do not listen to this recording whilst

driving or whilst operating machinery

only listen when you can safely relax

and bring your full awareness to your

own complete comfort

oh wow this is Michael Seeley welcoming

you to this hypnosis experience and I

have created this hypnosis recording for

you to help you to improve your sleep

and at the same time to help you to

reduce your anxiety now one of the most

important things to remember at the

outset of any self hypnosis experience

is to know and understand a tip gnosis

is entirely within your control and by

this I mean that this state this

Pleasant state of relaxing this Pleasant

state of focusing your awareness and

this deeply pleasant state of harnessing

your own internal control really is up

to you

so whilst you are relaxing and beginning

to let yourself unwind even more every

suggestion and every word I am saying to

you right now is really a reminder a

reminder to your own mind and a reminder

to those deeper parts inside of yourself

which always know exactly how to do what

is the very best for you

so I would simply suggest that you start

with your eyes open as you bring this

thought to your mind I can successfully

go into hypnosis or I can successfully

go into hypnosis just as soon as I

choose because if you really do focus in

your attention and harness your

awareness to those quieter moments that

live always inside of you and you may

start to feel your eyes blinking and

notice all of those small sensations of

your eyelids growing just slightly

heavier with each and every blink

and isn't it wonderful to know that you

have this much power to direct your

attention to all of those smaller

muscles around your eyes just noticing

and witnessing what it is like for your

eyes to grow heavier under the power of

your own suggestion

feel those heavier eyes growing more and

more tired more and more lazy and

relaxed

as each and every blink your eyes would

be much more comfortable closing down

just as soon as they will

and in your own time just wet out along

a breath

as you allow all of the air that your

body naturally releases just let it all

out as you breathe out and relax

and so easily and naturally you will of

course breathe in all of that oxygen and

breathe out and relax

you

and as you do relax observe your own

breathing

has become aware of your chest rising

and falling

and you lower stomach rising and falling

as we can always remember a deeper cycle

of breathing is that diaphragm expands

and contracts the stomach will naturally

rise and fall

and one of the most powerful tools for

alleviating any sensations of anxiety is

really as simple as breathing just a

little slower and especially just a

little deeper

in a very powerful way to help us reduce

our tension or L stress is to go ahead

and give ourselves this suggestion with

each and every breath I take I go deeper

and if you've listened to my voice

before then you know this really is

Hawaii down into a very powerful and

very pleasant state of hypnotic

relaxation

going deeper and deeper down

as each and every breath you release

takes you 10 times deeper

you

and you feel like you can compound this

state of developing relaxation becoming

aware of your physical sensations

perhaps feeling your skin pressing

against your bed or the chair you're

sitting in whatever surface you are

comfortably resting on you know that you

are deliberately allowing yourself to

become even more comfortable even more

comfortable

and if that means you have to stretch

what wiggle some part about or move your

hands or your feet and just go ahead and

do that now

calmly and easily

you

because there really is no requirement

to stay perfectly still within a

relaxing hypnosis after all even as we

do naturally sweep our body really is

still in gentle motion sometimes we turn

this way or that moving to our left side

or rolling over to our right side and

yet isn't an amazing how we can just

remain soundly asleep deeply relaxed as

our body's natural processes go about

healing us and refreshing us and always

replenishing us through our nightly

slumbers so I would always encourage you

to just let yourself stretch and then

find that beautiful relaxation that

comes after you stretch

or if you want to curl up your toes into

a ball and feel that amazing relief at

release as you just let go those muscles

unwind and relax

or you can scrunch your fingers up into

a fist and hold that tension just for a

second or two and then let go of those

fingers as you feel your forearms just

release and relax

at the same time give yourself the

suggestion to allow that sense of

relaxation to spread further throughout

your entire body

you

relaxing

and calmly breathing

and always going deeper down into your

self-hypnosis state

you

and now I'd like to give your deeper

mind a powerful message to help you calm

yourself when faced with anxiety for a

calm and gentle visual imagination

exercise

and you can start by just imagining the

word anxiety as if you are writing that

word on a blackboard or a whiteboard

safe and secure as you see those letters

before you and you can spell that word

out as you make those marks with a pen

or a piece of chalk that word anxiety

and isn't it funny how powerful words

can be as we sometimes assign these

labels to ourselves sometimes we tell

ourselves that we are in these states

we start to become concerned even before

we know that we consciously in these

states what will it be like to

experience that state of anxiety

well we tell ourselves I'm someone who

suffers from anxiety and even though

perhaps they shouldn't

sometimes these words themselves can

hold a power over us and yet isn't it

interesting to think that if we can

create this state if our minds and our

bodies can create the state and surely

our minds and our bodies also hold the

keys to creating very different states

or to unwinding those states

you

water reversing those states

is it possible for anxiety to move

backwards you might ask

now what would that be how would that

appear for anxiety to move backwards

and as those deeper parts of your

unconscious mind begin to process this

idea I'd like you now to imagine taking

an eraser or a duster or a cloth and

just erasing that word you have drawn on

that blackboard or that whiteboard

erasing those letters one after the

other knowing you are safe and secure

deleting that I

and just making that in completely

disappear erasing that hex

and really let yourself see each

following letter as you take this time

to erase a next letter in that word

giving your unconscious that powerful

signal and this powerful message to know

that if you choose it so will it be

if you choose it you really can relax

you really can find just a little

further distance outside of those old

states

just a little more pleasant darkness and

control outside of those old ways of

being and behaving

and maybe this hasn't entirely erased

your anxiety just yet but that's

perfectly fine to know

because your unconscious is such an

amazing part of you but even just by

doing this and making this time to

practice this very simple imaginary

visualization already these seeds of

change are pointing so deeply within you

and maybe just maybe we can return to

that idea of moving backwards

what would it mean for anxiety to

reverse its direction

because maybe you have been aware in the

past of when that anxiety does start but

there can be a certain feeling or a

certain sensation which is the very

first pinpoint the very first instance

of how that anxiety begins

and by this I mean where can you feel

and notice even just in your memory or

your conscious awareness from time to

time of where that anxiety begins

does it start in your stomach is it a

feeling that begins in your throat

is it a sensation that starts in your

chest or a tightness or shallowness of

your natural breathing

because you really can use your powerful

observational mind to notice all of

these things

and I'd like you to remember that

whenever you do you can also become

aware that anxiety may have a direction

even your own anxiety may have a flow or

a movement through your body and I don't

know exactly how this movement or change

for you

but I do know that if those sensations

begin in your stomach and they move

through your chest through your throat

and then out your arms and your legs and

even up to your face and your head but

there is a movement there that you

really can reverse if you just take this

time to imagine it so

so again I'm asking your unconscious

mind to engage in this creative

imagination work

and feel now how would it be to reverse

the direction of that anxiety

what if you really could powerfully

change and reverse all of those

sensations

you

what if you could change and reverse a

flow of that anxiety

how much relief how much calmness and

how much deep deep relaxation could you

feel

what is it you are left with inside of

your body inside of your stomach inside

of your chest inside of your throat and

deeply down your arms and your legs

even your face and your features and

your scalp and your head and your neck

and your back what is that you are left

with when you reverse and choose to

change directions of the old anxiety

maybe there is something beautiful

waiting for you there

maybe there are new images but my

spontaneously come to your mind

maybe there is a deep sense of relief

and a soothing calmness that fills in to

you now

bringing you peace and tranquility

as you continue to breathe

breathing in calmness

and breathing out all of the remainders

of that anxiety

as each and every breath you take in now

fills you with calm energy

and each and every breath or laces that

anxiety

there is so much more of this powerful

self-control growing within you in each

and every moment

as you start to feel yourself drifting

further and further away from all of

those old worries all of those old

concerns all that old negativity

that's almost as if you're on your very

own ship or sailing vessel or rowboat

gently moving through the water away

from that Shore

and the further this boat and this ship

glides calmly and easily after these

waters

a more you just spontaneously throw out

overboard each and every old concern

each and every one of those old worries

you just throw them out over the side

watching them dissolve and melt into the

beautiful blue waves lapping against

your boat

you

and you feel such a deeper sense of

calmness

as you imagine breathing in this pure

fresh air all the way down deeply into

your lungs

as this vessel takes you further and

further away from the shores of

conscious wakefulness

you

deeper and deep it down into your dream

world

into your dream state

as now each and every word I am saying

to you take you've her line further

toward deep sleep

deep sleep

you

relaxation

calmness and tranquillity

you're sailing on and on

as the water itself is growing karma and

karma around you

each and every muscle and nerve in your

physical being is continuing to relax

and loosen and just becoming limp and

lazy

you

as you are moving more and more into

such a beautiful calm and restful sleep

knowing you are safe and secure

so safe and so secure as if you are

wrapped up in the very clouds in the sky

now those clouds

wrap around you and your deeper mind is

calling you more and more toward your

total replenishment towards your total

sleep

you

drifting down down down drifting and

dreaming

so that each and every night it just

becomes so much easier for you to fall

asleep naturally

naturally you sleep

almost as if as soon as your head

touches your pillow you're falling

asleep

and each and every day onwards when you

do wake up in the rise you'll feel so

amazingly refreshed so much karma and

have such a greater sense of

self-control

you

you know you are a calm person a person

who feels in control of themselves and

their emotions

calmness is just a part of who you are

you breathe calmly and you react calmly

and all the suggestions are simply

reinforced and expanded upon and

assimilated deeper within you each and

every time you sleep

so in a moment my voice will stop

talking to you and as it does you know

that your own deeper mind will continue

lulling you into an even deeper sleep

sleeping soundly and easily

as your dreams bring you calmness and

tranquillity and all the very best ways

for you

so sleep now just sleep as I wish you

good night

you
