Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside
0:09
access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing
0:12
genuine. Issues.
0:13
Brought to you by The Hypnotherapist, demanded by
0:16
celebrities, CEOs and even royalty, Adam Cox.
0:20
These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's
0:24
world famous Harley Street. So get yourself comfortable and
0:31
enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
0:39
Hi, it is Adam here, and you're about to listen to a weight loss
0:43
hypnosis session with a difference.
0:45
And that's because this particular hypnosis session
0:49
takes a principle from Japanese culture to help lose weight.
0:55
And I was working with a client that was slightly older, in
1:01
great shape for their age, looked much, much younger, but
1:05
they felt that they had put on about a stone.
1:08
And that's an English terminology that means about 6
1:12
or 7 kilos or around about 15 lbs.
1:15
And she wanted to lose that. But when she had successfully
1:19
lost weight in the past, it wasn't through dieting and it
1:23
wasn't by calorie counting and thinking about food.
1:26
It was feeling comfortable leaving food on their plate and
1:30
not really wanting to eat too much.
1:33
And there is a Japanese concept called harahashibu, or sometimes
1:39
it's pronounced harahashi bunmi. What it really means is.
1:45
To. Not continue eating while you're
1:49
full. So it has this idea that you
1:52
finish when you're 80% full, so that that lag time of eating for
1:58
your brain to recognize that you've had enough can catch up.
2:02
And you can translate that into a hypnotic suggestion of eat,
2:06
finish eating while you're still hungry, and to take pride in
2:09
leaving food on your. Plate, so that's.
2:12
One Japanese concept, basically, don't eat more than you need to.
2:17
It's really the the concept. It's very powerful concept.
2:20
So the hypnosis session takes this idea of Japanese culture
2:26
and seeing the slim physicality of the people of Japan by
2:31
following this concept. But the Japanese also have
2:35
another concept. I can't remember the actual
2:37
Japanese term, but I think it's actually in the hypnosis
2:39
session. But it's loosely translated as
2:43
lonely mouth. And in the West we would call
2:46
that emotional eating. We would call that eating from
2:48
Borden, eating from gratification eating because you
2:53
just feel like you're eating for gratification.
2:56
So it has that concept in there as well.
2:59
So if you've struggled following diets and if you've done
3:03
ridiculous things to try and lose weight and you gain it
3:05
again, I think you might get some value from this particular
3:08
session. Because at its core, it is a
3:10
very simple philosophy that takes this idea of eating only
3:16
what your body needs and to actually take pride in feeling
3:21
actual hunger. Not mouth hunger, but this
3:24
element of actual hunger that your body really needs nutrition
3:28
and energy. And then stopping eating while
3:32
you're still feeling hungry. And if you can cultivate that
3:35
habit, you're never going to gain weight and you're going to
3:38
lose weight to the required level for you and be able to
3:42
maintain that. Now, this session was created
3:45
for an individual. Some of the suggestions are
3:47
very, very tailored to the client that I was working with,
3:50
based on their past and times that they successfully made
3:55
great choices and certain things that resonated with them.
4:01
That might not be your situation, but at its core, it's
4:03
about losing weight through really sensible choices.
4:07
So if you do like the idea of a bespoke session created and
4:11
cultivated exactly for you, there will be a link in the
4:14
description where you can schedule a completely free
4:17
consultation call. We'll have a chat over Zoom, and
4:19
who knows, we might end up working together directly.
4:22
For now, though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you're
4:25
not going to be distracted or disturbed.
4:28
Relax. And enjoy the session.
4:48
Take a deep breath in and as you breathe in, breathe in that
4:58
resourceful feeling of calm and relaxation.
5:02
And as you exhale, just allow your eyelids to completely relax
5:09
and with your eyes closed, you start to become aware even more
5:16
so, of the sound of my voice breathing in relaxation and
5:28
exhaling tension. Each breath allows you to drift
5:40
even deeper. Relax.
5:41
Now that's in. Scan your body for any clues of
5:51
worry, stress or tension, but mainly any pressure.
6:00
Pressure of what you should be doing, what you should look
6:04
like. And every time from this point
6:09
forward you hear the word should, your brain will
6:16
naturally evolve it to the word could.
6:25
What could you look like? What could you eat?
6:32
Notice how should. It's connected to feelings of
6:36
judgement, coercion, and shame, and could is linked to feelings
6:44
of possibility, empowerment, and choice.
6:56
I want you to imagine breathing in the essence of possibility,
7:02
and as you exhale, release all of those echoes of judgement.
7:12
Quite often, they're just other people's rules that come from
7:18
their own insecurities. As you release those shoulds and
7:25
breathe in those coulds, allow your body to drift deeper and
7:33
deeper. Relaxed breathing and
7:39
relaxation. Exhaling tension and I want you
7:43
to imagine a bookshelf, and on that bookshelf is a book of
7:52
ancient Egypt. I want you to imagine finding a
7:59
comfy chair and looking through pictures of the ancient
8:06
pyramids. Hieroglyphics, tombs deep inside
8:16
a pyramid. And as you read those pages and
8:22
look at those images, I want you to do what naturally happens
8:27
when you're lost in thought with a good book.
8:33
Isn't it true that your mind goes on a wonderful adventure,
8:40
and as you imagine the pages turning without you realizing, I
8:46
wonder if you could imagine drifting all the way back to
8:51
ancient Egypt. Imagine yourself in an ancient
8:57
temple, staring at a wall of hieroglyphics.
9:06
I want you to get a sense of the hieroglyphics represent wisdom,
9:13
just as your past contains wisdom and the world contains
9:22
wisdom. As you stare into the
9:26
hieroglyphics, I want you to imagine drifting off to a dream
9:32
within a dream. Imagine drifting off to ancient
9:39
Japan. I want you to see villages,
9:44
temples, the traditional robes and dress wear perhaps of
9:54
ordinary people, perhaps from hundreds of years ago there in
10:01
Japan. And I want you to notice just
10:07
how slim, toned and healthy everyone looks.
10:15
Always like you're stepping back in time.
10:18
And I want you to recall that at this point in history, there was
10:27
no supermarket with processed foods.
10:32
Back then, it was natural to have two or three meals a day
10:39
full of nutrients. I don't want you to get a sense
10:44
that the Japanese would have cultural beliefs and rules that
10:55
subtly shifted them to feel that it was effortless to make good
11:05
choices with what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat.
11:16
And I want you to imagine there in Japan, finding a temple.
11:24
And I want you to imagine what it would be like to hold a yoga
11:29
pose, the kind of yoga pose that is not strenuous, kind of pose
11:36
that you could stay in for a while in deep, deep relaxation.
11:43
And when you could imagine being in that temple, holding that
11:52
posture, drifting deep within your imagination, just let me
12:00
know by nodding your head. That's it.
12:09
And I want you to notice how you're breathing in and
12:13
breathing out, your body settling, feeling that rhythm,
12:21
that pace with each outward breath.
12:26
You can let go of any unnecessary effort, believing
12:31
that the body already knows how to regulate itself, allowing it
12:39
to return to what is natural. And as you continue to breathe
12:45
comfortably, I'd like you to imagine your mind becoming
12:50
curious. Curious in that gentle,
12:55
observational way. Because somewhere in your past
13:02
there was a time when eating felt simple, effortless.
13:12
A time when your body naturally found its slim, healthy rhythm.
13:23
And you don't need to try to remember it.
13:28
Just allow your unconscious mind to guide you back to that
13:35
version of you. And when you drift back to that
13:41
moment, whether it's observing yourself like you're someone
13:46
else or back in that version of you that time, let me know by
13:55
nodding your head. Perhaps you notice where you
14:00
were, what your body felt like, how hunger and fullness were
14:06
easy signals rather than problems to solve.
14:15
So really connect into that memory now and you may begin to
14:20
notice something that your body preferred less.
14:29
Not through force, rules or coercion, it just preferred it
14:36
that way. And maybe you can remember how
14:40
small abortions felt more satisfying, how food was enjoyed
14:48
more when it was eaten slowly, how the flavors, the sensation,
14:57
the taste increased rather than decreased.
15:06
And maybe there's truth there that the smaller the portion,
15:12
the more present you were. That when there was less, the
15:21
more aware you became, the more pleasure you extracted from each
15:31
bite, every time you chewed. Because the pleasure for food is
15:39
not in your stomach or your belly, it's on your taste buds.
15:48
I want you to come to a conclusion.
15:53
But if you eat half as much, but allow it to spend twice the time
15:59
in your mouth before you swallow, it means you get twice
16:06
the pleasure for half the amount.
16:10
Which means you can lose weight and enjoy the experience even
16:16
more. And your nervous system
16:21
remembers this, how each bite was chosen, each mouthful was
16:29
appreciated, and satisfaction arrived before discomfort ever
16:37
could. Your body learned that less is
16:43
more, and that knowledge, that wisdom, that insight is still
16:51
soared, stored safely within you, and now allow a new
17:03
understanding to settle, to take root.
17:08
How? Your stomach does not need to be
17:10
stretched to feel satisfied. It simply needs time.
17:21
The ancient Japanese knew that it takes about 20 minutes for
17:29
signals to rise naturally from body to brain, calmly, clearly.
17:38
And I want you to imagine what it would feel like that you
17:43
naturally begin to stop eating. Not when you're full, but when
17:50
you're 80% full, when it's still comfortable, light, when you're
17:58
still energized, maybe even still feeling a little hungry.
18:06
Not staff, not heavy, just complete.
18:12
And what if there's a quiet pride that comes with this?
18:16
A sense of intelligence, an act of self love, of self respect.
18:23
And I want you to imagine eating that way and notice how good it
18:32
feels to leave food on your plate.
18:38
Not as deprivation and not as waste, but as proof that you
18:46
listened. And those ancient Japanese
18:56
beyond the walls of the temple would call that Hara Hashibu.
19:07
And you don't need to remember the words to remember the
19:09
concept, to finish while still feeling hungry, to imagine your
19:18
stomach 80% full before stopping.
19:26
And if that was their intention, they were vigilant against the
19:32
opposite. The Japanese knew of something
19:43
that they called Kuchi Sabishi. In English.
19:53
We would know it as lonely mouth eating, and I want you to get a
20:01
sense of what that could mean. I want you to recall times that
20:07
you were snacking when you weren't hungry and maybe you
20:12
were bored. Maybe it was just out of habit,
20:17
but there was no actual need to eat in that moment.
20:24
So now allow your mind to become aware of the difference between
20:30
true hunger that comes from the body and that fake hunger that
20:38
comes from the mouth. Sometimes they're hidden like
20:44
Trojan horses, in habits that once masqueraded as hunger,
20:51
boredom, and routine. But once you start thinking of
20:56
it as lonely mouth eating, you begin to feel strangely immune.
21:08
Because when your body isn't hungry, food simply doesn't call
21:13
to you in the same way. Instead, you notice choice
21:20
returning. Because if your mouth wants
21:25
stimulation, you might stretch, move, breathe, step outside, or
21:33
redirect that energy into something purposeful.
21:40
And I don't know if this has already happened, happening, or
21:44
about to happen, but before you know it, you may discover that
21:52
eating only happens when hunger is real, and when it does, it is
21:59
clean, nourishing and satisfying.
22:05
Feel that you are activating a natural attraction to high
22:11
nutrition foods. The ancient Egyptians didn't
22:19
have supermarkets and processed food, and neither did the
22:24
ancient Japanese. They had real food made from
22:31
real ingredients. And what if your body is
22:35
starting to ask for foods like that?
22:40
Fresh vegetables, fruits, salads, clean, vibrant
22:48
nutrition. And not because you should, but
22:54
more because they feel good while you're eating them and
22:59
more importantly, after you eat them.
23:05
Because you know, there's some foods that can feel good when
23:08
you eat them, but they make you feel regret, shame or guilt
23:14
after. But can you recall one time when
23:19
you had a salad and you regretted it after?
23:26
I want you to get a sense that real nutrition rewards you twice
23:31
while you're eating, and then the feeling of feeling good
23:36
after that time when your energy improves, your digestion feels
23:43
calm, like your body is rewarding you immediately.
23:52
The body is an artist of adaptation and the more of these
23:59
high nutrition foods you eat, the more your taste adapts,
24:05
finding pleasure in freshness, in colour, in vitality.
24:16
Before we leave this temple in your imagination, I'd like you
24:21
to imagine a moment in the near future.
24:27
A time when, whether it's in a shop window or a full length
24:33
mirror, you just catch your reflection and something
24:38
registers instantly. You look slimmer, lighter.
24:45
You're smiling, more aligned. Or maybe you're hearing
24:51
compliments, perhaps from people you know, perhaps from
24:56
strangers. And this time, rather than your
25:01
instant reaction to reject them, you believe them.
25:06
You accept them not with surprise, but with recognition,
25:14
almost like the outside world is matching how you feel inside.
25:24
What if movement feels energizing now?
25:29
Yoga, walking, gentle activity that feels good rather than
25:35
forced. You want to do this.
25:39
You don't have to do this because your body wants to move,
25:43
because it enjoys itself again. And I want you to get a feeling
25:52
that structure doesn't confine you, it supports you, That lists
25:59
feel satisfying, planning feels grounding, and ticking things
26:07
off releases a sense of completion.
26:12
You get your dopamine from doing things that improve your life
26:19
rather than things that just give you temporary
26:22
gratification. And each small action reinforces
26:27
momentum, each completed task build self trust, and more and
26:34
more you're feeling that you are someone who follows through
26:39
calmly, consistently. I want you to imagine yourself
26:48
even further in the future, maybe months, maybe a year from
26:54
now. Observe yourself slim, healthy
26:58
and confident. And notice the way you walk.
27:04
Notice how there's a spring in your step, a lightness that
27:08
wasn't there before, where life feels more open, more playful,
27:15
more alive. And this isn't through effort,
27:20
this is through alignment. That your body remembers how to
27:26
be slim and your mind remembers how to eat naturally.
27:33
And from this point forward, it's that memory that will guide
27:38
you automatically. And as you continue your day,
27:45
these changes integrate quietly, effortlessly.
27:50
They're in the background because this is not something
27:55
you are doing. This is something you are
28:00
returning to. I want you to imagine as you
28:06
leave that Japanese temple, seeing someone your age, slim,
28:16
vibrant, healthy, knowing, knowing that they eat up to that
28:24
80%, feeling fallen. Stop while they're still hungry.
28:31
Imagine floating back back to ancient Eve Egypt and and
28:36
looking into those hieroglyphics and seeing an image there in the
28:44
hieroglyphics. A confident, elegant woman.
28:53
See yourself in the hieroglyphics and know there is
28:56
ancient wisdom within you and then float back, almost like
29:02
through the pages of a book and imagine seeing the same
29:07
hieroglyphics there on a page of a history book. close the book,
29:12
return it to the shelf, and allow yourself to float back to
29:17
the here and the now. Very soon I will count from 1:00
29:22
to 10:00 to awaken you. And you will awaken feeling
29:26
resourceful, vibrant with a new lease of life.
29:31
So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
29:36
nose. Wiggle your fingers, wiggle your
29:40
toes, connect and calibrate into the here and the now as I now
29:46
count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
29:50
Starting to count 123 Waking up 456.
29:55
More alert 7-8 Open your eyes. Open your eyes 910.
30:02
Wide awake, Wide awake. Wide awake.
