0:07
issues. Brought to you by the
0:10
hypnotherapist, demanded by celebrities, CEOs and even
0:14
royalty. Adam Cox.
0:16
These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's
0:19
world famous Harley Street. This podcast features powerful
0:23
hypnosis, so do not listen while driving or operating machinery.
0:27
This recording is not suitable for those with epilepsy or
0:30
severe mental health issues, so get yourself comfortable and
0:34
enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
0:45
Hi, it's Adam here. And you're going to be listening
0:48
to a hypnosis session all about patience.
0:51
And if you've ever felt that certain people can trigger you,
0:56
rub you up the wrong way, set you off or push your buttons,
1:00
then you're going to benefit from this particular hypnosis
1:02
session. And I was working with a client
1:05
who was a very successful person, but they were going
1:08
through an unamicable breakup and due to circumstances they
1:14
were living in the same place as their ex and their ex.
1:19
Would. Have to discuss certain things
1:20
with them, but they would take that as an opportunity to
1:23
trigger them in certain ways. And what this client wanted to
1:26
feel is that they wanted to feel like even if they were trying to
1:31
be provoked and buttons were trying to be pressed, they
1:35
wouldn't take the bait. They wouldn't respond perhaps in
1:38
the way that they had done previously.
1:41
And there's lots. Of metaphor.
1:43
Lots of direct. Suggestions In this hypnosis
1:45
session, for example, this client felt that the Shaolin
1:50
monks had this level of mental fortitude that nothing could
1:56
disturb their inner peace. So we use this idea of the
1:59
Shaolin monks. These are the monks that do
2:01
these incredible physical feats and they tend to wear these kind
2:05
of orange or bright yellow robes.
2:07
So we use this as a as a resource state, a role model.
2:12
There's also this idea of a force field.
2:15
There's other things as well, like dialing down and creating
2:19
perceived distance between them and the person trying to trigger
2:24
them. And also an element of future
2:25
pacing. So they can really get this idea
2:28
that they can know for sure that it's almost like a game.
2:32
That if they can listen to what's being said and not lose
2:36
their call, then they win. And by framing it as a game and
2:41
seeing the future version of this themself, handling it in
2:44
that way, that then empowers them to make them feel that
2:48
they're able to unleash that level of patience and mental
2:52
fortitude. So if you can relate to this
2:54
idea that certain people can rub you up the wrong way, I think
2:57
you'll benefit from this. And I want you to imagine them
3:00
in this hypnosis session trying to do that but not being
3:03
successful because you've activated new resources.
3:07
So. Think about that.
3:09
If you like the stuff that I do, check out the description or the
3:12
show notes. There's lots of free things that
3:15
I'm giving away that you can just click and download those.
3:18
And if you like the idea of working with me, then actually
3:21
there will be a link in the description where you can book a
3:23
free consultation call. We can have a chat on Zoom and
3:26
you can see if I'm the right hypnotherapist to work.
3:28
With you. For now, though, find a quiet,
3:31
comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
3:33
Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in and as you
4:35
breathe in, breathe in that resourceful feeling of calm and
4:41
relaxation. And as you exhale, just allow
4:50
your eyelids to feel heavier and more relaxed, and notice with
4:56
your eyes closed how much easier it becomes.
5:02
To focus. On the sound of my voice,
5:08
breathing in, relaxation and exhaling.
5:15
Any stress, any worries, any feelings of tension, That's it.
5:27
I want you to use the power of your imagination to imagine an
5:35
ancient temple high up in the mountains and imagine being
5:42
surrounded by monks that are wearing bright orange.
6:12
And I want you to see, see their expressions, that look of being
6:23
centred, that unflappable, unfazable, calm.
6:37
And I wonder if you could imagine that you've been
6:41
training here in this temple for many years.
6:51
I want you to get a sense of how it would feel to train your
6:57
brain, your mind, and your emotions to be impenetrable to
7:07
the game playing of anyone else. And of course, others may try
7:14
and bait you, but that doesn't mean you have to take the bait.
7:23
I want you to consider yourself the mouse that sees the cheese
7:29
in the trap but knows there is a trap.
7:35
That ability to see exactly what's happening and to choose
7:41
how best to deal with that situation.
7:49
And I want you to imagine being in that meditative pose,
7:56
breathing how the Shaolin monks would breathe.
8:02
And I want you to imagine breathing in pure calm, perhaps
8:10
the fresh air from that mountainside near the temple,
8:19
and just feeling. Feeling that in order for any
8:24
skill to improve, it requires intention and practice.
8:36
Because nobody goes to a gym and gets stronger by lifting very
8:42
light weights. The heavier the weight, the
8:47
stronger they become. And I want you to get a sense
8:52
that you are in a uniquely fortunate position.
9:01
You get to be tested by someone very adept and skilled, perhaps
9:10
even a master, at provoking and triggering, encouraging people
9:19
to lose their call to get to that breaking point.
9:29
But what if this wasn't a problem, but an opportunity?
9:35
Opportunity to have such resilience and mental fortitude
9:43
that it becomes impossible for you to be triggered or provoked
9:51
unless you decide your response or reaction is useful.
10:03
Because if someone gets angry and they choose to show that
10:07
rage, that's a response, not a triggered reaction.
10:16
And I want you to imagine being there in the temple.
10:21
Perhaps you can even imagine wearing those orange robes,
10:28
breathing in calm, exhaling tension.
10:34
And I want you to imagine a glowing force field around you.
10:42
Think of the colour of that force field, and maybe it's just
10:49
a barrier of energy. Or maybe it's something solid
10:55
like bulletproof glass or thick perspex.
11:01
Maybe it's a futuristic bubble like membrane.
11:08
Or perhaps futuristic nanotechnology, The ability to
11:15
create an instant barrier for some and yet it doesn't exist
11:20
for others. You've seen those sunglasses,
11:26
then are normal glasses, and then when the sun comes out,
11:30
they instantly go dark. I want you to imagine that you
11:34
have a force field that is only activated when you need it.
11:43
I want you to picture that force field and then imagine being
11:47
there, there in the temple, and imagine a specific person that
11:57
in the past has got to you, has triggered you.
12:01
And I want you to imagine they have an intention.
12:10
Their intention is not to communicate or solve a problem,
12:15
find common ground. It is simply to rattle you, to
12:23
upset you, to make you lose your temper.
12:29
And if that happens, they win and they will sleep with a smile
12:34
on their face. But if you don't react in that
12:40
way, you win. And over time, they are forced
12:46
to change their approach, to be more respectful, to respect
12:53
boundaries, because doing it their way no longer works for
12:58
them. But I want you to imagine that
13:02
person tenaciously, intently trying to provoke you.
13:13
But I want you to breathe like a Shaolin monk.
13:17
I want you to imagine that activated force field.
13:23
And even if they're close, I want you to imagine that rather
13:29
than seeing their proximity in metres or feet, I want you to
13:37
imagine counting it in atoms. And when you imagine how many
13:44
atoms are between you and they, perhaps it starts to feel like
13:51
they're 1000 miles away. And when they feel like they're
13:56
far away, and when you feel like you're protected by that force
14:01
field, and when you feel you have that mental fortitude of
14:09
the Shaolin monk, I want you to enjoy it like a game.
14:17
The harder they try, the more resourceful you feel, knowing
14:23
that you have all the options to just listen and not react, to
14:31
make clear what you're willing to do and not willing to do to
14:39
shift your attention away from their words to something else
14:44
like music or something else. I want you to feel that before
14:52
maybe it felt like they had the power to get to you, but now I
14:59
want you to feel that you are safe, you are protected, you are
15:04
resourceful, and it's almost like a game show.
15:10
Imagine then, if you lose your call, they win a million and you
15:15
lose a million. But if it never gets to that
15:19
point, they lose a new win. And just start thinking about
15:26
how you would need to think about the dynamics so that no
15:31
matter what is said or shrieked or shouted or yelled, it never
15:38
gets to that point. It's so far away from breaking
15:43
point. If you can start to imagine
15:49
those dynamics, let me know by nodding your head.
15:54
So now let's imagine she's saying or doing the worst
15:59
possible things to identify a malicious intention.
16:06
There is deceit, lies, shrieking, and yet you are the
16:12
calm in the storm, the eye of the hurricane.
16:18
All the chaos is outside of you, outside of your force field.
16:25
You are the calm in the storm. You can listen, even decode
16:33
what's being said, and then deciding how to respond.
16:39
I want you to get a sense then you can use past events where
16:49
you did lose your call to mentally rehearse what you would
16:55
do if this calm, centred, grounded version of you.
17:03
The version of you that can observe the anger but choose not
17:08
to participate. To know that you are dealing
17:12
with someone extremely skilled, but you feel that you are also
17:18
extremely skilled. Becoming a game of 40 chess
17:24
moves and counter moves. But you will never get to that
17:30
checkmate position where you lose your call.
17:34
You have too many options. Really.
17:39
Imagine them shrieking, but imagine the force field seems to
17:45
turn the volume down on them. They're trying to do whatever
17:50
they do. And then just imagine noticing
17:53
something. Something in the present.
17:56
How something looks, how something sounds, how something
18:00
feels. Mindfulness, the force field.
18:08
The mental fortitude of a Shaolin monk.
18:12
The gamification. I want you to feel that any one
18:16
of these things could make it so you don't get triggered.
18:23
But what if you utilize many of them?
18:28
And maybe there's even a part of you that feels like these
18:34
attempts, rather than break you, build you that actually part of
18:43
you welcomes the practice. A Shaolin monk can't do their
18:51
impressive feats just by wanting to.
18:56
They practice. They do difficult things again
19:00
and again until those difficult things become easy.
19:06
What if this is you training at altitude?
19:10
What if this is your resilience and mental fortitude boot camp?
19:18
The tallest, strongest trees have weathered the fiercest
19:21
storms? What if at some point in the
19:26
future, maybe five years from now, someone else tries to
19:32
provoke you and you smile because of all that practice you
19:37
had in your past? You are unflappable.
19:44
You are immune to these triggers.
19:49
What if that is the opportunity to build a set of counter skills
19:59
that could become even more useful outside of this one
20:03
person? I want you to see that look of
20:10
defeat on their face when they finally give up, that whatever
20:13
they try just isn't working with you.
20:17
And then imagine going forwards in time, seeing yourself in your
20:22
own home. And I want you to see that
20:26
person waiting for the ideal opportunity.
20:31
Maybe you've had a win, something successful.
20:35
Maybe they see you smiling more and they're just waiting to rain
20:38
on your parade. But I want you to see that
20:42
future version of you breathing differently, moving differently,
20:50
See yourself with a new level of internal strength, and imagine
20:56
seeing you with a glowing force field that only appears when
21:01
it's needed. I want you to see yourself as
21:06
that calm, resilient individual, and I want you to see them try
21:16
their hardest to trigger you, to upset you, to make you angry.
21:27
And I want you to get a sense that the harder they are trying,
21:31
the more that version of you becomes more resourceful, more
21:37
patient, more mindful, more protected.
21:49
I want you to get a sense then there is a toddler in everyone
21:59
that just wants attention. If they can't get the kind of
22:01
attention they want, they will get any attention, even if it
22:08
means causing chaos, throwing tantrums, spreading lies,
22:15
because otherwise it feels like they're invisible.
22:20
But every time you react and respond, you're giving them the
22:25
very intention and attention that they want.
22:31
And every time you withhold that attention, you are rewarding
22:36
them for communicating in a more respectful, useful, direct way.
22:47
And if you can see that future version of you responding
22:52
differently with more of the qualities that would help,
22:57
irrespective of what they do, let me know by nodding your
23:02
head. That's it.
23:10
And then imagine stepping into that future version of you, this
23:14
time of year from now, when all of this uncertainty is coming to
23:19
an end. And I want you to tap into a
23:23
feeling of gratitude. But were it not from this
23:29
individual attempting to upset you, hurt you, harm you, you
23:36
would never have that level of resilience, of fortitude, of
23:46
inner strength than you would have done.
23:53
As you breathe in and breathe out, find yourself back in that
23:59
temple. And I want you to see the wisest
24:05
of all of the monks, the Elder. And I want you to see a young,
24:12
angry man approaching the Elder, hurling abuse and insults, lies
24:21
about their character, all the most vile, worst things that
24:26
could be said. And yet the Elder remains
24:31
unshaken, unmoved. And when the younger, vile,
24:40
toxic individual finally gives up with nothing more to say, the
24:47
elder responds and asks. Ask that young man a question.
24:59
If you were to give a gift to an individual and they do not
25:03
accept the gift, to whom does the gift belong?
25:14
The confused young man says. Well, if the gift is never
25:17
accepted, it remains the property of the person that
25:21
tried to give it. At which point the Elder
25:25
explains, I have not accepted your insults, your lies, your
25:34
attempts to assassinate my character.
25:40
So to whom do they belong? I want you to get a sense that
25:49
people can say whatever they want to say.
25:53
Whether you accept them or not is your choice, and if you do
25:59
not accept them, then they belong to whoever attempted to
26:05
give them some to leave that temple.
26:11
But take with it all of that sense of inner peace, that Zen
26:18
feeling, then mental fortitude, that resilience, that
26:22
unflappable rock solid mindset. And also float back with that
26:29
force field and the ability to be mindful and set boundaries to
26:36
respond rather than react. But also the idea that it's all
26:41
just a game and you now will be even more tenacious to win that
26:49
game. So float all the way back to the
26:53
present. Take a deep breath in through
26:59
your nose and out through your nose.
27:05
Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
27:07
That's it. Connect and calibrate into the
27:09
here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken
27:15
you. Starting to count 123 waking up
27:23
