  Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside
• 0:11
  access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing genuine
• 0:15
  issues. Brought to you by the
• 0:17
  hypnotherapist, Demanded by celebrities, CEOs and even
• 0:21
  royalty Adam Cox. These recordings took place live
• 0:24
  from Evans Clinic in London's world famous Harley Street.
• 0:31
  So get yourself comfortable and enjoy today's episode of The
• 0:35
  Hypnotist. And I'm outside of my studio
• 0:44
  today, and I'm actually in a place called Framlingham Castle,
• 0:48
  which is a very old castle here in Suffolk in England.
• 0:53
  If you're listening to the podcast, you might hear a little
• 0:56
  bit of a breeze going into the microphone.
• 0:58
  But if you're watching the video version of this on either
• 1:01
  Spotify or YouTube, then right now you're going to be seeing an
• 1:04
  ancient castle right behind me. And I'm going to use this
• 1:08
  ancient castle as a metaphor for boundaries, but also for
• 1:14
  resilience. And I think boundaries and
• 1:15
  resilience are some of those things that are incredibly
• 1:19
  useful for everyone because you can always have stronger
• 1:23
  boundaries and you can always be more resilient.
• 1:26
  And sometimes you need to have your defenses attacked to
• 1:31
  realize how resilient you are or where you need to increase your
• 1:36
  defenses. And that's why This Castle Ruins
• 1:39
  Behind Me is quite a good metaphor for that.
• 1:43
  Now, if you're listening and you like the kind of stuff that I
• 1:46
  do, check out the description. And there will be lots of free
• 1:50
  things like free courses, free downloads that you can check
• 1:54
  out. But if you just want to listen
• 1:56
  to the hypnosis audio now, find a quiet, comfortable place where
• 2:03
  you're not going to be disturbed.
• 2:05
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 2:22
  you breathe in, breathe in that resourceful feeling of calm and
• 2:28
  relaxation. And as you exhale, just allow
• 2:34
  any feelings of worry, stress, or tension to feel like it's
• 2:41
  leaving your body in your outward breath.
• 2:44
  And when you breathe in, allow yourself to breathe in for
• 2:51
  longer. And as you exhale, just allow
• 2:58
  the feelings of any worry, stress, or tension to feel like
• 3:03
  it's leaving your body in your outward breath.
• 3:09
  So much so that each breath you take allow it to be deeper and
• 3:18
  longer and more effortless than the previous breath.
• 3:25
  That's right, breathing in that relaxation and exhaling that
• 3:34
  tension, each breath takes you deeper and deeper than the last.
• 3:44
  As your body relaxes, your imagination awakens and I wonder
• 3:52
  what it would feel like to keep your body exactly where you are
• 3:56
  right now, and for your imagination to go and float back
• 4:03
  in time. And I want you to imagine what
• 4:08
  it would feel like to float back in time to an ancient medieval
• 4:17
  castle, just as it was first being built maybe 78900 years
• 4:26
  ago. I want you to witness maybe the
• 4:32
  Duke or the Baron of the time deciding on the perfect location
• 4:39
  to build. Maybe on a hill, maybe in a high
• 4:44
  vantage point, in a place that they knew it would have the
• 4:49
  ability to see for miles around. Observe as they collect
• 4:56
  resources needed to build the castle, perhaps chopping down
• 5:04
  trees to really create the structures, the scaffolding.
• 5:11
  And I want you to get a sense of just how much original stone
• 5:15
  would have been required. And just imagine what would have
• 5:20
  taken perhaps decades. You get to see in just a few
• 5:24
  moments, like time lapse photography, I just get a sense
• 5:29
  of how the castle, the towers, perhaps even the Moat or the
• 5:37
  ditch around it, even the drawbridge were all created
• 5:43
  purely to defend. And I want you to get a sense
• 5:48
  that all of your life's experiences up to this point
• 5:53
  have been building your castle walls.
• 5:58
  Every experience that you've ever had, every mistake you've
• 6:02
  ever made, has given you wisdom, has given you insights.
• 6:09
  And I want you to get a sense that your castle walls are built
• 6:15
  on the foundation of your experience.
• 6:19
  And the walls are your wisdom as you breathe in and breathe out.
• 6:26
  I wonder what it would feel like to feel like you are in the
• 6:32
  castle. And the castle walls represent
• 6:37
  your boundaries, your rules to keep you safe.
• 6:44
  And I want you to get a sense that if you ever feel taken
• 6:48
  advantage of, if you ever feel that you're frustrated that you
• 6:53
  said yes to something that you didn't really want to do, what
• 6:59
  you can learn from that is that currently your castle walls are
• 7:04
  not strong enough. And I want you to imagine
• 7:09
  reflecting back on recent experiences and getting a sense
• 7:15
  that now is the time. That if those same things from
• 7:21
  your past happened now in your present or near future, that you
• 7:29
  would handle them differently because your boundaries and
• 7:33
  defenses are stronger than ever before.
• 7:40
  As you breathe in and breathe out, I want you to imagine being
• 7:46
  the castle walls. As you breathe in and breathe
• 7:51
  out, I want you to feel that anything within the castle walls
• 7:55
  that is no longer serving you. Perhaps a belief or an emotion.
• 8:03
  Intrusive thoughts. Just allow those to exit the
• 8:07
  castle over the drawbridge and instead allow things outside of
• 8:14
  the castle into the castle. It would be beneficial for you
• 8:22
  and maybe that would be more confidence, more assertiveness,
• 8:28
  perhaps more self belief or self love.
• 8:31
  All of the things that you want more of.
• 8:34
  Allow into the castle and any frustrations or anger,
• 8:41
  resentment or regret, Allow that to leave the castle.
• 8:46
  And when you're confident that what you desire is in the castle
• 8:53
  and what you would like to have left the castle, has left the
• 8:57
  castle. I'm going to count from 1:00 to
• 9:01
  10:00, and I want you to imagine raising the drawbridge.
• 9:06
  That means that those things that you don't want in your
• 9:10
  castle cannot easily return. So just imagine that winch or
• 9:19
  ratchet mechanism and as I count from 1:00 to 10:00 you will
• 9:23
  imagine raising the drawbridge. Everything you desire is in your
• 9:29
  castle walls, and everything you no longer desire is outside of
• 9:37
  your castle walls. Starting to count one.
• 9:42
  Just raising that drawbridge 2. See it getting higher, and as
• 9:49
  the drawbridge raises, your relaxation gets even deeper 3.
• 9:59
  Even more 4. It's already impossible for
• 10:02
  those things to return now 5. The drawbridge is halfway raised
• 10:10
  and then six, nearly there, completely at the top 7.
• 10:16
  Just imagine that drawbridge nearly at the top now and then
• 10:21
  8-9 and ten. And now imagine the drawbridge
• 10:27
  is fully raised and the port colors.
• 10:31
  That metal gate then is lowered. Your castle walls are now
• 10:41
  impenetrable, but let's make them even stronger.
• 10:47
  I want you to imagine you now take a bird's eye perspective
• 10:52
  and you're able to see the castle from above and the
• 10:57
  outside. And I want you to be scanning
• 11:02
  for weaknesses in your castle defences.
• 11:07
  Maybe the walls could be taller or thicker, maybe more turrets
• 11:14
  or towers. Maybe you could build an army or
• 11:19
  a Garrison to defend your castle.
• 11:22
  And as you imagine these things happening, I want you to feel
• 11:28
  your inner feeling of resilience increasing.
• 11:33
  Feel your boundaries getting stronger and stronger than ever
• 11:38
  before, and imagine your resilience at new levels.
• 11:46
  But if we've built and reinforced and even allocated
• 11:54
  resources like a Garrison to defend your castle, then we need
• 12:00
  a battle to test it. So I want you to imagine
• 12:06
  something that happened in the past that violated your
• 12:11
  boundaries is now happening now. But you control an army, you
• 12:18
  control the castle. And I want you to imagine how
• 12:24
  you would behave and deal with that same situation differently
• 12:31
  now that you have this strong boundaries and resilience and
• 12:35
  defences. And you can play out different
• 12:40
  scenarios, different ways of thinking about that situation
• 12:48
  and keep doing that until you find the perfect way to handle
• 12:54
  that situation. So much so that what happened in
• 12:59
  the past could not happen in your future.
• 13:04
  Not because the outside world has changed, but because you are
• 13:11
  stronger, more resilient, and have more ability to defend
• 13:20
  against those people that may exploit you, demean you, take
• 13:26
  advantage of you. I want you to feel stronger than
• 13:31
  ever before. But let's do one final Test.
• 13:37
  I want you to consider a situation that hasn't happened,
• 13:42
  but if it did happen, it would be a challenge for you.
• 13:48
  Maybe it's someone very pushy. Maybe there's power dynamics at
• 13:53
  play. Maybe there's coercion or
• 13:57
  expectation. And I want you to imagine that
• 14:02
  scenario happening like a battle against your castle.
• 14:08
  And I want you to think about yourself in the third person,
• 14:13
  how that version of you with those strong defenses and
• 14:16
  boundaries would deal with that situation.
• 14:21
  Just get a sense of are you using language, decisions,
• 14:29
  confidence or something else? Sometimes silence and simply not
• 14:37
  responding can be a way of defending.
• 14:42
  And the deeper you breathe, the more resilient you feel.
• 14:46
  And I want you to see that future version of you
• 14:50
  impenetrable to the kind of things that may have made you
• 14:53
  feel bad or weak or taken advantage of in the past.
• 15:01
  And when you've seen that future version of you successfully
• 15:06
  defend that situation, then imagine stepping into that
• 15:12
  future version of you, feeling all of that strength, all of
• 15:19
  that pride, all of that confidence, feeling that you're
• 15:22
  able to do more of what you like and less of those things that
• 15:27
  you have no desire to do. It's time to leave this castle.
• 15:35
  But before we leave, I want you to imagine going to the throne
• 15:41
  room, and I want you to imagine sitting on the throne and
• 15:47
  feeling of infinite self worth. Perhaps you could imagine robes
• 15:55
  or even a crown. But as you sit on that throne,
• 16:01
  hold the posture of someone with infinite confidence, infinite
• 16:06
  self esteem, an infinite self worth.
• 16:10
  I want you to feel so valuable of you and yourself exactly as
• 16:19
  you are. Harness that feel that way and
• 16:25
  hold on to that feeling. And whenever you think of a
• 16:30
  castle or a throne, you will reactivate this feeling.
• 16:36
  A feeling of empowerment, autonomy, and a wonderful
• 16:44
  feeling of being in control of your destiny.
• 16:50
  I want you to imagine keeping the drawbridge raised, the port
• 16:53
  colors down, and imagine floating back to your reality.
• 16:59
  Because this castle now represents your boundaries, your
• 17:05
  resilience, and the the throne represents yourself worth.
• 17:10
  But it's time to float back, taking all of these feelings
• 17:13
  with you. Take a deep breath in through
• 17:18
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 17:23
  Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
• 17:27
  Connect and calibrate into the here and the now as I now count
• 17:31
  from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 17:35
  Starting to count 123 Waking up 456.
• 17:41
  More alert 7-8. Open your eyes, open your eyes,
• 17:47
  910. Wide awake, wide awake, wide
• 17:51
  awake. Thank you so much for spending
• 18:04
  your time to listen to this Castle inspired hypnosis
• 18:08
  session. If you're a regular listener or
• 18:13
  follower of the show, you'll know that the vast majority of
• 18:17
  the hypnosis sessions that I record are inside my studio.
• 18:22
  I like recording these outside hypnosis sessions inspired by
• 18:26
  nature and architecture and real situations.
• 18:29
  So let me know in the comments or perhaps let me know by liking
• 18:34
  or sharing this with someone that might appreciate it,
• 18:37
  because that will tell me that you appreciate this type of
• 18:41
  content compared to just the studio hypnosis and that will
• 18:44
  increase my motivation to record more of them.
• 18:47
  That would be very much appreciated.
• 18:49
