Get Any Mentor in the World to Work with you for Free — Using Hypnosis

This week, I was speaking to a group of people on the idea of mentoring or being mentored and I mentioned to this group of individuals that I continue to be mentored in life and business by people that are brilliant at doing so, in my opinion.

Someone happened to mention that as they were at the embryonic stages of their new business, they did not really have the necessary funds to pay someone to mentor them along the way and the resources of their local government just were not adequate or relevant for what they required.

The Ultimate Mentor is Yours Today –Choose Anyone in the World to Work with You

So I told them about when I was setting up my business, I was lucky to have the world’s finest mentors to help me in times of need. I had a round table of world class business mentors — Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Anthony Robbins, and a few others. Pretty impressive, eh?

When running, I have been trained by Paula Radcliffe, Paul Tergat, Brendan Foster, Michael Johnson, and many others.

The reality of the matter is that I was not actually connecting with these people in their reality. I was not actually speaking to them in the regular way that you would consider speaking to them. I was being trained and mentored by these amazing people in my mind. To have consulted in reality would have been impossible. I read their autobiographies, studied research about them and got to know as much as I could about them.

Then, I created my own psychological internal round table of brilliance that I consulted with when I wanted to and all it cost me was the time invested and my unconscious mind offered the wisdom of those people from their perspective and it proved incredibly valuable. It is a simple use of self-hypnosis to have any mentor working with you in your mind.

Want to know how to do that too? Well, guess what? I am going to show you how to do just that here today. How to create a hypnotic mentor. I am going to show you how to do it with just one person first of all and I am going to make the process generic and easy to follow so that you can then adapt it to however you think is the best for you.

Nine Steps to Using Your Inner Mentor

Step One:

As per the last few editions of Adam Up, you first of all need to find some quiet time, when you are going to be undisturbed and can tune in to yourself.

Choose what kind of mentor you require and what area of your life you wish to be mentored on. Is it going to be to grow your business, to reduce your weight, to enhance your intellect, to be more confident or any other thing?

Be still, focus on your breathing, heighten your awareness of how you are, observe your thoughts, your sensations and your reality and really engage in the moment. Then begin to relax yourself in a way that allows you to keep aware and allows your body to get very comfortable. Use any kind of trance generating method you know, especially if you have my self-hypnosis book, or whatever relaxation or meditative technique you have learned already. Tune in to yourself and allow your mind to become receptive to what you are going to be doing.

Step Two:

There is a place where you go for inspiration, for learning and for wisdom. Inside your mind, allow yourself to be drawn to a special place. Ideally a place where you can relax and feel safe and somewhere that you find conducive to the mentoring process.

In this example, we are going to use a temple… a very sacred place where you go for wisdom. This is very appropriate for personal development. If you wanted to be business-related, you could go to an imaginary gold-paved hotel lobby or luxurious board room with leather reclining seats.

Whatever place you choose, make sure it is right for you and pertinent to the reason that you are doing this.

With today’s example, as you get closer to the temple, see the sights of it, hear the sounds and enjoy the peaceful, comfortable safe feelings that surround the temple. Imagine that you feel a wonderful sense of peace as you know you are very welcome at this temple and that you are absolutely in the right place ready to learn the lesson that is here for you today.

In this temple there is a wise person, a sage or a guide who will help you with this lesson. This sage knows everything about you, about your past, your inner thoughts, your experiences; maybe even more than you know about yourself.

You will meet the sage here that is going to help you to learn this lesson. In other circumstances or environments, you be meeting an adviser, an athlete, a guide, a particular business person, a genius of some kind, here we are going to meet an anonymous sage.

Step Three:

Notice how you enter your temple of wisdom, and then go right up to the place that is your entryway.

Something I like to do prior to entering this place, especially in this kind of scenario, is to imagine a beautiful beam of light shines down all around me as I enter the temple of wisdom. I recommend you do the same, just to protect you or enhance you as you enter this special place. As you go in, you notice that there are two big cushions on the floor right in the centre of the room (in different scenarios, with different required outcomes, you can have anything else there).

You look up and you notice the ceiling, how beautiful and ornate it is. You notice the colours on the walls, the textures, and you notice an overwhelming sense of peace and serenity here in your temple of wisdom. Really get your senses filled with this place.

It is important to remember that you are comfortable and absolutely truthful with yourself when you’re in this temple.

Step Four:

Now go take a seat on one of the big cushions. As you take your place on the cushion you notice that from another part of the temple someone appears. This is your sage, your very wise guide, your leader, your trainer, your adviser. This sage comes in quietly, knowingly, sits on the cushion facing you.

Notice the details of this person and tune in to them. Notice the look in their eyes, feel their intuition, respect their experience, be thankful and enjoy the fact that they are there to help you. Let yourself know and be reassured that you are in the right place at the right time ready to receive this learning and this lesson that is personal to you and your requirements.

You can sense that wisdom and expertise is there and you trust that this sage will be completely honest with you. Fully accept that this sage knows everything about you or your circumstances or has the right information to help you with your particular query. Also know that they respond to all of your experiences, your deepest beliefs and desires, all of the memories and events that have shaped your life; even those that you may have consciously forgotten. The sage knows how to take everything into account to give you the best possible guidance at that time.

Step Five:

Now is the time to let the sage give you information, guidance and advice to help you to understand something about your particular requirements (that you chose at the beginning of Step One).

The sage then tells you what you need to do to experience, to complete, to come to terms with, or find closure with, in order to allow yourself to be more successful, healthier, wealthier, wiser, more confident, more inspired or whatever it is that you chose. Next, you’re going to ask the sage what it is you need to do; the actions you need to take.

Perhaps something you need to resolve from your past, something you need to complete, something to resolve, and you can trust that this sage is totally honest with you to help you and guide you in the right direction.

Step Six:

Perhaps you know consciously what this issue is and you haven’t been sure of what direction to go or how to resolve the problem. Now you are open, willing and ready to receive the information. Take a deep breath let it out, put all of your faith in this sage. I want you to ask the question that is most important right now of what it is you need to know or to do, to resolve, or to heal in your life, to have abundance, confidence, motivation, slimmer waistline, different mentality or whatever it is that is the purpose of this consultation and meeting.

Ask the question and then just sit quietly and listen with an open, ready mind so that you can receive the right guidance.

This might be direct instructions, images, thoughts, feelings, sounds, just tune in and hear what guidance is there being given.

You can continue a dialogue, breathing quietly and asking questions as you inhale and hearing what responses you get as you exhale.

And when you’re complete with the guidance and you understand it, you can thank the sage for being there, for being honest with you and you may even wish to embrace them, bathe them in light or shake their hand in whatever is appropriate.

Step Seven:

Now, find yourself again, sat on the cushion in the middle of your temple (or other place).

You came here to seek direction, guidance, honesty or maybe to solve problems. So now tell yourself that every time you come here you can explore in a deeper way what it is that you want or need, or should learn, in order to have what you truly want and be guided beneficially.

Also tell yourself that each time you come to this place, you learn more profoundly and more beneficially as you tune into this way of doing things.

Step Eight:

You can leave this place now. I recommend that you do something to integrate all the learnings and lessons you received here. In this scenario, you could imagine a beautiful beam of light shines down all over your body and mind, illuminating you with all the guidance.

You may just wish to imagine that you are filled with purpose, with direction, with information that will guide you. Trust that the guidance stays with you for the next few days or for whatever timescale is necessary to take action on the guidance you received.

Step Nine:

Tune in to your breathing again. Bring your awareness back to the place you are in, bring back with you the lessons and the learnings, the resources, the guidance that you’ve gained. Then open your eyes and go about your day with renewed zest and start taking action steps relevant to the guidance you received.

Of course, there are always likely to be times when you really do need a real mentor or guidance and advice from someone that has the right experience or understanding of what you need, however, you can tap into your unconscious resources often to find the right guides, mentors and people to offer you advice and find that mentor within. As you get better at doing this, you can have more than one mentor at a time and create a table of brilliance like I do with lots of masters from their fields.

Have a wonderful time doing this and consult with some of your minds’ mentors and enjoy the benefits of them!
