  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 Evans 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, Adam here. And you're about to listen to a
• 0:42
  hypnosis session that was created for a client that felt
• 0:47
  that it was too much hassle. Too much.
• 0:49
  Trouble to. Actually prepare proper meals
• 0:52
  and every now and then they would start, but then feel this
• 0:55
  urge just to get something a bit more convenient.
• 0:58
  But actually, this particular client was a big fan of
• 1:02
  adventure and they'd done certain things in their life
• 1:05
  that were way outside of their comfort zone.
• 1:08
  O there was an element of them that liked the challenge, liked
• 1:11
  adversity, liked when things weren't easy.
• 1:14
  So what you're going to hear in this hypnosis session is a very
• 1:17
  metaphorical session that uses fairy tale language to create
• 1:22
  the idea of a quest. And part of that quest is
• 1:26
  utilizing food in almost this kind of magical, spellbinding
• 1:31
  way that actually food is not just food.
• 1:35
  Food is a vehicle to express love, self love, kindness,
• 1:40
  connection. It has all of these different
• 1:42
  connotations, so this hypnosis session would be useful for
• 1:46
  anyone who. Wants to have a better
• 1:49
  relationship with food and creating meals so.
• 1:52
  If you're the kind of person that has lots of snacks and
• 1:55
  processed. Foods lots.
• 1:56
  Of take out then I think you'll get some value from this session
• 2:00
  even though it. Was created.
• 2:01
  For someone else, if you like the hypnosis that I create and
• 2:06
  maybe you don't want to be listening to my intros and
• 2:09
  explanations every time, you just want to get the real
• 2:12
  hypnosis session without any of the stuff around it.
• 2:15
  Right now there's a link in the description that's going to give
• 2:17
  you 22 separate hypnosis downloads with no intro, no
• 2:22
  outro, just the hypnosis. So.
• 2:24
  You can actually find that. In the link in the description.
• 2:27
  So check out that. And if you'd like the idea of
• 2:30
  working with me rather than just listening to my recordings,
• 2:33
  there's also going to be a link where you can schedule a free
• 2:36
  consultation call to explore working with me.
• 2:38
  For now though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
• 2:41
  won't be disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 3:19
  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in that
• 3:30
  slow, long, relaxing breath. And as you exhale, feel that
• 3:37
  sense of release, the feelings of tension, stress, and worry.
• 3:45
  Just feel that they're melting away and leaving your body in
• 3:51
  your outward breath as you're able to drift to a place deep
• 4:00
  within your imagination. A place within your imagination
• 4:06
  where ideas can be planted like seeds in nature to create
• 4:18
  inspiration, goals and plans that steer your life into
• 4:26
  wonderful new directions. And as you breathe in and
• 4:33
  breathe out, I wonder if you can remember a time from your
• 4:40
  childhood, a time when someone was reading you a story.
• 4:54
  And I want you to go back to that place where you felt safe
• 4:57
  and comfortable and happy. And maybe it was a bedtime
• 5:02
  story. And you can imagine being in
• 5:04
  that bed, and you could imagine someone opening a book and
• 5:14
  saying something like Once Upon a time.
• 5:23
  And notice how your imagination starts to create a scene from
• 5:30
  long ago. And I want you to create within
• 5:35
  your imagination a Kingdom Kingdom.
• 5:41
  A Kingdom with a castle and forests and wild horses and
• 5:49
  lakes and streams. And as the story is being told,
• 5:57
  I want you to imagine wandering around that ancient Kingdom, and
• 6:07
  imagine you're in the Kingdom on a sunny spring day with blue
• 6:14
  skies, a gentle breeze. That's it.
• 6:23
  Going to that place of deep calm and relaxation.
• 6:36
  And in that place you begin to notice the rhythm of your
• 6:40
  breath, inhaling gently and exhaling for longer and more
• 6:50
  slowly. And in this Kingdom, you feel
• 6:56
  safe because the Kingdom is just in your imagination, and you can
• 7:03
  just let go and simply be. Be calm, confident, but also
• 7:13
  adventurous in this Kingdom. That's right.
• 7:20
  And with each breath, I wonder if you could allow your
• 7:25
  attention to drift inward. And I want you to imagine
• 7:33
  finding an old cottage somewhere in the Kingdom.
• 7:43
  And I want you to imagine this cottage belonged to an ancient
• 7:49
  ancestor of yours. And in this cottage is an old
• 7:56
  cookbook filled with ancient recipes and rituals.
• 8:05
  Imagine picking up that heavy cookbook and flicking through
• 8:09
  the pages. And for some reason the pages
• 8:17
  seem familiar, even if you've never read them before.
• 8:27
  Good part of the recipe requires you to forage for new foods, and
• 8:40
  sometimes when you're flipping through pages of a book, your
• 8:45
  imagination takes you deeper into a dreamlike state.
• 8:53
  And as you flip through the cookbook in the ancient cottage,
• 8:59
  I want you to imagine standing at the edge of a forest.
• 9:06
  And not just any forest. Imagine a sacred place of
• 9:13
  nourishment, the kind of place where every step forward is a
• 9:21
  step deeper into yourself, your curiosity, your creativity, your
• 9:33
  care. And with every step you take,
• 9:41
  I'd like you to imagine descending deeper into this
• 9:45
  state of focused relaxation. Deeper and deeper, a place where
• 9:55
  intentions naturally grow into actions and actions become
• 10:02
  rituals, like spells that nourish the body, mind and soul.
• 10:14
  And imagine in this Kingdom, within your imagination, in this
• 10:17
  ancient forest, you begin to realise something profound.
• 10:26
  The cooking isn't a chore or a task to take off, but a magical
• 10:35
  ceremony, a personal ritual, a way of expressing presence, care
• 10:44
  and identity in this new chapter of your life.
• 10:55
  Even with the quirks of an electric cooker and a kitchen
• 11:00
  that wasn't designed with practicalities in mind, you
• 11:08
  begin to adapt and relish the challenge like a seasoned
• 11:15
  traveller, someone who once chose challenge because it made
• 11:24
  their life more adventurous. And what if your own kitchen
• 11:32
  became a portal into new adventures?
• 11:39
  At any point in time, your kitchen becomes your next
• 11:43
  expedition, where you can imagine yourself like an
• 11:51
  adventurer, a forager on a quest to seek out ingredients not just
• 12:02
  for sustenance but for experience.
• 12:10
  Where each meal begins with a thought, an intention, a
• 12:18
  question. What do I want to feel after I
• 12:24
  eat this? What would nourish me most right
• 12:28
  now? And what if, as you research and
• 12:34
  explore and browse, you find joy in the journey itself?
• 12:43
  The cultural roots of each dish, the nutrition behind every
• 12:50
  colour on your plate, Each ingredient has a story and
• 12:58
  evolution. And what if, rather than being
• 13:06
  the listener of the story, you become the storyteller?
• 13:15
  Each meal you prepare tells a story, and you get to bring it
• 13:20
  all home, like treasures gathered on a journey, laying
• 13:26
  them out to be discerning. What if you've grown, found or
• 13:32
  discovered that could be utilized?
• 13:38
  And in that moment, the kitchen transforms.
• 13:46
  The chopping board becomes an altar.
• 13:50
  The sizzle of a pan is the opening song, and the smell of
• 13:55
  herbs releasing their aroma is almost casting a spell over you,
• 14:04
  because you are both the magician and the artist, and you
• 14:09
  can prepare meals slowly, thoughtfully, noticing the
• 14:16
  textures beneath your fingers, the colours on the plate.
• 14:23
  These rituals feels like you're casting a spell, concocting a
• 14:32
  potion that changes your mood and the mood of any guests.
• 14:42
  And when the time comes to eat, you do so mindfully, using all
• 14:51
  of your senses, each bite an act of celebration, chewing slowly,
• 15:04
  tasting fully, allowing your senses to drink in the full
• 15:11
  experience. What if your biggest discovery
• 15:20
  is that the more attention and love you give to your meals, the
• 15:25
  more your body receives A karmic cycle?
• 15:33
  But the more effort you put in, the more reward you enjoy.
• 15:37
  And not just nutrients. It's the meanings, the
• 15:43
  connections, the sense of accomplishment.
• 15:50
  Because even if you eat alone, you are never truly alone.
• 15:57
  Because you are joined by the cultures, the hands and lands
• 16:02
  that shaped the food before you. Generation after generation has
• 16:09
  influenced what we grow, what we see, what we eat.
• 16:17
  But what if the real quest was to find, forage, prepare and
• 16:25
  cook, and then share with others?
• 16:30
  So imagine being back in that cottage but no longer looking in
• 16:35
  the recipe book, but seeing a crystal ball.
• 16:43
  And in this crystal ball, I want you to see you embarking on a
• 16:48
  quest. A quest where you prepare a meal
• 16:57
  for others. Where all of the ingredients
• 17:02
  required work and effort to either grow, find, select, or
• 17:10
  forage. See yourself preparing that food
• 17:22
  with intention. Love a desire to share and see
• 17:31
  yourself inviting others to eat. Maybe see the dining table, but
• 17:41
  eating is just a catalyst for connection.
• 17:45
  See yourself explaining how you found the ingredients, the
• 17:53
  stories, the significance of the foods, the senses.
• 18:02
  See the connection, the laughter, the smiles, to witness
• 18:07
  the joy of a meal crafted with purpose.
• 18:14
  In every culture, food is a love language, a ritual, a form of
• 18:23
  mindfulness that's been made edible.
• 18:30
  And from this moment forward, you will unleash a desire to
• 18:37
  take on these quests, to feel the growing pride in every meal
• 18:45
  you prepare, even the simplest ones, and you feel a new
• 18:51
  connection between your intention and your nourishment.
• 18:56
  And the more thought you put into a meal, the more
• 19:01
  satisfaction and enjoyment you feel.
• 19:06
  And the more mindful your chewing becomes, the more you
• 19:11
  notice and enjoy the flavours, and the more curious you are,
• 19:19
  the more adventurous you become. Each recipe becomes a chapter, a
• 19:27
  milestone in your culinary quest.
• 19:34
  And even when something is imperfect, you can smile because
• 19:42
  the goal is not perfection, it's progress because it's real, it's
• 19:49
  yours, and you can own the journey and the destination as
• 19:58
  you begin to trust that preparing food with love is an
• 20:06
  act of self love. It's preparing a better
• 20:11
  relationship with yourself and maybe you have an idea who you
• 20:21
  would invite for that meal. And in doing so you have set an
• 20:28
  intention. The quest has already begun and
• 20:37
  you get to practice on yourself first.
• 20:41
  What you do for yourself, you can do for others as you are
• 20:46
  steering your life into a future of more connection, more
• 20:51
  independence, more nutrition, but also more vitality.
• 21:00
  As you leave the cottage in that ancient Kingdom, hear the words
• 21:12
  that signify the ending of a story, perhaps the words happily
• 21:18
  ever after, and allow yourself to drift back to the here and
• 21:25
  the now. As you take a deep breath in
• 21:28
  through your nose and out through your nose, wiggle your
• 21:35
  fingers and wiggle your toes. Connect and calibrate into the
• 21:38
  here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken
• 21:44
  you. That's it. 123 waking up. 456
• 21:49
  more alert. 7-8 open your eyes. Open your eyes. 910 Wide awake.
• 21:55
  Wide awake. Wide awake.
