Come, let me introduce you to the world of ancient Egypt. Welcome to Sleep Cove, a place to come for a great night's sleep. Hello everyone and welcome. In tonight's recording, I'm doing a sleep hypnosis episode designed to help with chronic stress and anxiety.

It's not a substitution for any medical. advice, diagnosis or treatment, and if you do suffer from chronic anxiety and stress, I recommend you see your doctor. Please listen to this recording in a place where you can safely go to sleep. This recording is designed to look at your chronic anxiety and look at your imagined creation or vision. The recording begins with some deeply relaxing hypnotherapy. And then we'll meet our vision of anxiety and stress. And we'll look how to solve it and move forward in our everyday lives without it. Let's begin.

So let's get into a comfortable position for you. Have a little stretch and move around and you'll soon be in that position that you like the most. if you have a little stretch. And once we begin, you can help by remaining where you are. Our first goal is for you to become unaware of your body. And you can achieve this by being as still as you want to be.

And take a deep breath in, filling your lungs with air. And if your eyes aren't closed already, Pick and imaginary spot and stare at that spot without moving a muscle and take a deep breath in again and exhale and slowly close your eyelids. To go into a hypnotic state of mind. Mentally picture and imagine that you are looking at the muscles in the tips of the toes over your left foot.

through those muscles as they move back into the board of the foot. All of these muscles, as it does move into the board of the foot, back into the arch and all the way back into the heel. Now turn all those muscles loose and let them grow limp and lazy, just like a handful of loose rubber bands as the muscles begin to relax. Just let your mind relax too.

Relax to mind drift. Let your mind drift off to a pleasant scene in your imagination. Move on up into the ankle now. Also begin to grow loose and limp. Begin breathing more deeply, just as you breathe each night. When you are deep and sound in slumber, just imagine that you can see your breath as a white mist. coming from your nostrils.

Each and every time that you exhale this white mist, you're freeing yourself of tension and going deeper, deeper into drowsy relaxation. Now as those muscles relax, just let go a little more. That started from the toes of your left foot

just a few seconds ago. Let it move over now into the toes of the right foot and from the ankle all letting go and go deeper into sleep center of nervous energy which muscle lets loose the tensions relaxing

drifting down deeper and deeper into sleep into slumber relaxation feet going deeper into drowsy slumber into the neck the muscles let go the muscles relax

just as they relax each night when you are deep and go deeper and deeper into slumber. This relaxation feeling now, go down your back from the base of the back of your head to the base of your spine. Each muscle and nerve along the spine gets loose, it removes the tension, and that relaxation feeling feels so good. and drifts into each muscle and you feel deeper and deeper into a drowsy slumber. The groove of relaxation spreads out into the broad muscles of the back. Every muscle and nerve feels deeply relaxed and into the shoulder.

The muscles just let go. Detensing and soothing from the shoulders down to the elbows. The upper arm muscles are turning loose. Just relaxing now, the muscles relaxed. It's slightly open if you want it to. Let go and detent. And the feeling moves up through the nose. And each nerve gives way

and the feeling soothes all the little muscles. They feel so relaxed and the feeling moves up into your forehead. Eyebrows are relaxing now. And across the forehead the muscles smooth out. across the top of the skull, down the back of the neck, down through the temples, back around the ears, all the muscles are loose and lazy, just like a handful of loose rubber bands.

And you may feel now a pleasant, tingling sensation, your toes, sensation, growing stronger and stronger now. and stronger now as your entire body. The pleasant glow of complete and utter relaxation. You're completely relaxed. Each muscle and nerve your body. With the tense, so good. I'd like you to use your imagination now.

I don't want you to imagine. I'd like you to think about a beautiful, lush, tropical, garden. This is a paradise. And like a paradise, there are only wonderful things here can come to you here. This is your garden. You're lying on a soft, grassy area. Next to a beautiful stream, you're gazing at the blue sky above. A cloud drifts by, and as your eyes follow it across the sky, you feel a tranquil peace on the sun. as it cradles your body the water from the stream

bubbles past you as its pleasing melody soothes you the scent of an exotic flower is carried to you by the soft breeze that is blowing as he breathed in the perfume moves through you and with each breath a deeper But more relaxed feeling comes over you, a wonderful feeling.

A peaceful feeling. You look up to the lush green trees. Top of one is the most beautiful butterfly that you've ever seen. It starts to glide. It's colourful wings outstretched to catch the breeze. You watch the beautiful butterfly. Drift slowly downward. As you see it drifts to you.

Unless it drifts down, so too will you drift into the deepest state of relaxation. So as I count, from five down to one, your body drift downward like that of the butterfly. Watch its wings as it glides down through the tree tops. Things are getting hazier, turns its wings to sail with the breeze. You are very peaceful, very relaxed, it soars to the lower branches, and you almost feel your body drifting, drifting on air. Both drift slowly downwards its wings and as a rest so you find yourself. It has not been easier recently.

times of stress can often stretch out so long that every day just getting by takes almost everything we have yet every day we wait to find the same self-made path this path of life on which you always seem to find yourself without shoes on stones and maybe broken glass yet something tells you, but it really doesn't have to be this way. It truly shouldn't need to be this way. Dream of better times. Free. That's good to travel. That doesn't hurt your feet. I have to change for a little progress to be made. Find yourself noticeably closer to your goal. Trudgery. To escape your stress and to ease your soul,

learning something absolutely awful into something quite sublime with unforeseen conclusions yet. With a guaranteed present moment, as long as you may choose, follows on these words, a chance to venture, and with your departure, the harshness of your path is ready, ready for some change, in feeling for a different kind of walking. to a fairer state of mind, which I ask you to be here, to hear all I have to say. And in short time, quite naturally, you'll realise you're walking in a very different way. You walk is transformed, that's never ending. Upset.

You've experienced is just a memory now, and you breathe in this gentle vision. and you breathe out all the way things used to be. All things pass without exception. All upset, pain and sorrow must inevitably end. And so because you are aware of knowing this, release becomes yourself and locks its own resistance. All pictures change to this. A little simple, easy way of being

with a state of mind, secret space, the place beyond your worldly face, and by all to be at peace. You take a deeper breath and gentle. Every step within yourself, you wonder just how deep can comfort guide you through into an ever deeper pleasure, reassuring is the feeling.

is the feeling, knowing that there are an infinite supply. The world can wait. This time and place are yours. There are no expectations or conditions to fulfill. Nothing that you have to do but breathe. Just breathe yourself within this ever-deepening comfort. The story flows, a slipping inward silently, towards your peathe. Peaceful centre, gliding inwards on a trail of gently coloured light, showing brighter on the inside,

opening, discovering, investigating. You breathe in this gentle vision. It's the depths of promise concerning worldly things. Focus on myths and bring it to mind and remember ways of being that are so familiar. Anything can be and you'll see this all around. you as you walk, you feel the stony broken path of life beneath your feet. And as you feel this, you know this also. As you follow on these words, breathing, and with each breath you get strength, resolve and confidence. And a knowledge of an approaching change of heart.

Two images of you, which is you, just how you are. is of you again, but just how you'd like to be. The image of yourself is dragging and getting you down. You caress your golden locket because, as you know, very well, once you found the path, an easy path for you, where you are at ease, the image of you on the bad path will disappear and become the same as the image of you on the better path. The way things are going to be, being yourself going on this better path, you caress your golden locket,

as you dream of what shall be, imagining the pictures kept within, the one of you just now, how you're going to be, how you feel forever, slowly pictures reflect you on the positive stress-free path, which you will exist on, and to feel the lot of you. and to feel the larger part of your thoughts and feelings, anxiety, stress, low confidence. These feelings which are following you upon your path, they try and thought your path and capture your attention or energy. And they try and stop you having your release. And they're standing in between you've been feeling and the way easier stress-free life.

You see a vision which represents, this negativity and embodies it. It's like some animated ball of hurtful negativity. It's an aggravated little thing that is sometimes present, frustrating and irritating, and seems close to you, and never seems to quite completely go away. Picture these feelings as you wish as it follows you. When you envision a vision of what it looks like,

and has been following you on this path. Life's challenges, as you've gone on the path before, the sun has shown and there have been better times. And you realize you can always go to these times again, that this vision of negativity and of stress is clear in your mind's eye to escape, to get away from it forever, and you will have the strength and stamina

to find the better path for you. of negativity has followed you and you caress your golden locket, the vision of these negativities. What you realise is that the better path cannot and will not be found unless you solve the problem on these negativities following you behind in this vision. You know you cannot get away or escape. You see what's true. There's two of you what to do. You have to choose to stop.

your frantic search for future happiness, to turn and face these negativity. And you caress, your golden locket, it brings you strength and resolve, and you stop, and you address and look at the vision of the negativity's in stress. No longer do you try and get away,

which in itself is a huge relief. The peace that you imagined this could be. And you see right now, now that this vision of stress has stopped following you and it also seems relieved at this. Touch the golden locket hanging on the golden chain around your neck, this smooth gold surface. And bring to mind the pictures that are safely kept with it, one of you as you are now and the one you'd like to be and feel forever after this. And you see in your mind's eye the vision of how you want to

be and you take a step towards the vision of negativity and the vision walks slowly towards you and just off the path there is a tree stump by a stream of flowing water and you see this vision clearly for the first time and any fear now falls away and you completely see that this vision harbours no ill will towards you the negativity it contains and it carries all the the upset you've suffered on this path for the time it followed you and this vision needs your love and support and understanding. You feel deeply for this vision exactly what you ask it to do and you ask it to sit down and it leaves the path to sit on the tree stump by the stream. Your path together work can be done and as you walk with a vision you notice that it has been walking on

shoes, shoe on the right foot and the right shoe on the left foot, and its journey hard and its feet are sore. You can gently now and tie their laces of these shoes, and both shoes come off, and several stones fall out of each, and you feel positivity flow from this vision, full of delight and relieving the shoes, the feet of the vision in the stream, taking away all dirt and soreness. and the vision is clearly relieved and somewhat comforted and you decide that you're going to wash this vision because it is dirty.

You wash it with love, care and patience, taking all the time that you need and you delicately wipe the dirt away and you cleanse the vision and you feel all the stress and tension dissolving. hours each second passes, the tension and stress keeps dissolving away. And you give it love and attention. The shoes back on the right feet and do the shoelaces up. And a feeling comes to mind, times since you have looked inside to see those pictures safely kept in your locket, and you open your locket. Once again, you look into the vision. And the vision does the same and looks into its locket.

and you open the lock, the vision opens its locket, and as your locket opens it shows what you haven't seen before and you look within and you see the truth. The old picture has gone, the one way you have stress, the picture of what you are going to be, that's de-stressed. What you see instead is the vision standing right in front of you. The picture in your golden locket

as the features of a glad, happy person, a radiantly blissful human being devoid of fear and filled with hope and confidence, with energy, with stamina, with warmth and love, and everlasting fear. Because this vision, which had all those stresses and negatives in, is completely clear of all those negative thoughts. This positive vision now, this lovely vision,

as like a tanner's man as a picture inside your locket. And the vision now removes its chain and locket and holds it out within its hand and it looks at you with hope you have to do. You take off your chain and golden locket and you place this gently around the vision's neck and the precious vision. You have tried to get away from all. all this time now climbs and stands up on the tree stump, ready to deliver what is yours, the golden chain unlock it, which you thought you carried all these years.

Not a natural fact, carried by you, it was carried by your other. And the vision places the chain around your neck containing both the pictures, which you know now are of you a wonderful experience, precious. Vision points behind you to the painful path on which you once walked together. And you turn to look and you see that the painful path is now a river and it flows the other way. And when you turn around again towards your vision, you see the stream from which you took the water now

from fresh green, no stones or broken glass to hurt your feet. The perfect path to walk on on the tree stone. No creature is to be seen. These shoes will last for years. You know they will fit your feet and you put them on and they do. And your heart is filled with wonder. Astonishing, remarkable, so perfectly acceptable. You reach up for your locket.

You find it isn't there, of course. That's right, no image needed when you know you are the source of the light within you. The world has changed and all as well. Your path is new and bright and wonderful and easy now to walk on and so you do. And feeling now all the hurt inside you is healing and how it should be in all the good and natural ways. No longer are you trying to escape the vision which was the other part of you. The internalised negativities and conflict ends the vision of this by treating it well instead of trying to run away.

way it was following you who accepted the vision for what it was, gave it care knowing nothing is behind you, and you have forever inner peace, deep within your heart and just how fully, truly deeply you see and sense and you feel this change. Truly fully deeply now, how could you not? Your struggle is over, your struggle is over, your strong. strength return. A sweet release extends through all dimensions, equally bright and into your soul. A rising sun within your heart shining out eternally. A glad and joyous inner celebration. Knowing this is so, you see the light is good and all is well again. You see the light is good and all is well again and just so. activities as within you now.

And you can sense this very clearly. Yes, so very, very deeply. So profoundly in your soul. Accepting self in such a way that you know and feel you are completely free. That feels good. And that feels right. This road in front of you is so easy to travel now.

Gliding along, angelic, and breathing in calm confidence, truly feeling real, yet easy with it, and just right, sense something a long time lost. Turn to you now, this central, crucial feeling, self-acceptance now,

becoming the whole as you were then, so long ago, yet deeper, richer, so much more than you have ever known. or new could be this new a feeling endlessly completing deepest peace and contentment and seeing this as being all you need to be fulfilled with this new found being a simple bliss that I can say to you with proper full confidence that this path on which your walk right now has led you here you are within this present moment your better path

For as long as you may choose, now follows on these words. Knowing that you met the vision of your negativity that you hold onto, and you have cleansed it, and you can look forward to stress free.
