Hello Welcome To Adam Up -

First Off This Week - An Important Hint From Keith

 
This is a message that may seem a little strange coming from me BUT there is a reason. 

Apart from the two offers below
- AVOID buying any therapeutic hypnosis downloads from our store this week.  That's right!  I am suggesting you do not buy this week.

The reason is that Adam has a birthday next week and it is a BIG ONE!  And so we have a very special set of offers planned for most of our audios but not till next Thursday when Adam Up 40 is sent out.. 

You will have to see next week's Adam Up for details.

The exceptions are the two offers just below - only one week left. 

We have been delighted at how many of you have taken up our Platinum Offer.  I am not surprised though as this is incredible value.   If you are serious about studying Hypnosis I think you would be hard pushed to find a better resource.  Adam is rightly very proud of this content and the resource will only grow over time and given Adam's passion for his subject you are in for a treat over the years with this Lifetime Membership.

Don't miss this opportunity to buy at a price that we will never go below.   We may make a similar offer some day but that won't be for some time so take action now if you want access to all these videos of courses and events.






Adam Eason -

A Big Week Ahead

We have been incredibly productive in recent weeks and months. Not only is there more video footage than ever in our Platinum members area due to us adding more lecture material, not only have we also added 12 new hypnosis audio single tracks for sale covering a wide range of applications and uses, but in next week's special issue, we shall be launching my new self-hypnosis audio programme - "The Science of Self-Hypnosis: The Evidence Based Way to Hypnotise Yourself".

I am incredibly proud of this new programme. It is VERY different to my other work on the subject of self-hypnosis "Secrets Of Self-Hypnosis Masterclass". It has a lot of audio, some video and we'll be giving all the hours of old material with it as a bonus too. Look out for it in next week's special edition of Adam Up.

Next week's edition of Adam Up is special because it is my 40th Birthday edition.

I will be awy all of next week on holiday, but this ezine will be very different - it will be a very different type of article that I have written and we'll be offering something very special to everyone who takes the time to open up this ezine next week.

Look out for it.

Onto Today's Edition Then

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy, can't we?

Way back in May 2012, while I was speaking at change phenomena conference for the first time, I watched my colleague and friend Gary Turner  who was quoting a technique he enjoyed using for getting the unwanted internal dialogue in our heads to be quiet...
It involved wrapping duct tape around the mouth of the voice of the unwanted internal dialogue.

I rather liked it, and what with Gary being a 13 time world champion at various fighting disciplines, I thought it beautifully apt.

There are so many ways to quiet internal dialogue or to get the internal chatter to shush! Some I have written about here before.

Here today is one simple way for not just disputing thoughts and not just stopping them, but to tame your thoughts if they are being critical and turn them into something effective, useful and beneficial to you.

Also, if you do not want to run through this process yourself, you can go and invest in the audio of this track which is now available in our store.







(I know I suggested above that you avoid buying our products this week.

BUT...

Rest assured - if you buy this particular self-hypnosis audio download - we will be sure to offer you a bonus next week.)

Before we start with this process today, think of someone who always wants the best for you, perhaps someone who loves you and even someone who encourages you and supports you unconditionally. If you are really struggling to come up with anyone, then create and imagine what it would be like.

Also have a think about a typical situation where you tend to be critical of yourself, or where your internal dialogue tends to talk you out of taking action or where it effects you detrimentally in some way. Then lets begin. Get yourself into a comfortable position, where you'll be undisturbed for the period of doing this exercise and follow these simple steps.
7 Steps To Tame Your Inner Critic

Step One:

Induce hypnosis.

You can do so by any means you desire or know of. You can use the process in my self-hypnosis book, use the free audio at this website to practice or have a look at the following articles as and when you need them.

They are basic processes to help you simply open the door of your mind:

hypnotic circles
Step Two:

Scan back through your day, or the past week and think of your activities and actions...

As you think, imagine drifting deeper inside your mind as you consider your recent life.

As you scan through your recent life, notice anything that might be considered an issue or a problem that you are currently working on, or a challenge you are facing, ideally a circumstance where your internal dialogue hindered you or mal-affected you or held you back or was unduly critical...

Just start to gather up the details of what happened on that occasion.
  • Recall where you were, who you were with and recall the sounds,
  • notice the sights of the place and be aware of how that makes you feel and just notice enough of those feelings as is useful for this exercise. 
As you really imagine that you are there in that place, also start to recognise what was happening inside of your head.
That is,
  • What were you saying to yourself,
  • What ideas went through your mind,
  • What was your internal dialogue saying.
  • Notice any negative elements. 
  • Notice the unwanted internal dialogue, become aware of the qualities of how it was said as well as the words that were spoken inside your mind.
With a good sense of that, move on to the next step.

Step Three:

As you notice the old unwanted criticising voice, start to build that voice a body or a character of some kind...

Maybe it is an animal or a beast or famous person, or even an object...

Just start to create in your mind a physical presence of some kind that you think and believe best suits your internal dialogue.

Fashion the voice with a body, a face of some kind and start to create a very particular physical presence and representation inside your head that represents your internal dialogue.
  • You choose,
  • You imagine,
  • You create.
Make it detailed and spend all the time necessary to get this in your mind.

As that becomes fashioned and created, also now get a sense of what the underlying meaning or hidden benefit of this inner critic might be, start to frame it in a way that it could be seen as being progressive or positive in some way.

If you feel that the words or sentiments of the voice, the critical voice were just harmful and had no positive intention at all, then that Is fine, there does not have to be...

When you have done that, then move on to the next step.

Step Four:

This is the fun part of the process... Start to morph the critic into the person who you thought of prior to step one. The encouraging and supportive person (or the imaginary person).

Imagine the change happening in the features, in the details of how they look and the colours updating.

Notice the sound of the voice beginning to change, the tonality and pace of what is being said.

Notice how it makes you feel to see this person.

Really create the change, I love this part because of my penchant for sci-fi and fantasy films where this happens a great deal!

Once you have got the old critic transformed into the new person, then move on to the next step.

Step Five:

If there was some kind of positive intention behind the critic's previous dialogue, then now is the time to refer to it and let the new voice start to encourage you and support you with the same positive intention.

If there was no positive intention that you could decipher, then let the new person start to encourage and support you - let it say the words to you that are undeniably convincing that they mean well, that you belief unconditionally and let them be words that make sure you take action, or that change how you respond to that situation, or that empower you, or that really put a smile on your face.

You'll know what is most useful for you in this situation, so let that start to happen. 

Let that be said.

Start to notice the words of encouragement are dominating your mind, filling your mind with progressive sentiments in that situation and notice the words beginning to appear in written form, in bright colours and with more pronounced sounds.

As you focus on the progressive words repeating themselves in your mind, let them effect your feelings. Notice the good feelings growing and developing and even imagine them spreading through your body in some way.

Take all the time you need to spread relaxing and enjoyably good feelings throughout your body while the encouraging, positive dialogue persists in your mind, then move on to the next step.

Step Six:

Now imagine a time in the future when you'll be in a similar situation. Really be there in that place and in that scenario. Then start to let the positive, progressive internal dialogue start to play inside your mind. Mentally rehearse the new voice dominating your mind in that situation. Notice how this changes things for you. Notice how you behave as a result of the internal dialogue, how you take action, how you feel good - notice what is different.

Tell yourself that this is how you communicate with yourself in the future and that each time you practice this process you become more naturally inclined to let go of the old unwanted critic and enjoy the new, progressive encouraging internal dialogue.
With that completed, move on to the final step.


Step Seven:

Exit hypnosis with a couple of deep breaths, wiggle your fingers and toes and open your eyes. Remind yourself of the new, progressive internal dialogue and think about going and putting yourself in that situation where you can become encouraged by it.

Then that is it...

Enjoy it, practice it a few times and then let that voice inspire you, motivate you, drive you and support you.

NEW TESTIMONIALS

Hypnotherapist, Woking, Surrey.

"Before embarking on Adam Eason's 10 month diploma,

I had looked at plenty of other courses. The thing about Adam is that he is prolific, and there was seemingly limitless blogs, video clips and free audio to sample his work and get a feel for his approach.

I liked what I saw, but embarking on the diploma course represented a significant investment of time and money and for me and I felt that I wanted to meet the man before parting with my hard earned readies... just to be sure.

Within moments of meeting Adam I knew that the persona portrayed in cyberspace was indeed the authentic Adam Eason. I enrolled and paid in full that same day, and I have never once looked back.

Adam is a man mountain of the hypnosis world. Hypnosis is a hard concept to define and many exponents seem to promote it on its mystical and magical qualities. Adam's approach is quite different - Thoroughly evidenced based, logical, practical and extensively researched.  Adam is the 'credible hulk' in this field.

His enthusiasm and knowledge for the subject, is in my opinion, unsurpassed. Having just completed the diploma course I can testify that this enthusiasm is contagious. To aspire to be a geek is but for the few, but to a man (and a woman) my fellow students and I are delighted to be considered 'hypno-geeks'. It is a badge of honour. I have made some wonderful new friends and I look forward to sharing our stories as we set off on our own individual paths.

The course has been a wonderful experience; perhaps the single most significant personal development activity that I have undertaken - and I do not say that lightly.

It was also immense fun. I have learned so much about hypnotherapy and also about myself.

The workload is heavy for sure, but I wanted it to be so. Who would want to be a lightweight when sitting one to one with an expectant client in need of a helping hand?

During the Course, each student was closely supervised, as there was always a teaching assistant, of the highest calibre, on hand to oversee every practical exercise that was undertaken. We were even assigned a mentor who was, and remains, happy to provide support and advice outside of class.

If you want to train to be a professional hypnotherapist, or simply wish to learn more ( a lot more) about hypnosis, then I would highly recommended this Diploma course."

"I genuinely believe that Adam Eason and his diploma course in hypnotherapy are unique. I am yet to meet another hypnotherapist who even comes close to possessing Adam's incredible wealth of life-experience, almost unbelievable depth of knowledge, and astonishing skill as a hypnotist and a hypnotherapist. On top of that, Adam is a thoroughly nice man, who gives his time, patience and understanding generously to everyone he meets. He also has a great sense of humour, and peppers everything he does with entertaining stories, fun humour, and lots and lots of laughs.

This course is a LOT of hard work, but it gives you the most thorough and comprehensive knowledge and set of practical skills, which genuinely leave you fully-equipped to go straight into practise as a hypnotherapist. Adam's course covers many different techniques and approaches to hypnotherapy, but his own evidence-based cognitive-behavioural preference (which the course leans towards) really rings true for me, and helps to give this field an ever-increasing amount of credibility.

Adam is a brilliant teacher, an extraordinary hypnotherapist, a highly successful author, an accomplished runner, a great father, and much much more. Doing his diploma course is the best decision I have ever made, and was worth every single penny."

"If you're looking to combine Hypnosis, NLP, Cognitive Bavioural Therapy and many other therapeutic methods into a fantastic toolbox to become a competent therapist or coach, you've come to the right place.

Apart from being very professional, authentic and caring, Adam provided us with a wonderful, fun-filled learning environment throughout the course. To me, he seems to be like a therapeutic Lexicon which you can tap into at any time to enchance your own competency as a therapist.

I also benefited personally from learning a vast array of cutting-edge information which
enhanced my personal growth tremendously.

Every month I looked forward to another weekend of training with Adam and his team.

The course was worth every penny!"

" When I was researching hypnotherapy courses, I came across quite a few, one being Adams. I looked thoroughly through all of the websites and the various prospectuses and decided to choose Adams course because the prospectus was in a lot of detail and outlined the various parts of the course. It also seemed to be the most interactive and practical course which I think is extremely important in this line of work. A mixture of both theory and practical is needed to gain a well-rounded perspective and skill set in order to work as a hypnotherapist. Another main reason for choosing to study with Adam Eason was because the course was taught by himself rather than a company providing teachers for the course. This made it seem more personable and showed his passion and love for the subject.

The course was utterly fantastic, it was the best decision I have made in my life. Even as a young person looking to begin a career I felt comfortable and well suited to the course. The content exceeded my expectations and the course covered a lot of subjects and problems that we would see clients for. I also believe that because Adam has a set of course assistants who were fabulous and have previously completed his course, it provides the students with extra support and guidance and because they have completed his course they understand the process we are going through.

Adam is a fabulous teacher and his personality really comes through in his teaching. He used his knowledge and experience to guide us and help us to become the best therapists we can be. He provided detailed feedback during the homework calls and about our practical work. his explanation of the techniques was clear and thorough. He made the course extremely enjoyable and a great learning experience.

The mentor I was supplied had completed Adams course the previous year and was already a thriving hypnotherapist. This really hit home that we can start a successful business if we put our mind to it. 

With each module of the course, I felt more comfortable and capable in delivering therapies to clients, it is a great help working with others on the course and delivering hypnotic techniques in order to practice and gain feedback.

I would recommend the course to anyone interested in Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy. Being a part of Adams school not only means getting a hypnotherapy qualification, it also includes the opportunity to attend peer support groups, business developments groups, self-hypnosis and rapid induction courses. Adam has a great deal of experience and provides the most comprehensive on-going support to people who attend his courses. I believe that had I have completed another course, my journey would have ended after the course finished and I would have only be taught the course material, Adam has run extra courses and support groups for members of the public as well as students which has been fantastic in helping us be a part of the hypnosis community.

This course has been a life changing event and I have made lifelong friends. I cannot thank Adam and the assistants enough for everything they have given me. I will continue to be friends with everyone and progress onto being a successful hypnotherapist."

"Studying with Adam has been both personally and professionally transformational. 

This course is for anyone serious about studying Hypnotherapy at the highest level. 

The homework is extensive and rigorously marked; Adam is never unfair but always honest in his feedback. 

His teaching is passionate and informed by his wide knowledge and experience. 

By the end of the course you will have had a thorough grounding in the subject - with a particular focus on Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy which is Adam's passion. 

I took this course as I wanted to challenge myself in an area in which I am not confident - my choice was vindicated."
