Clear Mind

HypnoSOS is a regular hypnosis podcast with 200+ episodes and over a million downloads.

Each episode is a mini-hypnosis session which starts with an introduction about how get the most benefit (which you can feel free to skip through once you have heard it once), and some details about the contents of the hypnosis session. You can then close your eyes, relax, and have a mini-break from the stress around you. You can listen to each episode as often as you need to.

 

Please – do not listen to these audios when doing anything else – especially not driving. This is very important.

The course content has exceeded my expectations, and my wellbeing has also improved, with better sleep and feeling more grounded and assertive. This course is a life changer - both for me and for those who will benefit from the knowledge I will use to help others.

In science, outstanding practitioners are many, and gifted teachers are few. It’s rare to find both in one person. Professor Ursula James is that rare exception - combining deep expertise with a talent for teaching that inspires and endures. Whichever course you choose, and at whatever level, you’ll be guided by someone uniquely equipped to help you achieve your goals.

Dr Mark Feldman

Having tried another hypnotherapy training, I am very pleased to say how enjoyable this course is. I would liken it to reading a good book. Easy to understand, informative and enjoyable. I would highly recommend it to anyone, whether for professional purposes or just for your own self learning.

HypnoSOS Episode 61 – Clear Mind

Close your eyes now if you haven’t already… take a nice deep breath now if you haven’t already… move around so you can be as comfortable as possible during this process if you haven’t already… and already your breathing has changed… ever so slightly at first, but it’s become a little deeper… and you can focus in on your breath to help you to go just as deeply relaxed as you need to in these moments… for the more relaxed you become, the easier it is to take on board any suggestions that you will find useful… for the moment all you need to do is breathe… and if you wish to take control of the process you can, you will… by connecting your breath… to different words that will help you not only to take control of the process, but to amplify the benefits… so… on your breath out you can say to yourself silently and mentally… let it go… let it go… let it go… and you can continue to consciously repeat these words during this process until you find that… you can forget about them… you can let it go as it were… as the words become nothing more than sound… sound that helps you to relax… helps you to let it go… and as we go on there will be moments when you’re more aware of these words… and others when you are not…

Even after this session, you may find that there are moments when these words come into your mind… because they are relevant to the situation you find yourself in… and you can and you will let it go… whatever that thought was… let it go… because in the moments when your unconscious mind brings this phrase to you… whatever it was that was bothering or concerning you… the best possible thing you can do in those specific moments is let that thought go… and the problem behind that thought doesn’t disappear but it does go into a different part of your mind… the unconscious mind if you will… the part of your mind that can and will be able to deal with the problem… effectively… naturally… appropriately… and in many instances without you even thinking about it at all… it’s almost a form of emotional déjà vu… whatever the thing was… is no longer a problem… because you have a solution in mind… the best possible answer comes to you… the best possible answer in these moments… and you can and you will… begin to… and continue to… make a connection… with this specific part of your mind going to help you… to clear your mind of any thoughts that were just circling round and round… you’ll be able to take a deep breath and… let it go… whatever it was… clear your mind of that thought and make space for solutions… answers… ways of dealing that perhaps mean not influencing the problem at all but just changing the way you think about it… you feel about it… the way you react to it… and in doing this you protect yourself… you ensure that any harm or damage or distraction that could have been caused by holding this thought in your mind and allowing it to bother you… can just pass… as each breath out… let it go… you form a stronger boundary… not only around your mind… but your emotions… your body too… your sense of self grows… your self-worth develops… your ability to take control no matter where you are… who you might be with… or what you are doing… is enhanced…

All you need to do is breathe out… let it go… and breathe in deeply… breathing in strength… breathing in confidence… breathing in a sense of grounding… of knowing who you are… and what it is you need to do… and it is very important that you begin to and continue to use this space to be… calm… in control… allowing you the time and the space to feel better… better and more optimistic than you have felt in a long, long while… You can rest for a moment… and focus in on your breath… breathing in a sense of peace… and as you breathe out, letting go of any thoughts that would have bothered you… let… it… go… completely… and you can notice how different you feel… clearer in your mind… calmer in your thoughts… more relaxed in your body too… you are in control…

And 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 you will open your eyes if you have not done so already… and at the count of 10, you will be fully wide awake… fully alert… feeling calmer… feeling refreshed… feeling relaxed… feeling better, and yes, more optimistic than you have felt in a little while… so ready… 1… 2… 3… more aware… 4… 5… 6… more alert… 7… 8… eyes open if you haven’t opened them already… 9 and 10… rest for a moment… have a good stretch… you have control…
