0:00
Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside
0:03
access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing genuine
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.
0:43
Hi, it's Adam here. And you're about to listen to a
0:46
hypnosis session all about living a dream life.
0:51
And I know that term gets thrown around quite a bit, but I was
0:56
working with a client that was very, very competent, very
1:00
intelligent, but had found themselves stuck in a bit of a
1:04
rut where they can do certain things, they could get paid for
1:08
certain things, but they weren't passionate about the things that
1:11
they were doing. And this session, he uses
1:16
elements of regression to go back to a time where they felt
1:20
full of energy, full of enthusiasm, full of passion,
1:23
full of optimism to harness that.
1:26
And in NLP, we would call that anchoring.
1:29
We want to identify that resourceful state, anchor that
1:32
state and then enable it to be triggered, but also future paced
1:37
at a context where it would be helpful.
1:41
And then there's an element of timeline therapy.
1:44
This particular client had a time when they felt very
1:49
optimistic at a time when they were in Vegas.
1:51
And in that time when they were in Vegas, it was there for a
1:55
mastermind to pick the brains of people, get all these different
1:59
strategies. So they felt optimistic there.
2:01
But while they were there, they met up with a friend that was
2:04
working with a very famous musician that had a mansion in
2:08
Vegas. So when they were in Vegas, they
2:11
got a sense of the randomness, but also the opportunities of
2:17
what can happen when people really pursue a dream and, and
2:20
impact the world. So I use that mansion as part of
2:24
a, a symbol in many ways to do some timeline therapy.
2:29
And the timeline therapy enables them to experience three
2:33
different futures. So it's not quite like Scrooge
2:37
in A Christmas Carol where it's kind of like the past, the
2:40
present and the future. This is 3 different futures.
2:44
Door 1 represents the future of the status quo, and the status
2:48
quo is things going on as they have been going.
2:52
And it's really important that you put that on the table
2:55
because a great philosophy is that what you're not changing,
2:59
you're choosing. And most people don't realize
3:01
that if they just continue doing what they're doing, that that
3:04
also isn't a choice. It is, of course, a choice to
3:07
remain the same. So Door 1 is the same.
3:11
It's their life as it is, continuing in that way, but
3:14
starting to notice the consequences of that life with
3:18
less passion, less enthusiasm. Door 2 is pretty much their life
3:24
as it is, but with certain changes that would give them the
3:28
ability to have more enthusiasm, more passion.
3:33
Obviously their income would go up because when you're more
3:35
passionate and enthusiastic about something, you do it with
3:38
more intensity. You think about it more.
3:42
You tend to work with clients or or people in a different way
3:45
when you've got that level of enthusiasm.
3:47
So that's door #2 is life as it is, but with the elevated
3:52
enthusiasm and passion. And then Door 3 represents this
3:56
Rockstar life, like if they took some real risks, if they did
4:00
some real big changes, if they really leaned into that dream
4:04
that they always had, what would that look like?
4:08
And what's important is to entertain the possibility that
4:12
what if Door 2 becomes a stepping stone to door three,
4:16
that actually, if you take these wild risks, it can go well.
4:21
But that's the equivalent of being in Vegas and putting your
4:23
whole life savings on red and hoping that you double your
4:27
money. That's a risky thing to do.
4:29
So improving your life, having the fortress, having that
4:32
security, and then taking risks to get the upside could be a
4:37
more strategic way of doing things.
4:39
And I don't make the choice for the client.
4:41
I just give them the options. They can stay the same.
4:44
They can make some small changes, or they can make some
4:47
small changes that can lead to radical changes that would give
4:49
them something that they consider a more fulfilling life
4:53
for them. So there's a bit going on, but
4:56
because it uses metaphor, it uses symbolism, it uses timeline
5:01
therapy. This would also be beneficial
5:04
that even if you didn't visit a Rockstarz mansion in in Vegas,
5:09
it's just a symbol for something that represents the the
5:13
trappings of success, the benefits of pursuing a dream.
5:17
So there probably has been a time in your past where you felt
5:20
very optimistic and very enthusiastic.
5:22
Great. We can harness that.
5:24
And there probably is an idea of what your life looks like if you
5:28
don't change what it looks like, if there's more passion.
5:31
And what if it looks like if you took some real risks and and
5:35
pursued your dream. Life doesn't have to be being a
5:38
Rockstar. That's just a metaphor for
5:41
pursuing that thing that you kind of have an idea would be an
5:46
amazing life for you. It was created for an individual
5:51
client. If you like the idea of working
5:52
with me directly, there will be a link in the description where
5:55
you can schedule a free consultation course to explore
5:58
working with me. You don't have to do that.
6:00
You can just enjoy all of the free content that I I put out
6:04
there in the world. But if you like the idea of
6:05
working with me, that's how you would do it.
6:07
Go into the description, book that free consultation call for
6:10
now. And apologies.
6:12
By the way, I've got a bit of a croaky voice, so if you hear my
6:15
voice quaver a little bit Again, I do a lot of recordings, but
6:19
all the recordings are real client sessions.
6:21
So I can't just decide not to see a client because I've got a
6:24
bit of a croaky voice. So they are authentic, they are
6:27
real. So with that in mind, find a
6:31
quiet, comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
6:33
Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in and as you
7:24
breathe in, breathe in that slow, long, relaxing breath and
7:32
as you exhale, that's it. Just allow your eyelids to
7:35
close, and as they close, feel a sense of release, breathing and
7:43
relaxation and exhaling tension. That's it.
7:49
And as you breathe in, breathe in deeper than you normally
7:57
would. And as you exhale, just exhale
8:02
for longer, breathing in that wonderful feeling of resourceful
8:08
relaxation and releasing tension on that outward breath.
8:16
I want you to scan your body for
8:29
any clues of tension, stress. It might be tightness.
8:36
It might be a sensation of aches.
8:44
When a muscle is tense for a long period of time, it can feel
8:49
tight or sore, almost like you're scanning your body from
8:56
the very top of your head all the way down.
9:00
Just check if there's any tension in your forehead, around
9:04
your temple, around your mouth, your jaw, and each time you
9:13
detect even an echo of tension, just decide on that outward
9:20
breath that it can be released. Doesn't have to be released, it
9:28
just can be released. And then scan lower, perhaps
9:34
your neck and your shoulders. I want you to imagine a
9:43
colourful inflatable balloon, kind of balloon that a small
9:49
child might hold on a piece of string and just imagine how it
9:56
would feel as if your head was as light as that inflatable
10:01
balloon, almost like it's floating, and just release any
10:06
tension around your neck and your shoulders because your head
10:11
can just support itself. That's it.
10:17
And then scan down and maybe there's tightness in a bicep or
10:23
a forearm. Just allow your arms to feel
10:27
limp, loose and heavy like the limbs of a puppet with no
10:32
string. That's it.
10:39
Another clue of tension is your breathing.
10:43
Shallow breaths from your chest mean that there are subtle
10:47
muscles that are tight that don't need to be tight.
10:50
So take a really long outward breath, creating a vacuum in
10:58
your diaphragm, and then when you breathe in, feel like you're
11:05
breathing from the belly, not from the chest, as you allow all
11:10
the muscles around everything connected to breathing to relax
11:17
from your nostrils, your mouth, your windpipe, your chest, all
11:23
the way down into your diaphragm.
11:25
I want you to get to that rhythm where the breathing is happening
11:30
for you. You don't need to force a breath
11:34
in or force a breath out. Breathing's long, low, relaxing
11:42
breaths. Deeper and deeper down.
11:46
That's it. But you don't have to do
11:49
anything. Your unconscious already knows
11:53
how to breathe. You don't have to remember how
11:57
to breathe when you sleep. So just imagine having the most
12:04
relaxing sleep possible. Long, slow, deep breaths.
12:09
That's it. And the deeper you breathe, the
12:15
more relaxed you become. And the more relaxed you become,
12:20
the deeper you breathe. And as your body relaxes, your
12:27
imagination awakens. And I want you to imagine the
12:34
bright lights of Vegas. Those bright lights could be the
12:43
colourful lights, the bright light of the sun, and I want you
12:50
to see that skyline like you're an adventurous bird flying in
12:57
the sky. But I want you to seek out the
13:06
two tallest buildings there, in the centre of the Strip, not
13:13
near the Old Town, near the Stratosphere.
13:15
I'm talking about the centre of the Strip, near the Bellagio.
13:23
I want you to see the Vidara and the Aria, those two large
13:30
reflective buildings just getting higher and higher and
13:36
higher. I want you to imagine what it
13:40
would be like to be a bird flying up to the very top of one
13:45
of those buildings, maybe the suite in the Verdara or an
13:53
elegant room in the Aria. And when you find the right one,
13:59
just imagine being that bird that can fly through that
14:01
window. Couldn't happen in reality, but
14:06
this is just your imagination and the moment you fly through
14:12
the window, you become you, but not you.
14:21
On a day when you're feeling tired, stressed or worried, Feel
14:27
like you. You're most relaxed and
14:31
optimistic. I want you to imagine walking
14:46
around that place and there's no one else but you.
14:51
This whole suite is for you. I want you to see the stylish,
15:00
elegant decor, the furniture, notice the quietness, comfort of
15:13
that air conditioning, and I want you to see the incredible
15:19
views through those tinted glass that enable you to see almost
15:29
all of Vegas. That's it.
15:35
And I want you to imagine it was a piece of furniture that you
15:45
could sit on or lie on that enables you to look out at that
15:51
impressive skyline. The skyline of not just the
15:57
buildings, people below, cars and the freeway, but off in the
16:06
distance, deserts and mountains. You can see so much and maybe
16:16
you see a comfortable sofa, a reclining chair, or even a bed
16:22
with a view. Just decide to make yourself
16:26
relaxed on that piece of furniture, positioning your body
16:31
in a way where you can feel relaxed.
16:35
But see that view when you're at that place.
16:40
Let me know about nodding your head.
16:45
And just imagine allowing this pair, this sofa, this chair to
16:51
take on all of your weight. Feel that you're sinking deeper
16:56
down into that furniture, feeling so relaxed that you
17:01
don't need any tension anywhere in your body.
17:06
So don't be surprised if your jaw loosens, your arms and legs
17:11
feel heavier and heavier. You're sleeping energy starts to
17:18
become activated. You know that energy, the energy
17:25
of just before you go to sleep or your eyelids feel heavy.
17:35
Sometimes your head nods forward.
17:40
That's it, Feeling deeper and deeper, relaxed.
17:46
And then imagine drifting off into a dreamlike sleep.
17:54
And in that dreamlike sleep, I want you to imagine travelling
17:59
back in time to a time in your past where you felt full of
18:10
optimistic vibrations, that kind of positive, where you just know
18:18
things are going to work out fine.
18:23
A place where you had deep conviction in your abilities,
18:28
motivation and desire to move forward.
18:34
Maybe there was a time that it felt like a fresh start, a new
18:41
chapter. I want you to go back to that
18:45
memory, seeing how you were back then, paying attention to your
18:52
vibe. And there are clues to a vibe,
18:59
how you smile, how you breathe, glistening in your eyes and
19:06
energy in your voice. And if you can see that time in
19:11
the past where you vibrated that wonderful, resourceful energy,
19:16
let me know by nodding your head.
19:21
Then imagine playing the game we play as children of mimicry.
19:27
I want you to mimic that version of you.
19:31
Breathe the way they're breathing, smile the way they're
19:35
smiling. Have the same level of energy.
19:45
Mimic everything about them, how tense they are.
19:52
When you feel you've got as close to it as you can, then
19:54
step into that version of you like a final puzzle piece.
20:03
Being placed in that perfect spot on the puzzle board.
20:09
That's it. And I want you to feel you are
20:15
reawakening all of the neural pathways connected to this
20:21
vibration of energy. Call it a cocktail, a concoction
20:32
of wonderful resources, the right amount of optimism,
20:38
belief, motivation. I want you to feel then you are
20:47
activating this concoction within you now.
20:56
And from this place it's easy to make decisions because your
21:02
standards are higher and you have belief that things will be
21:06
fine. It's easy to say no to those
21:12
things that don't align with who you are and what you want.
21:19
I want you to imagine a shape somewhere in your body that is a
21:27
representation of this feeling. Think of a three-dimensional
21:32
shape, like a sphere, a cube, a pyramid.
21:40
I don't want you to point to that location of where it feels
21:43
like it is this feeling of vibration.
21:49
That's it. Make that shape colourful and
21:54
then make it glow. And then notice.
22:01
Notice if it moves, because when people find a vibration, it's
22:09
normally a dynamic motion like a rotation or pulsation, a
22:16
frequency. And if the shape is moving, just
22:21
make it move that way, faster, as fast as it can, before you
22:28
get diminishing returns. Make it glow bigger, vibrate
22:33
more. And whenever you think of that
22:39
shape in that color, vibrating in that way, in that location,
22:44
you will reactivate this wonderful feeling, a feeling of
22:52
reservoirful optimism, a vibration of positivity.
23:08
Feel that wonderful feeling and keep that glowing, moving shape
23:12
with you as you imagine what it would be like to be teleported
23:21
to the mansion of a rock star, but no one else is there.
23:28
You've got the whole place to yourself.
23:33
And because it's a mansion, there's big rooms and many
23:39
rooms, and I want you to imagine finding the largest room.
23:47
And maybe, maybe this room represents what it feels like to
23:57
pursue a dream because a rock star ignored what they should
24:03
do. They did what they wanted to do,
24:08
they leaned into their passion, they became highly competent.
24:14
They lived their dream. Why is it that children say they
24:22
want to be rock stars and movie stars, footballers and athletes,
24:31
but many of them end up doing things that they should do?
24:37
We're told to do, not what they wanted to do.
24:44
And in this place of passion and dreams, I want you to imagine
24:49
there is a wall with three doors.
24:55
Imagine standing in front of the first door.
24:57
And when you're standing in front of that first door, let me
25:03
know by nodding your head. And these could just be wooden
25:08
doors, but this is the mansion of a rock star.
25:15
They could be jewel encrusted doors.
25:20
They could be made of mirrors. You get to decide.
25:25
But the first door represents your life as it is now,
25:31
continuing with the status quo. This is what happens if you
25:39
carry on as you have been. As you open the door and walk
25:45
through, you see yourself like you're someone else, carrying on
25:50
with the life as you have been living it.
25:54
See the level of avoidance, the self sabotage, the apathy of
26:05
having all the knowledge but not the passion.
26:10
See that you can get by. See that life is OK, but see
26:17
something missing. As the months turn into years,
26:23
you're smiling less, you're settling more.
26:31
You can consider this an OK life, but you start to question
26:40
whether an OK life is OK for you.
26:50
See where it leads to kind of friendships, relationships,
26:57
quality of life. Do you wake up each day with a
27:02
spring in your stare, or do you just get by?
27:11
And sometimes seeing yourself like someone else makes it so
27:17
easy to know what to change. There's people you've known,
27:22
friends and family members. Their life isn't right and it
27:28
seems strange to you because if you were them for a week, you
27:31
would change their life. But they don't see it because
27:36
they're in it. So as you start to see your life
27:41
as it is carrying on, don't be surprised if it becomes obvious
27:48
what to change. Things you have been doing that
27:53
you don't want to do anymore, and things you're not doing that
27:59
you will start doing not because you have to, because you want
28:05
to. Real value of seeing life as it
28:11
is is not to keep it that way, but to know what to keep and
28:18
what to change. And if you feel you've extracted
28:24
that inside, let me know by nodding your head.
28:27
That's it. To see that version of you
28:30
walking backwards through that same first door and find
28:35
yourself in that Rockstarz mansion, this time standing in
28:40
front of the second door And the second door represents your life
28:52
as it is now, with added passion and enthusiasm.
28:59
This isn't everything changes. This is you're adding the
29:06
essence, passion and enthusiasm. You may be living in the same
29:12
place, doing the same kind of things, but you're doing it with
29:15
a different vibration, a different energy, a different
29:20
intensity. This is a future of tiny tweaks,
29:28
but the right tweaks not shaking up your whole life, changing
29:33
what is necessary to make it so much more fulfilling, so much
29:40
more empowering for you to start to walk through that second door
29:51
and again see yourself like you're someone else.
29:55
But notice your vibration is different.
29:57
Notice that shape glowing in that location, vibrating in that
30:02
location. A lot of your life is the same,
30:08
but with a different intensity, a different energy.
30:12
Small changes at first. Sometimes small changes can take
30:19
you to very different places. If you are on a boat in the sea
30:28
and you changed the direction the boat was travelling by just
30:33
one degree, after a year or two you'd be in an entirely
30:40
different part of the world. A small change can lead to
30:45
magical differences to look for what is slightly different.
30:55
Maybe it's how you think about what you're doing.
30:59
Maybe it's doing it from a place of thinking of the impact you
31:04
will make beyond the benefit to you.
31:08
The benefit becomes the side effect, not the function.
31:13
Maybe it's creativity. There's just more ideas
31:19
happening in this future. Maybe you're taking more risks.
31:26
Maybe you believe in yourself more.
31:31
See that futurist Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months,
31:35
months turn into years. And notice you can tell you're
31:41
happier in this future. You're impacting the world more
31:46
in this future. And some people believe that
31:53
income is a reflection of the value you create in the world.
32:00
And because you're creating more value in the world, in this
32:03
future, see yourself with a higher income, a better quality
32:08
of life. The money you make is evidence
32:16
you're doing something important, which empowers you to
32:22
make you want to do it even more.
32:28
And if this future seems more appealing, more desirable, more
32:31
fulfilling, let me know about nodding your head.
32:36
Step into that version of you, just for a moment, just to feel
32:41
how good it feels. Notice that vibration is still
32:47
there, perhaps even more intense now, like trying on a piece of
32:53
item in a clothing store. You're testing it to see if you
32:57
like it, and if you like it now you know.
32:59
And then imagine walking backwards through the second
33:03
door and now standing in front of the third door in this
33:07
Rockstarz mansion. And the third door.
33:14
Let's call this a wild card. Let's call it shaking things up.
33:21
This is a future not of small changes, but of radical changes.
33:29
Big risks haul in, doing something that could lead you to
33:37
a very different place. But it is a future even more
33:42
fulfilment, even more passion, even more impact.
33:51
So imagine walking through that third door, seeing yourself like
33:55
you're someone else, seeing that future.
34:01
Maybe it's something like a whole different career for you,
34:05
a different business. Maybe you're living in a
34:10
different part of the world. Maybe there's a different way of
34:14
working, of being. Maybe you look different.
34:20
Consider this an identity shift. This is the version you were
34:25
always meant to be. You don't need permission to be
34:30
this person, you can just decide it.
34:35
This is the most authentic, true, empowered, emboldened you,
34:46
the version of you with the most passion, the most enthusiasm,
34:50
creating the most impact for the world.

This is the Rockstar version of you.
35:01
And you don't need to be a Rockstar to be a Rockstar of
35:03
what you do and get a sense of what this looks like.
35:11
You don't need to know all the details because the details
35:13
don't exist, just an essence of what it could be.
35:19
You come to a conclusion. What if door 2 is a bridge to
35:29
door 3? Imagine walking back through
35:35
door three with what feels like an easy choice.
35:43
You can continue with life as it is.
35:48
You can make changes that make you feel more passionate, to
35:52
create a runway, A springboard into what could be your dream
35:58
life. It's time to leave this
36:04
Rockstarz mansion. Finding yourself back there in a
36:08
high rise hotel, looking out over Vegas and deciding it's
36:13
time to leave that place. Coming back to the present, so
36:18
take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
36:21
nose. Wiggle your fingers and wiggle
36:25
your toes. That's in as I now count from
36:28
1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you starting to count. 123 waking up
36:35
456 more alert 7 eights. Open your eyes, open your eyes.
36:40
910 wide awake, wide awake, wide awake.
