Full transcript
- 0:00Hello and welcome to this hypnotherapy
- 0:03session that is going to help you to
- 0:05retrain the hypervigilant mind guiding
- 0:09it from constant alertness into a state
- 0:11of steady calm clarity and control. My
- 0:16name is Suzanne Robisho. I'm a
- 0:18registered clinical hypnotherapist. And
- 0:20before we begin today, make sure that
- 0:23you have found a place where you are
- 0:24settled comfortably,
- 0:26all distractions have been turned off,
- 0:29and use a headset if you can for the
- 0:31best experience. And of course, always
- 0:34remember to only listen to this at the
- 0:37appropriate time and in the appropriate
- 0:39place. Your eyes will be closed and you
- 0:42will be going within. And if you're
- 0:44ready, let's begin.
- 0:49Let's begin by taking a nice big deep
- 0:52breath in, filling right up.
- 0:56And as you exhale, slowly let your eyes
- 0:59close down.
- 1:01Let your face soften.
- 1:09When you're ready, take another nice big
- 1:11deep breath in, filling right up.
- 1:16And this time as you exhale slowly let
- 1:18your shoulders drop.
- 1:21Let your arms give way to the surface
- 1:24beneath them.
- 1:31And one more nice big deep breath in.
- 1:35Filling right up.
- 1:40And as you exhale, slowly think about
- 1:43your whole body
- 1:45surrendering to the surface beneath it.
- 1:55And you breathe naturally now
- 2:00becoming the observer of your breath
- 2:04and your body.
- 2:07Observing each breath as you breathe in
- 2:10and you breathe out.
- 2:16Allowing your breath to bring you into
- 2:19this moment.
- 2:28Noticing the rise and fall of the belly
- 2:30or the chest
- 2:33with every breath.
- 2:38and affirming
- 2:41that this is your time,
- 2:44your time to go within.
- 2:53And on your next exhale,
- 2:57just forget all about the breathing.
- 3:01And let's take a few moments now to
- 3:04guide the body into that wonderful deep
- 3:07state of deep body sleep.
- 3:12The state that your body already knows,
- 3:14a place that you go every night when you
- 3:16go to bed, when you fall asleep.
- 3:19We're just doing it with intention,
- 3:23strengthening the mind body connection.
- 3:32So bring your awareness to your feet for
- 3:34a few moments.
- 3:37Think about all of the muscles in your
- 3:39feet letting go
- 3:42while tension is released.
- 3:46And you become more and more relaxed
- 3:50with every breath that you exhale.
- 3:58And you think about this feeling. You
- 4:00guide this feeling to flow through the
- 4:03ankles,
- 4:05calves.
- 4:08Thinking about all the muscles in the
- 4:10calves becoming soft,
- 4:14wonderfully relaxed.
- 4:22And this feeling continues to flow
- 4:24through the knees
- 4:26and the upper legs.
- 4:30Just take a moment here.
- 4:32Think about all of the muscles in your
- 4:35legs
- 4:37turned off.
- 4:39Let your legs give way to the surface
- 4:42beneath them.
- 4:48And you just observe
- 4:51how your legs feel,
- 4:54heavy
- 4:56or light,
- 4:58whatever you feel is perfect.
- 5:04You guide this feeling
- 5:07to flow through the body,
- 5:10to flow all the way up to the hips and
- 5:13the waist.
- 5:15So that from the waist down to the soles
- 5:18of your feet, you are
- 5:21becoming wonderfully
- 5:24deeply
- 5:26relaxed.
- 5:30With every breath that you exhale,
- 5:34you become more and more deeply relaxed
- 5:39than on the breath before.
- 5:44Now
- 5:46think about this feeling flowing and
- 5:48spreading all through the back
- 5:52and the lower back at first
- 5:55flowing and spreading releasing all of
- 5:58the muscles in the back
- 6:01all the way up to the shoulders.
- 6:08Bring your awareness to your stomach,
- 6:10your abdominal area.
- 6:13As you exhale, you allow any lingering
- 6:17tension
- 6:19or stress
- 6:21to flow from the body with the breath.
- 6:28As this feeling continues to flow and
- 6:31spread through the chest,
- 6:33the shoulders,
- 6:36washing away, clearing away any tension
- 6:41and the shoulders.
- 6:44Maybe
- 6:46you even feel your shoulders drop a
- 6:48little bit.
- 6:50Soften.
- 6:52Just let your whole body give way
- 6:56to the surface beneath it.
- 7:06And this feeling continues to flow
- 7:10to spread down the arms.
- 7:13Maybe one arm and then the other.
- 7:16Maybe both at the same time.
- 7:20But just think about this feeling
- 7:23flowing and spreading down through the
- 7:26elbows,
- 7:28the forearms,
- 7:30the wrists,
- 7:32right out the palms of the hands, the
- 7:34tips of the fingers.
- 7:39And you're still just the observer
- 7:43observing how well your body is
- 7:45responding to your thoughts.
- 7:50With every breath that you exhale,
- 7:54you let go
- 7:56deeper
- 7:58into the peace
- 8:01and the calm
- 8:06as you guide this feeling through the
- 8:09back of the neck,
- 8:12the scalp,
- 8:15clearing away any tension in the neck.
- 8:20Think about this feeling
- 8:23flowing through the back of your head
- 8:25and the top of your head,
- 8:28flowing and spreading down into your
- 8:32forehead.
- 8:33So that from within your mind, you can
- 8:37feel your forehead smooth
- 8:40and relaxed.
- 8:45Nothing bothers you. Nothing disturbs
- 8:48you.
- 8:50You are aware to whatever is important,
- 8:53wonderfully undisturbed
- 8:56by the unimportant.
- 9:00As this feeling continues to flow and
- 9:03spread
- 9:05over the eyebrows
- 9:07and the eyelids.
- 9:11Just allow your eyelids to be as relaxed
- 9:14as they could possibly be
- 9:17so that they actually feel heavy,
- 9:20like they are glued shut, locked shut.
- 9:24You know, you can open them, but you
- 9:26don't need to and you don't want to.
- 9:30And you allow that feeling to continue
- 9:33to flow and spread through the cheeks,
- 9:37jaw
- 9:39flowing right down the front of the neck
- 9:41into the chest.
- 9:44So that from the top of your head to the
- 9:47soles of your feet,
- 9:50you are becoming wonderfully
- 9:54deeply
- 9:56relaxed.
- 9:58And that's a lovely feeling that you
- 10:02have created within your body.
- 10:06As you let go in the body
- 10:09and you let go in the mind,
- 10:13I want you to use your imagination even
- 10:15more powerfully. Now,
- 10:18and if you're not very visual,
- 10:21it's okay.
- 10:23Just thinking about what I'm saying to
- 10:25you is just as effective.
- 10:29No effort is required.
- 10:31You just listen and you allow any
- 10:35images, any thoughts or feelings to come
- 10:38upon you.
- 10:42Imagine yourself walking into a quiet,
- 10:46peaceful forest.
- 10:52The trees are tall and still.
- 10:59A gentle breeze brushes past your skin,
- 11:04soft
- 11:05and reassuring.
- 11:13Every step you take
- 11:16feels grounding
- 11:18and comforting.
- 11:27And you come to a clearing where the sun
- 11:29filters in,
- 11:32warm and golden.
- 11:40And there's a place here
- 11:43just for you,
- 11:46a place of deep rest.
- 11:58So you lay down here
- 12:01and the forest watches over you.
- 12:07You are safe to let go.
- 12:10You are safe to rest.
- 12:21Your mind has been working so hard to
- 12:25keep you safe.
- 12:28Always scanning,
- 12:30always alert.
- 12:34It learned this to protect you.
- 12:39But now
- 12:41it's learning a new way.
- 12:46You are not in danger.
- 12:49You are not in the past.
- 12:53You are here.
- 12:55And in this moment, you are safe.
- 13:04Let that truth ripple through your
- 13:06nervous system like warm sunlight.
- 13:14You are safe.
- 13:17You are supported.
- 13:20You are allowed to rest now.
- 13:28It is safe to let your guard down.
- 13:32It is safe to soften.
- 13:36It is safe to be here.
- 13:52And from now on,
- 13:55your mind will begin to shift.
- 14:00It no longer needs to be on high alert
- 14:03all the time.
- 14:08You are building a new internal reality,
- 14:14one rooted in presence and peace.
- 14:21And when something truly needs your
- 14:24attention,
- 14:26you'll notice it.
- 14:30But in between,
- 14:33you'll rest.
- 14:36You'll breathe.
- 14:39You'll feel the calm in your body and
- 14:43allow it to expand.
- 14:50You can trust yourself.
- 14:55You can trust the present moment.
- 15:01You can trust
- 15:04that life no longer requires you to be
- 15:08in survival mode.
- 15:12Because now
- 15:14you are choosing to live in a new state,
- 15:19a regulated,
- 15:21calm, steady state
- 15:26rooted in the now.
- 15:29safe in the now.
- 15:35And as you let go into this feeling,
- 15:40this deep inner knowing that you are
- 15:43choosing to create,
- 15:47that you are safe to create.
- 15:50You allow the following statements
- 15:54to anchor into your subconscious mind.
- 16:00I am safe in my body.
- 16:09I am safe in this moment.
- 16:17I choose peace
- 16:20over hyperawareness.
- 16:27I trust myself to respond
- 16:31in place of reacting.
- 16:42I no longer need to be on high alert.
- 16:53Peace is my new normal.
- 17:00I am healing.
- 17:03I am free.
- 17:12And from this moment forward,
- 17:15anytime you notice your mind scanning,
- 17:19bracing, or looking for what might go
- 17:22wrong,
- 17:24you simply pause.
- 17:27You bring your hand to your heart,
- 17:31feeling the warmth of your own touch.
- 17:34And as you do, you remember,
- 17:39"My mind is checking for danger."
- 17:43And you thank it for looking out for
- 17:46you.
- 17:48And then you breathe
- 17:50and you affirm,
- 17:52"Right now, I am safe."
- 17:58And in that moment,
- 18:00your whole body softens
- 18:04and you gently return to whatever you
- 18:06choose to do next.
- 18:10And each and every time you do this, it
- 18:14becomes easier,
- 18:17more natural, and more automatic
- 18:21until it's simply the way that you are.
- 18:32And as you continue to move forward from
- 18:35this session,
- 18:37notice how your mind is learning
- 18:41day by day
- 18:43to rest in calm alertness,
- 18:47trusting that you can meet life with
- 18:51clarity,
- 18:52confidence, and ease.
- 18:56You are retraining your mind and nervous
- 18:59system. And each time you listen, this
- 19:04calm becomes more and more natural for
- 19:07you.
- 19:09[Music]
- 19:12It has been my absolute pleasure
- 19:15to guide you today.
- 19:19Take this sense of steadiness with you
- 19:21now.
- 19:23And when you are ready, open your eyes
- 19:27and return to your day feeling grounded,
- 19:31present, and in control.
- 19:35Listen to this session daily.
- 19:38Your mind and body learns through
- 19:41repetition.
- 19:43Remember, as you go throughout your day
- 19:46to place your hands on your heart, to
- 19:49thank your mind and body for protecting
- 19:51you. but affirming that you are safe.
