HypnoSOS Episode 50 – Boost Your Energy

Sit down or lie down… rest with your eyes comfortably closed… Take a moment to make yourself as comfortable as possible… try to be in a neutral position so your body won’t disturb you later on… and if… as you make yourself comfortable… you notice any areas of nervous tension… you can focus on them for a moment… and then… taking a deep even breath… try to just push that tension out… and I want you to know that… as this process goes on without you even trying… this will happen… as you relax… as you breathe out and listen to the sound of my voice… breathe out and listen to the sound of my voice… simply the sound of my voice… It will help you… to begin to… to continue to… relax… all the way through… relax… you may notice that you sigh or perhaps even yawn… as you hear me continue to help you to relax… and all of that will be fine… just fine… you will experience these moments in the best possible way for you… knowing that throughout… you are in control… completely in control…

And… in a few moments in time… you may notice your thoughts wander… your mind drifting… there is no need to listen hard or to think of anything in these moments… just allow the sound of my voice to continue to relax you… and as it does… any thoughts in your mind can just drift to the back of your mind… where if they are important, you will think of them again after this session… you will think of them again when your eyes open… and you will find that… as you allow any thought to drift to where it needs to go, whether to the back of your mind where you can deal with it later or just drift out on your out breath, because it has no importance at all… you will find that you can and you will relax ever more deeply… ever more easily… knowing that if there is anything important… you will pick it up after these moments… in fact, you will find that… if there is anything important that needs to be dealt with… when you pick it up after these moments of peace… your mind will be clearer… your thoughts more ordered… and you will remember more clearly… what it is you can do to action this thing… so by letting the thought go in these moments… by drifting it to the back of your mind… you allow a different part of you to deal with it… a different part of you that can and will find time and space… to allow you to do what you need to do… in these moments… and in these moments there really is no need for you to pay close attention to the words that I say… or even the sound of my voice… simply the sound of my voice… which can and will carry you ever into an ever deepening state… of deep… deep… relaxation…

And experiencing these moments of relaxation… your mind clears… your body relaxes… your thoughts become ever more ordered and… there really is nothing else for you to do… just breathe… and if you notice anything at all… you notice that… you feel lighter… calmer… clearer… you can breathe deeper… and deeper still… taking yourself to whatever level feels right for you… whatever level feels best… because in these moments… in these moments with little thought… the part of your mind controls so many unconscious functions, such as your breathing and your heart rate, your reflex and your capacity to fall into deep, deep sleep… this part of your mind… this part of your mind can start to go on a journey… on a journey to different memories… dreams… plans… to connect with all of the things that are unique to your experience… that energise you… that make you feel more alive… stronger… more balanced… above all, more energetic too…

For there are many things from your history, from your present and also from your dreams of the future and your plans that can and will motivate you… focus your attention… help you achieve your plans… and… as you allow this unconscious part of your mind to make a journey… to collect and connect with all the things that you know, have experienced and are yet to experience.in reality… but know them from your dreams as this part of your mind connects with all these things… you can feel a shift… a sensation… an awareness of strength within your core… something that is uniquely yours, unique to your experience… only you know what it is that makes you strong… only you know what it is that helps you to focus… only you know what it is that motivates you… and as a result of accessing these aspects of yourself… you can and you will take them into your sleep and in your dreams… where you create a strong, safe centre… that you can step into… a space that energises you… a space that strengthens you… a space that protects you from negativity and harm… and if you wish in these moments to think about what this space will look like… you can you will… but whether you think of it or not… it is being created… and will be reinforced in your sleep and in your dreams… and by connecting with this part of you, your energy will receive a boost whenever you need it… for to connect with this all you need to do is to take a deep in breath… exhale… and notice that what’s left is a smile… and that smile feeds back to connect with these strong energising aspects of your character… and you can enjoy that feeling right now… connecting… growing stronger… for you are in control… and… now you have made the connection with all the thoughts and feelings and memories that strengthen, energise and protect you…

In a few moments in time… in a few moments in time you will hear me count from 1 to 10… and at the count of 8 your eyes will naturally and easily open… and at the count of 10, you will be fully wide awake… and you will feel energised… stronger… more in control… perhaps even with a smile… and each time you listen to this process, you connect with that self… giving you the focus, the confidence and the motivation to energise you… to achieve your goals… to get on with the day… to deal with whatever you need to deal with… You are strong… you are capable… and you are in control… and so as you hear me count from 1 to 10, at the count of 8 your eyes will naturally and easily open… and at the count of 10, you will be fully wide awake… all healthy, appropriate sensations… energised… feeling better than you’ve felt in a while… so ready… 1… 2… 3… more aware… 4… 5… 6… more alert… 7… 8… eyes open, wide open… 9… and 10… have a stretch… feeling better… and more energized.
