge, I would be probably the only therapist who
8:23
actually talks about it quite openly and presents about it in
8:26
the way that I do. And I, I suppose leading me to
8:33
hypnotherapy, one of the proudest moments in my life was
8:35
actually not actually the convention last year or the year
8:38
before, but actually that training program that we LED.
8:43
It was kind of like a loop had been closed for me, if that
8:46
makes sense. No, it it.
8:48
Definitely does make sense. And I think a lot of therapists
8:51
go on a journey where they they're kind of drawn to
8:55
something normally through personal experiences.
8:58
So for me, I've gravitated towards a lot of people with
9:03
anxiety and severe phobias because that was my experience.
9:07
I was my first client kind of dealing with extreme anxiety.
9:11
And obviously you lived as someone that felt all of the
9:15
emotions that someone that went through adoption experience.
9:21
And there is a saying, it's a bit of a cliche, Hurt people
9:24
hurt people. But there's another side of that
9:26
coin, which is healed people heal people.
9:29
Do you find that that's kind of true for you, that some of the
9:32
things that you've gone through yourself gives you a unique
9:36
ability to help other people, to have that extra level of
9:39
empathy? I would like to think that that
9:42
is true and leave it's true myself.
9:47
Others would have to to tell you those who know me personally,
9:49
but it does because I don't want people to live unnecessarily
9:56
with with trauma that they just don't know what they have.
9:59
And in the case of say myself and, and adopted issues where
10:04
there's all kinds of things that come up about lack of confidence
10:07
and lack of that it that arise from, from the feeling of being
10:10
rejected at a young age where you don't feel good enough.
10:13
You're, you're doing twice the work just because you feel you
10:20
need to, to actually prove that you're worth actually being
10:23
there in the 1st place. And in the end of the day, all
10:28
of us are born equal. We're all born as an amazing
10:31
ball of energy for whatever essence you want to call that.
10:36
And it is what I'm trying what I'm doing today is helping
10:41
people to be, they're free to live their life as they want to
10:45
because life's meant to be enjoyed and not but the other
10:49
side of it. Adam is and, and, and it's part
10:51
of the reason where the conference would have come
10:53
about, but it's not the sole reason.
10:56
And because myself in, in, in every session that I have here,
11:03
all the stuff that I do, it's about helping people to
11:07
understand how the minds work in as much as we understand it.
11:11
Because nobody really teaches us how to manage our mind.
11:15
You know, we're taught how to physically care for ourselves,
11:18
how to mentally care for ourselves, even in terms of
11:22
learning and all that stuff. But nobody really teaches us how
11:25
to manage our emotions. And nobody teaches us a lot
11:28
about emotion therapists. I think we're perfectly we, we
11:33
have a better understanding of that than most.
11:37
So that is part of that. So that people don't actually
11:40
have to. People can be aware.
11:42
Information is power in that sense.
11:44
And they can those changes that they want and live the life that
11:48
they shouldn't live, which is a life of joy and happiness.
11:51
Absolutely. And you mentioned the Irish
11:53
Hypnotherapy Conference taking place in April in in Dublin.
11:58
You're going to be doing a talk about adoption.
12:01
Tell us a little bit about what you've learned from your
12:04
experiences and how you help either people that are adopted
12:09
or other hypnotherapists work with people that are adopted to
12:13
help maybe release feelings of kind of that kind of unworthy
12:18
nurse or rejection or whatever it might be.
12:21
And the main ways that it, the main ways that I do this,
12:25
ultimately everything I'm trying to do is get back into that
12:29
inner child, to let that child re experience life in a
12:33
different way. Ultimately, everything that I
12:39
get to the stage during those sessions, but he can actually
12:44
reconnect with that inner child. And I mean that really young
12:48
young child, not, not a three-year old or a four year
12:51
old, not gone all the way back even further.
12:54
So they can actually make that connection and begin to realize
12:57
that those, the, the essence of them, the soul of them, whatever
13:03
it is that we, we, we come with, is born equal as everyone else
13:11
with the same amount of empathy, the same amount of love, the
13:14
same amount of feeling of deservingness and learning that
13:17
feeling to come all the way through.
13:19
Ultimately it's about somebody re framing their experiences.
13:25
Ultimately, it's about them feeling safe in their own
13:29
environment and in themselves primarily.
13:33
Yeah, which leads to a level of. People don't feel safe.
13:35
Yeah, safe, secure, but also self acceptance, you know,
13:39
accepting themselves, particularly if they felt that
13:42
they were rejected in some way. Yeah, and it's that feeling of
13:45
love. I mean, ultimately it always
13:49
ends in a in a journey of self love.
13:52
Everything that I'm aiming to do is aiming is re framing life's
13:56
experience in the journey of self love.
13:59
They've always been loved, always been supported and always
14:01
been accepted in just in a way they haven't thought about it
14:04
before. And before you, you mentioned
14:07
the kind of the mind body connection, one of the things
14:09
that you also work with a lot of clients on is FND.
14:14
Give us a bit of an explanation as to what FND is and how you
14:18
use hypnotherapy to help. Yeah, Functional neurological
14:21
disorder or FND. And it's really interesting how
14:25
I came across it. Basically what it is first and
14:28
foremost is where the mind body connection has broken down and
14:34
it breaks down in a number of different ways.
14:35
It manifests in a number of different ways.
14:38
So some people get an epileptic seizure, some people can't walk,
14:41
some people get dizziness, some people get their hearing is
14:44
affected or sight. But when they're on Mris,
14:48
there's nothing, absolutely there's nothing wrong.
14:50
There's nothing they can see. Now, maybe in time, you know
14:53
that technology would improve and then find something else.
14:56
But what we know is that trauma plays a significant role in it,
15:01
and we also know that stress heightens it and heightens those
15:04
symptoms. One of the challenges with FND
15:07
is that if you can imagine for a moment that you can't walk, but
15:13
you were able to walk before, and the doctors tell you there's
15:15
nothing wrong, then your anxiety is going to kick in.
15:20
For many people, they're going to get panic attacks.
15:23
They can medicate for the anxiety and panic attacks in the
15:26
same therapist. We wouldn't even recommend that,
15:28
but they do. There's no solution for because
15:36
of it. There's no solution for the FND.
15:39
And my very first case of it, I remember getting a call from a
15:45
friend of mine who had said to me, look, there's this young
15:49
girl I know she's a young mother.
15:52
She gets non epileptic seizures every day.
15:55
She gets six of them every single day.
16:00
And terrible social anxiety, can't really leave the house
16:03
very much. So I went down to the house and
16:07
we ended up doing 4 sessions with her.
16:10
After three, all her seizures stopped because we as we dealt
16:15
with the trauma, the seizures stopped.
16:18
It doesn't mean they haven't come back when she's gone
16:20
through really stressful time, but they've come back much
16:24
lighter than they did before. And her very first case, or in
16:29
her case, it was like she'd literally wear a lanyard around
16:32
her neck going don't call an ambulance and this will pass.
16:37
You know, if it happened there when she was on the street and
16:39
her 11 year old son was with her and of course he was a hey, so
16:45
he was dealing with all the kind of stuff that goes with that as
16:47
well. And it led me to work.
16:52
Firstly, there is no, there's very few hypnotherapists at
16:55
least in Ireland who were even aware of it, not to mind say
16:59
deal with it. So that's supposed that's been
17:03
the other side of my mission is to been creating awareness about
17:05
that which I was. We held an event for 30
17:08
hypnotherapists in, in Larne near Belfast there in September.
17:11
And I made a presentation and did a demonstration for people
17:14
on that. It's about working with the mind
17:16
body connection because the other side of it, Adam, is that
17:21
you know, and I'm not sure if you're familiar with the book,
17:23
the expectation effect. David Robson.
17:27
It's a really powerful book. Actually, even there's another
17:33
book I'm thinking of. It's on pre surgical hypnosis
17:36
and it's written by and people will be listening to this now
17:40
and I'll get it because it's on my phone actually there, but
17:43
people will be listening to this.
17:44
Remember that book, It's on the all of these are on the mind
17:49
body connection. But I always remember and
17:52
actually again I'll go back to London and it was Irving Hirsch
17:59
presentation by Irving Hirsch and he had done a as I just find
18:05
that book now he had done a presentation on the placebo
18:13
effect in depression drugs and he had proven that it was 80% of
18:19
the effect was placebo. And we know that say sorry.
18:24
The other book is Healing Beyond Pills and Potions by Steve
18:27
Bierman. 2 fascinating books on the mind body connection.
18:32
But in those you learn things like any time a drug is brought
18:37
to market, it's measured. The gold standard test is
18:41
against placebo and placebo is about 30% effective minimum in
18:44
pretty much every case, which goes to show us the power of the
18:47
mind body connection. And it's about, for me, it's
18:51
about creating an environment for that mind body connection to
18:55
work by releasing the cortisol, releasing the adrenaline,
19:00
releasing the stress, so clearing the trauma, creating
19:02
that positive environment. I'd be a huge fan of Bruce
19:06
Lipton as well. And just creating that positive
19:11
environment for the body to heal itself because our immune system
19:15
is a superpower. It's been healing ourselves all
19:17
our lives. You know, we just as hypnotists,
19:22
we, we can understand the power of the mind and we can actually
19:26
believe a little more healing that body.
19:31
So I suppose part of it for me has been an education in terms
19:34
of saying to OK, you have more power than you believe.
19:39
Absolutely. And sometimes it's, it's getting
19:41
out of our own way, isn't it? It's, it's not doing the thing
19:44
and, and allowing the body to, to heal.
19:47
So at the Irish Ship Note therapy convention, you're going
19:50
to be talking about adoption. People might be curious to learn
19:56
more about you and work with you when it comes to FND.
19:59
So we'll have links to both in the show notes.
20:02
If you're interested in the conference, check out the show
20:04
notes. And if you're interested in
20:06
working with John, check out the show notes as well.
20:07
But give us a website address or your contact details.
20:10
So if anyone is curious to work with you directly, they know how
20:13
to get in contact. Yeah, my website, I'm based in
20:16
Gory and Wexford, so my website is www.empower, EMPOWER Gory Gor
20:24
ey.com. Perfect.
20:29
Well check out that website if you're interested in working
20:31
with John. Now, John, you're going to be
20:33
doing a hypnosis session for us. So I'm about to put myself on
20:38
mute. So if you want to kind of frame
20:40
it, give us a bit of an intro. And as I always do with these
20:43
kind of guest hypnotists, I enjoy the hypnosis too.
20:46
So I'm going to put myself on mute and I'll I'll be going
20:48
along with it. So over to you, John.
20:51
OK. Thank you, Adam.
20:53
OK, so this is pretty much aimed at like the first session I
20:58
would do with anybody. And depending on on what it is
21:01
that they're presenting with, there may be a deep recession
21:06
goes in as part of this. What I'll do is I'll guide
21:09
people through and what they'll do is they will release stress
21:12
and tension and they'll really like, they'll release drama
21:16
through this if they're holding on to any.
21:18
And they'll also set up a program for it to run every
21:22
night as they sleep. So the the pressure cooker that
21:24
stores all of the dresses that we hold on to is given an
21:29
instruction to release itself each and every night as you
21:31
sleep. So yeah, so whenever you're
21:35
ready, I'm just going to ask you to fix your eyes up for a spot
21:39
on the ceiling and just stare at that spot.
21:41
And I'm just going to ask you take 3 deep breaths.
21:44
And as you breathe in, just hold for the mental count of three,
21:47
two, and one. And as the exhaler let your eyes
21:49
close, take another deep breath in.
21:55
As you breathe in, eyes open and fix back up in that spot, 3, two
22:01
and one. And as you exhale, just allow
22:02
your eyes to close and a wave of relaxation to flow down through
22:05
your body. And then on 1/3, deep breath in,
22:09
eyes open. Hold it for the mental count of
22:12
three, two and one. And as you exhale, just allow
22:15
your eyes to close all the way down and just get a sense of
22:19
that level of relaxation in your eyes.
22:21
Now just wanting to just keep those little tiny muscles around
22:26
your eyes just relax so closed that they just don't want to.
22:31
While all of that's happening, just for a few moments just
22:34
realize that nobody wants or needs anything.
22:36
There really is nothing for you to do except simply let go.
22:40
To let go of the field surface that supports you, or the sounds
22:46
that you hear, sound of my voice, or any other sounds you
22:49
hear around you, or even the light that's reflecting behind
22:52
your eyes. Just letting go of those inner
22:58
sensations you're feeling. Sensations in arms or legs or
23:02
anywhere in your body, or even those internal sounds like the
23:09
beating of your heart is under your breath.
23:12
Thoughts and images that are floating up from the mind
23:15
automatically. Because just for a moment,
23:18
nobody wants or needs anything. There is nothing for you to do
23:21
except simply let go. Let go the effort it's taking to
23:25
even be aware of the effort of which leg is relaxing faster
23:28
than the other, or which arm feels lighter or warmer than the
23:33
other, or even with shoulders dropping down deeper than the
23:38
other. Just dropping down to that place
23:41
of peaceful inner awareness that seems to almost send out a
23:45
signal out like a beacon that draws your attention even deeper
23:48
inside. The deeper you go, the better
23:51
you feel, and the better you feel, the deeper you go.
23:54
In a moment, I'll come from 10 down to one.
23:56
When I get to #1 I'm just going to ask you to be in a place in
23:59
your mind where you feel at peace for yourself in the world.
24:03
Might be somewhere you know, or it might be somewhere you've yet
24:05
to visit, or wherever it is. It's just somewhere where you
24:11
feel literally at peace for yourself in the world.
24:14
As I'm counting down from 12:50, I'm going to count from 1:00 to
24:17
10:00, and I count from 1:00 to 10:00.
24:20
You let go, you let go of stresses and tensions, worries
24:24
and all that stuff that you might have been holding on to,
24:29
just feeling every muscle, nerve and fibre relax.
24:32
Now one all those worries, fears, concerns that you've been
24:37
holding on to from before today that are all in the past, your
24:41
mind can begin to let them go now 9.
24:46
Every breath is just taking a deeper and deeper inside. 2 Any
24:51
limiting beliefs that are ever placed upon anything that says
24:54
you can't do something. Your mind's beginning to assess
24:57
all of those now and beginning to let them go.
25:01
A Even deeper. B Any events that you've been
25:07
holding on to, any negative emotion around, any events from
25:10
the past that are all in the past, that are all before this
25:15
day, your mind can realise they are over and begin to let them
25:20
go now. 7 Stropping down the even deeper 4 Worries, fears,
25:28
concerns, limiting beliefs and past negative emotions in placed
25:33
in helium balloons that are filled and tight now and ready
25:35
to let go. 6 Even deeper inside, mind and body so relaxed.
25:46
Five, those balloons have been released just like you'd release
25:48
balloons in the park on a summer's day.
25:50
Just see them drift and flight away.
25:53
Every number up. You'll just see yourself at the
25:55
top of those 10 steps, feeling fantastic, confident, happy
26:03
sleep. Seeing that you at the top of
26:04
those steps now, your shoulders back, your head's up, you're
26:07
smiling. 7 See that twinkle in your eye.
26:11
Eight, that smile across your face, you can just see that
26:14
confidence and that happiness and that peace radiating from
26:17
you. 9, being pulled into you. And 10, just feeling that you're
26:23
just getting a sense of what that feels like and allowing
26:26
your own just mind to think about what it needs to let go to
26:31
achieve that state. Prominently.
26:37
Every number down just brings you down to that beautiful,
26:39
peaceful place in your mind. I've just getting a sense of
26:43
that now. 4, seeing it even clearer.
26:49
Are you just imagining the sound you might hear?
26:52
2 Imagine the fragrances you might smell and one you're just
26:56
about to step in, but before you do, just look over your shoulder
26:59
and see those balloons just drift off into the horizon.
27:02
We're ever gone. And with all those stresses,
27:04
those worries, those limiting beliefs, and those all negative
27:08
emotions and 0. Just be there.
27:12
Just get a sense of what it feels like.
27:14
Every field in the ground, the colours you see, the sounds you
27:17
hear. And somewhere in that space,
27:20
there is a space for you to sit. There's a space for you to lie.
27:25
And as you do, and as you get comfortable, you can begin to
27:29
realize that somewhere in the space around you, it's a
27:33
magnetic source of energy that's perfectly attuned to any
27:36
negative feeling, image, thought, emotion, or sensation
27:39
that you've been holding on to. Thought, emotion, or sensation
27:45
you've been hoping after for the last few minutes, the last few
27:47
years, the last few days, weeks, months, years, all the way back
27:51
to when you were a child. In a moment.
27:54
I'm just going to count from 3:00 to 1:00 when I get to
27:56
number one, that magnetic source will just start to pull from
27:59
you. Those negative feelings, images,
28:01
thoughts, emotions and sensations, you may feel them
28:03
off your shoulder, out the top of your head, whatever way you
28:07
need to let them go. Your hands, your feet, your
28:09
stomach, your legs, your chest, just let them go.
28:12
They're all in the past 321. Any negative feeling, image,
28:20
thought, emotion or sensation just been pulled out, just been
28:24
sucked there. Just been dragged out piece by
28:27
piece, bit by bit, 1 by 1. It's just happening
28:35
automatically now as your mind is marking today's date and
28:40
seeing all that stuff that's in the past that it can let go of
28:44
any negative sensation. And that magnetic source of
28:51
energy is about to double in size, power and intensity.
28:55
Pulling out the even deeper ones now.
29:01
Feeling, image, thought, emotion or sensation.
29:08
Pain, hurt, anger, sadness, rejection, blame.
29:13
Anything sucked out, dragged out.
29:16
Anything you've been holding on to for the last few minutes, the
29:19
last few hours, the last few days, weeks, months, years, all
29:23
the way back to when you were a child.
29:29
Just imagine, only imagine just above the top of your head is
29:32
this beautiful energy which is filled with every positive
29:36
feeling, image, thought, emotions and sensation you've
29:39
ever experienced. Every positive feeling, image,
29:43
thought, emotion or sensation in a moment, it's going to fill you
29:47
up like a cup. It's just going to fill you up
29:49
from the tips of your toes to the top of your head, and it's
29:52
going to push out from the inside.
29:54
Those negative feelings, images, thoughts, emotions and
29:56
sensations. That magnetic force will pull
29:58
them out. It's in your feet now and in
30:01
your ankles. It's in your calves and your
30:04
knees. Every positive feeling, image,
30:07
thought, emotion or sensation, the love, the joy, the
30:09
happiness, the peace, the health, the confidence, the
30:12
success. It's in your thighs and your
30:16
hips and your stomach and your lower back, your chest, your
30:18
upper back, your shoulders, your hands and hands.
30:21
It's behind your neck, chin, all the way up to the top of your
30:25
head. Every positive feeling, image,
30:27
thought, emotion or sensation you've ever experienced.
30:31
And in that space, as it's pushing out from the inside,
30:35
those negative feelings, images, thoughts, emotions and
30:37
sensations and replacing them with the positive, with the
30:40
healthy, with the good, that magnetic source of energy is
30:44
pulling out even deeper ones. You need to do is just let them
30:49
go. As you do that, just imagine,
30:54
only imagine you drift off into a sleep and in that sleep you
30:57
dream. And in that dream you can find
31:01
yourself floating above, floating in space, just looking
31:05
down. Over Europe you can see Ireland
31:08
and Britain and France and Germany, Italy, Spain, Norway,
31:14
Sweden, Denver. See all the Blues of the waters
31:18
and the greens of the forests and the fields, the whites of
31:21
clouds and mountaintops, rounds of earth and sand.
31:27
You can drift back further in space and see the whole globe.
31:32
As you see the whole globe, you can see the part of the earth
31:35
and sun and the part of the earth and moon.
31:38
See the lights that shine from those cities and countries, and
31:42
see the whites of the North and South pole to the Arabian
31:47
deserts, the Blues of all the waters that surround our Earth,
31:51
that fill our Earth. See the countries coming in and
31:55
out of view. You can drift even further back
31:59
in space. You can be at the edge of the
32:02
Galaxy. You can see all the sun, the
32:04
moon, the stars. You can see all the other
32:08
planets. You'll notice how small the
32:10
Earth is. And as you notice how small the
32:14
Earth is, you can notice it's really hard to see, even see
32:16
Europe from here. It's so far away and it makes
32:19
you realize that as you look at things from a different
32:23
perspective, they change somehow and not as important as they
32:28
used to be, but between you and the earth.
32:32
Now you notice this massive archery target and you notice
32:36
those colour bands. And as you notice those colour
32:39
bands that surround it, you can also notice the bull's eye.
32:44
And in that bullseye, in the centre of it is all of the
32:47
useless and unnecessary emotional pain that you've been
32:50
holding on to. Any useless and unnecessary
32:54
emotional pain that you've been holding on to, in a moment
32:58
you'll be shot through just like an arrow, just like you're in
33:01
the hands of a master Archer. You're going to feel like you're
33:05
an arrow in that bulb being pulled back.
33:09
You're going to be shot straight through it, right through the
33:11
very core of it. You will be out the other side,
33:15
free from all of that useless and unnecessary emotional pain
33:20
forever. But be brave is you may re
33:25
experience that for a millisecond, but it will only be
33:28
a millisecond. Just feel yourself.
33:32
Now just imagine yourself. You're like an arrow in pull
33:35
back in the ball being pulled like a piece of elastic being
33:38
stretched all the way back, further and further slider and
33:47
all the way through out the other side, completely free.
33:51
Looking behind you, noticing that artery target has just
33:54
disappeared off into a black hole in space and all that
33:57
remains is you. Free floating, free floating,
34:01
light weightless. I'm just seeing this beautiful
34:05
mist ahead of you, a mist that's filled with every positive
34:09
feeling, image, thought, emotion, or sensation you've
34:11
ever experienced. So I'm going to take you to the
34:14
count of five to glide through that.
34:17
As you glide through it with every number, you will absorb in
34:20
every cell, in every neuron, those positive feelings, images,
34:25
thoughts, emotions, and sensations from your life when
34:29
just gliding through it. Now absorbing in every cell
34:33
every positive feeling, image, thought, emotion, all the love,
34:37
the joy, the happiness, the peace, the help, the confidence.
34:42
Two, it's twice as strong now in every cell and every neuron in
34:46
your central nervous system, in every part of your body and
34:49
every part of your mind. 3 it's four times stronger, times the
34:54
power, four times the force, four times the intensity in
34:57
every part of your body and mind. 4 It's eight times
35:01
stronger and only getting stronger. 5 It's 16 times
35:06
stronger. You come out, the other side is
35:09
32 times stronger in every cell, in every atom, in every neuron.
35:14
Lovejoy, happiness, peace, health, confidence can It's just
35:18
flowing through every part of your body and every part of your
35:21
mind, becoming the reality of who you are, reaching such a
35:29
force that it is unstoppable. But that is your new reality in
35:33
every single way. Just ahead of you.
35:39
We've seen this house that you find and wondering what there is
35:43
a house doing in space. But hey, it's a dream.
35:47
And as you dream, you step inside, you step into that house
35:51
just colliding over. Notice there's a worktop there.
35:55
And on that worktop is a pressure cooker.
35:58
Next to that pressure cooker is a bin.
36:00
And next to that bin is all those cleaning utensils.
36:04
But this is your pressure cooker.
36:08
You're the only one with permission to empty it.
36:11
You take that pressure cooker, you turn it upside down and
36:14
place it in the bin. As you place it in the bin, all
36:18
the contents that remain just flow into that bin.
36:23
As they flow into that bin, eventually you notice there's
36:26
all the little bits left at the side and stuck to the bottom.
36:30
And you use all the sprays and you use all the equipment just
36:35
to clean that, to make it thoroughly clean from the
36:37
inside. And it takes as long as it
36:40
takes. When it's fully clear, you
36:48
notice that on the outside is a switch switch.
36:56
You notice that that pressure cooker is actually plugged in
37:01
and you turn that switch to on. And as you turn that switch to
37:04
on, the red light comes on. And then you notice that that's
37:09
an auto clean function. And every night as you sleep, as
37:13
you go through that R.E.M. stay, as you sleep, as you dream, that
37:18
pressure cooker automatically empties itself.
37:20
From this moment forward, your unconscious mind just accepts.
37:25
But every night as you sleep, you process those emotions.
37:28
You let that pressure cooker empty each and every night that
37:32
you wake up the following morning energized and ready for
37:35
an absolutely amazing day stone. You drift all the way back out,
37:43
back out back into that weightlessness of space,
37:46
realizing that you're actually in a dream, in a beautiful,
37:50
peaceful, tranquil place where this all began.
37:53
And that might make force of energy that pulled from you
37:56
those negative feelings, images, thoughts, emotions and
37:59
sensations. It's disappeared now off into a
38:02
black hole in space. And all that remains is you,
38:05
filled with the positive, with the healthy, with the good.
38:10
As you begin to emerge in that place, you see yourself at the
38:15
top of those 10 steps, just radiating happiness and peace
38:18
and calm and powerful, and you start to run up those 10 steps.
38:25
You can see that smile on your face, one and 2-3 and four.
38:29
That twinkle in your eye, 5 and 6, radiating health, radiating
38:33
joy, radiating confidence. 7 and 8-9 and ten.
38:36
You are him and he is you in a moment as all of that becomes
38:44
your reality. In a moment, I come from
38:47
everyone I get to #5 you return to normal awareness and you will
38:51
feel absolutely brand new, ready for an amazing day ahead of you.
38:57
One reality bringing back with you an amazing new reality. 2IN
39:02
which you have let go. You've let go of so much stuff
39:05
and replaced it with the positive, with the healthy, with
39:07
the good. Three.
39:10
There's always three ways your unconscious mind will remind you
39:14
of joy, of happiness, of love, of peace, of health.
39:19
Then you define those in your day, each and every day Work as
39:24
it is all for you. You are the one doing the work
39:26
you truly deserve. Through that is your truth.
39:29
That is your reality. And at the next number, at the
39:32
rate and speed at which you've absorbed all of these
39:34
suggestions, when you are ready, and only when you're ready #5
39:39
come on back and feel you'll be brand new.
