Here is a script for a mindfulness hypnotherapy session:
Induction
“Welcome to this mindfulness hypnotherapy session. Allow yourself to get comfortable, either sitting or lying down, and take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Feel the air fill your lungs, and then release any tension or stress as you exhale.
Imagine yourself standing at the top of a staircase, with each step leading you deeper into relaxation. As you breathe in, imagine fresh, calming air filling your body. As you breathe out, imagine any thoughts, worries, or tensions leaving your body. With each breath, feel yourself relaxing, letting go of any anxiety or stress.
Take a moment to notice the sensation of your feet touching the ground. Feel the weight of your body distributed evenly, supported by the earth beneath you. Allow yourself to feel grounded and safe.
Now, bring your attention to your breath. Focus on the sensation of the air moving in and out of your body. Feel the rise and fall of your chest, the expansion and contraction of your lungs. Simply observe your breath, without trying to control it or change it in any way. Allow yourself to relax, to let go, and to simply be.”
Deepening
“As you continue to breathe deeply, imagine yourself sinking deeper into relaxation. Feel your body becoming heavier, more relaxed, and more calm. Imagine any thoughts or worries floating away, like clouds disappearing into the sky.
Now, visualize a warm, comforting light filling your body. Imagine this light spreading from the crown of your head, down through your neck, and into your shoulders, arms, and chest. As it spreads, it brings with it a deep sense of relaxation, calmness, and peace.
Allow this light to fill your entire body, dissolving any areas of tension or discomfort. Imagine it soothing your mind, quieting your thoughts, and bringing you into a state of profound relaxation.
As you continue to breathe deeply, repeat the following phrase to yourself: ‘I am calm, I am relaxed, I am at peace.'”
Mindfulness Exercise
“Now, bring your attention to the present moment. Focus on your breath, your body, and your surroundings. Notice the sensation of the air on your skin, the sounds around you, and the sensation of your body sitting or lying down.
Imagine you are sitting in a peaceful, serene environment. It could be a beach at sunset, a forest glade, or a mountain meadow. Allow yourself to fully immerse in this environment, noticing the sights, sounds, and sensations around you.
As you sit in this peaceful environment, repeat the following phrase to yourself: ‘I am present, I am aware, I am at peace.’ Allow yourself to fully embody these words, feeling the truth of them in your heart and soul.
Now, take a moment to notice your thoughts. Allow them to arise without judgment, without attachment, and without resistance. Simply observe them, like clouds passing across the sky. Remember, you are not your thoughts. You are the observer, the witness, the one who is present and aware.
As you continue to sit in this peaceful environment, cultivate a sense of kindness and compassion towards yourself and others. Allow yourself to feel a deep sense of connection to all beings, knowing that we are all interconnected and interdependent.
Take a few more deep breaths, feeling the peace and tranquility of this moment. Know that you can return to this state at any time, simply by focusing on your breath and bringing your attention to the present moment.”
Counting and Awakening
“Now, take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, slowly count from five to one. As you count, allow yourself to slowly come back to a state of full awareness, feeling refreshed, relaxed, and renewed.
Five… feeling more awake and alert
Four… noticing your body and your surroundings
Three… feeling more energized and focused
Two… taking a deep breath, feeling refreshed and renewed
One… opening your eyes, feeling fully awake and alert
Take a deep breath in, and when you’re ready, slowly open your eyes. Notice how you feel, and take that sense of calm and tranquility with you into your day.”
