(NOTE in the audio I say find a comfortable space for about 5-7 minutes, but it's really 15-20 minutes - sorry for overdelivering :-)
This is a powerful process that can have a profoundly postive impact on your emotional life. As you prepare for this journey, know that you are about to experience an enjoyable, brief, and life changing transformational journey.
ENJOY!
In our journey of self-discovery and personal growth, we often encounter deep-seated feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. These emotions, rooted in childhood experiences, can manifest as a constant need for external validation and justification for our desires. However, by shifting our perspective and language, we can begin to make meaningful changes in our lives.
To facilitate this transformation, I'd like to guide you through a hypnotic relaxation process. Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won't be disturbed for about 15-20 minutes. Settle into a seated or lying position and focus on your breath. Notice how it's always there, supporting you. Allow yourself to deepen and slow your breathing, connecting more fully with your body and the present moment.
As you relax, become aware of your body's contact with the earth beneath you. Recognize that your breath, heartbeat, and the earth's support are constants in your life, always working in the background to sustain you. With each breath, notice the pleasant sensations in your body, allowing them to expand and grow.
Now, let's connect with your higher consciousness - that part of you that has been present since conception and will remain with you throughout your life. Ask this wise, inner self to help you identify the first time you remember feeling the emotion that now feels stuck or intractable. Trust whatever answer comes to you.
Visualize that younger version of yourself experiencing this emotion for the first time. Float above the scene, observing with compassion. Recognize that while this younger self is a part of you, you are now an adult with the power to heal and comfort that child within.
Send love to your younger self. Allow them to notice you and feel your presence. Thank them for their strength and resilience. Ask them what they need to hear, what they want you to know. Listen with an open heart, breathing love and compassion into any emotions that arise.
If your younger self is willing, give them a hug. Comfort them and acknowledge the pain they've been holding. Remind yourself that you are now an adult, capable of healing this wound. As you hold your younger self in your heart, take deep breaths and notice the sensations in your body.
Intentionally fill your body with light and positive energy, allowing it to permeate every cell, every atom. Extend this healing light to your younger self until you're both glowing with its warmth and love. Take one final deep breath and affirm: 'I'm done with this now. I'm ready to move on. Thank you for the lessons and learning.'
Set your intention to be happier, more peaceful, and more at ease in your body. As you slowly return to full awareness, carry with you this sense of completion, love, and safety. Remember, you can access this beautiful energy within you at any time.
After this experience, I encourage you to move your body, take some deep breaths, and perhaps journal about your insights. Maintain a daily practice of checking in with your younger self, offering love and support. This ongoing connection can be a powerful tool for continued healing and growth.
Remember, you are loved, you are safe, and you are enough. Trust in your journey and the wisdom of your inner self. You have the power to create positive change in your life, one breath, one moment at a time.
