Speaker A
Back in the 1960s, a plastic surgeon named Maxwell Maltz found something very, very strange. He fixed someone's faces, removed scars, and reshaped their nose. And then some of them started acting outgoing and amazingly confident just like that. But others, they were still very shy and insecure and still very, very introverted. So this is when Maltz realized that if you don't change your inner image, the outer change actually doesn't make any difference. And he called this psycho-soma addicts, and he wrote a book about this. So this is essentially the mind's navigation system, a mental autopilot that always returns to your dominant self-image no matter how far you try to run away from it. So if you secretly believe you're not enough, then your subconscious will make sure that you're right. And modern neuroscience backed him up with proper study and researchers. The RAS, the reticular activating system in your brain, filters 11 million bits of information per second, but it only lets in the particular information which is the perfect match with your identity. That means if you think, "I'm unlucky," then this is exactly what you get. And your brain seeks the evidence to match with that belief so that you can experience exactly what you're thinking up in your mind. So if your identity says, "I am not confident," then your brain literally goes and finds information that matches with your identity, which is "you're not confident." So it will ignore every other compliment, and then all these great things that you should realize and you should receive are going to be deleted, distorted, and then generalized by the filter up in your mind. So this is the reason why 99% of the people get stuck and self-sabotage because consciously they're looking for, you know, more money. "I want to manifest more money. I want to manifest more abundance, and I want to be a better version of myself." But then up in your mind, it automatically finds the reason and evidence that you're not worthy, that you're not confident, that you cannot do it. The worst part is that system and that subconscious programming is so strong that you cannot outperform your subconscious. But hear me out, there is one way. This is the only possibility or only way for us to rewire the code up in your mind. It's not affirmation, or it's not about fake it till you make it, but through an actual deep emotional rehearsal. And that, my friend, is called hypnosis. And hypnosis is reprogramming. And that's what we're about to do right now in this video. Listen, you don't need more discipline. You don't need another strategy or another marketing plan or another employee in your company. But what you need is a new identity because every thought and emotion and action and literally mental decision up in your mind—there are hundreds of mental decisions and hundreds of physical actions that you automatically do. Everything is coming from your identity. The identity literally curates the desire as well as the pattern and an expected result in your reality. And therefore, there's a specific action plan already planned up in your mind. So if you change your subconscious at the identity level, everything that follows the identity will change automatically. But in other words, if you don't change that deepest part, the core part of your subconscious, which is your identity, nothing will be changed. It's almost like even though you haven't taken a shower for five days and you're adding another half you, you still stink. And this is the reason why you cannot outperform or outwork your subconscious belief system as well as your identity because your subconscious doesn't follow your effort or how much work you put into it. It follows beliefs. It follows systems. It's almost like an operating system up in your laptop. So instead of chasing success and money and girls and cars, just be a successful person. Be an abundant person at an identity level. Listen, this is not about, "Oh, I am successful." It's like, "My identity changed." That's not how it works. When I transformed myself from this struggling coach or, you know, not a leader, just another guy on Instagram, to a leader with a mission, a leader with powerful, powerful alchemy to help people's lives, this is when everything changed. And materialistically speaking, yes, my income went from 10K per month, stuck 10 to 15K. I was stuck for 12 months. My income didn't grow. I changed marketing. I changed copywriter. I changed business. I changed everything. Everything. I tried everything. Spent thousands of dollars. Nothing happened. Quite literally. It was interesting to actually see how your mind creates your reality. And then I experienced it myself painfully, right? And then I came back to a point where I needed to really focus on my mind because I'd done all this external work. Funny enough, I was in this trap of marketing gurus, right? And then if you watch YouTube and then your marketing sucks, you have to change this and this and that. And then I was so focused on these external strategies. It seemed fancy and it sounded good. So I was like just reading another marketing book and then watching another marketing guru's YouTube and then buying courses, joining coaching. Nothing happened. Interestingly, nothing happened. I was still stuck at 10K per month. However, when I created that internal shift because I realized that I was too focused on external, I stepped back and I realized my self-image was so low and weak. I didn't believe or I didn't even think unconsciously that I am worthy of making millions of dollars. So deep down, I acted like I'm confident. Yeah, I did fake it till you make it, and I did all the affirmations and consciously said all these things, but deep down I was still the same person. And then I really focused on my self-image every single day. And this is the only thing I focused on: self-image, self-image, self-image every single day. And after three months of doing that, finally, finally something just shined on me. And then my income went from 10K to 50K per month. And then after six months, finally I cracked my biggest goal, which was 100K per month. But that was like a year ago. And here's a tip: because when you're making that change, you feel like nothing is working or like you don't see the result right in front of your face. So you kind of get panicked or it's very easy for all of us to fall back because it's comfortable. We all know the past and everything that we went through as well as your identity, right? So that's why this is difficult. The most difficult thing in your life is not making money. It's not 10xing your income. It's not, you know, getting all this stuff in your life and traveling to Bali. Right now, this is not my house or anything. You know, I'm traveling to Bali. I'm about to run a seminar for entrepreneurs tomorrow. But the most difficult thing that you can face in your life is to change yourself because your identity up to today is so familiar, right? You feel so comfortable being this version of you because how do you define yourself? Well, I am Shaamoto. I'm Japanese. You know, I speak two different languages, and I'm an only child, and I do this, this, this. I'm a coach, and then I, you know, make content. So 99.9999% of your identity comes from the past. So what does it mean? It means you define yourself as what happened or what you heard or what your parents told you or what you were surrounded by when you were a child. As a matter of fact, at zero to seven years old, you are in trance as well as in a theta state. So in the first seven years of our life, we just download all this information to construct who we are. And along the way, we start to see ourselves. Me, this is self, this is show. So that's why this is such challenging work and it's not easy because you kind of like letting go of everything you know and everything that makes you, you. But here's the thing: you're stepping into a new chapter and there's something that you need to let go.

very shy and insecure and still very very introverted. So this is when Moz realized that if you don't change your inner image, the outer change actually doesn't make any difference. And he called this psychoson addicts and he wrote a book about this. So this is

02:08

04:04

about oh I am successful. It's like I'm ident changed. That's not how it works.
04:10

When I transformed myself from this struggling coach or you know not a leader just another guy on Instagram to a leader with a mission, a leader with powerful powerful alchemy to help people's lives. And this is when everything changed. And
04:32
Speaker A
materialistically speaking, yes, my income went from 10K per month. Stuck 10 to 15K. I was stuck for 12 months. My income didn't grow. I've changed marketing. I've changed copyrighter.

05:51

I didn't even think unconsciously that I am worthy of making millions of dollars. So deep down I acted like I'm confident.
06:01
Speaker A
I yeah I did fake until you make it and I did all the affirmations and consciously saying all these things but deep down I was still a same person. And then I really focused on my self-image every single day. And this is the only
06:15
Speaker A
thing I focus self-image self-image self-image every single day. And after 3 months of doing that, finally finally something that just shined on me. And then my income went 10K to 50K per month. And then after 6 months, finally
06:32

06:44
Speaker A
So you kind of get panicked or it's very easy for all of us to fall back because it's comfortable. We all know the past and everything that we went through as well as your identity, right? So that's why this is difficult. The most
06:58
Speaker A
difficult thing in your life is not making money. It's not 10xing your income. It's not, you know, getting all this stuff in your life and traveling to Bali. Right now this is not my house or anything. You know, I'm traveling to
07:10
Speaker A
Bali. I'm about to run a seminar for entrepreneurs tomorrow. But the most difficult thing that you can face in your life is to change yourself because your identity up to today it's so familiar right you feel so comfortable
07:26
Speaker A
being this version of you because how do you define yourself well I am Shaamoto I'm Japanese you know I I speak two different languages and uh I'm only child and I do this this this I'm a coach and then I you know make contents
07:42
Speaker A
So 99.9999% of your identity comes from the past. So what does it mean? It means you define yourself as what happened or what you heard or what your parents told you or what you were surrounded by when you're
08:01
Speaker A
a child. As a matter of fact, at 0 to 7 years old, you are in trance and as well as in a theta state. So in the first seven years of our life we just downloading all these informations to
08:11
Speaker A
construct who we are and along the way we start to see ourselves me. This is self this is show. So that's why this is such a challenging work and it's not easy because you kind of like letting go
08:25
Speaker A
everything you know and everything that makes you you. But here's the thing you're stepping into a new chapter and there's something that you need to let go. There's something that you're attached to it. But that is exactly why
08:35
Speaker A
you're not successful as you wish to be. That's why you're not making the money you want to have. And that's why you're not living the life that you want to live because you just feel too good in the past. And then now it's time to let
08:49
Speaker A
go. And now it's time to step into as a new version of you, a new person. See, instead of like looking back and like feeling sad and nostalgic, you know, about the past, get excited what's coming. Get excited what's new
09:04
Speaker A
for you. And what hit me the most is that the reality is like a mirror. It doesn't give you what you want. It gives you you. In Zen, they say the moon doesn't try to shine. It just simply
09:17
Speaker A
reflects the sun. When your consciousness expands, your image becomes divine again. You stop fighting your shadows, but you started remembering who you truly are. That version of you that existed before fear, before trauma, before old conditioned, that environment in society did that to
09:38
Speaker A
you. And that's who you really are. So, let me ask you something. Do you want to keep being who you have been or do you want to be who you really want to be?
09:48
Speaker A
Remembering who you are, the divine within you as well as worthy and so confident and so abundant. You can make so much money, can be a superstar, best public speaker, inspiring so many people, sharing with so many people and
10:02
Speaker A
then helping so many people and then you can be that person. But you have to let go of who you have been because that version of you from the past, the version of you right now, who you are right now is not that
10:16
Speaker A
person. So you have to accept it and now take that off. You don't need it anymore because you need something better for you, something more exciting, something more abundant and confident and authentic. So, I'm going to literally change your self-image right
10:34
Speaker A
now with the hypnosis. And this is one of the best hypnosis I ever found and designed in my life. And it was funny because I've done so many hypnosis and I've experimented with more than thousand people and how this mind works
10:51
Speaker A
and how I can go deep into their minds to really change their code in subconscious so that we can create this transformation in identity level. And as I said in this video, if you change your identity, your reality will change
11:07
Speaker A
everything because again, it gives you you. So let's make sure you're not driving a car or anything or using any dangerous machine or anything because hypnosis you might go deep. Okay? So that would be a little bit dangerous. So
11:22
Speaker A
that's why make sure you're comfortable. You're sitting comfortably or maybe laying down. Okay? So make sure you're comfortable, absolutely comfortable. So let me explain how it works. I'm going to do sleep. Okay? I snap my fingers and if I say sleep, then you're not going to
11:37
Speaker A
go for sleep. You actually close your eyes and then your body and mind relax and then you go into the deep trance.
11:44
Speaker A
The trance is called alternative state of consciousness and then you as a matter of fact 99% you're in trance. So when I take you to a trance that's a hypnotic trance. Okay. So pretty much it's very relaxing and then if you go
12:01
Speaker A
into pretty deep that's okay. So that's why make sure you're comfortable and then just follow my voice and then just accept what I'm saying and just when I say sleep you close your eyes and then you relax your body. All right. Now I
12:14
Speaker A
want you to look up in a high ceiling just with your eyes. Not like that but then just like that and then look up the high ceiling. Okay? And then decide one spot that you want to look at and just
12:25
Speaker A
stare at that spot. Cool. So now I want you to look at that one spot and just focus on the one spot that you're looking at. And then notice that your eyelids are getting heavier and heavier and heavier. Now it's
12:39
Speaker A
getting heavier and heavier and heavier. Now you start to feel the eyelids are getting heavier and you start to blink faster. You have to blink more. It's getting kind of sleepy eyes. And then relax it. And now if you feel that don't
12:54
Speaker A
hesitate, don't resist. Just allow yourself to close your eyes and sleep all the way down, all the way deep. Now, if I say sleep, you're going to trance.
13:03
Speaker A
And then you genuinely feel relaxed and rested. And now have a deep breath in and out.
13:12
Speaker A
Now feel the relaxation in your mind. Feel the relaxation in your body. And again, realize that your eyelids are so heavy and so relaxed that you cannot open it. And now you realize that it's getting heavier and heavier and heavier
13:24
Speaker A
every breath you take. And now it's completely stuck. You cannot even open it. And now if you accept that, go ahead and try it out. And now sleep all the way down. All the way deep. Now allow yourself to go deeper and deeper and
13:39
Speaker A
deeper. 10 times deeper. And realize you feel so relaxed. And then you can focus on my sound of my voice. Imagine you're standing in front of you. And then you're seeing yourself and there are so many armors. There's so
13:54
Speaker A
many masks you're wearing. And this is basically your identity. And this can be I'm not good enough or I'm not worthy or I'm not a business person. I'm not artist. I'm not creative. All these masks and insecurity that you have
14:11
Speaker A
creating this armor and the masks that you cannot even reach who you really are in the core. and notice which mask you're wearing and which armor you're wearing to protect yourself and to protect your inner child. And now one by
14:25
Speaker A
one I want you to take that off one by one like you're taking the scale off from the fish. It's one by one and you start to feel lighter and lighter and lighter as you do so. And one by one
14:42
Speaker A
it's going away one by one getting lighter and lighter and lighter. take them off. Everything was completely gone from your body. And now you see yourself completely shining in a different energy and then feeling amazing and smiling at
14:55
Speaker A
you and then radiating this beautiful powerful energy, confidence, self-love and abundance. And this version of you, this person that you're seeing right now has everything you ever wanted. Success, family, love, money, everything. And how does that person look like?
15:14
Speaker A
And now I'm going to tell you to breathe in. And as you breathe in and you breathe that person into your body and then literally you start to feel that energy inside of you, the confidence and self- loveve and abundance and then
15:26
Speaker A
richness within you. Now have a deep breath in and imagine that you're breathing that person into your body energetically and then expands into the entire world.
15:38
Speaker A
And now wide awake. Open your eyes. And then you feel fantastic. And now you're ready to start a day or you're ready to go for sleep.
15:47
Speaker A
Now make sure you're wide awake. You're completely out of the trance. Feel great. You're fantastic. Your self image is completely completely different. And again, when you change your self-image, when you change your identity in the deepest level, your reality changes.
16:01
Speaker A
This is how I scaled my business, not the marketing, not the strategy. So, if you're entrepreneur feeling stuck or self-sabotaging with this income ceiling that you're experiencing right now, it could be 10K per month, 20K per month, and you want to hit 100K or 200K or even
16:16
Speaker A
a million a month, then you have to reprogram your subconscious in identity level. So, apply from the link in the description and me and my team will speak to you and then explain exact formula that we use. All right, with
16:29
Speaker A
that said, I genuinely hope my hypnosis helped. And if you really want to make a change, if you really want to grow fast and become the best version of yourself so that you don't waste the next 5 10
16:40
Speaker A
years, make sure you apply and then hit the subscribe button, notification bell, and it helps me so much because I can reach more people and I can help more people and share this information. I'll see you in the next video. Peace.
