Imagine that you are like a river, flowing effortlessly through the landscape, carrying the energy of reality with you. You are not attached to the illusion, and you are not attached to the reality.
Here’s a sample hypnotherapy script inspired by the concept of “Choosing Reality over Illusion” from various spiritual and philosophical traditions:
Title: Awakening to Reality
Introduction (Induction)
(Soothing music starts playing. The hypnotherapist’s voice is calm and gentle.)
Hypnotherapist: “Welcome to this journey of self-discovery and exploration. Allow yourself to settle in, feeling the weight of your body supported by the surface beneath you. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, feel any tension or stress leaving your body. Imagine yourself in a peaceful, serene environment, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature.”
Deepening (Progressive Relaxation)
Hypnotherapist: “Now, bring your attention to your toes. As you inhale, imagine fresh, calming energy flowing into your toes. As you exhale, feel any residual tension or discomfort melting away.
(Slowly)
Gradually, work your way up through your body, focusing on each area in turn: your feet, ankles, calves, knees, thighs, hips, back, shoulders, arms, hands, neck, and head. With each breath, feel yourself becoming more relaxed, more at ease.”
Imagery (Visualization)
Hypnotherapist: “Imagine yourself standing in a beautiful, serene garden, surrounded by vibrant flowers and towering trees. The air is filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the only sound is the gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze. As you breathe in, imagine that you are inhaling the sense of peace, the sense of calm, and the sense of wonder that this environment represents.”
Guided Imagery (The Illusion of Separation)
Hypnotherapist: “Now, imagine that you are aware of the illusion of separation, the illusion that we are separate from the world around us. You see that this illusion is like a veil, a thin layer of mist that obscures our true nature. As you breathe in, imagine that you are inhaling the energy of clarity, the energy of awareness, and the energy of understanding.
“Imagine that you are like a lotus flower, growing in the muddy waters of the illusion. But as you grow, you begin to rise above the surface, and you see the world in a new light.
You see that everything is interconnected, that everything is part of a larger whole. You see that the illusion of separation is just that, an illusion, and that reality is much more profound and beautiful than we can imagine.”
Guided Imagery (Choosing Reality)
Hypnotherapist: “As you stand in the garden, imagine that you are choosing reality over illusion. You are choosing to see the world as it truly is, rather than through the lens of our limited perceptions.
You are choosing to let go of the illusion of separation, and to embrace the truth of our interconnectedness.
“Imagine that you are like a river, flowing effortlessly through the landscape, carrying the energy of reality with you. You are not attached to the illusion, and you are not attached to the reality. You are free to flow, to move, and to act in harmony with the natural order of things.”
Reinforcement (Affirmations)
Hypnotherapist: “As you continue to breathe deeply, repeat the following affirmations to yourself, allowing the words to sink deeply into your subconscious mind:
* I choose reality over illusion, and I see the world as it truly is.
* I am connected to everything, and everything is part of a larger whole.
* I am like a lotus flower, growing in the muddy waters of the illusion, but rising above the surface to see the truth.
* I trust in the natural order of things, and I allow myself to flow, to move, and to act in harmony with the universe.”
Conclusion (Counting Up)
Hypnotherapist: “As you come to the end of this journey, take a moment to notice how you feel. Notice the sense of clarity, the feeling of connection, and the renewed sense of purpose that comes from choosing reality over illusion. When you’re ready, you can slowly open your eyes, feeling refreshed, renewed, and more connected to your own inner wisdom. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, imagine yourself carrying this sense of clarity, this sense of connection, and this sense of purpose with you throughout your day.”
