Bring to mind a memory or a thought that makes you smile. It could be a happy memory, a funny joke, or a simple pleasure in life.
Here is a script for an guided hypnosis session to help activate the inner smile:
Title: Activating the Inner Smile
Induction:
“Welcome to this guided hypnosis session, where you’ll embark on a journey to discover and activate your inner smile. Get comfortable, take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow any tension or stress to leave your body. Imagine yourself in a peaceful, serene environment, where you feel safe and relaxed.
Close your eyes, take another deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow your eyelids to grow heavy. Feel the weight of your eyelids, and let them relax, letting go of any remaining tension.
Now, bring your attention to your breath. Feel the sensation of the air moving in and out of your nostrils. As you inhale, imagine fresh, calming energy entering your body. As you exhale, imagine any doubts, worries, or concerns leaving your body.
With each breath, allow yourself to relax more deeply, letting go of any thoughts or distractions. You’re safe, and you’re exactly where you need to be. Take a few more deep breaths, and as you exhale, repeat after me: ‘I am relaxed, I am calm, I am at peace.'”
Deepening:
“Now, imagine yourself standing at the top of a staircase, with each step leading you deeper into relaxation. With each step, feel yourself becoming more relaxed, more calm, and more peaceful.
As you take the first step down, imagine any remaining tension or stress leaving your body. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, repeat after me: ‘I let go of all tension, I let go of all stress.’
Take the second step down, and imagine yourself becoming more relaxed, more calm, and more peaceful. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, repeat after me: ‘I am relaxed, I am calm, I am at peace.’
Continue taking steps down, feeling yourself becoming more relaxed and peaceful with each step. When you reach the bottom, imagine yourself in a beautiful, serene environment, surrounded by loving energy.
Take a moment to notice how you feel. Notice the sensation of relaxation in your body, the calmness in your mind, and the sense of peace in your heart. You are now in a deep state of relaxation, where your subconscious mind is open to positive suggestions and affirmations.”
Activating the Inner Smile:
“Now, imagine a warm, gentle light beginning to radiate from the center of your heart. This light represents your inner smile, a symbol of joy, happiness, and inner peace.
As this light grows, imagine it filling your entire chest, spreading throughout your body, and filling every cell with a sense of calmness and relaxation. You may feel a slight tingling sensation or a warmth in your body as this light spreads.
Now, bring to mind a memory or a thought that makes you smile. It could be a happy memory, a funny joke, or a simple pleasure in life. Allow yourself to fully immerse in this thought, and as you do, imagine your inner smile growing stronger.
Notice how your facial muscles begin to relax, and a gentle, subtle smile spreads across your face. This is your inner smile, radiating outward from your heart.
Repeat after me: ‘I smile from the inside out, filling my body with joy and happiness.'”
Affirmations:
“Now, take a few deep breaths, and as you inhale, repeat after me: ‘I am worthy of happiness and joy.’
As you exhale, repeat after me: ‘I release all negativity and stress.’
Inhale: ‘I trust in my ability to smile from the inside out.’
Exhale: ‘I let go of all fears and doubts.’
Inhale: ‘I am filled with inner peace and calmness.’
Exhale: ‘I am at peace with myself and the world around me.'”
Closure:
“Take a few more deep breaths, and as you exhale, imagine any remaining thoughts or distractions leaving your body. When you’re ready, slowly open your eyes, and take a deep breath in, feeling refreshed, renewed, and filled with a sense of calmness and peace.
Remember, your inner smile is always with you, radiating outward from your heart. Take a moment each day to activate it, and watch how it transforms your life.
Congratulations, you’ve completed this guided hypnosis session. Take the feelings of relaxation and calmness with you, and remember to smile from the inside out.”
Final Suggestions:
“Before we conclude, I’d like to offer a few final suggestions. Take a few moments each day to practice deep breathing exercises, and as you exhale, imagine your inner smile spreading throughout your body.
Whenever you feel stressed or overwhelmed, take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, repeat the phrase: ‘I smile from the inside out.’
And whenever you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, take a moment to smile, knowing that your inner smile is shining bright, filling your body with joy and happiness.”
