Here is a sample sports hypnotherapy script to improve bodily awareness:

Title: “Body Awareness and Optimal Performance”

Induction:

(Speak in a calm, soothing tone)

“Welcome, take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow your body to relax, letting go of any tension or stress. Imagine yourself standing in a peaceful environment, feeling calm and centered. Take another deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow your eyelids to grow heavy, feeling your eyes becoming heavier and heavier. Your eyelids are now closed, and you’re ready to embark on this journey of discovery, where your body and mind will work together in perfect harmony.”

Deepening:

“Imagine yourself descending a staircase, with each step, you’re becoming more and more relaxed. Your body is sinking deeper into relaxation, like a warm bath enveloping you. You’re now at the bottom of the staircase, and as you take a deep breath in, you feel your body becoming heavier, sinking deeper into relaxation. Your mind is quiet, focused, and calm.”

Body Awareness:

“Bring your attention to your body, starting from the crown of your head, slowly scanning down to your toes. As you focus on each area, allow yourself to become aware of any sensations, feelings, or thoughts that arise. Notice the sensation of your feet touching the ground, the weight distribution, the sensation of your toes spreading or curling. Move up through your ankles, calves, knees, thighs, hips, lower back, upper back, shoulders, arms, hands, neck, and head. Take your time, and allow yourself to fully immerse in this bodily awareness.”

Imagery:

“Imagine yourself performing your sport or activity with perfect form and technique. See yourself moving with grace, power, and precision. Notice the alignment of your body, the rotation of your joints, the engagement of your core, and the flow of your movements. Imagine the sensations of your muscles working together in harmony, each one contracting and relaxing in perfect synchrony. Feel the rhythm of your breath, the beat of your heart, and the flow of your movements.”

Affirmations:

“Repeat after me: ‘I trust my body to perform at its best.’ ‘I am aware of my body’s sensations and respond with precision.’ ‘I am strong, confident, and in control.'”

Visualization:

“Visualize yourself in a scenario where you’re facing a challenging situation in your sport or activity. See yourself remaining calm, focused, and centered, trusting your body to respond with precision and power. Imagine yourself successfully navigating the challenge, feeling a sense of pride, confidence, and accomplishment.”

Counting and Awakening:

“Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, slowly count from 5 to 1. As you reach 1, you’ll feel refreshed, renewed, and ready to take on your sport or activity with improved bodily awareness and confidence. When you open your eyes, you’ll feel alert, focused, and ready to perform at your best.”

Final words:

“Remember, your body is capable of amazing things. Trust in yourself, trust in your body, and you’ll be unstoppable.”
