Big Abundant, a board-certified hypnotherapist, explains hypnosis as communication between your conscious mind (5%) and subconscious mind (95%). He argues willpower alone fails because the subconscious drives behavior, so real change means making desired actions feel natural through trance rather than forcing them.

What's up, what's up, what's up? I'm running a little late, man. I was trying to go live from the thing we had scheduled yesterday, but, um, for whatever reason that wasn't working. Well, and I was already running late, so we ain't have time to troubleshoot it. But I was trying to make me download a different software or whatever, and it wasn't making me do that yesterday. So what we gonna do is we just gonna start a fresh live. So if anybody in the scheduled live, they probably missing it, but we here. Hopefully YouTube's in on some type of notification. But, um, what's good, man? Hopefully everybody having a phenomenal Monday. If this your first time here, I am Big Abundant. I'm a master hypnotist, and that's what I like to talk about. I like to get on here, I like to talk about hypnosis, answer people's questions about hypnosis. Sometimes I'll hypnotize people on the live stream, but, um, we just really starting to go live on YouTube. So in a lot of these early streams, you probably just gonna be listening to me talk, listening to me just pretty much say whatever come to my mind, and we liable to end up anywhere. But welcome to the live. I'm so glad to have all of you here. If you'll bear with me just a second, I want to type— take a second to type a quick message. In the chat, welcome to my live. Kick it. What's your favorite hypnotist? And if you never met a hypnotist, I always tell people I'm your favorite hypnotist because I'm really the only hypnotist that most people know. Most people don't know. If you know a lot of hypnotists, you're probably a hypnotist. But unless— okay, I think somebody had called. Oh, I think I see what's going on. What's your favorite hypnotist? And in case you wonder who your favorite hypnotist is, that would be moi. That would be— ah, but yeah, I'm gonna sit on here and chill for about an hour, and I'ma just take questions that come in. People come in, I'm gonna kick it with them, we gonna chill. Because hypnosis tends to— tend to have this weird aura around people, like, I saw Get Out, you're not hypnotizing me, I know it, I know what hypnosis is. No, you don't. I take it from somebody with nearly 2 decades of experience, you don't know what hypnosis is. You think you know, but I don't know. You surrounded by it all day long. Good marketers understand hypnosis. Good salesmen understand hypnosis. Good lawyers understand hypnosis, even if they don't call it hypnosis. Good teachers are good hypnotists. It's impossible to be good in any of those 3 career fields unless you are a good hypnotist. You can't be a good teacher, you can't be a good lawyer, you can't be a good salesman unless you're a good hypnotist. You cannot give people information without first getting them in the trance. If you can't put them in a trance, you can't give them information. If you can't bypass the critical faculty, if you can't bypass that critical portion of the mind, you cannot give them information. So I'm sitting here by myself right now, so we just gonna hang out, chill a little bit until a few people come in. And the thing about these lives on YouTube, like when I go live on TikTok, it's different. But I noticed when I go live on YouTube, it doesn't tell me who's in the room. Like, it'll show me a number, it'll show me how many people are in the room, but it doesn't tell me who was in the room. So if you in the room and you want me to know you in the room so I can acknowledge you, so I could talk to you, you gotta say something. I don't care if you don't do anything but send an emoji. If you want me to know that you're in here, you have to say something. And do your boy a favor, like the video. Go ahead and like the video. If you haven't subscribed to my channel, subscribe to my channel. It's worth it. I, I guarantee you, you have subscribed to worse channels. My channel is funny. My channel is enlightening. My channel is educational. You're gonna get a wide mix of things on my channel. My opinion is biased, but I believe I got the best channel on YouTube. I firmly believe that. You could just— you can agree, you could disagree, but I firmly believe I got the best channel on YouTube. Do yourself a favor, favor, hit that like button, hit that subscribe button, click on that little bell, turn on the notifications so you could be able to get in here and kick it with us live. Like, it's one thing to catch these things on the replay, but man, you dealing with a whole other animal when you in here in the live as these things happen. And I'm new to YouTube streaming, but I'm not new to streaming. I'ma tell you, once you in the community— because this starting out small, but you got to understand, in 6 months, in a year, it's gonna be a whole think. Like, ask people on Bigo. We didn't have shows on Tag. We'd have been on a lot of different streaming platforms. But it's something about those people who get in early, like, they really become like the, the family. Those are the people I like to bounce my ideas off of. Those people that really help me shape how— what the show becomes. So if you fortunate enough, if you lucky enough to be one of those early people to start rocking with what we got going on here on YouTube, Oh man, you're gonna be in the inner circle. And that's my Bigo inner circle about the benefits to come with the inner circle. I don't know if y'all know about Bigo, but it's a cool little app that I used to do live hypnosis shows on during the pandemic. I see we got one new person that just joined the live. What's good, what's good, what's good? YouTube doesn't tell me who you are, so if you want me to know who you are, you got to say something in the comments. You gotta throw up an emoji, you got to tell me how your day going, you got to say something. Or else I'm not gonna know you here. But yeah, we just in here chilling, man, really getting into the rhythm of streaming on YouTube. It's different, man. It's different from a lot of the apps I've streamed on in the past. I'm tripping. I usually throw on some merch before I stream. I didn't throw on any merch today. I should go throw on a Big Abundance shirt. Trying to think, do I got— what's in my office closet? I think I got a gold shirt in there. I don't know, we'll see. We'll get to that, we'll get to that. We'll see if anybody even show up today. Like I say, this is day 2. Last night we got a little lit. I think we got about 7 people in the live and, and we were cool and they was asking questions. We was kicking it back and forth. So hopefully some of those people show up. But as we start to build a following, because right now as we're building the following, I just get on here and hang out. But as we start to build a following, we're gonna start to talk about things Like how you use the things I know as a hypnotist to change your life. Because once you understand that relationship between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind, how your conscious mind works on logic, reasoning, decision-making, and your subconscious mind works on memory, emotion, and feelings— and once you understand how those 2 things play together, like, oh man, you really become limitless in what you can achieve. Because you know how to talk to yourself to get your subconscious and your conscious mind on the same page. Have you ever been in a position where a part of you wants to go to the gym, knows that you should go to the gym, but a bigger part of you would rather watch Netflix? When you in those situations, what's happening is your conscious mind— that 5%, 5% of is the conscious mind— that part of you is using logic and reasoning and saying, hey, if If I want to look this way, feel this way, I need to go to the gym, I need to eat a certain way. But there's a bigger part of you that we refer to as the subconscious, that 95% that has learned the habit of watching Netflix. Now, if 5% of you want to go to the gym but 95% of you wants to watch Netflix, what you think you gonna do? What you think you're gonna do? 5% of you wants to go to the gym, 95% of you wants to sit down on the couch, eat chips, and watch Netflix. The 95% probably gonna win, right? 9.99 times out of 10, that 95% is gonna win, right? And hypnosis— understanding how hypnosis work, how that relationship between the two minds work Helps you learn how to influence the subconscious mind. The conscious mind is your, your masculine mind. Your feminine mind is your, is your subconscious mind. And the job of the masculine mind is to impregnate the feminine mind. But you don't impregnate it by force. You don't impregnate it by willpower. Willpower is housed in that 5%. You might get there a few times using pure willpower, but willpower depletes quickly. Willpower— people think willpower is used to do things that you don't want to do. That's not the correct use of willpower. The way we are designed, the way you are supposed to use willpower, is to train your thinking. You use willpower to meditate for 20 minutes, for 10 minutes in the morning. You use willpower to focus on the goal. You use willpower to create a clear image of the outcome that you would like. And what happens is when the 95% can see that clear image and can see the benefits associated with that clear image, the 95% will want to get the result. Then you will feel like doing it. You ever been in that situation where I want to go to the gym, but I feel like watching Netflix. 9 times out of 10, you gonna do what you feel like doing, not what you know you should do. You're gonna go with what you feel like. That's because 95% of you is driven by feeling. 95% of you is driven by emotion. We only 5% logical. As logical as we think we is as humans, 95% of what we do is because we feel like doing it more than we feel like not doing it. Prove me wrong if you can, but you can't. But try, but you can't. But though, that's the type of stuff I like to get in these lives and talk about. I am Big Abundant. I'm a clinically trained, board-certified hypnotherapist. I see clients on a one-to-one basis. I do group trainings. If you're interested in working with me one-on-one or in getting into one of my groups, you can go to bigabundant.com, find out all that information there. And come have some fun with my clients. Get results because I don't give them no other option. You working with me, you gonna get some results. I'm gonna hypnotize the shit out of you, and as I talk to you, I'm gonna learn what— how to pull your strings. And once I learn how to pull your strings, I know how to get your wheels turning to get you to do the things that you know you need to do. And I know how to make you feel like doing the things that you know you need to do. That makes sense. I know how to make you feel like doing the things that you know you need to do, because knowing that you need to do it and feeling like doing it is 2 very different things. They're not the same thing. You can know that you should be doing something, but knowing that you should do it is not the same thing as feeling like doing it. Hopefully that's making sense to you. What's good? I see we just had a new person come in. Welcome to the live. I am Big Abundant. I'm a board-certified, clinically trained hypnotherapist, and we just in here talking about how the conscious mind and the subconscious mind feed off each other. But yeah, man, that's the type of stuff I like to talk about. I'ma slow down for a minute just so I can chill and relax and give people time to— time to realize that we live. But if you, um, catch the replay Definitely hit that like button, hit the subscribe button, and come kick it with us, man. I promise you, I promise you, you want to talk about the things that we talk about in here. Even if you don't know that you want to talk about the things we talk about, you want to talk about the things that we talk about in here. Hypnosis is the key to everything you want. Everything that you want is on the other side of you being able to know how to talk to yourself to make yourself feel like doing it. Imagine how productive you could be if you felt like being productive, if you weren't doing it because you had to do it, but you were doing it because you wanted to do it. Imagine, imagine this. Let's say I was doing a big competition on YouTube. Every month I picked one person And I gave that person $1 million. Let's say about 3 months ago, one of your best friends won, and that was February, and you just became the February winner. And I give you a call, I say, yo, what's up? Hey, this is Big Abundant. You are winner for the month of February, so you just won a million dollars. That was one condition. In order to get this million dollars, you got to be in my office in Dallas, Texas by 5 PM tomorrow Central Standard Time. You got to be in my office no later than 5 PM Central Standard Time tomorrow or you forfeit the million dollars. Do you think you would need a motivational talk to figure out how to get to Dallas by tomorrow? At 5 PM? Do you think you would be too tired, too hungry, not be able to find a babysitter? Do you think any of that would get in the way? Or do you think that 95% would be so excited to come up with all the ideas, it'll figure out how to get you in my office by 5 PM because it understands that it's something that it won't— that it, that it wants connected to it getting here by 5 PM? And that's what hypnosis is. Hypnosis is a tool that teaches you how to get the 95% excited, because once you excite that 95%, oh man, it's limitless. You could be doing half anything you want. And when I say anything you want, I literally mean anything you want. Let me see what's going on here. I wanna click around on here and see what different options we got on here. And if any new people come in, feel free to tap in, introduce yourself, talk to me, talk to me. Okay, so that's live. Boom, we got that going. Yo, I see we got another person in.

So come over here and chill with us. Come kick it with us. How you been? Hey, I ain't forgot, we still got to work on that big abundant candle. I won't— I won't— I want the candle. Yeah, I like— I like face-to-face interaction. Like, I don't be feeling the whole voice-only thing. I like to use my whole body to communicate. I like to talk with my hands. I like I like to be able to— people be able to look in my eyes. And it's like Clubhouse don't do it for me. I'd be bored as hell on Clubhouse, I'm not gonna lie. Unless it's like a real good conversation, I'd be bored on Clubhouse for sure, for sure. I'm gonna message you my number on Clubhouse so you have it because I still got the app and we friends on there.
