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.
Starting point is 00:02:51 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 would like have a little stretch and once we begin remaining our first goal
Starting point is 00:03:25 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 and your lungs were there and if your eyes aren't closed already, big and imaginary spot and stare at that spot without moving a muscle.
Starting point is 00:03:57 And take a deep breath in again and slowly close your eyelids. If you haven't already, so close, hypnotic state of mind. You to mentally picture and imagine that you are looking at the muscles in the tips, nose over your left foot. In your image, those muscles as they move back into the board of the body, follow these muscles, as it does move into the board, 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.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Now as the muscles begin to relax, just let your mind relax. to let your mind drift and let your mind drift off to a pleasant scene in your imagination. Relaxation. Move on up into the ankle now. Half muscles begin to grow loose and limp, relaxing more with each easy breath. Begin breathing more deeply, just as you breathe each night. When you are deep in slumber, just imagine that you can see your breath as a white mist. 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, easing off. And just relaxing now as those muscles relax.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Just let go a little more. Drift on a pleasant state. Started from the toes of your feet. the toes of your left foot just a few seconds ago. Let it move over now into the toes of the right foot, muscles loose and from the ankle deeper into drowsy slumber, just as they relax even deeper into relaxation feeling now. Go down your back and the base of the back of your head, the base of your spine. Each muscle and nerve along the spine, it's a It's loose, it removes the tension and that relaxation feeling feels so good and drifts into each muscle.
Starting point is 00:11:45 And you feel deeper and deeper into a drowsy slumber and the wave of relaxation spreads out into the broad muscles of the back across the small the back of the shoulders. The muscles go loose and relax and 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 in both arms the upper arm muscles are turning loose easing off and just relaxing now up into your jaw and the muscles relaxed and your mouth may slightly open if you want it to But the teeth, quite touching, the muscles let go and detent.
Starting point is 00:13:52 And the feeling moves up through the nose. And each nerve gives way and the feeling soothes all the little muscles around the eyes. They feel so relaxed and the feeling moves up into your forehead. Your eyebrows are relaxing now and across the forehead the muscles smooth out. the top of the skull, down the back of the neck, the temples, the muscles are loose and lazy, just like a handful of loose rubber bands. And you may feel now a pleasant, tingling sensation. The tips of your toes, a pleasant tingling sensation, going stronger and stronger now as your entire body.
Starting point is 00:15:03 is being bathed on the pleasant glow of complete relaxation. Now you're completely relaxed. Each muscle and nerve in your body. Detents. I'd like you to use your imagination now. You need to imagine. I'd like you to think about a beautiful tropical garden. This is a paradise.
Starting point is 00:15:47 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. Now drifts by, and as your eyes follow it across the sky, you feel a tranquil peace 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 it in.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Perfew moves through you. And with each breath, a relax feeling comes over you. Wonderful feeling. It's a little feeling. You look up to the lush green trees and at the top of one is the most beautiful butterfly
Starting point is 00:17:29 that you've ever seen. It starts to glide. Its colourful wings outstretched to catch the breeze. You watch the beautiful butterfly. Drift slowly downward as you see it drift. Unless it drifts down, so too will you drift into the de-relaxation. Its wings as it glides down through the tree tops. Things are getting hazier.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Turns its wings to sail with the breeze. sail with the breeze. You are very peaceful. Barry relaxed. Three, it soars to the lower branches. And you almost feel your body drifting. Drifting on air. Drift slowly downwards and as it rests and stretch out so long that every day just getting by
Starting point is 00:19:49 almost everything we have, yet every day we wake to find the same self-made path of life on which you always seem to find yourself, walking painfully in worn out shoes, on stones and yet something tells you that it really doesn't have to be this way. Dream of better times, free, boot your feet, little progress to be made. Find yourself, noticeably, so disabling, closer to your goal for reach the end of trudgery to escape your stress and to ease your soul turning something absolutely awful
Starting point is 00:21:54 into something quite sublime the unforeseen conclusions yet with a guaranteed glad ending led you here is ready ready for some change in feeling in full for a different kind of walking, to a fairer state of mind, which I ask you.
Starting point is 00:23:28 To hear or realise you're walking in a very different way, you're transformed. You've experienced as just a memory now. And breathe in this gentle vision, and you breathe out all the way things used to be. All things pass without exception. Yes, all upset, pain and sorrow. must inevitably end. And so because you are aware of knowing this, release becomes yourself
Starting point is 00:24:32 and locks its own resistance and all pictures change to this. Easy way of being the state of mind, secret space, the place beyond your worldly face. Dig a deeper, every step within yourself, you wonder. just how deep weighed you through into an ever deeper pleasure, realising just how richly reassuring is the feeling, knowing that there are endless deaths in infinite supply.
Starting point is 00:26:10 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-story flow slipping inward silently to peaceful centre, gliding inwards on a trail of gently coloured light, showing brighter on the inside, discovering, investigating.
Starting point is 00:27:10 You breathe in this gentle vision. Focus, bring it to mind 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 and breathing and with each breath you get strength, resolve and confidence and a knowledge of an approaching change of heart.
Starting point is 00:28:14 of heart around your neck, the precious golden locket, in which you keep two pictures, two images of you, one of which is you, just how you are, and the other image is of you again, but just how you'd like to be. The image of yourself, where you have found, and where life is so much, life is dragging at you. And getting you down, you caress, you caress, your golden locket on this chain around your neck. Just how wonderful your life is going to be. Because as you know very well, once you found the path,
Starting point is 00:29:41 the 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. You'll be unburdened, set free. You feel so good the way you know it's meant to be
Starting point is 00:30:07 the way things are going to be yourself you caress your golden locket as you dream of what shall be imagining the pictures kept with it just now how you're going to be
Starting point is 00:30:40 and how you feel forever which you will exist on and to feel the larger part of your thoughts and feelings anxiety, stress, low confidence these feelings which are following you upon your path cry and thought your path
Starting point is 00:31:30 and capture your attention draining all your energy your release and they're standing in between you've been feeling an easier stress-free life you see a vision which represents
Starting point is 00:32:09 this negativity and embodies it like some animated ball of hurtful negativity It's an aggravated little thing that is sometimes present, frustrating and irritating and irritating, seems close to you, and never seemed to quite completely go picture these feelings as you wish, as it follows you, and you envision a vision of what it looks like and has been following you on this life's challenges. As you've gone on the path before, the sun has shown and there have been been brought.
Starting point is 00:33:20 better times. And you realize you can always go to these times again. This vision of negativity and of stress mind's eye 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 and of these negativities cannot and will not be found unless you solve the problem are these negativities following you behind in this vision. You know you cannot get away or escape. What's true, there's two of you who are what to do. And you have to choose to stop your frantic search for future happiness.
Starting point is 00:35:00 To turn and face these negativities, and you caress your golden locket to strength and resolve. You stop and you address and look at the vision. of the negativity is in stress, no longer do you try and get away, which in itself is a huge relief. A deeper piece that you imagined this could be. And you see right 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. New gold surface. And bring to mind the pictures that are safely kept within, the one of you as you are now, the one you'd like to be
Starting point is 00:36:17 forever after this. And you see in your mind's eye the vision of how you want to be, and you take a step 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, I was no ill will towards you. The negativity it can take carries all the upset you've suffered on this path.
Starting point is 00:37:48 For all the time it followed you, and this vision needs your love and support and understanding. You feel deeply for this vision, 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. the stream. Leave your path together so your work can be done with a vision. You notice that it has been walking on shoes, shoe on the right foot, and the right shoe on the left. That's been making its journey hard. You can gently now and tie the 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, clean the shoes, the feet of the vision in the stream, taking away all
Starting point is 00:39:59 dirt and soreness, and the vision is clearly relieved. What 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, delicately wipe the dirt away. You cleanse the vision and you feel all the stress and tension dissolving. Now as each second passes, 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. A long time since you have looked inside to see
Starting point is 00:41:33 those pictures safely kept in your locket and you open your locket once again and you look into the vision. And the vision does the same and looks into its locket and you open the locket and at the same time the vision opens its locket and as your locket opens it shows what you haven't seen before
Starting point is 00:42:07 look within and you see the truth and the old picture has gone the one way you have stress and the picture of what you are going to be forever after this de-stressed has gone as well What do you see instead is the vision standing right in front of you.
Starting point is 00:42:53 The picture in your golden locket as the features of a glad, happy person, a radiantly blissful human being devoid of fear revealed with hope and confidence, with energy, with stamina, with warmth and love and everlasting fear. Because this vision, which had all those stresses and negativity, in, it's 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

And the vision places the chain around your neck containing both the pictures which you know now are of you a wonderful experience. Vision points behind you to the painful path on which you once walked together. He turned 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. bones or broken glass to hit your feet.
