Bhakti Yoga, meaning “devotion” or “love” in Sanskrit, is a path of spiritual realization that focuses on establishing a personal relationship with the divine through heartfelt devotion. It’s one of the four main paths of Yoga, emphasizing the power of love and surrender to achieve liberation and spiritual awakening.
Here is a hypnotherapy script to help individuals embark on the path of devotion and awakening through Bhakti Yoga:
Title: Embarking on the Path of Devotion: Bhakti Yoga Awakening
Induction:
(Speak in a calm, soothing tone)
“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll embark on a journey of love, devotion, and spiritual growth. Allow yourself to relax, letting go of all tension and anxiety. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, feel your body sinking deeper into relaxation.
Imagine yourself standing in a vibrant, sacred garden, surrounded by fragrant flowers and the sweet songs of birds. With each breath, feel your heart and mind calming, like the gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze.”
Deepening:
“Imagine yourself walking through the garden’s winding paths, surrounded by statues of beloved deities and wise saints. With each step, repeat the phrase, ‘I am open, I am receptive.’ As you walk, notice the sensation of your feet connecting with the earth, feeling grounded and stable.
Now, visualize a soft, warm light beginning to emanate from the heart of the garden. As this light envelops you, it nourishes your soul, soothes your emotions, and relaxes your physical form. Allow yourself to fully surrender to this tranquility.”
Bhakti Yoga Principles:
“Focus your attention on the following principles, allowing them to resonate deeply within your subconscious:
* Shraddha: Faith and trust in the divine, and in the teachings of Bhakti Yoga.
* Sadhana: Devotional practices, such as mantra repetition, prayer, and service, to cultivate love and devotion.
* Satsang: Associating with like-minded individuals who share the same spiritual goals and values.
* Seva: Selfless service to others, as a means of expressing love and devotion.
As you absorb these principles, imagine them becoming an integral part of your being, guiding your thoughts, words, and actions towards devotion and awakening.”
Devotional Heart:
“Imagine a lotus flower blooming within your heart. As it grows, it represents your capacity for love, compassion, and devotion. With each petal, repeat the phrase, ‘I am love, I am devotion.’
Visualize this lotus flower radiating a warm, golden light, filling your entire being with a sense of connection and oneness with the divine.
As you inhale, feel this light expanding within you, and as you exhale, feel any doubts, fears, or uncertainties melting away.”
Connecting with the Divine:
“Imagine yourself standing before a beautiful, shimmering altar, adorned with symbols and tokens of your personal deity or sacred icon. Feel a deep sense of devotion and reverence, as you offer your heart and soul to the divine.
Repeat the phrase, ‘I surrender, I let go.’ As you do, imagine any burdens, worries, or doubts being lifted from your shoulders, and into the loving arms of the divine.
Allow yourself to feel the divine presence, guiding, supporting, and loving you unconditionally.”
Integration and Awakening:
“Take a moment to acknowledge the growth you’ve experienced, and the sense of devotion and awakening you’re cultivating. Allow yourself to integrate these positive changes, feeling them become a natural part of your being.
When you’re ready, slowly open your eyes, and take a deep breath. Notice how you feel, and remember that this sense of devotion and awakening is yours to nurture and grow.
As you go about your day, carry this newfound awareness with you, making choices that align with your heart’s deepest desires, and walking the path of Bhakti Yoga.”
