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 moment.
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.

and once we begin
remaining 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
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.
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.
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.
Just let go a little more.
Drift on a pleasant state.

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.
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 muscles go loose and relax and every muscle and nerve.

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.
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.

just like a handful of loose rubber bands.
And you may feel now a pleasant, tingling sensation.

Now you're completely relaxed.
Each muscle and nerve in your body.

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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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, precious, vision.
You have tried to get away from 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 in actual 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.
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.
The perfect path to walk on
and there upon the tree stone.
No creature is to be seen.
You see 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.
The machine 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 that 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 intention, the intention, the entire part of you, the intention, the intention,
internalized negativities and conflict.
You cleanse the vision of this by treating it well instead of trying to run away.
It was following you.
You accepted the vision for what it was, gave it care.
Truly, truly, deeply.
You see and sense, and you feel this change.
Be fully deeply deeply now.
