- Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Adam Up
In this edition with the articles I am sharing, I am baring my soul and talking about kindness and sensitivity, including my own sensitivity. Then I'm sharing work of mine and new projects that feels like I am sharing my soul as it is stuff that I have put so much effort and aspects of myself into, that it feels like I am sharing something very personal to me indeed. I hope you see
that.
I have not sent out an edition of Adam Up for 3 weeks and so have got lots more to share too...
The latest couple of episodes of the Hypnosis weekly podcast have gone live since the previous edition. Episode 101 was a unique episode. I used the theme of Room 101, a TV show here in the UK whereby people get to consign their peeves, dislikes and hates into room 101, a place where they will be lost and removed from existence (named after George Orwell's room of the same name).
If you could consign anything from the hypnosis and hypnotherapy field to Room 101, so it is lost and wiped out of existence, what would it be?
In this edition of the podcast, I pose that very question to Etain McNulty, Nick Ebdon, James Brown and Jorgen Rasmussen. They cover a lot of ground and come up with some fascinating items, ideologies, approaches, thought systems, behaviours and attitudes that they want dispensed with.
Tune in to that fascinating bumper edition here:
Hypnosis Weekly Episode 101 - What would you consign to Room 101.
Then today, following 3 special editions of the podcast in a row, it returned to it's usual format and I welcome Greg McColl on to the show. He is a brilliant guest and in the second half of the show we talk about his work using hypnosis within the motor sports arena, tune in here:
Hypnosis Weekly Episode 102 - With Greg McColl.
I've got a bunch of other stuff too (including notifications about new projects), a fresh evidence based hypnosis meme of the week (a wonderful meta-analysis), and a joke or two along the way.....

New Article: Kindness and How to Practice It..
|
Be kind.
I teach this simple message to my children when they are fighting, to my clients when they have jealousy or anger issues, to friends, colleagues, students and to myself, simply that – be kind.
It’s so easy for us to get caught up in our own lives and the daily hassles that life might bring, and sometimes we take the simple things in life for granted. When was the last time you sat back and appreciated something amazing in your life or felt grateful for the simple things around us?
Sometimes we need to pinch ourselves and just look around us for opportunities to be kind and offer kindness.
“Unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly, and most underrated agent of human change.” – Bob Kerrey.
Always being kind, no matter the person or situation, is a simple way to dramatically improve our world. The best thing about it is that being kind requires no rules, laws, or government regulation (topical here at the moment). It’s a way for humanity to take back…well…our humanity. We as individuals can lead by example and maybe, just maybe, those who lead our communities, organisations, and countries will
follow suit, showing that in the end, one thing that really matters is how kind we are to each other.
What is ‘An Act of Kindness’?
So what constitutes an act of kindness? Loosely defined, an act of kindness is a spontaneous gesture of goodwill toward another human being, an animal, or our planet. A state of compassion that generates kind words and generous deeds that are deep within all of us. Many believe that children are innately kind souls, who practice goodness of the heart naturally. Though in reality we know this is not universally and consistently true (especially us parents know that, right?), many believe that
aspects of life and experience start to deplete kindness.
Adopt an attitude of kindness, and you’ll be amazed by the ways in which you grow, personally, professionally, in your relationships and other aspects of your life.
The Psychological Benefits that Come with Random Acts of Kindness:
Science supports that these little acts of kindness can have a big emotional impact. The ripples are real. Whether a giver, a receiver or even simply an observer of a kindness, we are positively impacted both individually and collectively.
● Happiness: Performing acts of kindness makes us healthier and happier. Research shows that being kind measurably boosts wellbeing in many ways. In fact, the more acts of kindness we carry out, the happier we are.
● Generosity: Further, it turns out that kindness truly is contagious. According to Psychology Today, witnessing acts of kindness makes a person more inclined to “pay it forward.” The natural high you get when you observe an act of kindness makes you want to act more altruistically toward others.
● Gratitude: As the lucky receiver of unexpected kindness — we experience gratitude. Research shows that, not only do feelings of gratitude enhance our well-being but gratitude motivates us to want to “share and increase the good we have received.”

This has been a major labour of love for me in recent months. I have put together 2 new and major online educational programmes that mean a great deal to me. I have also completely revamped my online members area. They offer something unrivalled in the world of hypnosis today in my biased opinion.
=====
1. My members area has been massively revamped. It uses the most up to date technology, and has been a massive labour of love of mine for the past year or so. The members area offers hundreds of hours of video tuition; my diploma courses, advanced diploma courses, CBH courses, my latest versions of my one day seminars, plus lots of additional lectures from all over the world. I have added so much more - additional audios, documents and I think it is incredible - an immense
resource for any serious student of the field of hypnosis and hypnotherapy.
If you've been a member in the past, this has been advanced, improved upon, has the latest versions of my courses, has a great deal additional materials, audios, manuals and resources. It is an incredible training and educational resource for any seasoned hypnotherapist or student of hypnosis, self-hypnosis and hypnotherapy.
I'm offering a free five day trial for anyone to give it a good look over. Though you can invest from this page too, have a read and let me know if you have any questions (the free 5 day trial offering will end at Christmas time)....

2. Interested in learning self-hypnosis? Want to get proof of your own self-hypnosis skills and create hypnotic phenomena by yourself, for yourself? Don’t know where to start?
Here’s your answer….
I get asked so often by so many people about the best way to learn self-hypnosis and to get some kind of evidence that they are doing it correctly. I usually reply to say that the single best way to know you are doing self-hypnosis correctly is to give yourself real-life evidence – by creating hypnotic phenomena.
What do I mean by “hypnotic Phenomena”?
This is our effect. The effect that we are going to create. With stage hypnotists, they create effects of people believing they are someone else, for example. With hypnotherapists they create effects of being free of habits, for example. With street hypnotists, they create the effect of someone believing their foot is stuck to the floor, for example. Within this self-hypnosis online educational programme, you are going to create effects that are going to be undeniably convincing to you that
you are using self-hypnosis well.
I have just put together a full blown science of self-hypnosis online educational programme that I think is unrivalled in the world today.
The programme contains many hours of video footage of me teaching self-hypnosis, plus a great many additional resources to help ensure you become an effective self-hypnotist and a teacher of self-hypnosis to others.
It combines the very latest evidence base and science including my own published research findings. You'll be on the cutting edge of self-hypnosis skills and knowledge with this programme.
It is new and I have just released it today, and therefore, the entire programme is yours for less than £100.00.
Come and read this page to learn more about it and and dive in to the ultimate self-hypnosis educational programme:
Science of Self-Hypnosis Educational Programme From Adam Eason
I think you'll love it and hope it helps you have a wonderful festive season and new year ahead.
Go read all about this, you are going to have a lot of fun with it, believe me. Enjoy engaging with self-hypnosis, most importantly, enjoy creating real-life undeniable hypnotic phenomena for yourself – it's going to blow your mind.
3. Are You Interested in Learning How to Conduct Rapid Inductions and Create Hypnotic Phenomena in others?
Then I have something very cool indeed for you.
I am delighted to invite you to a Rapid Inductions and hypnotic phenomena online training programme that is an evidence-based, fun filled education programme aimed at and created for hypnotherapists and students of hypnosis, looking to advance their range and fluency at inducing hypnosis rapidly and creating hypnotic phenomena in a professional manner.
This is an online programme based upon the last two decades of teaching rapid inductions and hypnotic phenomena. I have toured the world teaching this seminar.
Imagine the scene…. You’re trained and qualified and are working with a client in your lovely fancy therapy room, the lights are dimmed, the chair is fully reclined, your client has a lovely crochet blanket draped across them, you pop on the whale music and yes, it’s time to affect your best “Hush FM DJ” voice, a sort of whispering-Barry-White-on-dope type of impression, and you punctuate every sentence of your lengthy scenic
descriptive deepened with those immortal words “deeper and deeper”…… The client starts to softly snore, completely unaware any longer that they are supposed to be in a hypnotherapy session, to the point where you could be saying anything at all to them….
You emerge them at the end of the session, they rub their eyes the same way they would if they had just had a short nap (ironic?) and they utter those words that no hypnotherapist ever wants to hear and never should hear….
“…. it was a nice experience, but I am not sure I was really hypnotised”
or
“it was very relaxing, but I am not convinced I was in hypnosis.”
Maybe you have heard it said by other hypnotherapist’s clients? I hear this a great deal from clients that went to see other hypnotherapists before coming to see me. Surely this is a problem if you are a hypnotherapist, no?
Following this rapid inductions and hypnotic phenomena training programme (less than £100.00 investment too), your clients will never utter these words.
They will leave your office undeniably convinced that they were hypnotised. They’ll explain to friends, family and colleagues how impressive their experience was, and your reputation, referred business levels and credibility will all rise together.
Let’s dispense with the reclining chair.
Let’s dispense with the crochet blanket.
Let’s dispense with the whale music.
Let’s dispense with the affected Hush FM DJ impressions.
Let’s dispense with repeatedly saying “deeper and deeper” in monotone.
Let’s dispense with the clichéd, outdated caricature of how hypnotherapists behave, and let’s get skilled up!
Quality hypnosis that creates wonderful responsiveness needs none of these above things.
This training programme shows you how to induce hypnosis in a wide number of effective ways, and how to elicit a wide range of hypnotic phenomena and effects that will blow the minds of your clients in your hypnotherapy consulting rooms – it will add kudos, credibility and stimulation to every session you ever conduct with your clients - and the entire programme with it's hours of tuition is less than £100.00.
If you have ever heard your clients directly or indirectly say about their session with you that “it was a nice experience, but I am not sure I was really hypnotised” or “it was very relaxing, but I am not convinced I was in hypnosis” then this programme is going to change that.
Clients will leave your office undeniably convinced that they were hypnotised. They’ll explain to friends, family and colleagues how impressive their experience was, and your reputation, referred business levels and credibility will all rise together. Learn more about it here....

This Week's Main Article:
Baring my soul.... Embrace Your Sensitivity.
|
Embrace your sensitivity is my message today.
Throughout my entire life, I have been overly sensitive. It was not until my early adult life that I was self-aware enough to address it, and really not until the last decade that I have learned to actually embrace it and use it as a resource. I wanted to share elements of that journey today.
“Sensitive people care when the world doesn’t because we understand waiting to be rescued and no one shows up. We have rescued ourselves, so many times that we have become self-taught in the art of compassion for those forgotten.” — Shannon L. Alder.
I used to take things very personally. I tell many of my students and clients that I spent the best part of a decade with a flashcard in my wallet upon which I had written the words “fact or opinion?” That is, whenever I took things too personally, or got overly sensitive about something, I would ask myself whether my own thoughts and reactions were based upon facts or were opinions being projected in a way that was upsetting
me.
In later life, as my profile was raised, I came to recognise that more and more people in my classes and online considered me to be impervious in my role as teacher, speaker and businessman. People lose track of the real human behind those roles, the real human with a wife, children, regular life and former issues relating to lack of self-esteem, existential crises and so on. Many of my roles in my work and my life, it was
presupposed and sometimes projected onto me, that I had to be strong and impervious in many respects.
There are similar trends in our society; we have traditionally seemed to prefer the image of a strong dominant man who takes care of his family, works hard, shows no emotions and is mainly career oriented. It may be changing to a certain extent but in many areas of life, it is still not considered normal for men to show emotions such as fear, vulnerability and sadness. It has been, however, normal to act as if nothing bothers
you.
This stereotype makes it very hard for sensitive men to come out and admit that they are sensitive and to show their emotions.
They often feel like they are playing a role, that they are keeping up appearances and are “forced” to take on a role or persona, just so that their friends or colleagues won’t think that they are weird or that there is something wrong with them. I know there is much media coverage of “snowflake” culture and being too sensitive these days, and I’m not suggesting we necessarily go so far as to lose ourselves in sensitivity…..
But there is absolutely nothing wrong with a sensitive man that reacts deeply to stimuli or exhibits emotional sensitivity, in fact, I want to encourage and embrace that.
What is wrong here, is our society that occasionally shames those who don’t act tough or aggressive or who don’t suppress their emotions. Especially, since a huge portion of the population is not comfortable with these types of behaviour or is simply just not cut out for them.
“You value vulnerability over anything else.” — Marisa Donnelly.
What if You are a Highly Sensitive Person?
Hyper-sensitivity is an innate trait found in mammals, including humans. 20% of the population is highly sensitive, and in today’s digital and competitive age, there are more who do not know it. Learning that you have the highly sensitive trait opens a door to freedom because within the realisation, these people figure out why they have always felt ‘different’ and they can finally work with that to optimise their lives and purpose. That pretty much describes my own
journey.
Read the full article and the practical guide of how to embrace your sensitivity here, the article contains the references and research that supports it too....
This week, my social media output has been filled with memes about hypnosis, photos from my life (including those from my travels and other teaching events) and loads of articles from our vaults (including some really controversial ones from the past few years!!) and some other bits and pieces.
You can follow and keep up to date here:
Additionally, if you are a student, graduate or friend of my college, then come & join our Facebook group for hypnotherapists, it has some wonderful discussion on there:
I'm completely booked up with regards to being able to take on any new clients for hypnotherapy, mentoring or coaching currently, so have removed those links from Adam Up until the new year.
For those of you interested in finding out a bit more about working or studying with me, here are the pages to go and do that:
Would you like a satisfying and meaningful career as a hypnotherapist helping others?
Are you a hypnotherapist looking for stimulating and career enhancing continued professional development and advanced studies?
We have a range of classroom based and home study courses offering the most comprehensive and highest quality education in the hypnotherapy and hypnosis fields:
If you are a hypnotherapist, then I highly recommend the investment of 10 minutes of your time to read these articles, they are ram-packed full of useful information even if you do not choose to study with me, they’ll benefit you greatly:
These are from a page someone sent me a link to about the best clean one-liners from Edinburgh fringe....
“I just bought underwater headphones and it’s made me loads faster. Do you know how motivating it is swimming to the theme song from Jaws? I mean my anxiety is through the roof but record times.” – Felicity Ward.
“I went to a restaurant that serves breakfast at any time. So I ordered French toast during the Renaissance.” – Steven Wright.
“I’d like to start with the chimney jokes – I’ve got a stack of them. The first one is on the house.” – Tim Vine.
“The depressing thing about tennis is that no matter how much I play, I’ll never be as good as a wall. I played a wall once. They’re relentless.” – Mitch Hedberg.
Hahahaha, love those..... Thanks to all who continue to send them in to me and tag me online with jokes each week.
