Invincible - Hypnosis to be Fearlessly Defiant and Confident When Public Speaking or Presenting · The Hypnotist

• 0:05
  Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside
• 0:09
  access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing.
• 0:12
  Genuine issues. Brought to you by The
• 0:14
  Hypnotherapist, Demanded by celebrities, CEOs and even
• 0:18
  royalty, Adam Cox. These recordings took place live
• 0:22
  from Adam Smith in London's world famous Harley Street.
• 0:29
  So get yourself comfortable and enjoy today's episode of The
• 0:33
  Hypnotist. How would you like to?
• 0:40
  Feel invincible in. Particular situations where
• 0:45
  you're. Presenting in public.
• 0:47
  And that doesn't matter if it's a best man speech or a company
• 0:51
  presentation or a dinner party or an informal gathering.
• 0:55
  Where you're just. Sharing a particular message or
• 0:58
  all eyes are on you. But if you felt invincible in
• 1:01
  that situation, would it be useful?
• 1:05
  My name is Adam, and I've helped a particular client to feel
• 1:09
  invincible in the kind of situation that was getting them
• 1:14
  on edge and anxious and nervous. Now, this hypnosis session that
• 1:19
  you're about to listen to takes them back to a time where they
• 1:23
  felt really, really good, but it had nothing to do with public
• 1:26
  speaking. It had to do with snowboarding.
• 1:29
  And they felt on one particular day they were in that flow
• 1:33
  state. They felt they could do anything
• 1:35
  and they felt, to use their words, invincible.
• 1:38
  So what this session does? Is.
• 1:40
  It takes that feeling of invincibility and maps it across
• 1:44
  to a public speaking environment.
• 1:48
  Now, to get the best out of this session, I'm going to prime you
• 1:51
  right now. I want you to think even before
• 1:53
  the hypnosis starts, when in your life have you felt
• 1:57
  invincible? And if you can't think of that,
• 2:00
  when in your life have you been in a flow state where whatever
• 2:03
  came up, you felt that you could just deal with it?
• 2:06
  Think of that. And then when you hear the
• 2:09
  beginning of this hypnosis session talking about
• 2:10
  snowboarding, I want you to think about that time that you
• 2:14
  felt either invincible or in a flow state.
• 2:18
  And then that way you're going to get more out of this session.
• 2:22
  Now I also want you to think of the kind of environments where
• 2:25
  you feel anxious. Maybe it's very.
• 2:29
  Senior High. Status, people observing you.
• 2:32
  Maybe it's the size of the audience, maybe it's the fact
• 2:35
  that you feel under prepared or ambushed.
• 2:38
  Whatever it is, think of that. So I want you to think of the
• 2:40
  resource state and the kind of context that currently is making
• 2:44
  you feel anxious. And just by thinking of those
• 2:46
  two thoughts or memories, you're going to get so much more value
• 2:49
  from this session. It was created in it for an
• 2:52
  individual, obviously with the snowboarding reference.
• 2:55
  So not all of the suggestions are going to be right for you,
• 2:57
  but if you like the idea of working with me and you're not
• 2:59
  quite sure. Have a look.
• 3:01
  In the description and you're going to see a suitability test.
• 3:04
  It takes under 2 minutes to do. It just asks you a series of
• 3:08
  questions, you answer them, and then it's going to give you the
• 3:11
  percentage probability that you would actually benefit from
• 3:15
  hypnosis. So if you've been curious about
• 3:17
  that, check that out and it will also let you know what to do
• 3:21
  after that if you are interested in using hypnosis beyond just
• 3:25
  listening to a podcast. For now though, I want you to
• 3:28
  find a quiet, comfortable place, the kind of place where you're
• 3:31
  not going to be distracted or disturbed.
• 3:33
  Relax and enjoy this session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 4:04
  you breathe in, breathe in that long, slow, relaxing breath.
• 4:12
  And as you exhale, feel a feeling of release, releasing
• 4:23
  any tension, any stress, any worries, slowly and
• 4:34
  incrementally. And I want you to think of a
• 4:39
  colour that represents a fusion of relaxation and confidence.
• 4:49
  And maybe it's gold or yellow or something else that might be
• 4:56
  bright or vibrant. And just imagine as you breathe
• 5:02
  in, you're breathing in that color that represents
• 5:06
  resourceful confidence. Imagine it going in through your
• 5:12
  nose into your lungs, and maybe you can imagine your heart
• 5:20
  taking that resourceful confidence in the same way it
• 5:25
  does with oxygen and distributing it to every cell in
• 5:31
  your body. And instead of that carbon
• 5:39
  dioxide leaving your body in the outward breath, I want you to
• 5:42
  imagine anything unresourceful, any fears, any doubts, any
• 5:55
  concerns, any insecurities. Just imagine it leaving your
• 6:04
  body like a grey shadowy sensation, just leaving your
• 6:09
  body as you exhale, breathing in the resourceful confidence and
• 6:19
  exhaling any limitations, any echoes of old experiences,
• 6:33
  narrative stories. Just feel it leave your body in
• 6:39
  your outward breath. The deeper you breathe, the more
• 6:49
  relaxed you feel. And the more relaxed you feel
• 6:56
  the deeper you breathe, each breath taking you deeper and
• 7:07
  deeper, relaxed. And as your body relaxes, your
• 7:14
  imagination awakens. And I want you to imagine.
• 7:21
  Imagine seeing an old phone that maybe you had 20 years ago, or
• 7:32
  maybe an old laptop, an old computer.
• 7:38
  Now. Just imagine finding a location
• 7:42
  filled with old photos and pictures of a particular
• 7:49
  snowboarding trip. And these photos don't have to
• 7:53
  exist, It's just imagine if they did.
• 8:00
  And I want you to imagine seeing photos of you at a time when you
• 8:06
  felt invincible. Some people call it a flow
• 8:12
  state, that period in time where it just feels like you're
• 8:21
  harnessing skills and capabilities beyond what should
• 8:27
  be happening. And I want you to imagine as you
• 8:32
  see these photos, whenever you look at one for more than two
• 8:38
  seconds, it turns into a movie of that moment.
• 8:43
  I want you to see yourself perfectly balanced, gracefully
• 8:50
  or effortlessly gliding down slopes.
• 8:56
  See the creativity, the confidence, the self belief.
• 9:04
  And maybe you're seeing yourself do jumps or manoeuvres that
• 9:09
  you'd never done before. And if you can get a sense that
• 9:14
  this version of you has got absolute belief in their
• 9:20
  capabilities, let me know by nodding your head.
• 9:27
  And I want you to imagine what it would feel like to go into
• 9:32
  the screen, into the picture, into the memory, not in your own
• 9:38
  body yet, but as an observer, see that version of you from the
• 9:46
  past in a highly resourceful state.
• 9:53
  And perhaps you come to a natural conclusion that when
• 9:59
  you're in a highly resourceful state, you don't need to
• 10:04
  overthink. You don't need to over prepare.
• 10:11
  That version of you, when you're at your most resourceful, has
• 10:16
  self belief, self trust and the ability to respond quickly to
• 10:25
  what's actually happening. And as you come to that
• 10:32
  conclusion that if you would have over prepared and
• 10:38
  overthought and had your thoughts in your own head in
• 10:42
  that moment, you would have been worse, not better.
• 10:48
  Then imagine floating into your body and feeling what it would
• 10:51
  feel like to see the line up of the jumps, to get a sense of
• 10:58
  your balance on the board. Perhaps even the cool crispness
• 11:03
  in the air, the tightness around your ankles and calves, the
• 11:12
  feeling of exhilaration, acceleration, perhaps even the
• 11:19
  feeling of weightlessness while you're mid jump.
• 11:23
  And I want you to get a sense this, this is a blueprint, the
• 11:38
  blueprint of accessing this flow state in any other area of your
• 11:46
  life, trusting and then focusing not on yourself, but on the
• 11:57
  terrain, that balance between capability and situations.
• 12:08
  And maybe you feel something there in the chest, something
• 12:12
  that feels that if in that situation someone challenged
• 12:17
  you, questioned your abilities, there would be something
• 12:25
  appealing about that. If someone didn't know how well
• 12:31
  you could snowboard, the fact that you are underestimated or
• 12:40
  just simply not known would mean that if you were challenged, you
• 12:47
  might smile because you know that your abilities exceed
• 12:56
  either the demand or the perception.
• 13:02
  I want you to imagine it's the end of a great day of
• 13:09
  snowboarding, of connecting, of laughing, of feeling all of that
• 13:14
  dopamine and connection. And I want you to imagine
• 13:19
  somewhere close by is a cabin. Not necessarily the cabin you
• 13:24
  were in, but just a cabin. I want you to imagine you're no
• 13:30
  longer on the board. You're no longer in the gear and
• 13:36
  I want you to imagine you walk into that cabin and maybe you
• 13:40
  can imagine the warmth of a log fire, feeling connected,
• 13:50
  comfortable. And I want you to imagine that
• 13:54
  in this cabin is your own private cinema.
• 14:02
  And here in this cinema, rather than seeing movies, we see
• 14:07
  memories. And I want you to imagine a
• 14:13
  moment from the past when you were the most confident, the
• 14:21
  most comfortable that you can recall being when presenting.
• 14:29
  Maybe it was a small meeting or a large presentation to 100
• 14:35
  people or more, but I want you to see on that screen what you
• 14:40
  look like when you are grounded, confident, comfortable, and
• 14:50
  maybe even occasionally defiant. Well, you get a sense of what
• 14:57
  you look like when you are in a highly resourceful state when
• 15:01
  speaking. Let me know by nodding your head
• 15:09
  and let's just test it out. Imagine floating into the screen
• 15:12
  and feeling how it would feel to be that way, to connect with
• 15:19
  that feeling or feeling grounded.
• 15:24
  Feel the weight evenly distributed.
• 15:26
  Feel your chest expand, shoulders back, chin up, eye
• 15:34
  contact. Slow, steady, deliberate.
• 15:38
  Imagine looking at your hands and just seeing how rock solid
• 15:42
  stable they are. Imagine putting a hand on your
• 15:47
  belly and your chest and just assessing how you breathe.
• 15:51
  When you're calm, confident, comfortable, awaken all these
• 15:59
  parts within you. Return to the cabin and then see
• 16:04
  a memory of a time when you were anxious presenting.
• 16:11
  See it as it was, maybe looking agitated, nervous.
• 16:20
  But then imagine rewinding that and replacing that version of
• 16:28
  you with the version of you that is calm, confident, comfortable,
• 16:35
  grounded, perhaps even defiant. Still seeing it on the screen.
• 16:43
  But now imagine yourself reliving that moment the way you
• 16:52
  would have wanted it to have been if you were at your most
• 16:55
  resourceful. And if you can see how the
• 17:00
  memory changes when the resourceful version of you is in
• 17:06
  control, let me know by nodding your head.
• 17:20
  And you can play around with different scenarios, the
• 17:24
  confident version of you testing out different postures, facial
• 17:33
  expressions, until you find the wrong that is just right.
• 17:40
  And when you find it and it feels like if you were in that
• 17:45
  state, it would have gone that way, let me know by nodding your
• 17:49
  head. That's it.
• 17:51
  Rewind it and step into the screen.
• 17:56
  And that version of you feeling that resourceful state.
• 18:04
  But rather than seconds before you talk, I want you to imagine
• 18:10
  being in the resourceful state, going back when you very first
• 18:16
  got notified of it. Maybe it was an e-mail, a
• 18:20
  meeting invite, something that comes up in the calendar.
• 18:23
  And just imagine seeing the meeting invite smiling, knowing
• 18:27
  you've got this. And every time you see it in the
• 18:31
  calendar, you smile, I've got this.
• 18:37
  And then it's minutes before it starts and your focus isn't on
• 18:42
  you. Perhaps it's on whoever's
• 18:45
  talking before you and you feel I've got this.
• 18:51
  And then you're invited to speak.
• 18:54
  And then imagine you smile right before fill your eyes.
• 19:02
  You're completely relaxed from your eyebrows, eyelids all
• 19:05
  around your eyes, feel a sense of slow steady breathing,
• 19:12
  grounded every footstep or even when you stand you just feel
• 19:17
  rock solid. And then imagine saying whatever
• 19:24
  you wanted to say and feeling how calm and confident you feel.
• 19:35
  And if it feels that if you were in that state instead of the old
• 19:41
  memory, then you feel that you can handle it.
• 19:46
  Just let me know by nodding your head.
• 19:51
  And then I want you to imagine we make it more challenging than
• 19:56
  it actually was. I want you to imagine the facial
• 20:04
  expressions of whoever you're talking to being bored,
• 20:08
  disinterested, disengaged. Judgmental.
• 20:15
  And I want you to feel somewhere in your body that you like the
• 20:19
  challenge. It makes you really feel either
• 20:27
  more engaged or that you have nothing to lose.
• 20:31
  Whatever makes you feel more resourceful.
• 20:36
  Imagine someone asking a question.
• 20:39
  You don't know the answer and yet it does not faze you.
• 20:44
  Connect with that feeling of you can thank them for the question.
• 20:52
  If it's a really tricky question, congratulate them on
• 20:57
  the knowledge or the understanding they have because
• 20:59
  it's such a good question. And maybe use humour or
• 21:07
  authenticity, honesty. Maybe you say something like
• 21:15
  well I don't know the specifics there, but here's what I do
• 21:18
  know. Maybe you turn it into a joke.
• 21:24
  I want you to feel how comfortable you feel even if
• 21:29
  someone catches you off guard with something you don't fully
• 21:32
  know. Imagine someone else asks a
• 21:38
  question, but not from a desire to understand.
• 21:45
  Imagine someone ask a question to try and catch you out, to see
• 21:53
  you trip up. And I want you to scan your body
• 21:58
  for where you feel that defiance, the playfulness, the
• 22:04
  fun. But the more tricky they make
• 22:11
  it, the more fun it feels. And maybe maybe you hold a
• 22:20
  mirror back to them, let them know that you know what they're
• 22:26
  doing. Or maybe maybe you just deal
• 22:32
  with it in a very humble, polite way.
• 22:38
  Or maybe maybe you answer a question with a question.
• 22:44
  Play the Uno reverse card. Allow your unconscious to give
• 22:49
  you different scenarios so that you can feel that even if this
• 22:54
  happened, your resources exceed the demands.
• 23:01
  No different than if you're snowboarding and something you
• 23:06
  didn't see in front of you, you then become aware of a branch, a
• 23:10
  rock and you trust your ability to manoeuvre well.
• 23:17
  Whatever comes up when you notice it.
• 23:24
  If you feel resourceful, confident, grounded and calm
• 23:34
  that your brain will give you a new belief.
• 23:38
  And that belief is then the more you encounter challenging
• 23:46
  situations when presenting, the more competent you become, the
• 23:54
  more confident you feel. And the more confident you feel,
• 24:01
  the more relaxed and the more fun you can have.
• 24:06
  And I want you to imagine leaving the screen and still
• 24:15
  being in that cabin. But instead of seeing the past,
• 24:19
  I want you to imagine seeing something in the future that
• 24:23
  hasn't happened yet. And I want you to imagine seeing
• 24:28
  that version of you get a meeting invite and see that
• 24:34
  version of you smile the very moment it arrives.
• 24:38
  You're looking forward to it, genuinely.
• 24:43
  But whenever that version of you sees it in the calendar, there's
• 24:48
  a feeling of I want this. I don't have to do this.
• 24:52
  I get to do this. It's fun for you.
• 24:58
  And then imagine the day arrives.
• 25:03
  See that version of you minutes before it happens, looking calm,
• 25:10
  composed and relaxed with the same facial expression that you
• 25:16
  had back on that day snowboarding, knowing that you
• 25:23
  were invincible. Just allow neural pathways from
• 25:33
  the past and the future to update new meanings, new
• 25:39
  connotations, certain emotional pathways close and others open.
• 25:47
  And don't be surprised if in the next few days there is an
• 25:51
  invitation to present, to speak, to share ideas.
• 25:57
  And don't be surprised if your very first reaction is to smile.
• 26:04
  And maybe there's a voice, maybe that same voice from 20 years
• 26:12
  ago. And knowing that you could
• 26:16
  snowboard in any terrain, what if it's that voice that just
• 26:22
  tells you in that moment you've got this, and as you hold that
• 26:31
  thorn, it's time to return. Return from that moment all the
• 26:37
  way to the present, but taking these new beliefs, ideas and
• 26:41
  connotations with you. So take a deep breath in through
• 26:45
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 26:49
  Wiggle your fingers, wiggle your toes.
• 26:51
  Connect and calibrate into the here and the now as I now count
• 26:56
  from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 26:59
  Starting to count 123 waking up 456 More alert 7-8.
• 27:07
  Open your eyes. Open your eyes, 910.
• 27:10
  Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake.
• 27:20
  Thank you so much for joining me on.
