HypnoSOS Episode 13 – Letting Go

Sit down or lie down… close your eyes… and just breathe… take three deep… even breaths… and even as you do this… you notice that… the muscles in your shoulders relax… you begin to breathe more deeply more evenly… you can start to move into this really… private and… peaceful space where… nothing… can bother you… nothing can intrude… unless you let it in… and… in a few moments in time… in a few moments in time… you can if you wish … take control of the process… and by doing so… be able to… get as much benefit from it as possible… and the way to do this is simple… all you need to do is silently and mentally… countdown from 10 to 1… use your out breath… it helps… time each descending number to an out breath… or every second or third out breath… it doesn’t matter at all… it doesn’t matter at all because all you need to do is breathe… you don’t even need to count if you don’t wish to… just breathe and listen to the sound of my voice… simply the sound of my voice that will help you to go deeper… deeper… deeper still… into these moments of peace… moments where you can rest… rest assured that you’re in control… moments when you can recover… moments when you can remember that… most of the things that have bothered you will disturb you really they are not that important…. and in this space… in this time, you can let some of them go… in fact, as you listen, you may find that there are moments in which you can’t even be bothered to listen… you may even find that your thoughts drift and… your mind wanders, and there may be moments when you feel as if you’re drifting… 6.14drifting into an ever deepening state of… physical… as well as mental state of deep… deep peace… and you can and you will go as deeply as you need… because you’re in control… you can and you will listen or not listen… because you are in control… you can and you will find that there are moments when your thoughts wander, and you can allow yourself to follow those thoughts if you wish… because you are in control… and there is no right way or wrong way to experience these moments… there’s just your way… and your way will be guided by whatever you need most… right now… whatever helps you best… right now… whatever you need to let go of or remember… right now because you have control… and… in a few moments in time… in a few moments in time… you will hear me say the word nowww… and… whenever you hear me say the word nowww… a slightly warm although really pleasant physical sensation of warm relaxed muscles… can and will begin to spread from your chest… from your shoulders and all the way out… out through your body… all the way out nowww… and you can allow the muscles of your chest to relax… and you can go deeper… deeper… deeper still… deeper… deeper still… and this warmth, this feeling of peace begins and continues to spread through every part of your body… allowing you to let go… let go of anything that has bothered or disturbed you… let go of anything that has hurt you… let go of anything… that has no place… let it go nowwww… and sometimes and it’s okay… people feel emotional… even though they don’t know why… it is part of letting go… and it will only happen… if it’s appropriate… if it’s helpful… and if you feel safe and comfortable where you are… so if you need to… just let some of those emotions go too… I will remain silent for a little while… experience this in whatever way you need to… nowwww…

And I want you to know that… no matter where you are… who you are with… or what you are doing… from now on, you will find that you feel stronger… lighter… having let go of things… even things that had no name… things which in the past would have bothered or disturbed you… and you will feel as if a burden has been lifted from you… and it has… allowing you to feel better… to be stronger… to do whatever you need to do in these moments… to feel happier… more calm… more contented too… and to remind you that at night when you sleep… when you dream… your mind can help you let go of other things that have bothered or disturbed you… they have no place… they are just baggage… unnecessary package…. just let it go… nowwww.

And in a few moments in time… in a few moments in time you will hear me count from one to 10 and at the count of eight your eyes will naturally and easily open and at the count of 10 you will be fully wide awake, all normal, healthy and appropriate sensations and responses will be back with you and anything which has no place, anything that has dragged you down, anything that has weighed you down, you can leave it in the past where it can and it will remain for ever and ever… so ready… 1… 2… 3… waking up now… 4… 5… 6… more alert now… 7… 8… eyes open if you haven’t already… eyes open… 9… and 10… wide awake… wide awake.
