  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.
• 0:40
  Hi, it's Adam here. And in today's episode of The
• 0:43
  Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a weight loss
• 0:46
  hypnosis session that was created for a client was
• 0:50
  actually making fantastic progress and had already lost
• 0:53
  about 10 lbs and wanted to continue that.
• 0:58
  And this is really a strategy of increasing the probability of
• 1:04
  getting to certain outcomes through a combination of
• 1:10
  patience, consistency, and incremental progress.
• 1:15
  And the reason that fad diets are so popular is because a lot
• 1:20
  of people have this idea that it has to happen quickly or it's
• 1:24
  not worth doing as a binary way of framing it.
• 1:27
  But actually weight loss is a biological adaptation in the
• 1:32
  body, a state where to gain body fat, your body needs to be in a
• 1:37
  calorie surplus and have excess glycogen or excess carbs that
• 1:44
  triggers more insulin to store fat.
• 1:47
  How your body loses fat is the inverse of that, a process
• 1:51
  called ketogenics or ketosis. Now the client that I was
• 1:56
  working with was already making incredible progress going down
• 2:00
  from 2 meals a day, from three meals to two meals a day,
• 2:04
  reducing portion size and having lots of paleo types of food.
• 2:09
  And that's things like let's say meat and and good quality
• 2:14
  vegetables, fibrous foods. So they're making great
• 2:17
  progress, but if you just keep doing what you're doing, it can
• 2:21
  feel boring and monotonous. So increasing difficulty or
• 2:26
  challenge actually is useful because then it engages
• 2:31
  stimulation and the sense of dopamine when you do
• 2:35
  increasingly difficult things. And that might be walking a bit
• 2:38
  more, it might be lifting a slightly heavier weight,
• 2:41
  drinking more water or missing a meal every now and then and
• 2:44
  activating more of the fasting benefits.
• 2:47
  So all of this is included in this.
• 2:49
  They also had a particular goal of a future event where they
• 2:54
  wanted to be a lot slimmer, but this is further off in the
• 2:58
  future. And in my experience, you need a
• 3:00
  compelling vision of the future that's further away, that
• 3:04
  becomes the North Star, but you also need very achievable
• 3:08
  stepping stones on the journey to that destination to make it
• 3:11
  achievable and always within reach.
• 3:14
  So you've got elements of that in here as well.
• 3:18
  It was created for an individual client.
• 3:20
  Some of the references and suggestions would be very
• 3:24
  relevant for the client that I was working with, maybe not so
• 3:27
  relevant for you. So if you do like the idea of a
• 3:30
  bespoke customized session, there will be a link in the show
• 3:33
  notes where you can schedule a completely free consultation
• 3:36
  call on Zoom and we can explore working together, you know, at
• 3:41
  some point in the future. For now though, you might get
• 3:43
  some benefit from this session. So find a quiet, comfortable
• 3:46
  place, ideally in a place where you're not going to be
• 3:48
  disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 4:35
  Take a deep breath in and as you breathe in, breathe in that
• 4:43
  feeling of relaxation. And as you exhale, just allow
• 4:48
  your eyelids to close. And as I close, start to
• 5:00
  calibrate with a feeling of increased relaxation.
• 5:07
  Feel your body becoming more relaxed with every inward breath
• 5:15
  and as you exhale, that's it. Give yourself permission to
• 5:22
  release not just tension, but any feelings of stress or worry.
• 5:32
  Allow yourself to let go of any feelings of shame, any feelings
• 5:41
  of stress and pressure. All of those ideas that you
• 5:46
  should do, must do, and have to allow them all to melt away and
• 5:57
  notice how good it feels for those feelings of expectations
• 6:13
  to be swamped. And I'd like you to swap those
• 6:20
  expectations for intentions. When you intend for something to
• 6:28
  happen, you can increase feelings of gratitude when they
• 6:33
  do. The deeper you breathe, the more
• 6:40
  relaxed you become. And the more relaxed you become,
• 6:45
  the deeper you breathe. And as your body relaxes, your
• 6:55
  imagination awakens, and I want you to imagine you've awoken in
• 7:07
  a place that isn't your home, a warmer climate.
• 7:15
  I want you to imagine having an early morning walk before
• 7:20
  breakfast. Maybe others are sleeping, but
• 7:26
  this is your time to connect with yourself.
• 7:32
  As you breathe in that relaxation and exhale that
• 7:35
  tension, I want you to imagine taking a walk when you can see
• 7:44
  the sea. You can see those golden sands
• 7:51
  and maybe you're walking on a path, or maybe you're walking on
• 7:55
  the sand. Maybe you're walking in the
• 7:59
  shallow waters, feeling the sensation of water on your feet.
• 8:10
  I want you to feel how good it feels, to feel that your body is
• 8:16
  moving, while calibration is taking place between the logical
• 8:24
  part of your mind and the emotional part of your body.
• 8:32
  And there's been times in the past where they've been in
• 8:34
  conflict. Your mind, your logic was taking
• 8:39
  you in One Direction and your emotions were taking you in
• 8:44
  another. A tug of war was taking place.
• 8:51
  But I want you to imagine why you're walking close to the sea,
• 8:57
  that your emotions and your logical intentions are moving in
• 9:05
  exactly the same direction as you breathe in and breathe out.
• 9:14
  I want you to get a sense of how useful it is to have a broad
• 9:21
  direction further in the future while simultaneously having
• 9:26
  something just ever so slightly beyond reach.
• 9:34
  As you imagine walking close to the sea, I want you to imagine
• 9:43
  imagine seeing a tree close to the beach.
• 9:48
  Maybe a palm tree or maybe a different type of tree.
• 9:53
  And imagine that there was a time when that tree wasn't
• 9:55
  there, but there had to be a time when that tree was just a
• 10:00
  seed. And I want you to imagine you
• 10:04
  are planting a seed of an idea deep down in your subconscious
• 10:10
  mind, an idea of something happening in the future, an idea
• 10:19
  of wouldn't it be lovely for you to be a certain clothing size.
• 10:28
  And I want you to take yourself forwards in time as an observer.
• 10:35
  See yourself perhaps maybe six months from now, maybe longer,
• 10:44
  maybe shorter, where you see yourself experiencing a
• 10:53
  possibility like it's happening. Imagine you're watching yourself
• 11:01
  like a stranger would, seeing you beaming with confidence,
• 11:09
  seeing you wearing clothing in a particular shape that would only
• 11:15
  be possible if it was a particular size.
• 11:22
  And I want you to get a sense that this is, of course,
• 11:26
  possible. I want you to get a sense that
• 11:31
  it could even be probable. It doesn't have to happen.
• 11:39
  No shoulds, no musts. You would just like it to happen
• 11:48
  if you could imagine seeing that future version of you at a
• 11:53
  particular place in time, maybe on a specific date with your
• 12:02
  body in a particular shape, wearing a particular type of
• 12:08
  clothing that is desirable for you.
• 12:12
  Just let me know by nodding your head.
• 12:17
  Just because you plant a seed doesn't guarantee it turns into
• 12:23
  the tree. But what's also true is that if
• 12:28
  the seed is not planted, the tree definitely can't grow.
• 12:33
  I want you to imagine a large seed.
• 12:40
  Imagine planting it deep in your subconscious mind.
• 12:46
  And this seed is your intention. The intention that in the future
• 12:53
  this thing that you want will increase its probability
• 13:00
  proportionate to incremental progress.
• 13:07
  Not perfection, not unrealistic rules and standards, Just
• 13:17
  incremental progress. And I want you to imagine
• 13:25
  thinking about the tiny ways in which you can make incremental
• 13:31
  progress. Maybe something as simple as
• 13:38
  every now and then having an extra glass of water, giving
• 13:45
  your body hydration, helping your metabolism to be efficient,
• 13:56
  or maybe incremental progress. Looks like every now and then on
• 14:03
  those days that you have two meals, just choosing to have
• 14:08
  one, missing a single meal. Challenging, but not impossible,
• 14:20
  because there were times when you had at least three meals a
• 14:24
  day plus snacks, and now you have to.
• 14:31
  How you're living right now is evidence that progress is not
• 14:35
  just possible, it's actually what you're doing.
• 14:45
  And therefore, if every now and then you simply missed a meal,
• 14:52
  that's not through sacrifice and restrictions, it's simply
• 14:59
  training your body to go without food for slightly longer.
• 15:07
  Consider it a game of trace with your body that if every now and
• 15:13
  then you miss one meal, your body has to get better at
• 15:21
  turning body fat into a source of energy and giving you access
• 15:27
  to that energy even when you don't eat food.
• 15:34
  You're training your body to be even more efficient at turning
• 15:40
  body fat into fuel, and every time you do that, your stomach
• 15:46
  shrinks just a little bit more, reducing your appetite, which
• 15:53
  represents even more progress. I want you to get a sense that
• 15:59
  there are infinite ways to make tiny incremental progress
• 16:09
  lifting slightly heavier weights in the gym.
• 16:18
  Having the occasional day each week where you do more than
• 16:25
  10,000 steps on a day that normally you wouldn't.
• 16:36
  I want you to imagine what it would be like to zoom out on
• 16:41
  your own life from the present moment to that key event where
• 16:49
  you intended yourself to be slimmer.
• 16:55
  I want to zoom out and see a timeline of where you are now to
• 17:00
  where you could be then, and think of all the tiny ways that
• 17:06
  you can make slight incremental improvements that would increase
• 17:13
  the probability of getting to that very destination.
• 17:24
  And maybe one of those ways in which the game isn't just
• 17:28
  winnable but enjoyable is to sell those old clothes that
• 17:35
  don't fit you anymore. And imagine buying a really
• 17:42
  desirable item of clothing that is just a single size below your
• 17:53
  current size. Imagine it being desirable,
• 18:00
  appealable, possible, and start to feel how motivating that
• 18:08
  would be to not just have the item of clothing, but an
• 18:13
  intention of what to do with that.
• 18:18
  And maybe one day, not too long in the future, that item of
• 18:24
  clothing is the very item of clothing you end up wearing at
• 18:29
  an event that's important to you.
• 18:37
  Sometimes people trying to leap across a river in one jump and
• 18:46
  instead end up falling in the water.
• 18:51
  What if you get to where you want to get to by just skipping
• 18:57
  across the stepping stones? Each one very easy to get to and
• 19:08
  it doesn't matter if there are three or four or five stepping
• 19:13
  stones or even 10. Each stepping stone is a step
• 19:18
  closer to where you desire to be.
• 19:28
  I want you to imagine what it would be like to take a holiday,
• 19:34
  and I want you to observe how you would want to eat and move
• 19:40
  on that holiday. Every house has foundations
• 19:46
  before the walls can be built. And what if you prime your mind
• 19:52
  as to how you want it to be, to lay the foundations to make it
• 19:59
  possible that it is that way? See what kind of food you would
• 20:05
  have for breakfast. See yourself relaxing in the
• 20:11
  sunshine, perhaps with no desire to eat lunch.
• 20:17
  Maybe see yourself having a delicious evening meal.
• 20:23
  These are all just intentions, but when you intend something,
• 20:28
  you increase the probability of that very thing occurring.
• 20:37
  But more importantly, I want you to see yourself feeling in
• 20:43
  control, building There's nothing that you have to do,
• 20:49
  nothing you should do, just all the things that you could do.
• 20:56
  And it makes you happier to make choices that align with taking
• 21:01
  your life in the very direction you desire to see yourself with
• 21:08
  that energy. Looking relaxed when choosing
• 21:12
  food, having the option to have foods high in sugar or carbs and
• 21:23
  deciding not to, that the more pleasurable thing that brings
• 21:28
  you more joy is to do the things that keeps you moving in the
• 21:33
  very direction that you desire. And if you could imagine that
• 21:39
  happening, seeing yourself as you would want to be.
• 21:43
  Just let me know about nodding your head and then feel that
• 21:49
  you've already laid the foundations.
• 21:54
  Sometimes it takes longer to lay the foundations than it does to
• 21:59
  build the house. But you've already laid the
• 22:03
  foundations. Now you get to build on what's
• 22:08
  already been done. And the last few weeks have
• 22:14
  created momentum, A trajectory. And it's easier to continue the
• 22:21
  trajectory than it is to change it.
• 22:26
  I want you to feel that you are unlocking all of the resources
• 22:31
  to help you continue to make more and more progress, to take
• 22:37
  you to that place of more feelings of pride and
• 22:41
  confidence. I want you to imagine sharing a
• 22:48
  significant milestone, maybe a certain weight or how much
• 22:52
  you've lost with key people and imagine their responses.
• 23:00
  Maybe they're happy for you. Maybe they're curious.
• 23:05
  You can already anticipate what those responses would be, but
• 23:13
  notice how it makes you feel to go from a place to feeling
• 23:18
  stuck. It's not feeling like you're
• 23:21
  making steady consistent progress, and if you feel good
• 23:31
  that you're moving in the right direction, the future intentions
• 23:42
  just naturally taking you in that direction and you are
• 23:48
  unlocking even more of the resources to make it true.
• 23:53
  Feel a wonderful sense that you are creating self fulfilling
• 23:59
  prophecies, knowing what you want but making it a nice
• 24:11
  surprise, a lovely thing to do, increases your ability to get to
• 24:21
  the destination while enjoying the journey.
• 24:27
  And then feel like your morning walk is coming to an end.
• 24:32
  That during this walk you've had a journey in your imagination.
• 24:39
  A journey of thoughts within thoughts, ideas within ideas,
• 24:44
  and dreams within dreams. There's now time to return to
• 24:48
  the present, but you return feeling an increased desire to
• 24:56
  make slow and steady progress, to build on what you've already
• 25:01
  achieved, and to keep it moving in that very same direction.
• 25:08
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 25:13
  nose. Wiggle your fingers and wiggle
• 25:16
  your toes. Start to connect and calibrate
• 25:18
  into the here and now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to
• 25:23
  awaken you. Starting to count 123 waking up
• 25:29
  456 more alert 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 25:33
  Open your eyes 910. Wide awake, wide awake, wide
• 25:39
  awake. Thank you for listening to The
