Sorrow and longing are a natural part of the human experience. They are messengers, guiding us towards growth, healing, and transformation. Allow yourself to embrace them, and trust that they will lead you to a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you.
Here is a sample hypnotherapy script for embracing sorrow and longing:
Induction:
“Welcome to this guided hypnotherapy session, where we’ll explore the power of embracing sorrow and longing. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow your body to relax, starting from the crown of your head, down to your toes. Feel the weight of your body sinking into the ground, supported and grounded.
Imagine yourself in a peaceful, serene environment, where you feel completely safe and relaxed. This could be a beach, a forest, or a quiet room in your home. Allow yourself to settle in, and take another deep breath in, feeling your body relax even further.”
Deepening:
“As you continue to breathe deeply, allow your eyelids to grow heavy, and your eyes to gently close. Feel your body sinking deeper into relaxation, as you let go of any tension or stress. Imagine a warm, soothing light filling your body, calming your mind, and quieting your thoughts.
You are now in a state of deep relaxation, where your subconscious mind is open to positive suggestions and change. Take a moment to allow yourself to settle in, and feel the calmness spread throughout your body.”
Embracing Sorrow Script:
“Imagine yourself in a place where you feel comfortable and safe. Allow yourself to breathe deeply, and settle into your body. As you exhale, imagine any tension or resistance melting away, leaving space for emotions to arise.
Notice any sorrow or longing that may be present for you. Allow yourself to acknowledge it, and give it permission to be. Imagine it as a color, a sensation, or a texture. Notice its shape, size, and intensity.
As you continue to breathe deeply, imagine this sorrow or longing as a messenger, carrying a gift or a lesson. Allow yourself to listen to its message, and receive its wisdom.
Notice how this sorrow or longing makes you feel. Does it feel heavy, or light? Does it feel stuck, or free-flowing? Allow yourself to fully experience it, without judgment or resistance.
Remember, sorrow and longing are a natural part of the human experience. They are messengers, guiding us towards growth, healing, and transformation. Allow yourself to embrace them, and trust that they will lead you to a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you.”
Counting and Awakening:
“Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, slowly start to count from 5 to 1. As you count, allow yourself to slowly come back to a state of full awareness, feeling refreshed, renewed, and more compassionate towards yourself.
5… feeling more present and aware in the moment
4… noticing the sorrow or longing, and its message
3… feeling more connected to yourself and your emotions
2… taking a deep breath in, and feeling more at peace
1… opening your eyes, and feeling fully awake and refreshed”
Final Suggestions:
“Remember, sorrow and longing are not something to be feared or resisted. They are messengers, guiding us towards growth, healing, and transformation. Take a few moments each day to acknowledge and embrace them, and trust that they will lead you to a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you.
As you go about your day, take a few deep breaths, and notice any sorrow or longing that may arise. Allow yourself to listen to its message, and receive its wisdom. You are strong enough to face whatever emotions arise, and you are worthy of compassion and kindness.”
