• 0:43
  Hi. Adam here.
• 0:45
  And you're about to listen to a hypnosis session that is
• 0:49
  designed to break a habit. And it's a very specific habit
• 0:53
  of nail biting and nail chewing. And I was working with a very
• 0:58
  successful client that really took pride in their appearance
• 1:03
  and their standard of living. And the certain word that I knew
• 1:08
  would be an emotional leverage point for them was the word
• 1:11
  elegance. Because the one thing that
• 1:14
  didn't quite fit with their personality, their persona, and
• 1:18
  just the way they presented themselves was the chewing of
• 1:21
  the nails. And it was an automatic habit
• 1:23
  that they had had for many, many years.
• 1:26
  So in this hypnosis session, there is an element of
• 1:29
  disassociation away from the actual desire or thought of
• 1:35
  chewing an ale and then linking it to the idea of what they
• 1:40
  really are at their core. And they took pride in elegance
• 1:44
  and discernment. Elegance generally is high
• 1:46
  standards, and discernment is about making really good
• 1:49
  decisions. So those two things can
• 1:52
  inextricably be linked to that element of choosing not to chew
• 1:59
  their nails. Now, even though that was the
• 2:02
  habit of this particular client, the principles in this session
• 2:06
  are fairly universal at breaking any habits.
• 2:09
  If you have a habit that you don't want to have any more than
• 2:12
  this session might be really useful.
• 2:14
  But equally, there might be elements that aren't quite right
• 2:18
  in this one, because fundamentally, it's about
• 2:20
  chewing and biting nails. So if you do like the idea of
• 2:25
  working with me directly, there will be a link in the
• 2:27
  description where you can schedule a completely free
• 2:30
  consultation call to explore working with me, and then we can
• 2:33
  have a chat to see if I'm the right therapist to work with you
• 2:36
  and your specific habit that you might want to break.
• 2:39
  For now though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
• 2:42
  won't be disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 3:25
  Take. A deep.
• 3:26
  Breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in that slow,
• 3:33
  relaxing breath. And as you exhale, just release
• 3:39
  any tension around your eyelids so that with your eyes closed,
• 3:46
  your attention goes inward, to the sound of my voice and to
• 3:55
  your own thoughts. Just breathing in and breathing
• 3:59
  out, with each breath taking you deeper and deeper, relaxed as
• 4:09
  you allow your breath to find a new rhythm.
• 4:14
  Slow, long and deep breaths. That's it.
• 4:19
  Almost like you're breathing effortlessly.
• 4:22
  That's it. Slower and deeper with each
• 4:27
  breath taking you deeper and deeper, Relaxed.
• 4:40
  And the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you become.
• 4:44
  And the more relaxed you become, the deeper you breathe, that's
• 4:52
  it, more and more relaxed, arms and legs feeling limp and loose
• 4:56
  and heavy. And I want you to use the power
• 5:01
  of your imagination to think of a comfy sofa and a footstool and
• 5:09
  just imagine how good it would feel to be in a relaxed,
• 5:16
  comfortable posture there on that sofa with that footstool.
• 5:23
  Breathe the way you would breathe if you were relaxed
• 5:26
  after a nice meal. Maybe ATV on in the background.
• 5:33
  Get to that place of comfort, relaxation, the kind of place
• 5:41
  where you do things without thinking.
• 5:47
  Your awareness drifts inwards. This is your time, A time for
• 5:55
  change, a time to reset an old pattern that doesn't align with
• 6:04
  who you really are. It's been an anomaly, an
• 6:11
  outlier, A contradiction to who you really are.
• 6:21
  As your body relaxes, your mind opens and awakens.
• 6:27
  As your imagination becomes more powerful, new ideas begin to
• 6:36
  take root. Ideas of refinement and
• 6:42
  elegance, of confidence and value.
• 6:47
  Ideas of admiration, not directed outward but inward.
• 6:57
  I want you to imagine how you would feel if you were given a
• 7:05
  difficult dilemma. I want you to imagine thinking
• 7:10
  of a very valuable watch. Maybe see it on your wrist.
• 7:19
  Just imagine some omnipotent force giving you a difficult
• 7:26
  decision. You either lose the watch or you
• 7:35
  lose all of your fingernails and they never grow back.
• 7:41
  Both are undesirable, but you have to choose one.
• 7:49
  And if you know what you would choose, let me know by nodding
• 7:52
  your head. And this is evidence that you
• 7:59
  value your fingernails to a higher level than something else
• 8:05
  that you value highly. And for a while, you've been
• 8:13
  treating unconsciously these valuable, precious things like
• 8:22
  they're worthless. But they haven't been worthless.
• 8:31
  There is someone in the world that has a valuable watch buried
• 8:39
  at the bottom of a drawer. Never worn, never cleaned, never
• 8:46
  maintained, never admired. But the value of that watch does
• 8:53
  not change just because the owner doesn't value it.
• 9:00
  The watch retains its value. And I want you to think that
• 9:08
  your nails have been underappreciated, and it's time
• 9:14
  to make up for that lost time, to give them all of that
• 9:19
  admiration and appreciation that they've been missing out on.
• 9:32
  I want you to think that that version of you that was chewing
• 9:37
  your nails, biting your nails, wasn't doing it because it felt
• 9:42
  so good. And that version of you wasn't
• 9:46
  doing it because you wanted to destroy something valuable.
• 9:51
  It was just a familiar behaviour that you were doing so often.
• 9:59
  It felt comfortable to do it again.
• 10:04
  But I want you to decide that version of you.
• 10:11
  It's time to update the way that you think of those nails and I
• 10:21
  want you to bring forward the version of you that appreciates
• 10:26
  your watch, is concerned, concerned for its safety.
• 10:36
  Allow that version of you to be the version in you that
• 10:41
  appreciates and admires your fingernails.
• 10:49
  From this moment forward, you begin to see your nails as they
• 10:54
  truly are. These are symbols of care,
• 11:03
  personal elegance, these biological jewels, precious
• 11:13
  entities. Your nails are now something to
• 11:18
  admire, to protect, to celebrate.
• 11:25
  Not just valuable, but precious. Like polished gemstones on the
• 11:32
  very tips of your fingers. Each one unique, each one
• 11:37
  precious, each one a part of your style and self respect.
• 11:45
  So now, whenever you have a thought or feel an urge to bring
• 11:52
  your nails up towards your mouth, you will do something
• 11:57
  new. You will pause and admire them,
• 12:05
  and maybe you gently rub your thumb across the surface of a
• 12:08
  nail, or notice the smooth curve, the shine, the elegance.
• 12:19
  And then, with a graceful motion, you return your hands to
• 12:24
  a position of elegance and comfort, maybe rested on your
• 12:30
  lap, or maybe interlocked within your fingers, gently held
• 12:36
  together but always relaxed and composed.
• 12:45
  And nails are something to admire and appreciate.
• 12:50
  And in those rare moments where an old behaviour, an echo, slips
• 12:57
  through the net, not a cause for frustration, this is an
• 13:04
  opportunity to update an old neural pathway, to create a new
• 13:10
  one. Because now the moment, and now
• 13:16
  it touches your lips or teeth. Imagine feeling A rush of
• 13:22
  concern, like a protective parent, as if something valuable
• 13:31
  is at risk because it is, as if you've bought something fragile,
• 13:42
  close to the point of breaking or losing valuable jewel.
• 13:52
  Feel that concern and then imagine checking it immediately.
• 14:04
  Has any damage been done? Are they OK?
• 14:08
  The concern is real because the concern is a reflection of the
• 14:14
  value. If you didn't value them, you
• 14:19
  wouldn't care, but you do. So imagine inspecting the nail
• 14:24
  with care, checking its condition, and then admiring
• 14:30
  either that nail or any other nail and returning it once again
• 14:36
  to its position of elegance and comfort.
• 14:43
  Each and every time you're doing this, you are activating and
• 14:51
  reinforcing an identity of elegance, grace and admiration.
• 15:04
  The very habit that used to frustrate you can now lead to
• 15:10
  gratitude, elegance and appreciation.
• 15:16
  And don't be surprised if you start to notice your nails
• 15:21
  getting healthier, getting longer, giving you even more to
• 15:28
  appreciate and admire. Maybe you'll feel a sense of
• 15:37
  momentum because the more you admire them, the more you value
• 15:41
  them. And the more you value them, the
• 15:44
  more you want to protect them, the more naturally concerned you
• 15:49
  will be for their look and style and health and condition.
• 15:59
  And I wonder if you could imagine seeing yourself six
• 16:06
  months from now, sat on a sofa in the evening and see yourself
• 16:14
  with stylish, elegant nails and see that they don't even get
• 16:23
  close to your mouth. Because even if they move by a
• 16:29
  small amount, observe yourself just checking their condition,
• 16:35
  admiring them and returning to that comfortable position.
• 16:42
  And then imagine you're in a social setting.
• 16:48
  In the same way that not everyone can admire a watch
• 16:51
  because they don't know enough about it, for most people your
• 16:56
  nails will be invisible. But I want you to imagine
• 17:02
  someone that knows what they're looking at maybe six or seven
• 17:07
  months from now, compliments you on your stylish, elegant nails
• 17:16
  and see your expression. A feeling of wow, this person
• 17:25
  appreciates what I appreciate. And you consider them to have
• 17:32
  refined, elegant tastes because they see what you see.
• 17:39
  And every time you admire your nails, you're moving towards
• 17:45
  that future until it becomes completely unconscious.
• 17:54
  It just happens all by itself. Nothing you need to do because
• 18:00
  it's being done for you. And if this future seems
• 18:05
  appealing, desirable and natural, let me know by nodding
• 18:10
  your head. That's it.
• 18:14
  Consider this a seed planted deep in your subconscious mind
• 18:18
  that is already taking root. When you plant a seed, you can
• 18:27
  check every now and then how it's progressing.
• 18:29
  But the seed is doing the growing.
• 18:36
  You don't need to make it do anything.
• 18:39
  It's doing it all by itself. All you're doing is helping it
• 18:44
  along. So it's time to return back,
• 18:49
  back to the present, feeling that an old version of you, the
• 18:57
  version of you that didn't value your nails, is no longer the
• 19:02
  right custodian for your nails. But the version of you that is
• 19:09
  able to look after a valuable watch is exactly the part that
• 19:15
  is able to look after your elegant, valuable nails.
• 19:22
  So when you return, you return with a shift in
• 19:26
  responsibilities. The most competent part for the
• 19:32
  job now has the job. So take a deep breath in, in
• 19:39
  through your nose, out through your nose.
• 19:41
  Wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
• 19:43
  Connect and calibrate into the here and the now as I now count
• 19:48
  from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 19:52
  Starting to count 123 waking up 456 more alert 7-8.
• 20:00
  Open your eyes. Open your eyes 910.
• 20:03
  Wide awake. Wide awake.
• 20:06
  Wide awake. Thank you for listening to The
