All right, now I'm gonna show you how to get your hand— I'm gonna show you how to get your eyes open. It's gonna sound weird as hell, but all you gotta do is do it, your eyes gonna pop right open. Put your right thumb in your mouth and suck on it 3 times, and your eyes gonna pop right open. Watch this.
Oh my God!
Just like that, they gonna pop open. That shit crazy, right?
Oh my God, I could not— like, I seriously swear to God, I could not open my eyes until I did that.
So, uh, what'd you say? You ever been hypnotized before?
Um, I do like meditation and self—
oh, so you, you ready? Your subconscious mind is right there on the surface.
You— yeah, every night for this last year I've meditated.
Okay, so that means the neural pathways for hypnosis, they good and wet. So this is gonna be so quick, so easy, so effortless. Okay, boom. Hmm, what got you into self-hypnosis? What made you want to learn self-hypnosis?
Um, I don't know. I had like a spiritual awakening, I guess, with one of my friends from my childhood, and after that, like, hypnosis and meditation became like really, really important to me.
All right, I'm gonna ask you this because it don't matter to me. I hypnotize people and I hypnotize people in clubs. I hypnotize people at carnivals. I hypnotize people everywhere. It's not gonna bother me. But are you going to be able to focus on me with the music and stuff playing in the background?
Um, I feel like I could focus if you guys let me focus on hypnotization.
All right, so let's let's figure out everything before we get started. Ask them, are they gonna let you focus?
All right, are you guys cool if I do this? I really want to do this. All right, I'm gonna pause this music. I'm gonna pause this music, and I'm gonna do this.
Hey.
Okay.
All right, so now I'm gonna ask you this. If you want to answer this question out loud, you can. If you don't want to answer it out loud, just answer it in your own mind. If you can enhance anything about yourself— like, I work with professional athletes, I work with politicians, I work with rappers, I help people like develop stage presence, be able to go on stage and feel comfortable in front of 8,000 people. If it was one thing at like a mental level that that I can help you enhance about yourself, what would that be?
My self-confidence.
Yourself— oh, you interrupted, man. This is my area. Confidence. I love confidence. Let's get you confident. So let me ask you this, and like I say, same thing, if you don't want to answer it out loud, you don't got to. But if you were confident, what would that feel like?
I would feel great. I wouldn't feel like I need validation or approval. I would feel like I'm powerful.
Powerful? What, what, what does powerful feel like? Because that's vague. I wanna, I wanna dial it in. So let me ask you a better question. Can you remember a time when you were confident?
Yeah, definitely.
Okay, so pick a time when you were confident. Close your eyes and just allow yourself to drop down into that memory. And as you drop down into that memory, I want you to notice your body language. I want you to notice how you're holding your shoulders. Are, are your shoulders back or are they hunched over? I want you to notice how you breathing. I want you to remember what you was wearing. If it was other people there, I want you to acknowledge them. Hey y'all, what's What's up?
I gotta go.
You can already feel— yo, there we go. That's what I'm looking for. You can already feel yourself feeling more confident. And I knew this was gonna be easy because you already told me you meditate and stuff every day. So check this out, you already in hypnosis. Watch this. I want you to put the attention on your eyelids. Pay attention to those tiny little muscles around your eyelids and just notice those muscles and imagine that every word I say, those muscles are relaxing more. And more and more. That's it, just like that. And in a moment, not right now, but in a moment, I'm going to ask you to try to unstick your eyes. And as soon as you try to unstick them, you're going to notice that they're stuck and there's nothing you can do about it. You can feel those eyelids just relaxing more and more with every word that I say. And as you listen to my voice, as you remember what that confidence feels like, you feel those eyelids just locking. Sticking, sticking, and locking. That's it. And I know you've been hearing my voice this whole time, but as you listen closely, you notice that you can hear my voice in a whole new way. You can notice the octave. You can notice the vibrations of my voice, and you can notice how you can find music in anything that you choose to find music in, as you just allow those shoulders to drop down. That's it. And relax. Now, in a moment, I'm gonna ask you to try to unstick your eyes. And when you try to unstick them, you're gonna notice that they stuck. You're not gonna panic, I promise you. I'm gonna show you how to get your eyes unstuck. Nod your head if you trust me. That's it, just nod your head if you trust me as you feel those eyes— that's it— locking and sticking and sticking and locking. And the crazy thing is you're not even gonna try to unstick them until you know they stuck. As I count from 1, close your eyes as tight as you can. 2, feel them locking and sticking. 3, you notice they completely stuck. Try to unstick them and notice that you can't. Don't panic. Don't panic. Yeah, that's it. Just relax. I'm gonna show you how to get them unstuck. And you really trying, but you notice the harder you try, the tighter they stick. And finally, you just give up. And that same relaxation you feel in your eyelids, you allow that relaxation to drop all the way to the tips of your toes. Deeper, deeper, deeper. Alright, now I'm gonna show you how to get your— I'm gonna show you how to get your eyes open. It's gonna sound weird as hell, but all you gotta do is do it and your eyes gonna pop right open. Put your right thumb in your mouth and suck on it 3 times and your eyes gonna pop right open. 1, 2, 3. Watch this. Oh my God, just like that, they gonna pop open. That shit crazy, right?
Oh my God, I could not— like, I seriously swear to God, I could not open my eyes until I did that.
That shit crazy, right?
Now what? I swear to God. I couldn't open my eyes. Like, I tried, I couldn't, until I sucked on my thumb 3 times, and then, then they popped open. Wow.
