Shadowing Practice: How To Create Self-Image So Powerful The Reality Has To Obey You - Learn English Speaking with Video

Back in the 1960s, the plastic surgeon named Maxwell Maltz finds something very, very strange.

He'd fix someone's faces and remove scars and reshape their nose, and then some of them start acting like outgoing and amazingly confident, just like that.

But others, they still look 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 it psychosypanetics

and he wrote a book about it

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 the more the neuroscience backed him with the proper study

and the researches the ROES 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 amount with your identity that means

if you think I'm unlucky then this is exactly what you get in your brain seeks the evidence

to match with their 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 go

and find 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 it's gonna be deleted distorted

and then generalized by the filter up in your mind

so this is a reason why 99% of 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 finding the reason

and evidence that you're not worth it that you're not confident

that you cannot do it the worst part that system

and in that subconscious programming is so strong

that you cannot outperform your subconscious

but hear me out there's 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 bullshit

but through an actual deep emotional rehearsal and

that my friend is called hypnosis and hypnosis is a reprogramming

and that's what we are about to do right now in

this video listen you don't need more discipline you don't need more or another strategy, or another marketing plan, or another employee in your company.

But what you need is a new identity.

Because every thoughts and emotions and actions and literally mental decision up in your mind, there's hundreds of mental decisions, hundreds of physical action that you automatically do.

Everything is coming from your identity.

The identity literally curate the desire as well as the pattern and an expected result in your reality.

And therefore, there's a specific action plan that's already planned up in your mind.

So if you change your subconscious in identity level, everything that follows the identity will change automatically.

But in other words, if you don't change that deepest 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 then you're adding another path here and then 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, how much work you put into it.

It follows beliefs, it follows system.

It's almost like an operation 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 in an identity level.

Listen, this is not about, oh, I am successful, so I'm 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, leader with powerful, powerful alchemy to help people's lives.

And this is when everything changed.

And then 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 copyright.

I've changed business.

I've changed everything.

Everything.

I've tried everything.

Spent thousands of dollars.

Nothing has 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 need to really focus on my mind

because I've done all this external work funny enough I was in this trap of marketing gurus right

and 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 seems fancy

and it sounds good so I was like just reading another marketing book

and then watching another marketing gurus YouTube and then buying courses, joining coaching, nothing had happened.

Interesting.

Interestingly, nothing happened.

I was still stuck at 10k every month.

However, when I created that internal shift because I realized that I was too focused on external.

So 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.

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 the same person.

And then I really focused on my self-image every single day.

And this is the only thing I focused, self-image, self-image, self-image every single day and after three 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 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 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

100

so that's why this is difficult the most difficult thing in

101

your life is not making money it's not 10x in your

102

income it's not you know getting all this stuff in your life

103

and traveling to Bali right now this is not my house

104

or anything you know I'm traveling to Bali I'm about to I will run a seminar for entrepreneurs tomorrow.

105

But the most difficult thing that you can face in your life is to change yourself.

106

Because your identity aptitude today, it's so familiar, right?

107

You feel so comfortable being this version of you.

108

Because how do you define yourself?

109

Well, I am Shonomoto, I'm Japanese, you know, I speak two different languages, and I'm only child, and I do this,

110

this, this, coaching and I you know make contents

111

so 99.9999% of your identity comes from the past

112

so what does it mean it means you define yourself as what happened

113

or what you heard or what your parents told you

114

or what you were surrounded by when you're a child as a matter of fact

115

that zero to seven years old you are in trance

116

and as well as in a theta state

117

so in the first seven years of a We are just downloading all these informations to construct who we are.

118

And along the way, we start to see ourselves, me.

119

This is self, this is show.

120

So that's why this is such a challenging work

121

and it's not easy because you kind of like letting go everything you know

122

and everything that makes you you

123

but here's the thing you're stepping into a new chapter

124

and there's something that you need to let go there's something

125

that you're attached to it but

126

that is exactly why you're not successful as you wish to

127

be that's why you're not making the money you want to have

128

and that's why you're not living the life that you want to live

129

because you just feel too good in the past

130

and then now it's time to let go

131

and now it's time to step into as a new version

132

of you new person see instead of like looking back

133

and like feeling sad

134

and nostalgic you know about the past get excited what's coming get excited what's new for you

135

and what he made the most is

136

that the reality is like a mirror it doesn't give you

137

what you want it gives you you in zen they say the moon doesn't try to shine, it just simply reflects the sun.

138

When your consciousness expands, your image becomes divine again.

139

You stop fighting your shadows, but you start remembering who you truly are.

140

That version of you that existed before fear, before trauma, before all these conditions, that environment and society did that to you.

141

And that's who you really are.

142

So let me ask you something.

143

Do you want to keep being who you have been?

144

or do you want to be who you really want to be?

145

Remembering who you are, the divine within you, as well as worthy and so confident and so abundant, you can make so much money,

146

can be a superstar, best public speaker, inspiring so many people, sharing with so many people and then helping so many people and then you can be that person,

147

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,

148

who you are right now, is not that person.

149

So you have to accept it and now take that shit off.

150

You don't need it anymore because you need something better for you.

151

Something more exciting, something more abundant and confident and authentic.

152

So I am going to literally change your self-image right now with the hypnosis.

153

And this is one of the best hypnosis I ever found and designed in my life.

154

And it was funny because I've done so many prenosis

155

and I've experimented with more than thousand people and how this mind works

156

and how I can go deep into their minds to really change their code

157

and subconscious so that we can create this transformation in identity level.

158

And as I said in this video, if you change your identity, your reality will change everything because again, it gives you you.

159

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?

160

So that would be a little bit dangerous.

161

So let's make sure you're comfortable, you're sitting comfortably or maybe laying down, okay?

162

So make sure you're comfortable, absolutely comfortable.

163

So let me explain how it works.

164

I'm going to do sleep, okay?

165

If it's not my fingers, then if I say sleep, then you're not going to go for sleep.

166

You actually close your eyes and then your body and mind relax and then you go into the deep trance.

167

The trance is called alternative state of consciousness and then as a matter of fact, 99% you're in trance.

168

So when I take you to a trance, that's a hypnotic trance.

169

Okay, so pretty much it's very relaxing and then if you go into pretty deep, that's okay.

170

So that's why I make sure you're comfortable

171

and then just follow my voice and just accept what I'm saying and just when I say sleep, close your eyes and then you relax your body.

172

All right, now I want to look up in a high ceiling just with your eyes, not like that, but then just like that and look up the high ceiling,

173

okay, and then decide one spot that you want to look at and just stare at that spot.

174

Cool.

175

So now I want to look at that one spot

176

and just focus on the one spot that you're looking at

177

and then notice that your eyelids are getting heavier and heavier and heavier.

178

Now it's getting heavier and heavier

179

and heavier now you start to feel the eyelids are getting heavier

180

and you start to blink faster you have to blink more it's getting kind of sleepy eyes

181

and then relaxing and now if you feel

182

that don't hesitate don't resist just allow yourself to close your eyes and sleep all all the way down, all the way deep.

183

Now if I say sleep, you're going to trance and then you genuinely feel relaxed and rested.

184

And now, have a deep breath in. And out.

185

Now feel the relaxation in your mind, feel the relaxation in your body.

186

And again, realize that your eyelids are so heavy and so relaxed that you cannot open it.

187

And now you realize that it's getting heavier and heavier and heavier every breath you take.

188

And now it's completely stuck.

189

You cannot even open it.

190

And now if you accept that, go ahead and try it out.

191

And now sleep all the way down, all the way deep.

192

Now allow yourself to go deeper and deeper and deeper, 10 times deeper and realize you feel so relaxed.

193

And then you can focus on my sound of my voice.

194

Imagine you're standing in front of you and then you're seeing yourself.

195

And there are so many armors, there are so many masks you're wearing.

196

And this is basically your identity.

197

And this can be, I'm not good enough, or I'm not worthy, or I'm not a business person.

198

I'm not artist, I'm not creative.

199

All these masks and the security that you have creating this armor

200

and the masks that you cannot even reach who you really are in the core.

201

And notice which mask you're wearing and which armor you're wearing to protect yourself and to protect your inner child.

202

And now one by one, I want you to take that off.

203

One by one.

204

Like you're taking the scale off from the fish.

205

It's one by one.

206

And you start to feel lighter and lighter and lighter as you do so.

207

And one by one.

208

It's going away one by one.

209

Getting lighter and lighter and lighter.

210

Take them off.

211

Everything was completely gone from your body.

212

And now you see yourself completely shining in a different energy

213

and then feeling amazing and smiling at you

214

and then radiating this beautiful powerful energy confidence self-love and abundance

215

and this version of you this person

216

that you're seeing right now has everything you ever wanted success family love money everything

217

and how does that person look like

218

and now i'm going to tell you to breathe in

219

and as you breathe in and you breathe that person into your body

220

and then literally you start to feel that energy inside of you the confidence

221

and self-love and an abundance and a richness within you now have a deep breath in

222

and imagine that you're breathing that person into your body energetically and then expands

223

into the entire world and now wide awake open your eyes

224

and then you feel fantastic and now Now you're ready to start a day or you're ready to go for sleep.

225

Now make sure you're wide awake, you're completely out of the trance, feel great, fantastic, your self-image is completely different.

226

And again, when you change your self-image, when you change your identity at deepest level, your reality changes.

227

This is how I scaled my business, not the marketing, not the strategy.

228

So if you're an entrepreneur feeling stuck or self-sabotaging with this income ceiling that you're experiencing right now, it could be 10K per month,

229

20K per month, and you want to hit 100K or 200K or even a million a month, then you have to reprogram your subconscious and identity level.

230

So apply from the link in the description and me

231

and my team will speak to you and explain the exact formula that we use.

232

All right, with that said, I genuinely hope my hypnosis helped.

233

And if you really want to make a change, if you really want to grow fast and become the best version of yourself

234

so that you don't waste the next five, 10 years.

235

Make sure you apply and then hit the subscribe button, notification bell, and it helps me so much

236

because I can reach more people and I can help more people and share this information.

237

I'll see you in the next video.

238

Peace.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
