Visualize a peaceful, still pond in front of you. See the calm surface of the water, and notice how it reflects the beauty of the surrounding environment. This pond represents your inner patience and self-control.

Patience as the fruit of the spirit represents your relationship to Others.

Here’s a hypnotherapy script to help increase patience and self-control:

Title: “Cultivating Patience”

Induction:

(Soothing music starts playing. Speak in a calm, gentle tone.)

“Welcome to this calming hypnotherapy session. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow any tension or stress to release from your body. Feel the weight of your seat, the sensation of the air on your skin, and the sound of my voice guiding you deeper into relaxation.

Imagine yourself standing on a peaceful beach at sunset. The sky is painted with vibrant colours, and the sound of the waves gently lapping against the shore is soothing. With each breath, feel your body relaxing, your mind quieting, and your spirit lifting.

As you exhale, repeat the phrase ‘I am patient and calm’ to yourself. Allow the sound of the waves to be the only sound you focus on. You are safe, you are calm, and you are patient.”

Deepening:

“Now, imagine yourself descending a staircase, one step at a time. With each step, feel yourself becoming more relaxed, more calm, and more focused. At the bottom of the staircase, you’ll find a peaceful, serene room where you can let go of all worries and concerns.

As you enter this room, notice the soothing colours, the soft cushions, and the gentle scent of your mothers apple pie. Feel the sense of calm and tranquility that permeates this space. You are now in a state of deep relaxation, where your subconscious mind is open to receive positive suggestions and allow powerful changes inside you.”

Script:

“Imagine yourself standing in the most beautiful, peaceful garden. See all the many vibrant flowers blooming all around you, Smell the slight fragrance of the flowers in the breeze, Feel the soft grass beneath your feet, Hear the gentle breeze rustling the leaves. This garden represents your inner patience, peace, calm and tranquility.

“Imagine yourself holding a very small, delicate leaf in your hand. This leaf represents the gentle, patient energy of waiting and allowing. As you hold the leaf, feel its energy spreading throughout your entire body, filling you with patience, calmness, forbearance, tolerance, restraint, stoicism, fortitude, endurance, calmness, composure, tolerance, and understanding.

Patience as the fruit of the spirit represents your relationship to Others. 

Now, visualize a peaceful, still pond in front of you. See the calm surface of the water, and notice how it reflects the beauty of the surrounding environment. This pond represents your inner patience and self-control.

Repeat the phrase ‘I am patient and self-controlled’ to yourself, and feel the truth of those words resonating deep within your soul. You are calm, you are patient, and you are in control of your emotions and actions.”

Counting and Awakening:

“Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, slowly count from 5 to 1. As you count, feel yourself becoming more alert, more focused, and more energized.

5… Feel the rise of your chest, the sensation of the air in your lungs.

4… Notice the sensation of your feet on the ground, the stability of your body.

3… Feel the clarity of your mind, the focus of your thoughts.

2… Visualize the peaceful, still pond still reflecting your inner patience and self-control.

1… You are awake, refreshed, and filled with patience. You are calm, you are self-controlled, and you are ready to take on your day.”

(Soothing music continues to play for another minute before fading out.)

This script aims to help you cultivate a sense of patience and self-control, allowing you to approach life’s challenges with calmness, tolerance, and understanding. Remember to always prioritize patience and self-control in your thoughts, words, and actions.
