Awaken Your Authentic Self by Forgiving Yourself with Hypnotherapy Script:
Induction:
(Soft, calming music starts playing in the background)
“Allow yourself to relax, 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 a warm, soothing light beginning to fill the space around you, calming your mind and relaxing your muscles.
As you breathe in, repeat the phrase ‘I am calm’ to yourself. As you breathe out, repeat ‘I am relaxed.’ Allow this calmness and relaxation to deepen with each breath, feeling your body and mind letting go of all tension.
Imagine yourself standing in a peaceful, serene environment, surrounded by nature’s beauty. With each breath, feel your connection to your heart and your true self growing stronger.”
Deepening:
“Now, imagine yourself walking along a winding path, surrounded by tall trees and the sound of gentle water flowing in the distance. As you walk, notice the sensation of your feet touching the ground, feeling the weight and the connection to the earth.
With each step, allow yourself to become more relaxed, more open, and more receptive to the process of self-forgiveness. Remember, forgiveness is not about erasing the past or condoning mistakes, but about releasing the hold that these experiences have on your present and your future.
As you continue on this path, come across a clearing. In the center of this clearing stands a large, ancient tree, its branches stretching towards the sky. This tree represents your higher self, your wisdom, and your capacity for compassion and forgiveness.
Approach the tree, and as you do, feel a sense of calm and peace emanating from it. Allow yourself to sit at the base of the tree, feeling its energy and its wisdom. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, repeat the phrase ‘I am ready to forgive myself.'”
Forgiveness:
“Now, bring to mind a situation or experience from your past that still weighs on your heart. It could be a mistake, a regret, or a perceived failure. Allow yourself to see the situation clearly, but without judgment.
As you reflect on this experience, repeat the following phrases to yourself: ‘I did the best I could with the resources I had at the time. I am not defined by this one experience. I am more than my mistakes.’
Imagine that with each breath, you are releasing the burden of guilt, shame, or self-criticism associated with this experience. Feel the weight lifting, allowing you to breathe more freely, to stand taller, and to see yourself with more compassion and understanding.
Remember, you are human, and it is okay to make mistakes. It is okay to not have all the answers. And it is okay to ask for help. Forgiveness is not about forgetting or excusing, but about freeing yourself from the hold of negative emotions and self-doubt.
As you continue to breathe, imagine that you are enveloping yourself in a warm, loving light. This light represents your capacity for self-love, self-acceptance, and self-forgiveness. Allow this light to fill any areas of pain, regret, or self-doubt, healing and nurturing your heart and your soul.”
Integration and Empowerment:
“Now, take a moment to reflect on the insights and feelings that have arisen during this journey. Notice how you feel about yourself, your life, and your potential. Remember, you have the power to choose how you see yourself and the world around you.
As you prepare to return to your waking state, repeat the following affirmations to yourself: ‘I am worthy of forgiveness and compassion. I trust in my ability to let go of the past and to embrace my present. I am empowered to live my truth, to express myself fully, and to share my gifts with the world.’
Take one final, deep breath in, feeling the energy of your authentic self fully integrated into your being. When you are ready, you can slowly open your eyes, returning to your day with a renewed sense of purpose, compassion, and connection to your true self.”
