Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.82,0:00:12.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,About a year ago,\NI had a reoccurring dream.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.70,0:00:15.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would dream I was walking\Ninto a forest with a guide,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.56,0:00:18.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the guide would bend over,\Nhe'd pluck a flower out of the ground,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.88,0:00:21.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he'd say, "This is poison."
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.94,0:00:25.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He then would point clear\Nacross the forest at another plant,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.32,0:00:29.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he'd say, "But there is the antidote,\Nthere is the remedy to this poison."
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.83,0:00:32.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He then shared with me\Na very simple truth.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.84,0:00:35.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He said, "In nature,\Nwherever there is a poison,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.51,0:00:38.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the remedy often grows nearby."
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.18,0:00:41.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is true in nature:\Nwherever there is a poison,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.02,0:00:44.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the antidote or the remedy\Noften does grow in the same environment.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.41,0:00:47.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I believe this to be true\Nin our minds, as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.52,0:00:50.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So whenever we have a negativity\Nor a poison in our minds,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.65,0:00:53.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the antidote can often be found nearby.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.21,0:00:58.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the human mind is far more difficult\Nto navigate than the forest,

Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.23,0:01:04.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Around the same time, about a year ago,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.50,0:01:07.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I began to see a hypnosis client;\Nwe'll call him Martin.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.74,0:01:10.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Martin was a compulsive spender.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.02,0:01:13.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, as soon as he got any money,\Neven if he had debts and bills to pay,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.74,0:01:15.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he would just spend it immediately.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.72,0:01:19.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Martin had been seeing a therapist\Nconsistently for years on this issue
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.35,0:01:20.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to no [avail.]
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.39,0:01:25.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Martin's spending problem\Nstemmed from a limiting belief,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.87,0:01:27.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a negative belief,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.67,0:01:30.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a belief which told him\Nhe did not deserve that money.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.70,0:01:33.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So as soon as he got it, he spent it.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.66,0:01:36.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We all have beliefs like this:\Nwe believe we can't change,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.57,0:01:39.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we believe we can't accomplish\Na goal or learn a new skill.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.68,0:01:44.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These negative beliefs\Nmanifest themselves into negative habits,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.18,0:01:46.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,habits like giving up before we even try
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.75,0:01:49.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or fearing failure so much\Nwe never even try.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.81,0:01:51.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These are our poisons.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.78,0:01:53.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the antidote is nearby.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.54,0:01:56.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Most just never bothered to look.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.79,0:01:59.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in order to understand\Nhow to overcome these negative beliefs,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.98,0:02:02.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we must first understand\Nwhat forms our beliefs.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.73,0:02:04.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is what I found.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.03,0:02:08.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What you focus on\Ninfluences what you believe,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.62,0:02:10.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what you believe\Ninfluences your reality.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.84,0:02:13.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All of our realities\Nare completely subjective.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.53,0:02:16.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're influenced\Nby what we choose to see in the world.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.38,0:02:18.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if I were to ask\Nevery single one of you,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.19,0:02:27.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I asked you at the end of that year
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.11,0:02:29.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what you believe\Nthe quality of your life to be,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.44,0:02:31.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,most of you would say, "Terrible!",
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.19,0:02:34.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and of course, you would, because all\Nyou're doing is focusing on the terrible,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.97,0:02:36.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,beginning to believe the terrible,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.72,0:02:38.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and your reality\Nwill manifest in that way.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.79,0:02:41.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, our beliefs are also our habits:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.41,0:02:45.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what you focus on turns into your beliefs,\Nwhat you believe turns into your habits,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.32,0:02:47.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what your habits are\Nturns into your reality.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.72,0:02:51.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this way, our realities are\Nentirely under our control.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.95,0:02:56.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But so often our beliefs and our habits\Nbecome so deeply ingrained in us,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.40,0:02:58.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it becomes nearly impossible\Nto rewrite them,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.75,0:03:00.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,nearly impossible to change.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.21,0:03:03.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is where I believe\Nhypnosis can come in.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.92,0:03:08.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hypnosis allows us to quickly\Nand easily change our focus,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.04,0:03:09.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,change our beliefs, change our habits,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.97,0:03:11.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in turn, change our realities.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.77,0:03:16.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hypnosis allows our realities to work\Nlike clay in our hands to mold,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.14,0:03:18.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to fit any mold that we wish to see.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.75,0:03:21.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's an incredible space.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.96,0:03:23.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But what is hypnosis even?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.94,0:03:25.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How does it work?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.50,0:03:27.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm glad you asked.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.96,0:03:30.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hypnosis is an altered state\Nof consciousness.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.04,0:03:34.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It dances that fine line\Nbetween being awake and being asleep.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.61,0:03:37.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You're not quite awake,\Nbut you're not fully asleep.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.13,0:03:39.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You experience it\Nalmost every single night.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.26,0:03:42.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In scientific and medical studies\Nof hypnosis, they've found
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.22,0:03:45.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there are two parts of the brain\Nthat are active during hypnosis:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.39,0:03:47.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the part that controls\Nintense concentration
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.63,0:03:49.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the part that controls\Nintense relaxation.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.84,0:03:52.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In further studies, they found\Nthe left hemisphere of the brain,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.95,0:03:56.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the part of the brain that controls\Ncritical and analytical thinking
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.16,0:03:57.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is less active;
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.02,0:03:59.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the right hemisphere of the brain,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.04,0:04:02.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the part of the brain that controls\Ncreativity, fluidity of thought,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.41,0:04:04.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,subconscious mind,\Nand dreaming is more active.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.93,0:04:06.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what does this mean?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.06,0:04:09.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It means that hypnosis is a space\Nwhere you're largely unhindered,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.32,0:04:11.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're relaxed, you're focused,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.16,0:04:13.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you have creativity\Nand fluidity of thought.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.26,0:04:16.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So knowing all this, let's bring it\Nback to Martin and his spending problem.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.85,0:04:20.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Martin's problem stemmed from\Na negative association with money,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.23,0:04:22.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an association with money.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.66,0:04:26.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So now, whenever he gets money,\Nhe has a negative feeling attached to it.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.16,0:04:28.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's very difficult\Nto remove associations,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.62,0:04:31.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's far easier to add associations.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.64,0:04:36.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You associate the feeling of comfort\Nwith your mom's chocolate-chip cookies.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.14,0:04:39.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if I were to stand up here\Non stage and set off fireworks
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.45,0:04:43.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,while eating chocolate-chip cookies,\Nyou'd have a new association to cookies.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.09,0:04:44.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But what about your mom?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.29,0:04:46.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Would still be there\Nbut you'd have a new one.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.53,0:04:49.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's much easier to add associations.\NThat's what we did with Martin.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.92,0:04:53.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Under the state of hypnosis,\NI added a third association for Martin;
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.21,0:04:57.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I added this: a clockwise spin -\Nreally, really simple, literally this.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.75,0:05:01.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All we had to do is to give him\Nthe proper hypnotic suggestions
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.44,0:05:05.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and do this: reverse the spin.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.58,0:05:09.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Literally, by reversing the spin\Nand given the proper hypnotic suggestions,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.97,0:05:12.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we reverse-engineered\Nthe emotion for Martin
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.81,0:05:18.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and literally, reversed the emotion,\Nreversed the feeling.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.19,0:05:22.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So by adding a third association,\Nand then reversing the third association,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.24,0:05:23.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we reverse the feeling.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.52,0:05:27.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So now Martin associates\Nmoney with good feelings.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.35,0:05:29.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is a very small, simple change,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.46,0:05:33.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it led to many bigger changes\Nand many new beginnings in Martin's life.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.14,0:05:38.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is a very profoundly simple\Nbut incredibly effective technique.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.54,0:05:41.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it's just the tip\Nof the iceberg with hypnosis.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.22,0:05:43.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We're all taught from such a young age,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.21,0:05:47.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that our minds are too complex,\Ntoo convoluted to navigate.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:47.54,0:05:49.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But that simply isn't true.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.66,0:05:54.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hypnosis allows our minds\Nto be simple, open, and adjustable.
